For the Urgent Notice of all the Muslims in India regarding the baseless propaganda about the demolition of a Sunni Muslims Masjid in Iran
We would like to bring in the urgent notice of all the Muslims in India that unfortunately during last few weeks an unfounded and false news regarding the demolition of a Sunni Muslims’ Masjid (mosque) in Tehran, Iran is being circulated by the extremist militant Wahabbi Takfiri outfits in the press and websites with the malicious aim to tarnish the image of the Islamic Republic of Iran. But all those who have visited Iran are fully aware that there are more than eleven thousand Masajids (mosques) which exclusively belong to Sunni Muslims in Iran.
At present seventy thousand Masajids belong to the Shia Muslims in Iran and as per population of Shia Muslims in Iran every 4500 Shia Muslims in Iran possess one Masjid but as per population of Sunni Muslims in Iran every 500 Sunni Muslims in Iran possess one Masjid. As per the population of Iran the number of Sunni Masajids in Iran is nine times more than the Masajids of Shia Muslims in Iran.
At present the Sunni Muslims perform their daily Namaz (prayers) and Friday congregational prayers in eleven Masajids in Tehran and its suburbs.
At present the number of Sunni Muslims Deeni Madaris (Islamic seminaries) in Iran have surpassed one thousand Deeni Madaris (Islamic seminaries) and the Sunni Ulama of Iran attain the highest degrees of Islamic sciences in their Deeni Madaris functioning throughout Iran.
For the kind information of the Muslims in India more than 80 per cent of the Sunni Masajids and Deeni Madaris in Iran were built and functioning after the victory of the Islamic revolution during the last 35 years.
Sunni Muslims elect their representatives for the Majlis Shura Islami (The Parliament of the Islamic Republic of Iran). Most of the Sunni Masajids, Deeni Madaris and Sunni Muslims Members of Iranian Parliament belong to Baluchistan, Kurdistan, Golestan and Hormuzgan provinces of Iran where the majority of Sunni Muslims inhabit. The Sunni Muslims from the Sunni populated provinces of Iran elect their leading and prominent Ulama to the Majlis Khubregan (Assembly of Experts) which inspect the activities of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran and as per the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran the Assembly of Experts is authorized to elect a new Supreme Leader in the event of necessity.
The Grand Ayatullah Sayyid Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran have appointed his special representatives for the Sunni populated provinces of Iran to supervise the affairs of Sunni Muslims in these regions and special grants and facilities are granted to the Sunni Muslims in Iran.
The love, affection, unity and brotherhood which is prevailing between the Sunni and Shia Muslims in Iran is a unique example in the Islamic world. But the extremist militant Wahabbi Takfiri outfits are bent upon creating rift and differences among the Muslims in the world by their false propaganda and violent extremist anti-Islamic activities.
During last four months more than fifteen Masajids in Yemen have been devastated completely in the air raids and in Bahrain more than twenty historical Masajids have been razed to the ground. The extremist militant Wahabbi Takfiri outfits like ISIS and others have destroyed hundreds of Masajids and mausoleums (Dargahs) of the Holy Prophets and great personalities and saints of Islam. But the section of Zionist controlled press and media supporting the terrorist Takfiri outfits never highlight this violent and anti-Islamic acts of the extremist militant Wahabbi Takfiri outfits like ISIS and other terrorist outfits.
But the section of Zionist controlled press and media supporting the extremist militant Wahabbi Takfiri outfits are now carrying out the baseless and false propaganda of demolition of a Sunni Masjid in Iran with the only aim of inflaming sectarian differences among the Muslims.
Love and brotherhood is prevailing among the Muslims in India and to preserve and safeguard this understanding and unity among the Muslims is more important than before so that the Muslims can unitedly resist and combat the anti-Islamic and inhuman extremist violent activities of Takfiri terrorist outfits like ISIS and Al-Qaeda. These terrorist outfits want to destroy the unity and love among the Muslims and tarnish the image of Islam in the world. It is the duty of all the Muslims in the world to be vigilant against these terrorist outfits and unitedly foil their satanic plots.
