Hujjat-ul-Islam wal-Muslimin Sayyid Ahmad al-Araji, preacher and Friday prayer leader of the Shiites of Erbil, Iraq, on Wednesday morning, October 19, at the 35th International Islamic Unity Conference, while congratulating on the birthday of the Holy Prophet of Islam, Muhammad Mustafa "Palestine and the Islamic Resistance, the conspiracy to normalize relations with the Zionist enemy and the duty of the elites and scientists of the Islamic world towards it," he said. For whatever reason; So that after that, the relations between the parties return to normal, as if before, there were no differences, strained relations or tensions.
He added: "The question that comes to mind here is whether the leaders of the Arab countries who have normalized with Israel have already had differences and tensions in their relations with Israel, so that the word 'normalization' can be used. What is their current relationship? On the other hand, the normalization of relations is an action that requires equality between the two sides of the dispute so that it can take on the right meaning; Because this is a reciprocal action based on equality and reciprocity.
The Iraqi scholar asked, "Is the normalization of relations between the leaders of some Arab countries and Israel based on equality and reciprocity?" He stated: From the point of view of answering the question, first of all, it should be said that there were no differences and ambiguities in the relations between the normalizers of relations and the Arab rulers such as the UAE and Bahrain who wanted this normalization, and the relations between the parties were conducted in secret but normalization allowed them to have a public relationship.
In response to the second question, he said: "What is called the normalization of relations between the leaders of some Arab countries and Israel, and one of its requirements is equality between the parties, does not exist in the concept of so-called normalization." What is called normalization has no purpose other than to serve one side, which is the Zionist regime, which in itself is a kind of sanctification of the occupying Zionist regime and leads to its greater domination of Palestine and other Arab countries. And Islam serves Israel's goals economically, ideologically, culturally and programmatically.
He continued: "This action is to put pressure on the Islamic Republic of Iran and prevent the role of Iran and the Mubarak Front of Resistance, and what is called the normalization of relations, its main purpose is to achieve the goal of Israel and sanctify the so-called deal." It is the new century and the Middle East that serves Israel and turns Israel into a power that will take control of the destiny of the region.
Al-Araji stressed that the normalization of relations that sanctified the rulers of the UAE and Bahrain, for example Israel, led to a major geopolitical shift in the Middle East under US supervision and guidance, as the United States sought to shape the region's vision and culture. Recreate that will allow Israel to integrate into the region and accept its role, without changing its attitudes and policies towards Palestine and its people through media programs.
He noted: "This regime uses all audio, visual and written media to develop this new culture to replace the culture of Islamic Arab vision and resistance." Therefore, it is obligatory on all scholars of the Islamic world to stand against such a Zionist-American project and to inform the Muslim Ummah about the abuse of the rulers by them and to use all the news media, tribunes, meetings and conferences. Also, take a firm stand on the issue of Palestine.
He stressed: "The issue of Palestine is not only a political issue but also a religious issue that is related to Quds and Al-Aqsa Mosque, which is one of the most important sanctuaries of Islam." The intellectuals, the intellectuals and the elites must also confront the normalization of relations and be well aware of the volume of conspiracies being carried out against the Arab and Islamic countries and the whole region, and be aware of the consequences of this occupation.
Referring to the type of occupation of the enemies, Al-Araji said: "Occupation is not only military but also economic, ideological and cultural and also an attempt to destroy the Islamic identity." All these issues are the result of the same vicious normalization, and all that arises from it is the domination of the Zionists and the confiscation of freedom and dignity.
He stressed: "Informed Muslim youth should be aware of the extent of these conspiracies and the strengthening of the resistance front in Palestine and other regions, and equip it with their youthful strength, scientific, cultural power, solidarity and unity to carry out this Zionist-American plan." Designed by the traitorous Arab leaders, who have no will of their own and turn their backs on the nation and the Palestinian cause to appease their masters and maintain their throne.
In the end, the Iraqi scholar stressed: The great efforts of the Islamic Republic of Iran for the unity of the Palestinian people and their solidarity, as well as exposing the plans of the enemies and their constant efforts to eliminate the Palestinian issue, should not be ignored. These efforts of Iran are in accordance with the guidelines of the late Imam, Imam Khomeini (may God have mercy on him) who kept the last Friday of Ramadan alive every year by naming it the International Day of Quds and by holding this blessed conference by the World Forum for the Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought. Islam reminded them of the commonalities between all Muslims and called for the formation of a united nation in the shadow of Islam.
