In the message cabled on Tuesday, Dr Hassan Rouhani expressed hope that "on the occasion of this auspicious event, and by learning the great teachings of the Holy Quran and Islam, and the efforts of the leaders of the Muslim countries, all could witness the deepening of unity and brotherhood among Muslim nations so as to offer a better image of peaceful religion of Islam to the world.”

"Without a doubt, one of the most important duties of Islamic countries is to identify and confront extremist and Takfiri ideas and increasing collaboration in the fight against violence and extremism, the message reads.
