Colonial countries are the main cause of sectarian wars in Islamic countries because, in the shadow of these wars, these countries can plunder the capitals of Muslims, destroy their facilities and infrastructure, weaken their forces, and heat up their military arms market, while keeping themselves on the safe side and becoming a regional power. But Islamic scholars and preachers, by explaining religious, political, and social truths, can raise the awareness of the Islamic nation and neutralize the colonialists’ conspiracy. Therefore, preaching the truth and informing the people is a type of jihad, and the prophets themselves are the fighters in this field. The Quran is also very clear about it: “This is a clear statement for the people” Al-Imran / 138; “This is a message for the people” Ibrahim / 52. In the history of Islam all climaxes are the result of the preaching of religious values and truths. In Karbala, the Yazidis came to the field with all they could to eradicate Islam and religious values. They introduced the son of the Prophet as a foreigner and martyred him in the most horrific way, and captivated prophet’s family. Their goal was to change the place of truth and falsehood, the oppressor and the oppressed. Imam Sajjad and Zainab al-Kubra, peace be upon them, were able to prevent the enemy from achieving their goals by exposing the conspiracy of the Umayyads and informing the people. Today, Islamic scholars, by raising awareness of the conspiracies of the colonialists, especially the usurping Zionist regime, can remove these sectarian conflicts from Islamic countries and eliminate extremist groups such as ISIS, which are the illegitimate children of the colonialists; and restore sovereignty and authority to the Islamic world.
