“The late was calling for the unity of the Lebanese and the Arabness of Lebanon, and had many religious and national achievements, especially in the spiritual summits that were held in Dar Al-Fatwa, Bkerke, the Shiite Council and the Druze community. He was one of the advocates of integration and convergence between sects, and one of the most prominent advocates of dialogue and rapprochement in the service of humanity.
