Stressing the importance of unity, Mawlawi Hibatullah Akhundzada, the supreme leader of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA), said in his Eid al-Adha speech on Monday he is ready to step down from his position if asked to, but he does not want division.

Akhundzada said that the enemies will benefit from division among Afghans.

“I don’t want division. If one day everyone unanimously dismisses me from this position, I will accept it, but I will not accept dispute and division. Grip on power is strengthened with division. If I try to divide people, they will not agree on me. They will be engaged in disputes among themselves. But I don’t want that. This is Pharaoh’s policy. This is a satanic policy,” he said.

The leader of the Islamic Emirate emphasized that the current system is a Sharia-based system and should be strengthened. He said that this government ensures justice, but only if there is unity.

“Try to create brotherhood and unity among yourselves,” he said. “Almighty Allah is testing us… we should put aside our worldly and satanic desires and submit ourselves to the pleasure of Allah… We were not created to achieve worldly desires, to earn money and to gain worldly honor. Rather, we were created to serve Allah.”

Akhundzada recommended that each other’s faults should not be expressed openly, but in secret.

He also emphasized the need to ensure women’s Shariah rights and said that they should be given their inheritance rights.

In his speech, the leader of the Islamic Emirate also addressed the issue of Palestine and prayed that Allah would make the Palestinians victorious against Israel.

He said that the superpowers of the world neglect the killing of women and children in Gaza, but offer advice to the Islamic Emirate.

“Women and children are martyred. How do you advise me and request me and want me to accept your demands? Both infidels and Muslims have closed their eyes. Brothers! Today it is you who raise the voice of Islam. The world has bid farewell to Islam,” he said.
