Addressing a meeting of Khorasan Razavi province coordination and planning council Friday, he added that demise anniversary of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) marks a sad and sorrowful occasion for humanity as heavenly message to the earth came to a halt following his death.
He further contended that Islam is a religion of peace and mercy but the sad part is that violence and terrorism are committed in the name of Islam.
Noting that Khorasan serves as the world cultural capital since the ancient times, Rouhani said that Imam Reza (AS), the eighth Shia Imam, with his presence in Khorasan revealed that Islam is the faith of culture, logic and dialogue.
