تهران، سالن اجلاس سران
بسماللهالرّحمنالرّحيم
و الحمد لله ربّ العالمين و الصّلاة و السّلام على سيّدنا محمّد المصطفى و ءاله الأطيبين و صحبه المنتجبين و من تبعهم باحسان الى يوم الدّين.
به شما ميهمانان عزيز خوشامد ميگويم و از خداوند عزيز و رحيم ميخواهم كه به اين تلاش جمعى بركت دهد و آن را گام مؤثرى در جهت بهروزى مسلمانان سازد. «انّه سميع مجيب«.
موضوع «بيدارى اسلامى» كه شما در اين اجلاس به آن خواهيد پرداخت، امروزه در صدر فهرست مسائل جهان اسلام و امت اسلامى است؛ پديدهى شگرفى است كه اگر باذن الله سالم بماند و ادامه يابد، قادر خواهد بود سربرآوردنِ تمدناسلامى را در چشماندازى نه چندان دوردست، براى امت اسلامى و آنگاه براى جهان بشريت رقم زند.
آنچه امروز در برابر چشم ما است و هيچ انسان مطّلع و هوشمندى نميتواند آن را انكار كند، آن است كه اكنون اسلام از حاشيهى معادلات اجتماعى و سياسى جهان خارج شده و در مركز عناصر تعيينكنندهى حوادث عالم، جايگاهى برجسته و نمايان يافته است و نگاه تازهاى را در عرصهى زندگى و سياست و حكومت و تحولات اجتماعى عرضه ميكند؛ و اين در دنياى كنونى كه پس از شكست كمونيزم و ليبراليزم، دچار خلأ عميق فكرى و نظرى است، پديدهاى مهم و پرمعنى به شمار ميرود. اين نخستين اثرى است كه حوادث سياسى و انقلابى در شمال آفريقا و منطقهى عربى، در مقياس جهانى بر جاى گذاشته است، و خود مبشّر حقايق بزرگترى است كه در آينده اتفاق خواهد افتاد.
بيدارى اسلامى كه سخنگويان جبههى استكبار و ارتجاع حتّى از به زبان آوردن نام آن نيز پرهيز ميكنند و ميترسند، حقيقتى است كه اكنون تقريباً در سراسر دنياى اسلام ميتوان نشانههاى آن را ديد. بارزترين نشانهى آن، اشتياق افكار عمومى و بويژه در قشرهاى جوان، به احياء مجد و عظمت اسلام و آگاه شدن آنان از ماهيت نظام سلطهى بينالمللى و آشكار شدن چهرهى وقيح و ستمگر و مستكبر دولتها و كانونهائى است كه بيش از دويست سال شرق اسلامى و غيراسلامى را در زير پنجههاى خونين خود فشرده و با نقاب تمدن و فرهنگ، هستى ملتها را دستخوش قدرتطلبىِ بيرحمانه و تجاوزگرانهى خود كردهاند.
ابعاد اين بيدارى مبارك بسى گسترده و داراى امتدادى رمزگونه است؛ ولى آنچه از دستاوردهاى نقد آن در چند كشور شمال آفريقا ديده شد، ميتواند دلها را به نتائج بزرگ و شگرف آينده به اطمينان برساند. همواره تحقق معجزگون وعدههاى الهى، نشانهى اميدبخشى است كه تحقق وعدههاى بزرگتر را نويد ميدهد. حكايت قرآن از دو وعدهاى كه خداوند به مادر موسى داد، نمونهاى از اين تاكتيك ربوبى است.
در آن هنگامهى دشوار كه فرمان به آب افكندن صندوق حامل نوزاد داده شد، خطاب الهى وعده فرمود كه: «انّا رادّوه اليك و جاعلوه من المرسلين».(1) تحقق وعدهى اول كه وعدهى كوچكتر و مايهى دلخوشى مادر بود، نشانهى تحقق وعدهى رسالت شد، كه بسى بزرگتر و البته مستلزم رنج و مجاهدت و صبر بلندمدت بود: «فرددناه الى امّه كى تقرّ عينها و لا تحزن و لتعلم انّ وعد الله حقّ».(2) اين وعدهى حق، همان رسالت بزرگ است كه پس از چند سال تحقق يافت و مسير تاريخ را تغيير داد.
