Islamic unity week (Persian: هفته وحدت اسلامی) is held annually by Muslims between the date Sunnis consider to be Muhammad's birthday and they which Shia Muslims consider it to be.

History

The previous record of the Islamic unity week is related to the time when Seyyed Ali Khamenei was in Sistan and Baluchestan; and this Shia cleric/scholar (with the co-operation of some Sunni scholars) decided to hold this unity week, and they celebrated these days (Islamic unity week) to show the unity between Shia-Sunni.[1][2]

After Iranian Revolution, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini proposed to call the interval between the two dates as Islamic unity week. Ayatollah Montazeri suggests to ayatollah Khomeini to call the week as Islamic unity week in reaction to the Saudi Mufti's attacks on Sunnis and Shia.[3]

The two dates are the twelfth of Rabi Al Awwal, the first week of the third lunar month of the Islamic calendar, according to Sunnis, and the seventeenth of Rabi al Awwal, according to Shia.[4]

Events

Wahhabi clerics consider the celebration of the Muhammad's birthday inconsistent with Islam. Most Sunnis and Shias disagree.[5] The idea originated with the government of the Islamic republic of Iran.[6] Every year, the Islamic republic of Iran holds an international conference of Shia and Sunni scholars and other Muslim participants.

Dependent organizations and occasions

There are two wide organizations considered with the subject of Islamic unity of Muslim community: The World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought and the organization of Islamic propaganda. Meanwhile, the conference of Islamic unity with determined aims is held every year.[7]
