Iranian Ambassador to Uganda Majid Saffar has implored all Muslims across the globe to maintain unity to overcome ongoing challenges.

In his message read by his first secretary Mohsen Aghaloo at the 38th Islamic Unity Conference at Muteesa I Royal University on September 21, Saffar said “disunity among Muslims is costing hundreds of lives especially in the Middle East.”

“Unity is not a temporary or individual concept; it is a comprehensive intellectual framework rooted in our belief in the Holy Quran, the noble Prophet of Islam (Peace Be Upon Him), and his noble household,” he observed.

“Unity does not mean uniformity of schools of thought or the merging of the geographical boundaries of Muslim countries. Instead, it refers to the cohesion and solidarity necessary for preserving the collective interests of the Islamic Ummah. Our efforts towards unity should always focus on safeguarding and advancing the well-being of the entire Muslim world,” he emphasized.

Saffar based his message on the recent events in Lebanon, where Israel forces reportedly killed over 30 Lebanese including at least 16 Hezbollah militants.
