Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati acted as the interim leader of Tehran’s weekly rituals of Friday Prayers and touched upon a plethora of issues mainly the upcoming elections of Parliament and Assembly of Experts to be held on Friday, February 26, 2016.
I wish that followers of Jesus Christ take him as a role model and, quite like him, avoid oppressing anybody and hasten to help the miserable, said Ayatollah Jannati after offering greetings on the occasion of Christmas.
Pointing to the Week of Unity, which is the period between the two disputed dates of Prophet Muhammad’s birthday, one believed by Shias and the other held by Sunnis, he cherished the occasion for its numerable merits for Muslims.
He voiced deep sorrow for the acts and deeds of the heads of the Islamic countries and regretted that despite strategic geopolitics of Islamic countries in the rich energy hub of the world and the total population of 1.5 billion Muslims, they are not united and they suffer a lot because of that.
