TEHRAN On the occasion of the birth anniversaries of Prophet Mohammad (S) and Imam Ja'far al-Sadeq (AS), the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei here Sunday received top Iranian officials, foreign guests participating in the 11th International Conference on Islamic Unity and the prominent Qoranic reciters from the armies of the Islamic countries. President Seyed Mohammad Khatami, Head of the Judiciary Ayatollah Mohammad Yazdi and Head of the Legislative Ali Akbar Nateq Nouri were among the participants at this great congregation.

The Leader of the Islamic Revolution referring to the significance of the Islamic unity, said today, the Islamic world is in need of unity more than any other time for the revival of the teachings of the Holy Prophet of Islam (S) in order to save Muslims and to help them resolve the problems of Muslim world. Monotheism as a norm for leading an appropriate life teaches Muslims how to conduct themselves before friends and enemies in a social system so that they will be able to keep away from all satanic designs and be under the protection of Almighty Allah, Ayatollah Khamenei said.

The Leader added, the Iranian Muslims clearly perceived the concept of monotheism unchaining themselves from the bondage of American and arrogant dictates. The presence of the Zionists entity in the heart of the Muslim nations should make the Muslims become aware of this fact that they need to form a common united front against the usurper enemy of Islam, stated the Leader. Ayatollah Khamenei added the interference of the arrogance and the support of the United States for the Zionist occupying regime practicing international state terrorism has helped that entity continue to survive and become the means for sowing dissension among the Muslim nations.
