Fighting the Zionist regime is obligatory for the Muslim world: Ayatollah Khamenei

Palestine is the first important issue of the Muslim world. According to the Islamic Fiqh (jurisprudence), when an enemy dominates Muslim lands, "Jihad" is the duty of all, in any form possible. 

On the occasion of Eid al-Fitr, this morning, a group of government officials, ambassadors of Islamic countries, and others, were received by the Supreme Leader in Imam Khomeini hussainiyah.

At this meeting the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution called on Muslims to become united and aware of the enemies' plans to sow discord among them. His Eminence stressed, "The enemy uses ethnic, religious and geographical excuses to sow discord. Conflict and division are detrimental to Islam and the Muslim Nation; on the other hand, togetherness of Islamic countries and avoiding the use of force against each other is in accordance with divine wisdom and in the interest of all Islamic countries."

Bringing the Palestinian cause to the attention of attendees, His Eminence asserted, "Palestine is the first important issue of the Muslim world. According to the Islamic Fiqh (jurisprudence), when an enemy dominates Muslim lands, Jihad is the duty of all, in any form possible. Today, the fight against the Zionist regime is obligatory for the Muslim world. Why do some abandon this job?"
