RNA – The former leader of Jama’at-e-Islami Quetta Qari Abdul-Rahman denounced all false propaganda against Iran said it a conspiracy of the Arab countries in liaison with the United States and Israel.

In an interview, Qari Abdul-Rahman said that world powers are against the Islamic revolution that prevails in Iran, considering it a threat to their rule certain Arab countries under US dominion have brought about a negative propaganda against the state to distant it from other Muslim countries.

He added Iran has a wide range of grand clerics belonging to the Sunni sect and none among them have complaints against the government.

If Iran was biased towards Sunnis in the region then the voices of Sunni scholars, namely Mawlana Abdul-Hamid, within the country would have been heard. Their contentment reveals Iran’s attitude and practice of tolerance preached within the country and reflected in its foreign policy.

He further explained that Sunni have not only the liberty to practice their religion freely and with 15,000 mosques across the country, they have representation in the Iranian government as well.

Mawlana Ishaq Madani is the political advisor of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei, himself. Mawlana Nazir Islami is also affiliated with the office of Ayatollah Khamenei. The names mentioned are dignitaries of not only Sunnis in Iran but are renowned throughout the world as well.

Surprisingly they have no objection to Iran’s policies or have noticed a bias towards their sect; why would the world propagates news beyond comprehension is a question that one should ponder upon.

The only reason that one can contemplate is Iran, an emerging Islamic power with a just rule, remains a threat not to anyone but anti-Islamic regimes across the region.

Regimes, lest it be monarchy, autocratic or self-styled democratic, are bringing false propaganda against Iran in order to save their skin.

Qari Abdul-Rahman is a renowned cleric from Quetta and currently serving as a khatib (religious speaker) at Jami’ah Quetta Mosque.

He, as well, is Secretary General of Darul-Umour Islami, Quetta.

Earlier, he had the responsibility for information and propagation for Jama’at-e-Islami and in the advent had translated many books of Mawlana Abul-Ala Mawdudi in Pashto.

He was later made Jama’at-e-Islami’s secretary of Seminary Committee.
