RNA - Hujjat-ul-Islam Ahmad Moballeghi, Head of the University of Islamic Denominations, visiting some European countries, attended the conference on Mahdavism and Messianism held in Rome saying that the more advancement in society, the closer religions get.

He noted that the closer religions get, the more stress on God Almighty as their commonality and the more tendency to morality, science and confrontation with ignorance in all fields.

He added," The present situation in some countries where different denominations are standing against each other is the last breaths of religious prejudice."

Head of the University of Islamic Denominations also said," Human society will witness a day when God will not be absent any more and the religions will not fight for God, morality will prevail all human relations and human potentiality will come to a peak to prevail a united discipline on society. That can be called the phase of perfectness for human talents and that is the time for revelation of the last savior."

Professor of Qom Seminary also touched upon the relation of Islam and Christianity promising their increasing convergence and referred to Islamic quotes on revelation of Jesus Christ and Hazrat Mahdi (AS), grandson of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) and the last savior according to Islam, together.

Iranian cleric expressed his views on the possibility of confrontation or unity of the Messianists and said, "Since Messianist are focusing on one final perfect objective, they will not stand against each other even if there are basic ideological disagreements between them."

Hujjat-ul-Islam Moballeghi noted," Islam and Christianity are capable of coming to a perfect convergence in spite of some literal differences; hence, we are quite optimist on the advancement of human being and have to increase our efforts for bringing reform to society."

Head of the University of Islamic Denominations stressed," Messianism, in spite of its various definitions in different denominations, mandates a collective confrontation with corruption and naturally this common point will lead to a gradual formation of a spiritual front which will come to a sympathy and convergence among its members."
