Due to importance of Salah, five-time prayers, in Islam, we ask you to help us in this regard,&#8221; Sunni PMs reiterated. <\/p>\n<p>In another part of their letter, Sunnis&#8217; representatives underlined that due to Article 115, Sunni dignitaries and intellectuals are deprived from candidacy in presidential elecions. &#8220;We want reformation of Article 15 by a committee under your supervision,&#8221; they stated.<\/p>\n<p>It is worthy to mention that Article 12 of the Iranian Constitution declares &#8220;Islam and Ja&#8217;fari jurisprudence&#8221; the official religion of the state, but other Islamic sects such as Hanafi, Shafe&#8217;i, Hanbali, Maleki and Zaidi are free in their educational and religious affairs.<\/p>\n<p>While Article 15 of the Constitution states that &#8220;Persian&#8221; is the official and national language of Iran.
