Islamic Solidarity in Infra-National Thoughts of Imam Khomeini

Impact of unity and Muslim solidarity

We declare we do not have any intention of encroaching upon any Islamic or non-Islamic state. We want all the Islamic countries to be brothers to one another just like the Iranian government and nation, which are in full agreement with each other, unlike the former regime where the Iranian government was against the nation and the nation against the government. Therefore, as soon as the nation found harmony, the superpowers could not keep the one who was their unconditional agents. We want all countries to have this kind of harmony we have here. All Muslims should be one hand against the aliens. Everyone in his own environment with whatever government and whatever sect, should be independent. Muslims should be brothers and friends to one another; they should relate to each other; armies of all Islamic countries should support one another. If it were not for disunity among Muslims Israel with its little population would not dare to disregard Muslims. If there were no dispute among Islamic governments and Islamic countries, America could not rule over all countries and take away all their resources. We plan to keep our country independent, to live free and to come to terms with all Muslims of the country and with all inhabitants of the country. We wish to be united with official sects, to stick together and to preserve our country. No power can harm us if we have harmony in this small environment and with this population.

Event for the monotheists of the world and believers

The issue of Quds is not a personal thing or one exclusive to a country or to Muslims of the world at the present age. It is an event for the monotheists of the world and believers in remote ages, present day and the future, from the day Masjid al-Aqsa was founded to the day this planet will rotate in this order of existence. How painful it is for Muslims with all material and spiritual resources of the world at the present age that so much insult is hurled at the holy presence of God and His grand Prophets a place within their near sight 1 by a handful of criminal rogues.

Hajj as a promised place for the unity of the Muslims and oppressed ones

What is the remedy today? For breaking these idols, what duty should be taken on by the Muslims and oppressed people? One of the remedies — the most effective ones — that puts an end to these troubles and uproots corruption is the unity of Muslims, and by the same token, the unity of oppressed and shackled people of the world. This unity, which the noble Islam and glorious Qur’an have underscored, should be achieved by calling to unity and massive propaganda. The center of this invitation and propaganda is the holy Mecca at the time of congregation of Muslims for performing the H?ajj rituals which were initiated by Abraham, Friend of God, and Muhammad Beloved one of God and will be pursued by the Savior (May our souls be sacrificed for him) at the end of the time.

Joint defense force a further step toward unity and solidarity

If the unity among Muslims and governments of Islamic countries demanded by God Almighty and His honorable prophet is attained, the governments of Islamic countries can, with the support of their nations, from a joint defense God prevails backed by they can form a joint-defense reserve army of over 100 million trained people, and a conscript army of tens of millions of troops, they comprising the biggest power in the world. Now that this is not possible, the regional and neighboring Islamic governments can make use, for the defense of Islamic countries; form a reserve army of tens of million of troops and a conscript army of over 10 million people, which surpasses the superpowers. It is hoped that regional governments irrespective of language, race and religion and under the banner of Islam will think this idea over, and plan it out and so that than can get rid of the disgrace of humanization before the superpowers and enjoy independence and freedom.