نمونهى ديگر، يادآورى قدرت فائقهى الهى در سركوب مهاجمان به بيت شريف است، كه خداوند به وسيلهى پيامبر اعظم، براى تشويق مخاطبان، به امتثال امرِ: «فليعبدوا ربّ هذا البيت»(3) به كار ميبَرد و ميفرمايد: «أ لم يجعل كيدهم فى تضليل».(4)
يا براى تقويت روحى پيامبر محبوبش و باور وعدهى : «ما ودّعك ربّك و ما قلى»،(5) از يادآورى نعمت معجزگون : «أ لم يجدك يتيما فأوى. و وجدك ضالّا فهدى» بهره ميگيرد. و چنين نمونههائى در قرآن بسيار است.
آن روز كه اسلام در ايران پيروز شد و توانست دژ آمريكا و صهيونيزم را در يكى از حساسترين كشورهاى اين منطقهى بسيار حساس فتح كند، اهل عبرت و حكمت دانستند كه اگر صبر و بصيرت را به كار گيرند، فتوحات ديگر پىدرپى فرا خواهد رسيد؛ و فرا رسيد.
واقعيتهاى درخشان در جمهورى اسلامى كه دشمنان ما بدان اعتراف ميكنند، همه در سايهى اعتماد به وعدهى الهى و صبر و مقاومت و استمداد از خداوند به دست آمده است. مردم ما همواره در برابر وسوسهى ضعفائى كه در مقاطع اضطرابانگيز، نداى: «انّا لمدركون»(6) سر ميدادند، نهيب زدهاند كه : «كلاّ انّ معى ربّى سيهدين».(7)
امروز اين تجربهاى گرانبهاء در دسترس ملتهائى است كه در برابر استكبار و استبداد قد علم كرده و توانستهاند حكومتهاى فاسد و گوشبهفرمان و وابسته به آمريكا را سرنگون ساخته يا متزلزل كنند.
ايستادگى و صبر و بصر و اعتماد به وعدهى: «و لينصرنّ الله من ينصره انّ الله لقوىّ عزيز»(8) خواهد توانست اين مسير افتخار را تا رسيدن به قلهى تمدن اسلامى، در برابر امت اسلامى هموار كند.
اكنون در اين جلسهى مهم كه جمعى از علماى امت از كشورها و مذاهب گوناگون اسلامى در آن حضور يافتهاند، شايسته ميدانم به بيان چند نكتهى لازم در مسائل بيدارى اسلامى بپردازم:
اولين مطلب آن است كه نخستين امواج بيدارى در كشورهاى اين منطقه كه همزمان با آغاز ورود پيشقراولهاى استعمار آغاز شد، غالباً به وسيلهى علماى دين و مصلحان دينى پديد آمد. نام رهبران و شخصيتهاى برجسته چون سيدجمالالدين و محمد عبده و ميرزاى شيرازى و آخوند خراسانى و محمود الحسن و محمدعلى و شيخ فضلالله و حاج آقا نورالله و ابوالاعلى مودودى و دهها روحانى معروف بزرگ و مجاهد و متنفذ از كشورهاى ايران و مصر و هند و عراق در صفحات تاريخ براى هميشه ثبت و ضبط است.
در دوران معاصر هم نام درخشان «امام خمينى» عظيم چون ستارهى پرفروغى بر تارك انقلاب اسلامى ايران ميدرخشد. در اين ميان، صدها عالم معروف و هزاران عالم غيرمعروف نيز، امروز و ديروز، نقشآفرين حوادث اصلاحىِ بزرگ و كوچك در كشورهاى گوناگون بودهاند. فهرست مصلحان دينى از قشرهاى غيرروحانى همچون حسنالبناء و اقبال لاهورى نيز بلند و اعجابانگيز است.
