The prophet is the prophet of knowledge, wisdom, morality, mercy and unity. He was the prophet of all great human virtues. Anyone who is attached to these human virtues loves the Prophet of Islam (s.w.a.).
You and I - the Muslims who claim and feel proud to follow this great personality and who are prepared to show resistance, lay down our lives and spend money on his path - need to follow his teachings and make efforts on this path. The message of Islam includes this obedience and learning - that is to say, the knowledge, wisdom, acumen, mercy, unity, morality and other human characteristics that the Holy Prophet's (s.w.a.) message promoted and that Hazrat Abi Abdullah Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq (peace and greetings be upon him) made the most efforts to promote and establish. Today, this is the responsibility of all Muslims. Of course, the masses of the people follow the officials of countries. It is governments, outstanding personalities, intellectuals, scholars, politicians and other such personalities who have the main responsibility in this vast arena.
If we stay together, if Islamic governments and Muslim nations - whether Shia or Sunni or different denominations of Shia and Sunni - are honest with one another, if they are not suspicious of one another, if they do not insult and have malevolent intentions against one another, notice what will happen in the world and what great dignity will be brought about for Islam. Unity, unity!
Today, when I take a look at the issues of our own society and the issues of the world of Islam, I see that although all these great matters - including knowledge, wisdom and morality - are important for the world of Islam, the thing that is of primary importance is unity. We Muslims have drifted away from one another to a great extent. Unfortunately, certain policies have been successful in separating Muslims and the hearts of Muslim groups from one another. Today, we need unity.

Today, the world of Islam needs to turn to wisdom and reason and to get used to thinking, to gaining a correct understanding of issues and interpreting them in the right way. Today, the world of Islam needs to gain a true understanding of the camp of the enemies of the Islamic Ummah. We should know our enemies and friends.
Sometimes, it has been witnessed that a group of Muslims cooperated with our enemies in order to strike our own friends and brothers. Well, this harms us and it agitates and weakens the world of Islam. This results from lack of foresight. Today, the world of Islam needs foresight, acumen and wisdom. It needs the hidden virtues of reason: "to unveil before them the hidden virtues of reason".
Another important need of the world of Islam is unity. We should pass through trivial, personal and ideological differences and we should form a united Ummah: "Verily, this Ummah of yours is a single Ummah, and I am your Lord and Nurturer: therefore serve Me" [The Holy Quran, 21: 92]. This is Allah the Exalted's command. Are belief in the Holy Quran, belief in the Holy Prophet (s.w.a.), belief in a single God and belief in a single Ka'bah and qiblah and confrontation against a united camp of enemies not enough for the unity of the world of Islam? Why do some people not understand this? Why do some people not understand these clear truths? What is the purpose of America and the camp of westerners in promoting Iranophobia and Shiaphobia? Why do some people not think about their goal?
The usurping Zionist regime - today, the existence of this regime is the greatest disaster of the world of Islam - should be able to live comfortably? It should be able to resolve its problems and it should overcome the destructive factors which thankfully exist in the foundations of this usurping regime? This is not possible except by busying Muslims with trivial issues, creating discord among them and magnifying small issues.
