An anthem of Sunni-Shia Islamic unity pronounced in 1982 by the prominent and influential Sunni scholar Ahmad Deedat. His own observations from the Islamic Revolution of Iran which defeated the secularist Shah oppressing the Iranian people for over two decades.

As Iqbal beautifully describes this situation: "O' you Muslims, you will not perish if Iran or the Arabs perish, that the spirit of the wine is not dependent on the nature of it's container." The container is our nations, our boundaries and the spirit of Islam is not dependent on our geographical boundaries or national limitations. So this is what Allah (swt) does again and again, he chose the Jews then he chose the Arabs then when they became lax he chose the Turks and when they became lax another people and so on and this is a continuous process. If you don't do the job, Allah(swt) will chose another people who will. In the world today there are a thousand million Muslim, that is ,one billion we boast! And 90 percent of this one billion happens to be the Sunni branch. We have stopped delivering the goods so Allah(swt) chooses a nation that we have all been looking down upon. The Iranians! The Shias! History has been very unkind to our brethren in Iran that the shah happened to be the ruler, and his name happened to be Muhammad. Imagine, that this mans name happened to be Muhammad and he really wasn't a believer. It's hard for us to imagine today, but once you go to that country and you go into the details and find out what was going on. That this Iranian the shah it seems to be,that he was a foreigner. If Hitler conquered this land and oppressed them, then we could understand. If the Russians conquered the people, we can understand. But here is a man who is an Iranian, speaking Persian, whose name was Muhammad, and look at what he was stooping to. For sixteen years he had forbidden Jummah prayers. Sixteen years. We had been equating Iran with the shah and the shah with Iran. To us they were synonymous terms. But when you go into details we learn that the shah and the Iranian people were both apart. They were in reality foreigners to one another.

  • Some people might have the misconception that this was a Shia-Sunni war as the majority of the arab countries were backing Saddam Hussein..

    but the truth is that Saddam invaded IRAN to protect his dictatorship and crush the revolution that was firing up in his own country after overthrowing of the Shah in Iran..and the majority of the Arab regimes(not the people) backed Saddam as they themselves feared if IRAN was successful it would lead to an Islamic uprising in their countries too..

  • i think Arabs have good intention but they are weak in world politics. i think they are in their comfort zone.Ahmednijad is good poilitician.I wish shia and sunni had same culture .Lets Follow prophet and his sunna so that we will be at the same page

  • saddam hussain intention was to fight the SHAH military of that time. At that time people of iran was against shah so what i have understood is Saddam Hussain tried to side up the people of iran by fighting the military of shah but it may be it was the interest of people could be more nationalist than islamic

  • That means a lot coming from someone who doesn't even know how to spell ^^