روحانيان و رجال دينشناس كمابيش در همه جا مرجع فكرى و سنگ صبور روحى مردم بودهاند و هرجا كه در هنگامهى تحولات بزرگ، در نقش هدايتگر و پيشرو ظاهر شده و در پيشاپيش صفوف مردم در مواجهه با خطرات حركت كردهاند، پيوند فكرى ميان آنان و مردم افزايش يافته و انگشت اشارهى آنان در نشان دادن راه به مردم، اثرگذارتر بوده است. اين به همان اندازه كه براى نهضت بيدارى اسلامى داراى سود و بركت است، براى دشمنان امت و كينهورزان با اسلام و مخالفان حاكميت ارزشهاىاسلامى ، دغدغهآفرين و نامطلوب است و سعى ميكنند اين مرجعيت فكرى را از پايگاههاى دينى سلب كرده و قطبهاى جديدى براى آن بتراشند؛ كه به تجربه دريافتهاند كه با آنان ميتوان بر سر اصول و ارزشهاى ملى براحتى معامله كرد! چيزى كه در مورد عالمان باتقوا و رجال دينىِ متعهد هرگز اتفاق نخواهد افتاد.
اين، وظيفهى عالمان دين را سنگينتر ميكند. آنها بايد با هوشيارى و دقت فراوان، و با شناخت شيوهها و ترفندهاى فريبندهى دشمن، راه نفوذ را بكلى ببندند و فريب دشمن را ناكام كنند. نشستن بر سفرهى رنگين متاع دنيا، از بزرگترين آفتها است. آلوده شدن به صله و احسانِ صاحبان زر و زور و نمكگير شدن در برابر طاغوتهاى شهوت و قدرت، خطرناكترين عامل جدائى از مردم و از دست دادن اعتماد و صميميت آنها است. منيّت و قدرتطلبى كه سستعنصران را به گرايش به سوى قطبهاى قدرت فرا ميخواند، بستر آلودگى به فساد و انحراف است. اين آيهى قرآن را همواره بايد در گوش داشته باشند كه: «تلك الدّار الأخرة نجعلها للّذين لايريدون علوّا فى الأرض و لا فسادا و العاقبة للمتّقين».(9)
امروز در دوران حركتهاى اميدبخش بيدارى اسلامى، گاه صحنههائى ديده ميشود كه نمايشگر تلاش عملهى آمريكا و صهيونيسم براى تراشيدن مرجعيتهاى فكرىِ نامطمئن از يك سو، و تلاش قارونهاى شهوتران براى كشاندن اهل دين و تقوا بر سر بساط مسموم و آلودهى خود، از سوى ديگر است. علماى دين و رجال ديندار و دينمدار، بايد بشدت مراقب و دقيق باشند.
دومين نكته، لزوم ترسيم هدف بلندمدت براى بيدارى اسلامى در كشورهاى مسلمان است؛ نقطهى متعالى و والائى كه بيدارى ملتها را بايد سمت و سو دهد و آنان را به آن نقطه برساند. با شناسائى اين نقطه است كه ميتوان نقشهى راه را ترسيم كرد و هدفهاى ميانى و نزديك را در آن مشخص نمود.
اين هدف نهائى نميتواند چيزى كمتر از «ايجاد تمدن درخشان اسلامى» باشد. امت اسلامى با همهى ابعاض خود در قالب ملتها و كشورها، بايد به جايگاه تمدّنىِ مطلوب قرآن دست يابد. شاخصهى اصلى و عمومى اين تمدن، بهرهمندى انسانها از همهى ظرفيتهاى مادى و معنوىاى است كه خداوند براى تأمين سعادت و تعالى آنان، در عالم طبيعت و در وجود خود آنان تعبيه كرده است. آرايش ظاهرى اين تمدن را در حكومت مردمى، در قوانين برگرفته از قرآن، در اجتهاد و پاسخگوئى به نيازهاى نوبهنوى بشر، در پرهيز از تحجر و ارتجاع و نيز بدعت و التقاط، در ايجاد رفاه و ثروت عمومى، در استقرار عدالت، در خلاص شدن از اقتصاد مبتنى بر ويژهخوارى و ربا و تكاثر، در گسترش اخلاق انسانى، در دفاع از مظلومان عالم، و در تلاش و كار و ابتكار، ميتوان و بايد مشاهده كرد. نگاه اجتهادى و عالمانه به عرصههاى گوناگون، از علوم انسانى تا نظام تعليم و تربيت رسمى، و از اقتصاد و بانكدارى تا توليد فنى و فناورى، و از رسانههاى مدرن تا هنر و سينما، و تا روابط بينالملل و غيره و غيره، همه از لوازم اين تمدنسازى است.
