He said that "let us seize Ramadan as an opportunity to remind ourselves" and fellow man of that which brings us together as an Ummah under one Creator.

In relevant remarks on Saturday, Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani called for collective fight against terrorism and extremism in the world.
