“Say, come to a word common between us and you: 3:64 needs to be put into practice by all Islamic groups. The most important and fundamental focal point for unity to come into existence among Islamic Ummah is the blessed existence of Prophet of Islam (S.A.W) and Ahlulbayt (A.S), who are honourable and respectable to all Muslims.
Hazrat Ayatullah Uzma Sayyid Ali Khamenei declares the blessed existence of the noble Prophet (S.A.W) and the utmost love of Muslims for him as axis and centre for the unity of Muslims and there is no doubt.

The Love for Prophet of Islam and the Respect and Regard for him is the Centre of Unity and Unanimity
The Muslims today are facing various difficulties and complicacies within different Islamic sects and it is always a problem for them. Anyway whatever possible they should get rid of it. In this connection only one aspect and centre which is available with them and nobody has any objection about it. Even they are unanimous in the belief of monotheism too. However, possibly some people may have some different opinion in its interpretation and elucidation which may not be acceptable to others. But the thing about which there is no disagreement that is the love and affection and reverence for Hazrat Muhammad ibn Abdullah (S.A.W) and his descendants. It is the centre of unity and unanimity. Attempts need to be taken to make concentration upon it. We have already said and some courageous people have made efforts towards this direction in order to establish a common platform among different Islamic sects. Today also these courageous people need to sit together and discuss about it and make the people to concentrate upon this centre of unity.

The Prophet of Islam is the Pivot of Belief and Devotion for All Muslims
In every period, the blessed existence of the noble Prophet (S.A.W) has been the highest source and centre for Muslims and it can be so even today. Since the belief of all Muslims is affiliated with the love and affection of Prophet (S.A.W), therefore he is pivot and centre of beliefs and for the belief and devotion for all Muslims and this very centralization is being considered the cause of love and affection in the hearts of Muslims and the basis of proximity among different sects.
Whatever we have heard or understood about this blessed personality chosen by Almighty and about this Chief of the Prophets of human history is just a glimpse of his moral, spiritual and real divinely existence and this very limit of understanding is sufficient for Muslims as firstly it guarantees the guidance for Muslims towards ultimate, due to which a man gets access to human evolutionary climax and secondly it can persuade them towards Islamic unity and concord under and around this centre. Therefore we would like to advise all the Muslims to focus their attention towards aspects of personality, life and conduct of the noble Prophet (S.A.W) and may work more and more on the traditions and teachings of this holy personality.

The Holy Prophet of Islam is the Centre of Love and Affection for the World of Islam
The blessed personality of the noble Prophet (S.A.W) is the most effective source for creating unity. We have already said that the world of Islam can unite on the basis of this very centre. This is the pivotal place for attracting the feelings of all Muslims. This is the centre of love and affection for the Muslim world. You may appreciate that Zionist hired writers are focusing their attention towards this centre and asperse them. They try to gradually lessen the significance of Muslim Ummah and world of Islam and abolish it once for all and it is noteworthy.
Our scientific and cultural experts, politicians, writers and artisans may focus their attention towards this point and may insist and persuade all Muslims to shun their issues of differences and may not blame each another and not declare each other as infidels and never dispel and expel each other out of religious bond. The commemoration and affection of the Prophet (S.A.W) bestows happiness and delight to the heart of whole Muslim Ummah. We all are his lovers and devotees.

The Love and Affection of Prophet of Islam (S.A.W) Paves Way for Muslim Unity
The important aspect of the personality of Prophet of Islam (S.A.W) towards which reference can be made is the pivotal and central position of his personality regarding unity of Muslims and it is such a feeling and spirit that affiliates the relation of Muslims towards this blessed personality. The devotion and love of Muslims while smoothening the way of unity and unification of Muslims can bestow strength in their unanimity.
The Muslims of the world can unite and come together in the blessed name of noble Prophet (S.A.W) more easily than any other thing. This is special to his blessed personality. I have said that the holy Prophet (S.A.W) is the centre of feelings of Muslims and a sanctuary for them. Every Muslim is the lover of his Prophet (S.A.W). O’ Allah! You are a witness that our hearts are over brimmed with the love and devotion of Prophet (S.A.W). We need to take advantage of this love and affection. It can open the ways. The Muslims today are in need of brethren and friendship. Today the slogan of

“The believers are brethren to each other, so make peace with your brethrenâ€‌ is to be taken more seriously than before. Today in all countries of the world whatever disgrace and disparity the Muslims are facing that is all because of differences and division.
The Islamic unity is a desire. Some people are longing for unity in real sense and some people just talk about it which is nothing but a lip service. However, in any case this desire needs to be fulfilled through action.
No desire can be fulfilled without efforts and endeavour and when we think about the practical way of fulfilling this desire, the most important and highest choice that comes forth is the excellent personality of the whole world of creation i.e., the divine personality of the Great and the last Prophet (S.A.W), as his gracious self is the centre and pivot of feelings and beliefs of all Muslims. His gracious personality is perhaps the exceptional centre of unanimity among all the realities and sources. Besides him there is no any other centre and if it happens to be that too is very rare, as the feelings do have a greater role. However, apart from some people who are separate from general Muslims, they don’t have any business with love and intercession; the general Muslims possess the most emotional love and affection with the noble Prophet (S.A.W). It is because of this that the blessed personality of the Prophet (S.A.W) can be the pivot and centre of Unity of Muslims.
