Culture and Islamic Guidance Minister:

Imam Khomeini was the great harbinger of Islamic Unity

Imam Khomeini stressed on pure Islam from the beginning and so a unity was made among the Islamic system so we without relying on the West or the East the Islamic system could be established. Imam Khomeini instead of paying attention to the differences, payed attention to fate, piety and Jihad.

Syria’s Grand Mufti:

''Imam Khomeini leaded the Islamic revolution of Iran with his fate.''

In the Islamic awakening all the Muslim, Shia or Sunni, have stepped in, and by chanting “Allah-u-Akbar” (Allah is great) and without prejudice shouted for their rightful demands.

Imam Khomeini’s thoughts are suitable for all the Muslim nation rather Shia or Sunni

Hojatoleslam Taskhiri:

Before Imam, Islamic unity was mostly a theoretical discussion

At the time which the Islamic world was looking for unity among its children, they didn’t have the necessary instruments, but Imam Khomeini by founding the great government of the Islamic republic, paved the path for other Muslims.”

Gorbachev’s response to Imam Khomeini:

''Your message has deep concerns about the fate of mankind''

On January 4th 1989 Imam Khomeini’s message was delivered to Gorbachev by his selected delegations who were Ayatollah Javadi Amoli, Mohammad Javad Larijani and Mrs. Marzieh Hadidehchi Dabbaq. Eight weeks later Gorbachev delivered his response to Imam Khomeini by the then Soviet foreign minister, Edward Shevardnadze in Tehran. Gorbachev saw a great value to Imam’s message in his response, but it was clear that he had not understood the spiritual dimensions of Imam’s message. Because he had first tried to describe his activities for promoting political freedom in the Soviet Union and then he had described the achievements of a communist economic from 1917 till now. In the meeting between Eduard Shevardnadze, those days Soviet foreign minister, and Imam Khomeini, Ali Akbar Velayati, those days Iranian foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Larijani, deputy of the foreign minister and a member of the delegation, and Alireza Nobari, then the Iranian ambassador to the Soviet Union were also present.
