🔸 ... Allah the most holy says to His Messenger: ﴿لَوْ أَنْفَقْتَ مَا فِی الأرْضِ جَمِیعاً مَا أَلَّفْتَ بَینَ قُلُوبِهِمْ﴾. If you spend all the resources of the earth to unite the society, you will not be able to, because the unity is heavenly and not earthly. Unity is achieved in the shadow of monotheism and belief in Allah's good names and the resurrection and the like. With gold and silver, you have the mountain of treasures, but the society will not be united ﴿لَوْ أَنْفَقْتَ مَا فِی الأرْضِ جَمِیعاً مَا أَلَّفْتَ بَینَ قُلُوبِهِمْ﴾....

«الحمد لله رب العالمين و صلّي الله علي جميع الأنبياء و المرسلين و الأئمة الهداة المهديين و فاطمة الزهراء سلام الله عليهم اجمعين بهم نتولّي و من أعدائهم نتبرّء الي الله».
First, I honor the dignitaries, scholars, elites, intellectuals and respected scientists. We congratulate everyone on the blessed week of unity. We honor the birthday of the Holy Prophet (thousand peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). We hope that with the blessing of these birthdays, Allah the most Holy will bestow upon the Muslims all that is best on the world of Islam. We thank the organizers of this event and all the dignitaries who added and participated to the scientific weight of these congresses, by submitting articles or presenting a lecture. May Allah Almighty accept it in the best way.
What is the focus of the discussion is to learn and protect unity by using and benefiting from the common values of divine religions and sects, which is the goal of all prophets and saints of Allah (peace be upon them).
All of you know that the conflict is earthly, and the unity is divine and heavenly. Unity cannot be found in the vastness of the earth, in the depths of the earth, in the mines of the earth, in the seas of the earth, and in the mountains of the earth. Allah the most holy says to His Messenger: ﴿لَوْ أَنْفَقْتَ مَا فِی الأرْضِ جَمِیعاً مَا أَلَّفْتَ بَینَ قُلُوبِهِمْ﴾. If you spend all the resources of the earth to unite the society, you will not be able to, because the unity is heavenly and not earthly. Unity is achieved in the shadow of monotheism and belief in Allah's good names and the resurrection and the like. With gold and silver, you have the mountain of treasures, but the society will not be united ﴿لَوْ أَنْفَقْتَ مَا فِی الأرْضِ جَمِیعاً مَا أَلَّفْتَ بَینَ قُلُوبِهِمْ﴾.
The secret that the unity is heavenly and not earthly is that the earthly beings do not get together, but the heavenly beings are all united. In the heavenly books, although there is a slight difference, there is no opposition between the goals of the heavenly books. Prophets of Allah have different plans, but there is no opposition between them. Divine leaders in a religion may have differences of opinion, but there is no opposition between them. This statement is not only for the Holy Quran that ﴿وَ لَوْ كَانَ مِنْ عِندِ [2] غَيْرِ اللّهِ لَوَجَدُوا فِيهِ اخْتِلاَفاً كَثِيراً﴾؛ all the part of the Torah are in a harmony , all the part of the Bible are in a harmony, all the part of David's Psalms are in a harmony, just as all the part of the Holy Quran are in a harmony.
Therefore, the Qur'anic teachings are in harmony, because they are from the sky and not from the earth﴿وَ لَوْ كَانَ مِنْ عِندِ غَيْرِ اللّهِ لَوَجَدُوا فِيهِ اخْتِلاَفاً كَثِيراً﴾ . Differences arise from the earth, not from the sky. We have to do two things: one is to carefully understand and accept the heavenly plans; Second, monitor and manage the earthly programs carefully.
In the Holy Qur'an, he said, "What is on earth, I have subjugated it for you. “If the top and bottom of the earth have been conquered for mankind, there is no shortage for people, so they have to fight each other’s, for greed and the like. World War I and II as well as proxy wars of regions, are the result of short-sightedness. The Holy Qur'an said that conflict is harmful. This is the enlightening statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), «إِيَّاكُمْ وَ الْبِغْضَةَ ... فَإِنَّهَا الْحَالِقَةُ لِلدِّينِ. »[3] He said, be careful, the conflicts you have with each other is a blade in your hand; one. This blade cuts the roots of religion and uproots it; two.
You know that if someone shaves his head on the 10th day of Mina, the hair will not grow soon, and if he shaves his head every day, no hair will remain. In this prophetic hadith, the blessed existence of the Prophet (upon him be peace and blessings be upon him) said, «إِيَّاكُمْ وَ الْبِغْضَةَ ... فَإِنَّهَا الْحَالِقَةُ لِلدِّينِ», Don't hold grudges against each other, because hatred and enmity towards each other is a sharp razor that destroys religion. It does not let these flowers of religion grow, these bunches and fruits of religion grow. «إِيَّاكُمْ وَ الْبِغْضَةَ ... فَإِنَّهَا الْحَالِقَةُ لِلدِّينِ» this conflicts would cut the religion’s roots.