تجربه نشان داده است كه اينها همه، كارهاى ممكن و در دسترس توانائيهاى جوامع ما است. نبايد با نگاه شتابزده يا بدبينانه به اين چشمانداز نگريست. بدبينى به توانائيهاىخود، كفران نعمت الهى است؛ و غفلت از امداد الهى و كمك سنتهاى آفرينش، فرو لغزيدن به ورطهى: «الظّانّين بالله ظنّ السّوء»(10) است. ما ميتوانيم حلقهى انحصارات علمى و اقتصادى و سياسىِ قدرتهاى سلطهگر را بشكنيم و امت اسلامى را پيشروِ احقاق حق اكثريت ملتهاى جهان كه اينك مقهور اقليت مستكبرند، باشيم.
تمدن اسلامى ميتواند با شاخصههاى ايمان و علم و اخلاق و مجاهدت مداوم، انديشهى پيشرفته و اخلاق والا را به امت اسلامى و به همهى بشريت هديه دهد و نقطهى رهائى از جهانبينى مادى و ظالمانه و اخلاقِ به لجن كشيدهاى كه اركان تمدن امروزىِ غربند، باشد.
مطلب سوم آن است كه در نهضتهاى بيدارى اسلامى بايد تجربهى تلخ و دهشتناك تبعيت از غرب در سياست و اخلاق و رفتار و سبك زندگى، مورد توجه دائم باشد. كشورهاى مسلمان در بيش از يك قرن تبعيت از فرهنگ و سياست دولتهاى مستكبر، به آفات مهلكى همچون وابستگى و ذلت سياسى، فلاكت و فقر اقتصادى، سقوط فضيلت و اخلاق، عقبماندگى خجلتآور علمى، دچار شدند؛ و اين در حالى بود كه امت اسلامى از سابقهاى افتخارانگيز در همهى اين عرصهها برخوردار بود.
اين سخن را نبايد به معنى دشمنى با غرب دانست. ما با هيچ گروهى از انسانها به خاطر تمايز جغرافيائى، دشمنى نداريم. ما از على (عليهالسّلام) آموختهايم كه در بارهى انسانها فرمود : «امّا اخ لك فى الدّين او نظير لك فى الخلق».(11) ادعانامهى ما، عليه ظلم و استكبار، و تحكّم و تجاوز، و فساد و انحطاط اخلاقى و عملى است كه از سوى قدرتهاىاستعمارى و استكبارى بر ملتهاى ما وارد شده است. هماكنون نيز تحكّمها و دخالتها و زورگوئيهاى آمريكا و برخى دنبالهروانش در منطقه را در كشورهائى كه نسيم بيدارى در آنها به طوفان قيام و انقلاب بدل شده است، مشاهده ميكنيم.
