Quotations from Sermons "When you omit the word 'Islam' from the context of this conflict and portray an 'Islamic problem' as a regional problem, then God withdraws His helping hand. In the Quranic injunction there is no mention of any particular nation or group. The guidance which the Holy Quran has given, mentions the Muslims as a whole, and declares all of them as brothers of one another. Therefore, it is certainly not just an Arab problem. It is a problem which concerns the Islamic world. " (August 03, 1990) "The Islamic world has not followed the guidelines as enunciated in this verse of the Holy Quran regarding mutual disputes. If the Muslim states had tried to settle their mutual differences in light of this clear injunction of the Holy Quran, then the bloody and protracted war of attrition between Iraq and Iran could have been brought to a speedy end. The difficulty is, that decisions are taken on the basis of alliances, without giving consideration to the spirit of righteousness. " (August 03, 1990) "The non-Muslim nations are busy making tall claims in the name of justice, as if they have been appointed the sole custodians of justice in the world, and that justice would become extinct but for the might of these nations. On the other hand, Muslim countries are making tall claims in the name of Islam; but when you hold these claims - being made on either side - up for scrutiny, you discover that these are equally devoid of the elements of justice that are laid down by the Holy Quran. " (August 17, 1990) 6