Therefore, there is a risk of dissenting and being biased, and being biased is the source of hell fire, also the disgrace of this world. Unity Nonetheless, descended from the heaven. Allah has said, ﴿وَ اعْتَصِمُوا بِحَبْلِ اللَّهِ جَميعاً﴾ [4] this rope and this line is connected to the earth by the heavenly books, and it is connected in both ends. Quran, Tura, Bible also the David psalms and all the divine writings descended to the earth not thrown to the earth. It is not thrown so they distanced from their source, but they are connected to the sky. These books while they are in our hands, the other side is in the hand of Allah. The original Tura is like that. The original Bible is like that. So, he said, ﴿وَ اعْتَصِمُوا بِحَبْلِ اللَّهِ جَميعاً﴾.
If those divine teachings that are in the heavenly books -belief in the oneness of God, the eternity of God, the resurrection process, the truth of the resurrection, and the like- are established in the hearts of society, no one ever fight anyone. There would be no WW I or WW II nor the proxy wars nor any other conflicts.
Therefore, what is called unity is from the sky, and what comes down is hanged down, not dropped. It is manifested, not depended. I mean, while it is connected to the higher realm, it is also present lower realms. To make it more clear human can think heavenly, Allah gave human potential to think divine, and gave him a heart that can have divine thoughts. He said that you should live in the best way, and the best way to live is in the shadow of unity, not to oppose each other. Not in war and military activities. It is in forgiveness and sacrifices. In order to be able to live well, you must pay attention to two things, one is that there is no shortage in the world of creation and the planetary system. You can live as long as you want, there are so many treasures in the world that provide for all of you. This is the first principle.
The second principle is that what is in the system of existence, God has put it under your control. No man has the right to say I can’t! Nor, any other heavenly or earthly beings have the right to say that I am not subject to the will of man! Both are refused and prohibited. If man has no right to say that I can't and if the world has no right to say that I am harassing; Rather, both man is powerful due to divine providence and the world has been conquered, so there is no lack for people to fight each other. Of course, the insatiable nature of greedy people is another factor that provides the basis for corruption.
Therefore, it is stated in the Qur'an that unity and harmony is not earthly, it is heavenly ﴿لَوْ أَنْفَقْتَ مَا فِي الأرْضِ جَمِيعاً مَا أَلَّفْتَ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِهِمْ﴾. Being heavenly also means that if a person was a monotheist, his most priority would be to not care and trust anyone except Allah. his heart and form are just thinking about Allah. Also, he always wants the good of others; one. Also, what is in the system, Allah has created everything for mankind, whether it is time or earth, He said: ﴿جَعَلَ لَكُمُ اللَّيْلَ وَ النَّهار﴾, He created night and day for you. Man should manage his day and night, have best plans in the day and night so that can fulfill both individual and social tasks. Both he can plan and take time under his control, -because he said: ﴿جَعَلَ لَكُمُ اللَّيْلَ وَ النَّهار﴾ - also he can take the system under his control and use both heaven and earth as a basis for exploitation. If there is no creature in the sky unless it can be subjugated and man can conquer it, then there is no shortage in the world so there is no conflict may arise due to a shortage of space or time or earth.
If greed is excessive, he should be brought up with moral virtues, otherwise there is no creature in the world that Allah did not create it for man. The verse ﴿خَلَقَ لَكُمْ ما فِي الْأَرْضِ جَميعاً﴾ or ﴿خَلَقَ لَكُمْ ﴾ what is on the sky or in the earth or we created everything in the universe is for you. So, there is no shortage of anything so human should fight each other for it.
Human should manage everything, even time, because he said: ﴿جَعَلَ لَكُمُ اللَّيْلَ وَ النَّهار﴾. Human must manage both the land and the universe but in all these plans, he should know that there is no conflict necessary in Allah's plan. There is nothing but unity and harmony there, and there is no unity the seas, because it is a place of plurality, a place of cursing each other, and a place for clash and the like.
As a result, unity is a divine matter and it is revealed in a way of manifestation, not in a way that is disconnected, and conflict is an earthly matter, and human can never achieve unity by looking at the earth and being earth-oriented, but if he looks at the sky, he can achieve unity. If humans preserve unity, he will attain happiness in this world and the hereafter.
I appreciate your presence again. I ask Allah what is best for the Islamic world and the welfare of Muslim world by the blessing of the Qur'an and Atrat.