وعدهها و وعيدهاى آنان نبايد در تصميمها و اقدامهاى نخبگان سياسى و در حركت عظيم مردمى اثر بگذارد. در اينجا نيز بايد از تجربهها درس بياموزيم. آنها كه در طول ساليان به وعدههاى آمريكا دل خوش كرده و ركون به ظالم را مبناى مشى و سياست خود ساختند، نتوانستند گرهى از كار ملت خود بگشايند، يا ستمى را از خود يا ديگران برطرف كنند. آنها با تسليم در برابر آمريكا نتوانستند از ويرانىِ حتّى يك خانهى فلسطينى در سرزمينى كه متعلق به فلسطينيان است، جلوگيرى كنند. سياستمداران و نخبگانىكه فريفتهى تطميع يا مرعوب تهديد جبههى استكبار شوند و فرصت بزرگ بيدارى اسلامى را از دست دهند، بايد از اين تهديد الهى بيمناك باشند كه فرمود: «أ لم تر الى الّذين بدّلوا نعمت الله كفرا و احلّوا قومهم دار البوار. جهنّم يصلونها و بئس القرار».(12)
نكتهى چهارم آن است كه امروز يكى از خطرناكترين چيزهائى كه نهضت بيدارى اسلامى را تهديد ميكند، اختلافافكنى و تبديل اين نهضتها به معارضههاى خونين فرقهاى و مذهبى و قومى و ملّى است. اين توطئه هماكنون از سوى سرويسهاى جاسوسى غرب و صهيونيزم، با كمك دلارهاى نفتى و سياستمداران خودفروخته، از شرق آسيا تا شمال آفريقا و بويژه در منطقهىعربى ، با جد و اهتمام دنبال ميشود و پولى كه ميتوانست در خدمت بهروزى خلق خدا باشد، خرج تهديد و تكفير و ترور و بمبگذارى و ريختن خون مسلمانان و برافروختن آتش كينههاى درازمدت ميگردد. آنها كه قدرت يكپارچهى اسلامى را مانع هدفهاى خبيث خود ميدانند، دامنزدن به اختلافها در درون امت اسلامى را آسانترين راه براى مقصود شيطانى خود يافتهاند و تفاوتهاى نظرى در فقه و كلام و تاريخ و حديث را - كه طبيعى و اجتنابناپذير است - دستاويز تكفير و خونريزى و فتنه و فساد ساختهاند.
نگاه هوشمندانه به صحنهى درگيريهاى داخلى، دست دشمن را در پس اين فاجعهها بروشنى نشان ميدهد. اين دست غدّار، بىشك از جهلها و عصبيتها و سطحىنگرىها در ميان جوامع ما بهرهبردارى ميكند و بر روى آتش، بنزين ميريزد. وظيفهى مصلحان و نخبگان دينى و سياسى در اين ماجرا بسيار سنگين است.
اكنون ليبى به گونهاى، مصر و تونس به گونهاى، سوريه به گونهاى، پاكستان به گونهاى، و عراق و لبنان به گونهاى درگير يا در معرض اين شعلههاى خطرناكند. بايد بشدت مراقب و در پى علاج بود. سادهانديشى است كه اين همه را به عوامل و انگيزههاى عقيدتى و قومى نسبت دهيم. تبليغات غرب و رسانههاى منطقهاىِ وابسته و مزدور، جنگ ويرانگر در سوريه را نزاع شيعه و سنّى وانمود ميكنند و حاشيهى امنى براى صهيونيستها و دشمنان مقاومت در سوريه و لبنان پديد مىآورد. اين در حالى است كه دو طرف نزاع در سوريه، نه سنّى و شيعه، بلكه طرفداران مقاومت ضدصهيونيستى و مخالفان آنند. نه دولت سوريه يك دولت شيعى، و نه معارضهى سكولار و ضد اسلامِ آن يك گروه سنّىاند. تنها هنر گردانندگان اين سناريوى فاجعهآميز آن است كه توانستهاند از احساسات مذهبىِ سادهانديشان در اين آتشافروزى مهلك استفاده كنند. نگاه به صحنه و دستاندركاران سطوح مختلف آن، ميتواند مسئله را براى هر انسان منصفى روشن كند.
اين موج تبليغات در مورد بحرين نيز به گونهاى ديگر به دروغ و فريب سرگرم است. در بحرين، اكثريتى مظلوم كه سالهاى متمادى است از حق رأى و ديگر حقوق اساسىيك ملت، محرومند، به مطالبهى حق خود برخاستهاند. آيا چون اين اكثريتِ مظلوم شيعهاند و حكومت جبارِ سكولار، متظاهر به سنىگرى است، بايد اين را نزاع شيعه و سنّى دانست؟ استعمارگران اروپائى و آمريكائى و همپيالههاى آنان در منطقه البته ميخواهند چنين وانمود كنند، ولى آيا اين حقيقت است؟
اينها است كه علماى دين و مصلحان منصف را به تأمل و دقت و احساس مسئوليت فرا ميخواند و شناختن هدفهاى دشمنان در عمده كردن اختلافات مذهبى و قومى و حزبى را بر همه فرض ميسازد.
