Libya's grand mufti urges Muslims to support Iran, highlights concept of 'no neutrality' in Qur'an

Libya's Grand Mufti Sheikh Sadiq al-Ghariani

Libya's Grand Mufti Sheikh Sadiq al-Ghariani has called upon Muslims worldwide to support Iran amid the US-Israeli aggression against the Islamic Republic, warning that deployment of US troops in the Arab world would destabilize the region.

"There is no concept of neutrality in the Qur'an... Supporting Muslims is a religious duty," the cleric said in remarks reported by local media, as he cited religious teachings.

The grand mufti added that global arrogant powers would "have to pay the price."

He went on to urge all Muslims to draw lessons from the ongoing anti-Iran onslaught, and seek strength through faith.

The senior Libyan cleric highlighted that Muslims should "take heed of these developments and seek dignity only through obedience to God and His Prophet."

The United States and Israel initiated an extensive and unprovoked war of aggression against Iran in the wake of assassination of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, along with several high-ranking military commanders and civilians on February 28.

The aggression has comprised a series of intensive strikes on both military installations and civilian infrastructure throughout Iran, leading to considerable loss of life and extensive destruction of civilian facilities.

In response, the Iranian Armed Forces carried out a series of counterattacks, directing missile and drone strikes at American bases across West Asia and Israeli positions in the occupied territories.
