كما قالت السيّدة زينب الكبرى عليها السلام : " والله لن تمحو ذِكرنا يا يزيد "
Fatwa from Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani on Sunnis (Sistani is the highest ranking Shia figure in the world)
"I love everyone. The religion of Islam is the religion of love, and I am surprised at how (our) enemies could create a schism between our schools of thought.
"Shiis should defend the social and political rights of the Ahl al-Sunnah before they defend their own rights.
"Our discourse should be an invitation to unity. Just as I said before, I am saying now that you should not say "The Sunnis are our brothers"; rather you should say, "Sunnis are our life."
"I listen to the sermons of the Sunni imams of the Friday prayers more often than the sermons of the Shi‘is.
"We don’t believe in differences between Arabs and Kurds. Islam brings all of us together. In researching Islamic law, I used to cite the fatawa of the Ahl al-Sunnah. We are united in our Ka‘bah, salat, and fasting."
