Sheikh Ansari believed unity isn’t basically needed, but concerning conflict there will be seditions which may be ended in Shia murders which has been emphasized by the Household of the prophet (peace be upon them) to become accompanied with Sunnis and to visit their patients and participate in their group prayers and funerals.
Imam Khomeini (P.H.) and the supreme leader of the IRI let Shias to follow Sunnis in group prayers if it helps Muslims’ hearts to be close to each other. The Excellency Imam Khomeini believed that our quarrel isn’t the one between Shia and Sunni, but the problem is that to which Shia and Sunni we must campaign. So, he was saying that if the Shia king who was the mere Shia king in the world is tyrant, he must be campaigned. As a matter of fact, it was important for Imam Khomeini(P.H.) to know if such and such Shia or Sunni movement is moving in the path of Islamic dignity, the holy Quran or the holy prophet’s (P.K.)teachings or not? This is a new approach among the Shia scholars.
