Wilayat al-Faqih is the axis and intellectual basis for fostering and developing Islamic unity

At the meeting, Ayatollah Yazdi offered his congratulations on the glorious anniversary of the Islamic Revolution and emphasized that the Islamic Revolution was due to the impressive role of the founder of the Islamic Revolution, the late Imam Ruhollah Khomeyni.

He also described the role of Wilayat al-Faqih (Guardianship of the Jurisprudent) as the axis and intellectual basis for fostering and promoting Islamic unity by saying, “When all Muslims have a common enemy, one can combat the enemies with a united Islam and geographical boundaries won’t prevent this.”

The head of the Society of Seminary Teachers of Qom appreciated the efforts made during Hujjat al-Islam Shahriyari’s term at the Computer Science Research Centre of Islamic Sciences – Noor and at the Judiciary, and wished him greater success at the World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought and said, “The formation of an Islamic Union can offer the religion of Islam to the world, which is extraterritorial, and in this way the role of the teachers of the Islamic Seminaries can be decisive.”

At the beginning of this meeting, Hujjat al-Islam Shahriyari referred to the establishment an Islamic Union and described the establishment of this institution as a step toward strengthening and developing the unity of the Islamic ummah and by explaining the aspirations of the late Imam Khomeyni and the intentions of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Khamenei, on the necessity of disseminating the extra-geographical thinking of Muslim countries on the basis of the “unity of the Islamic ummah.”
