In Wake of Iran-Israel War, Over 1,300 Sunni Scholars Declare: “Iran’s Victory is a Victory for Islam and Humanity”

In the context of the recent Iran-Israel conflict, more than 1,300 Sunni scholars, intellectuals, and thinkers from across the world have issued a groundbreaking statement declaring the Islamic Republic of Iran’s victory as a “victory for Islam and humanity.”

Published on Sunday, June 29, the statement urges Muslim heads of state, scholars, youth, and thinkers to draw inspiration from Iran’s triumph and unite the Muslim Ummah through faith, solidarity, and resistance against Israel and Western imperialist forces.

They stated:

“Iran’s victory is the defeat of falsehood by truth, and the triumph of Islam over disbelief.”
This declaration is being seen as a call for renewed unity and awakening in the Islamic world.

The statement accuses Israel’s occupying regime—“born of British conspiracy and American support”—of acting as a “bloodthirsty cancerous tumor” spreading across Muslim lands and committing daily atrocities against unarmed Palestinian women and children.

Referencing the October 7 “Al-Aqsa Flood Operation”, the signatories noted that it shook the very foundations of Israel’s military, economic, and security establishments, describing it as an epic of resistance.

They invoked the Quranic call:

“And what is [the matter] with you that you fight not in the cause of Allah and [for] the oppressed among men, women, and children?”

The statement honored Palestinian leaders Ismail Haniyeh and Yahya Sinwar, as well as Hezbollah leaders Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and Sayyed Hashem Safi al-Din, referring to them as “lions of the Ummah” and symbols of courage and sacrifice.

The scholars warned that while Iran is currently under attack, any Muslim nation could be next. According to them, this is not just a geopolitical conflict but a war against the entire Islamic civilization and Ummah.

They called on Muslim governments, politicians, religious scholars, youth, and the general public to set aside internal divisions and build a united front of resistance.

Particularly, they emphasized the need to resist Western imperialist powers by targeting their embassies, military bases, and corporate institutions, which they view as tools of oppression.

The statement concluded with a powerful Quranic message:

“Do not weaken, and do not grieve; for you will be superior if you are [true] believers.”

They affirmed their belief that steadfastness on truth will inevitably lead the Ummah to victory and a revival of its dignity, honor, and leadership.