نكتهى پنجم آن است كه درستى مسير نهضتهاى بيدارى اسلامى را از جمله بايد در موضعگيرى آنان در قبال مسئلهى فلسطين جستجو كرد. از 60 سال پيش تاكنون داغىبزرگتر از غصب كشور فلسطين بر دل امت اسلامى نهاده نشده است. فاجعهى فلسطين از روز اوّل تاكنون، تركيبى از كشتار و ترور و ويرانگرى و غصب و تعرض به مقدسات اسلامى بوده است. وجوب ايستادگى و مبارزه در برابر اين دشمن حربى و غاصب، مورد اتفاق همهى مذاهب اسلامى و محلّ اجماع همهى جريانات صادق و سالمِ ملّى بوده است. هر جريانى در كشورهاى اسلامى كه اين وظيفهى دينى و ملى را به ملاحظهى خواست تحكّمآميز آمريكا يا به بهانهى توجيههاى غيرمنطقى، به دست فراموشى بسپارد، نبايد انتظار داشته باشد كه به چشم وفادارى به اسلام يا صداقت در ادعاى ميهندوستى به او نگريسته شود. اين يك محك است. هر كس شعار آزادى قدس شريف و نجات ملت فلسطين و سرزمين فلسطين را نپذيرد يا به حاشيه ببرد و به جبههى مقاومت پشت كند، متهم است. امت اسلامى بايد در همه جا و همه وقت، اين معيار و شاخصِ نمايان و اساسى را در مدنظر داشته باشد.
ميهمانان عزيز! برادران و خواهران!
كيد دشمن را هرگز از نظر دور مداريد. غفلت ما براى دشمنان ما فرصتآفرين است. درس على(عليهالسّلام) به ما اين است كه: «من نام لم ينم عنه».(13) تجربهى ما در جمهورى اسلامى در اين زمينه نيز عبرتآموز است. با پيروزى انقلاب اسلامى در ايران، دولتهاى مستكبر غربى و آمريكا كه مدتهاى مديد پيش از آن، طاغوتهاى ايرانى را در مشت خود گرفته و سرنوشت سياسى و اقتصادى و فرهنگى كشورمان را رقم ميزدند و نيروى پرقدرت ايمان اسلامى در درون جامعه را دستكم گرفته و از توان بسيج و هدايت اسلام و قرآن بىخبر مانده بودند، ناگهان به غفلت خود پى بردند و دستگاههاىحاكميتى و سرويسهاى اطلاعاتى و اتاقهاى فرمان آنان به كار افتادند تا شكست فاحش خود را جبران كنند.
انواع توطئهها و ترفندها را در اين سىوچند سال از آنان ديدهايم. چيزى كه مكر آنان را نقش بر آب كرده است، در اصل دو عامل اساسى است: ايستادگى بر سر اصول اسلامى، و حضور مردم در صحنه. اين دو عامل در همه جا كليد فتح و فرج است. عامل اوّل به وسيلهى ايمان صادقانه به وعدهى الهى، و عامل دوم به بركت تلاش مخلصانه و تبيين صادقانه تضمين ميشود. ملتى كه صدق و صميميت پيشوايان را باور كند، صحنه را از حضور پر بركت خود رونق ميبخشد؛ و هر جا كه ملت با عزم راسخ در صحنه بماند، هيچ قدرتى توان شكست دادن آن را نخواهد داشت. اين تجربهى موفقى براى همهى ملتهائى است كه با حضور خود بيدارى اسلامى را رقم زدند.
از خداوند متعال هدايت و دستگيرى و كمك و رحمتش را براى شما و همهى ملتهاى مسلمان مسئلت ميكنم.

تهران، سالن اجلاس سران
بسماللهالرّحمنالرّحيم
و الحمد لله ربّ العالمين و الصّلاة و السّلام على سيّدنا محمّد المصطفى و ءاله الأطيبين و صحبه المنتجبين و من تبعهم باحسان الى يوم الدّين.
