Tehran, YJC. Iran’s Larijani delivered a speech on the Muslim world’s capacities and difficulties at the closing ceremony of the 5th International Quran Competition which was being held in the capital Tehran.
Parliament speaker Ali Larijani referring to to the increasing
number of scholars in the Muslim community, said that the spread of science in
various Islamic countries must be considered as a highly valuable opportunity.
He warned about attempts trying to create dissention among
Muslims and criticized states that sought to intensify such conflicts; "we
Muslims follow the same beliefs and the same holy book, and must stop spreading
division. Why not take advantage of all the capacities within the Muslim community
to bring about more unity among us?”

assertion that the drop in oil prices is to harm Muslim countries, adding that,
"such sort of day-dreaming countries are absolutely mistaken in their beliefs
because we are making endeavors not to base our economy on oil revenues.”
