The 40th Islamic Unity Conference will be held across three Iranian cities—Tehran, Qom, and Mashhad—according to an official announcement from the organizing committee. The event is expected to gather a large number of scholars, religious researchers, and intellectuals from numerous Islamic countries as well as international organizations.
The conference is held annually with the aim of strengthening unity among Islamic sects, fostering interfaith dialogue, and seeking solutions to the common challenges facing the global Muslim community. The conference program includes discussion sessions, keynote speeches, and thematic panel discussions at all three venues.
The selection of Tehran, Qom, and Mashhad—three of Iran's most important religious and cultural centers—underscores the scale and significance of the event. Qom is renowned for its theological seminaries, while Mashhad is home to the shrine of Imam Reza, one of the holiest sites in Shia Islam.
In addition to the official sessions, the organizers plan to hold side events that enable scholars to meet, share experiences, and build international academic collaboration networks. Details regarding the guest list and the specific schedule are expected to be released in the near future.
