TEHRAN - Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has said the great Islamic movements that have recently arisen in the Muslim world are a prelude to a greater development and the rule of Islam.
The Leader made the remarks on Tuesday during a meeting with scholars and intellectuals who attended the fifth meeting of the Ahl al-Bayt World Assembly, which was held in Tehran on Sunday.
He also said, "Our stance is to support and strengthen these movements, and we hope that these Islamic movements will bring an end to the hegemony of the main enemies, namely the Zionists and the United States."
The stance of the followers of the Household of the Prophet Muhammad (S) is to support Islamic movements, he stated.
In addition, the Leader advised Muslims to be vigilant about the enemies' threats, especially their plots to create division between Shias and Sunnis.
These plots are politically motivated, he said, adding, "The global arrogance (the forces of imperialism) are especially pursuing a policy of Shiaophobia in addition to the policy of Islamophobia, so all people should be vigilant about these efforts."
"The prosperity of the Islamic ummah, especially the Shias, depends on unity among Muslims," he said.
In conclusion, the Leader said that the ongoing developments in the Islamic world herald a bright future for Muslims.
