Ayatollah criticizes grand mufti of S. Arabia for slandering Shias
TEHRAN, May 4 (MNA) – Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has stated that the European nations will certainly rise up against their governments, which are blindly following the policies of the United States and the Zionist regime.
Grand Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi, who is based in Qom, is one of the most prominent Shia clerics in the world and is a marja taqlid, which is a high-ranking Shia cleric who is regarded as a source of emulation.
In his letter, Grand Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi stated that vilifying Muslims and practicing takfir best serves the interests of the enemies of Islam, particularly the United States and Israel.
In your recent remarks, which do not befit scholars, you have called Shias the "enemies of Muslims" and have called on other Muslims to distance themselves from them, the letter read.
This is not the first time that Wahhabi scholars have sown the seeds of discord and delighted the enemies through making irrational statements, Grand Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi added.
"You, the Wahhabi grand mufti, have forgotten that if it had not been for Shia Muslims in Iran and Lebanon, Israel and the United States would have gained domination over the entire Middle East. And it is not clear where your muftis were and what they were doing at the time," he wrote.
"When Israel was massacring Muslims in Gaza, most of whom were Sunni, Shias in Iran and other places supported them (the Gazan Muslims), and if it had not been for their support, Israel would have continued (committing) atrocities," he noted.
"It would be better if we extend the hand of friendship to each other and think about the progress and dignity of Islam and Muslims," he added.
Elsewhere in his letter, Grand Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi stated, "The enemies of Islam want sectarian strife and want war to break out among Muslims so that they can exploit the rich resources of the region."

Trying To Build Society based on Peace and Justice
The one who love Imam e zaman(a.t.f.s) must be prepared to struggle and
labour his self, his pen and his wealth in the way of Imam e
zaman(a.t.f.s)
I remember the words of Imam (a.s), that we are responsible for the
duty, and not for the result. A warm smile washes away the tension of
confusion, as I thank Allah for the presence of my friend, whom Allah
may protect, and guide
IMAM E ZAMANA (a.f.t.s) Bless you And All Your Family those help others
and learn islam.
