Islamic Unity week

Islamic unity week (Persian: هفته وحدت اسلامی) is held annually by Muslims between the date Sunnis consider to be Muhammad's birthday and the date which Shia Muslims consider it to be.

The first record of the Islamic unity week dates back to the time when Seyyed Ali Khamenei was in Sistan and Baluchestan.

[1][2] After Iranian Revolution, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini proposed to name the interval between the two dates as Islamic unity week.

[4] Wahhabi clerics consider the celebration of the Muhammad's birthday inconsistent with Islam.

[6] Every year, the Islamic republic of Iran holds an international conference of Shia and Sunni scholars and other Muslim participants.
