The most influential Iranian Sunni scholar expressed his happiness on the victory of Taliban in the recent peace talks and called withdrawal of foreign occupying forces the demand and desire of all Muslims and free-minded people.
The official website of Shaikh Abdol-Hamid published his Friday sermon of 1st Feb. 2019 where he said: “It’s the time of happiness as Taliban and people of Afghanistan could compel the occupying foreign troops to withdraw. No one is happy with occupation of his country and giving his fate to others.”
“The fate of Afghanistan should be in the hands of its own people. Afghans should sit together and decide about the future of their country independently,” he added more.
President of Darululoom Zahedan said: “After the collapse of the Soviet Union many countries tried to destabilize Afghanistan and make it insecure. All praise be to Allah that accepted prayers of His servants and made anti-occupying forces victorious who sacrificed for their country. We hope to see a developed and peaceful Afghanistan in future.”
A message to Taliban

He concluded his points by saying that a peaceful Afghanistan is in favor of all countries, especially the neighboring countries.
