RNA – Shaykh Ahmad al-Zayn, the chairman of the board of trustees of the Society of Muslim Scholars of Lebanon, stressed upon the importance of solidarity among Muslims under the guidance of one leadership and said, “Dissension among Muslims and lack of a council for coordination of Muslim issues have led to increase of the problems.”

The cleric noted that launching a council to discuss the issues of Muslims will enhance the stance of Islamic nations against tyrants and focus the minds on Palestine plight.

He highlighted the attention of the Islamic Revolution, under the leadership of the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei, on the issue of Palestine and added, “Iran is the only country among Muslim and Arab countries that has not admitted the Zionist regime and aids the Palestinian nation.”

Shaykh al-Zayn also criticized the slogans propagated under the name of Islam which do not have anything to do with the holy religion warning that the enemies are using slogans which tarnish the image of Islam.
