Mojtaba Khamenei asserted that it is time for Muslim people to reflect and examine developments more carefully.

“The second lesson is to defend one another against disbelief, and the third is to pursue various forms of cooperation and synergy in the different dimensions of Muslims’ material and spiritual lives—including wealth, security, knowledge, and progress. The culmination of this path will be the attainment of a new Islamic civilization,” he went on to say.
