On the occasion of the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) and Imam Jaafar Sadeq, observed on the 17th of Rabi ul-Awal on the lunar calendar, falling on December 29 this year, Iranian officials, foreign guests participating in the Islamic Unity Conference, ambassadors of Muslim countries and a group of people from different walks of life, met on Tuesday morning with Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution.
In this meeting, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution offered felicitations on the birthday of the Great Messenger of Islam (PBUH) and Imam Jaafar Sadeq. Referring to the fact that the emergence of Islam and the birth and ordainment of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) instilled the essence of life and real spirituality, and sounded the death knell for the dead and pest-stricken world of paganism, Ayatollah Khamenei said the most important task assigned today to the Muslim world, particularly genuine scholars and intellectuals, is to make “serious and brave efforts” to breathe the genuine essence of Islam and spirituality into a world replete with injustice, discrimination and brutality. The Leader of the Islamic Revolution noted: “Today, it is the Muslim world’s turn to move in the direction of developing a ‘modern Islamic civilization’ by applying science and global tools as well as reason and wisdom and prudence and insight.”
