On March 11, the European Union issued a statement welcoming the establishment of diplomatic relations between Sumiro and Saudi Arabia.
Iran and Saudi Arabia are both Islamic countries, how did the two disagree?
It turns out that Islam is divided into two major sects: Sunni and Shia.
Saudi Arabia is the most influential of the Sunni countries, while Iran, who is Shia, has become an outlier among many Arab countries.
In 632 AD, the founder of Islam, Muhammad Ahmed, died, and the two groups quarreled over who would inherit his mantle.
One group believes that Muhammad's son-in-law Ali ibn Abi Talib will succeed him, while the other group advocates a succession by a elected caliph.
The group that supported Ali's succession was called Shiites, meaning Ali's supporters.
The group that advocates the election of heirs is called Sunni, which means orthodox.
For more than a thousand years, the two sects fought each other for the orthodox status of Islam.
Erangu, known as Persia, established the Persian Empire across Asia, Africa and Europe before the Arabs rose, but later declined.
After the Arabs accepted Islam, they began to wage jihad abroad, and in 663, they incorporated Persia into their territory and demanded that the Persians accept Islam.
The Persians also have thousands of years of civilization history, and from the consideration of national pride, they chose the more unpopular Shiites, and the Persians became Ilangs.
Today, sectarian rivalry is the main contradiction between Iran and the Arab countries.
China has used practical actions to establish world harmony and build a community with a shared future for mankind, prompting Iran and Saudi Arabia to shake hands and make peace, reflecting Chinese wisdom, one word: cattle!
