Religious Peaceful Coexistence in Iran

Aziz Hasanović, the Grand Mufti of Croatia, during a meeting and conversation with Mohammad Mehdi Imani-pour, head of the Organization for Culture and Islamic Relations in Tehran, expressing satisfaction with his presence at the Friendship and Culture Center, congratulated him on his re-election as head of the Organization for Culture and Islamic Relations and expressed hope that the organization would achieve further success.

Referring to the religions dialogue meeting between Iran and Croatia held in Zagreb in the autumn of this year, he stated: "This event has had wide coverage in Croatian media, and in our view, this event has been successful."

The Grand Mufti of Croatia referred to his travel itinerary in Iran and his presence in Holy Mashhad and meeting with Iranian religious activists, saying: "For me, having had relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran for thirty-three years, it was very opportune to be present among the Sunnis and become acquainted with a part of this community in Iran." Aziz Hasanović expressed that interaction with Sunni leaders clarified for him that the Sunni community in Iran lives peacefully and calmly alongside the Shia community.

He also referred to the description of Sunni life in Iran by the head of the Sunni Community of Khorasan, saying: "I clearly realized that a peaceful life flows among followers of different religions in Iran."

Continuing, the Grand Mufti of Croatia, referring to the importance of the Gaza issue, stated: "Gaza is not just the issue of Palestine, but rather the issue of the Islamic Ummah, and the Holy Quran clearly mentions Al-Aqsa Mosque as the first qibla of Muslims."

He referred to the merciless killing of women and children by the Zionist regime as unimaginable cases in the current century and criticized international organizations for their passive observation of these events.

Hasanović, referring to his own experience of genocide in the past, said: "My survival has created a responsibility for me to strive to prevent the recurrence of such events anywhere in the world."

He emphasized the importance of introducing Islamic culture and values, saying: "These values are universal and require good intention for their dissemination."[1]

Messages of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran Embody Peace and Hope

Aziz Hasanović, the Grand Mufti of Croatia, in the first joint meeting of religious scholars of Iran and Croatia, stating remarks, considered the continuation of visits after the trip of the President of Croatia to Iran, which took place in early this year, as confirmation of the cooperation between the two countries. He also said: "Muslims constitute about one and a half percent of the total population of Croatia, and as a Muslim, they enjoy all social rights and freedoms."

He continued: "As a representative of religious and spiritual communities, we have condemned terrorism many times and have even issued multiple joint statements in this regard jointly with other religious communities."

In another part of his speech, the Grand Mufti of Croatia, referring to the activities of the Supreme Leader for the proper and principled acquaintance of the world with true Islam, stated: "The messages of the Supreme Leader to important religious and spiritual authorities have always been full of peace and affection and are hopeful."[2]

Introducing the Truth of Islam to the World

Aziz Hasanović, the Grand Mufti of Croatia, on the "Today's World" program of the Khabar Network, in response to the question of why some Western governments promote Islamophobia in the West and insist on this issue deliberately, noted: This question requires much analysis because in the West, efforts are made to show a negative image of Islam; therefore, it is the duty of the leaders of Islamic countries and religious leaders to show that the religion of Islam seeks peaceful coexistence and is not the religion of terrorism. We must also propagate more about Islam within Europe.

Hasanović, noting that in Europe many writers who write about Islam are non-Muslims, said: These writers aim to show an unpleasant image of Islam and portray Muslims poorly in the world.

He emphasized: Unfortunately, we Muslims in Europe do not have unity and lack what the Muslim Ummah should have. We must strive through schools, Friday prayer sermons, books, holding lectures and conferences to introduce Islam to the world as it is.

The Grand Mufti of Croatia, in response to the question that despite Islamophobia in the West and America, why has Palestine become the focus of attention for people in Europe and America today, and in recent months we have witnessed marches in support of the people of Palestine? stated: Palestine is an image of our Ummah today; Palestine confirms that the international community has lost its capability because Palestinians do not enjoy the minimum normal rights specified by the United Nations.

He added: I am from Srebrenica, and my city endured a strange genocide. Now we see this genocide continuing in Palestine and Gaza, and the international community remains silent about it.

The Grand Mufti of Croatia concluded by emphasizing: The Zionist regime continues its crimes in Gaza, but human ethics also do not permit such crimes[1].
