Iraqi Cleric: The Islamic Republic of Iran Has Restored Dignity to Muslims
Al-Fahdawi praised this year’s Islamic Unity Conference, noting the presence of new personalities and the growing success of efforts to promote proximity among Islamic schools of thought. He attributed this progress to the dedication of scholars and members of the World Forum for Proximity.

He emphasized that religious scholars and institutions bear the primary responsibility for strengthening Islamic unity. Citing the Quranic command to hold fast to the rope of God and avoid division, he stressed that unity and brotherhood must be prioritized, especially in the face of attempts by enemies to divide the Ummah and exploit its resources.
Al-Fahdawi asserted that if other Islamic governments had raised their voices in defense of the Ummah as Iran has, the situation of Muslims would be vastly different. He described the Unity Conference as a necessary response to the crisis in Gaza and the coordinated Western front against the Islamic world, which has left the Ummah fragmented and vulnerable.
He warned that the Zionist regime does not distinguish between nations or sects—it targets all Muslims. Its ultimate goal, he said, is global domination, beginning with the Islamic world.
Referring to the recent attack on Hamas negotiators in Qatar, Al-Fahdawi criticized the U.S. for enabling Israeli aggression despite Qatar’s role as a mediator and host of the American Al-Udeid base. He concluded that such enemies honor no agreements.
He also condemned the 12-day Zionist assault on Iran and accused certain Arab media outlets of fueling sectarianism under Western influence. Iran’s powerful response, he said, uplifted the hearts of believers, and Muslims now expect Iran to respond firmly to any future aggression. He called on Qatar to do the same.
Al-Fahdawi affirmed that Iran’s deep strikes into occupied territories restored dignity to Muslims, and many viewed the attack on Iran as an attack on the entire Islamic Ummah. He stressed that political strength and military capability are essential for Muslim nations to defend themselves.
He described Iran as a military power and a unifier of the Ummah, capable of matching Western weaponry through self-reliance, while many Islamic countries remain dependent and defenseless.
Responding to threats against the Supreme Leader and other Muslim figures, Al-Fahdawi said that targeting any Muslim leader is a blow to the entire Ummah. He praised Iran and Gaza for uniting Islamic and global efforts against Zionism, noting that even many non-Muslims now oppose the regime—an outcome that benefits the Ummah of Muhammad.
He concluded by affirming that Muslims now trust Iran to deliver real and deterrent responses to any aggression, and this trust has brought calm to the Islamic world. In Iraq, he said, efforts to strengthen Islamic unity continue through sermons, gatherings, and practical initiatives. He warned that sectarian division is precisely what common enemies seek.
Al-Fahdawi closed by saying: “We are all followers of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), and we honor the Companions. If we were united, Gaza would not be in such a tragic state, and the enemy could not have occupied it or attacked Syria, Yemen, Qatar, Iraq, and other Islamic nations.”
