Supreme Leader-Ahl-ul-Bait Assembly

Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei on Sunday called for propagation of the teachings of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) Infallible Household.

In a meeting with dignitaries taking part in the Fourth World Assembly of Ahl-ul-Bait (Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) Infallible Household), the Supreme Leader called for studying the realities and the needs of the Muslim world.

The Supreme Leader said that promoting the Islamic identity and the current Islamic awareness led to Islam's victory over the unjust and arrogant powers.

Ayatollah Khamenei offered felicitations to the Muslims around the world on the auspicious occasion of the lunar month of Sha'ban and said that the British colonialism hatched the conspiracy of sowing discord among the Islamic schools of thought in order to prevent Islamic solidarity.

"Islamic solidarity and establishment of a united Islamic Ummah are very dangerous for the greedy arrogant powers. Therefore, in addition to Britain, the US and the Zionist intelligence services are doing their best to prevent Muslims from fostering unity." The Supreme Leader said that flourishing Islam in the world after victory of the Islamic Revolution has drawn ire of the arrogant powers, so, they do what they can to sow discord between Iran and other Islamic states.

Ayatollah Khamenei said that Islam has flourished around the world the extent of which is not comparable with the past 20 years despite the propaganda campaign against the school of thought of the infallible household.

The Supreme Leader said that science and technology have ramatically developed in the world compared with 20 years ago and the US has become weaker, so, it has not the same power and authority that it enjoyed 20 years ago.

"The US and its followers have been entangled in a quagmire and they go down deeper as much as the time passes so a gloomy prospect is awaiting them."

Ayatollah Khamenei recommended Muslims to follow guidelines of Sahifeh Sajjadiyeh, the book written by Imam Zeinol Abedin, the fourth Imam of Prophet Mohammad's (PBUH) Infallible Household.
