Imam-e-Kaaba urges Iran, Saudi Arabia to unite over Quran and Sunnah

LAHORE: Imam-e-Kaaba Shaikh Khalid al-Ghamidi on Sunday urged the people of Saudi Arabia and Iran to unite over the Holy Quran and Sunnah.

Speaking exclusively to Geo News in an interview on the program 'Jirga', the Imam urged Saudi Arabia and Iran to shun their differences.

The Imam said that enemies want to hurt Muslims by creating divisions within their ranks, and that the unity of the Muslim Ummah is the need of the hour.

"As the Imam of Haram Sharif, I call upon all Muslims, whether it is our Saudi or Iranian brothers, to unite over the Holy Quran and Sunnah. Today, our enemy does not want to see us united. They want to see us divided like this," he said in the exclusive interview with Saleem Safi.

"A Muslim is the flag-bearer of Quran and Sunnah. It is critical that we unite while shunning sectarian differences," he said.

Speaking about Taliban and the Islamic State or Daesh militant groups, the Imam said that those who misinterpret the Quran and apply Quranic verses about infidels on other Muslims are “Khwarij”.
