Description
The Islamic Unity Week is marked between 12-17th Rabiul Awwal on the occasion of the Birth Anniversary of Prophet Mohammad (Pbuh&hp). This period in which Muslims ponder on the fundamental call of unity according to the Holy Quran was initiated by the founder of the Islamic Revolution, the late Imam Khomeini (ra), following the establishment of the Islamic Republic of Iran in 1979.

Since its inception, the Islamic Unity Week has been marked annually throughout the world, and has played an important role in bringing the various Islamic Schools of Thought on a single platform, since Allah (swt) is One, and Muslims believe in the single Qur’an and bow towards the same focal point, that is the Holy Ka’ba, five times a day during daily prayers. Other commonalities among Muslims including fasting during the same month of Ramadhan and performance of the annual Hajj pilgrimage on the same dates of the month of Zil-Hijja. In view of these and other remarkable factors of unity, it is but natural for Muslims following the different schools ofjurisprudence to close ranks in solidarity, especially in view of the divine commandment in the Holy Qur’an to

“And hold fast by the covenant of Allah all together and be not disunited.” (Holy Qur’an 3:103)
