- Students of the 6th Imam: When you look at the mixture of students, they were not all Shias. They came from all different backgrounds. The founders of the school of law for Sunnis were students of Imam Jaffer as-Sadiq (A.S)
- "When we talk about dialogue with others,the discourse and the language of discourse, should be based on civility and mutual respect."
- Even though his companions didn't believe in him like Shias do, they still respect his knowledge.
- Who is Ahl Zikr? Sura Talaaq, Ayat 10 and 11: Oh the people who believe and have intelligence, Allah has sent down a messenger who is also a Zikr for you. 
- The Prophet is Zikr and the Ahlul Bayt is Ahluz Zikr.
- How do we have a dialogue between Muslims?
- We cannot look at all others and say that they are all the same.
- We cannot deny that there are differences between Shia and Sunni. But how it is being discussed is the main issue.
- The Shia and Sunni are busy doing interfaith activities. But there is virtually no intrafaith activities. Promoting Intrafaith activities will slowly bring unity to Muslims, and prevent atrocious activities that are happenng around the world from occuring in North America. 
- Do not use foul language when you talk about others.
- A man came to the Mountains to see the 6th Imam. When the person was saying KhudaHafiz, he requested the Imam to give some advice that he can carry with him to himself with others. 
- "The very first thing is to be God-conscious of His pleasure and displeasure in your life. The second one is to be kind to your Muslim brother. Love for him what you love for yourself and dislike for him what you dislike for yourself. If he is asking for help, then help him. If he's shy in asking help from you, then offer help to him. Because he is from you, and you are from him."
- "Do not say that the Sunnis are your brothers in faith. Say that they are yourself." - Ayatullah Sistani.
