Rouhani Visits India, Urges Muslim Unity In Face Of Enemies
Local Editor
Visiting India, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani called on all Muslims across the world to preserve their unity in the face of the "Israeli" regime and other enemies.
Rouhani made the remarks after attending the Friday prayers at Makkah Masjid in the city of Hyderabad, the capital of the southern Indian province of Telangana.
He further censured the US for recognizing the holy occupied city of al-Quds as the "capital" of the Zionist entity, calling on the Muslims to support the Palestinian cause.
He also lashed out at Washington for imposing a ban on travelers from six largely Muslim countries.
Extending the Iranian people's regards to the Indian nation, Rouhani recalled Prophet Muhammad [PBUH]'s teachings on the need for unity among Muslims and said "all Muslims' prayers should be along these lines."
"If part of the Muslim society in the Islamic world today is suffering from a problem, it is because Islam's teachings and advice are not acted upon and that real Islam is not dominant," he said.
The Iranian chief executive arrived in India on Thursday on a three-day trip at the invitation of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He is heading a political and economic delegation, including Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and a number of representatives from the Iranian private sector.
Earlier, Rouhani and other Iranian officials held a meeting with a group of elites, religious clerics and leaders of the Muslim community in Hyderabad, where he warned of Western attempts to sow discord among Muslims by creating Takfiri outfits.