به شما ميهمانان عزيز خوشامد ميگويم و از خداوند عزيز و رحيم ميخواهم كه به اين تلاش جمعى بركت دهد و آن را گام مؤثرى در جهت بهروزى مسلمانان سازد. «انّه سميع مجيب«.
موضوع «بيدارى اسلامى» كه شما در اين اجلاس به آن خواهيد پرداخت، امروزه در صدر فهرست مسائل جهان اسلام و امت اسلامى است؛ پديدهى شگرفى است كه اگر باذن الله سالم بماند و ادامه يابد، قادر خواهد بود سربرآوردنِ تمدناسلامى را در چشماندازى نه چندان دوردست، براى امت اسلامى و آنگاه براى جهان بشريت رقم زند.
آنچه امروز در برابر چشم ما است و هيچ انسان مطّلع و هوشمندى نميتواند آن را انكار كند، آن است كه اكنون اسلام از حاشيهى معادلات اجتماعى و سياسى جهان خارج شده و در مركز عناصر تعيينكنندهى حوادث عالم، جايگاهى برجسته و نمايان يافته است و نگاه تازهاى را در عرصهى زندگى و سياست و حكومت و تحولات اجتماعى عرضه ميكند؛ و اين در دنياى كنونى كه پس از شكست كمونيزم و ليبراليزم، دچار خلأ عميق فكرى و نظرى است، پديدهاى مهم و پرمعنى به شمار ميرود. اين نخستين اثرى است كه حوادث سياسى و انقلابى در شمال آفريقا و منطقهى عربى، در مقياس جهانى بر جاى گذاشته است، و خود مبشّر حقايق بزرگترى است كه در آينده اتفاق خواهد افتاد.
بيدارى اسلامى كه سخنگويان جبههى استكبار و ارتجاع حتّى از به زبان آوردن نام آن نيز پرهيز ميكنند و ميترسند، حقيقتى است كه اكنون تقريباً در سراسر دنياى اسلام ميتوان نشانههاى آن را ديد. بارزترين نشانهى آن، اشتياق افكار عمومى و بويژه در قشرهاى جوان، به احياء مجد و عظمت اسلام و آگاه شدن آنان از ماهيت نظام سلطهى بينالمللى و آشكار شدن چهرهى وقيح و ستمگر و مستكبر دولتها و كانونهائى است كه بيش از دويست سال شرق اسلامى و غيراسلامى را در زير پنجههاى خونين خود فشرده و با نقاب تمدن و فرهنگ، هستى ملتها را دستخوش قدرتطلبىِ بيرحمانه و تجاوزگرانهى خود كردهاند.
ابعاد اين بيدارى مبارك بسى گسترده و داراى امتدادى رمزگونه است؛ ولى آنچه از دستاوردهاى نقد آن در چند كشور شمال آفريقا ديده شد، ميتواند دلها را به نتائج بزرگ و شگرف آينده به اطمينان برساند. همواره تحقق معجزگون وعدههاى الهى، نشانهى اميدبخشى است كه تحقق وعدههاى بزرگتر را نويد ميدهد. حكايت قرآن از دو وعدهاى كه خداوند به مادر موسى داد، نمونهاى از اين تاكتيك ربوبى است.
در آن هنگامهى دشوار كه فرمان به آب افكندن صندوق حامل نوزاد داده شد، خطاب الهى وعده فرمود كه: «انّا رادّوه اليك و جاعلوه من المرسلين».(1) تحقق وعدهى اول كه وعدهى كوچكتر و مايهى دلخوشى مادر بود، نشانهى تحقق وعدهى رسالت شد، كه بسى بزرگتر و البته مستلزم رنج و مجاهدت و صبر بلندمدت بود: «فرددناه الى امّه كى تقرّ عينها و لا تحزن و لتعلم انّ وعد الله حقّ».(2) اين وعدهى حق، همان رسالت بزرگ است كه پس از چند سال تحقق يافت و مسير تاريخ را تغيير داد.
