dialogue to reject sedition, ignorance and extremism which constitute obstacles threatening the aspirations of Muslims. Moreover, terrorism which threatens the world and is attributed to all Muslims, is instigated by the acts of extremists who trespassed the merciful tolerance of Islam. However, in these deeds they only represent themselves, even if they wear the robe of Islam, but Islam is innocent from their wrong goings. Speaking from this holy place, I call upon my brothers the leaders and peoples of Arab and Islamic countries that all adhere to the faith of Allah Almighty, reject the causes of difference and prejudice so that we provide no chances for the nation's lurking enemies. Brothers and Sisters: On this great humane occasion, I call on all of you and on whomever my words may reach, regardless who he is, to remember what all religions, faiths, and cultures have something do share; and to emphasize what is common among all. In this way we will outrun our differences, shorten distances among us, and bring about a world of peace, understanding, and prospects of progress and prosperity. In the end, I pray to Allah Almighty to accept your Hajj, bless your pursuits, return you home to your families safely and winners having earned the rewards of an accepted Hajj and forgiven sins. I also appeal to Allah Almighty that the Islamic nation be in its better conditions and wellbeing and happy returns of this occasion. Wa Al-Salamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatu Allahi Wabarakatu (Peace, Mercy and Blessings of Allah Almighty be upon you all)."