نمونهى ديگر، يادآورى قدرت فائقهى الهى در سركوب مهاجمان به بيت شريف است، كه خداوند به وسيلهى پيامبر اعظم، براى تشويق مخاطبان، به امتثال امرِ: «فليعبدوا ربّ هذا البيت»(3) به كار ميبَرد و ميفرمايد: «أ لم يجعل كيدهم فى تضليل».(4)
يا براى تقويت روحى پيامبر محبوبش و باور وعدهى : «ما ودّعك ربّك و ما قلى»،(5) از يادآورى نعمت معجزگون : «أ لم يجدك يتيما فأوى. و وجدك ضالّا فهدى» بهره ميگيرد. و چنين نمونههائى در قرآن بسيار است.
آن روز كه اسلام در ايران پيروز شد و توانست دژ آمريكا و صهيونيزم را در يكى از حساسترين كشورهاى اين منطقهى بسيار حساس فتح كند، اهل عبرت و حكمت دانستند كه اگر صبر و بصيرت را به كار گيرند، فتوحات ديگر پىدرپى فرا خواهد رسيد؛ و فرا رسيد.
واقعيتهاى درخشان در جمهورى اسلامى كه دشمنان ما بدان اعتراف ميكنند، همه در سايهى اعتماد به وعدهى الهى و صبر و مقاومت و استمداد از خداوند به دست آمده است. مردم ما همواره در برابر وسوسهى ضعفائى كه در مقاطع اضطرابانگيز، نداى: «انّا لمدركون»(6) سر ميدادند، نهيب زدهاند كه : «كلاّ انّ معى ربّى سيهدين».(7)
امروز اين تجربهاى گرانبهاء در دسترس ملتهائى است كه در برابر استكبار و استبداد قد علم كرده و توانستهاند حكومتهاى فاسد و گوشبهفرمان و وابسته به آمريكا را سرنگون ساخته يا متزلزل كنند.
ايستادگى و صبر و بصر و اعتماد به وعدهى: «و لينصرنّ الله من ينصره انّ الله لقوىّ عزيز»(8) خواهد توانست اين مسير افتخار را تا رسيدن به قلهى تمدن اسلامى، در برابر امت اسلامى هموار كند.
اكنون در اين جلسهى مهم كه جمعى از علماى امت از كشورها و مذاهب گوناگون اسلامى در آن حضور يافتهاند، شايسته ميدانم به بيان چند نكتهى لازم در مسائل بيدارى اسلامى بپردازم:
اولين مطلب آن است كه نخستين امواج بيدارى در كشورهاى اين منطقه كه همزمان با آغاز ورود پيشقراولهاى استعمار آغاز شد، غالباً به وسيلهى علماى دين و مصلحان دينى پديد آمد. نام رهبران و شخصيتهاى برجسته چون سيدجمالالدين و محمد عبده و ميرزاى شيرازى و آخوند خراسانى و محمود الحسن و محمدعلى و شيخ فضلالله و حاج آقا نورالله و ابوالاعلى مودودى و دهها روحانى معروف بزرگ و مجاهد و متنفذ از كشورهاى ايران و مصر و هند و عراق در صفحات تاريخ براى هميشه ثبت و ضبط است.
در دوران معاصر هم نام درخشان «امام خمينى» عظيم چون ستارهى پرفروغى بر تارك انقلاب اسلامى ايران ميدرخشد. در اين ميان، صدها عالم معروف و هزاران عالم غيرمعروف نيز، امروز و ديروز، نقشآفرين حوادث اصلاحىِ بزرگ و كوچك در كشورهاى گوناگون بودهاند. فهرست مصلحان دينى از قشرهاى غيرروحانى همچون حسنالبناء و اقبال لاهورى نيز بلند و اعجابانگيز است.
روحانيان و رجال دينشناس كمابيش در همه جا مرجع فكرى و سنگ صبور روحى مردم بودهاند و هرجا كه در هنگامهى تحولات بزرگ، در نقش هدايتگر و پيشرو ظاهر شده و در پيشاپيش صفوف مردم در مواجهه با خطرات حركت كردهاند، پيوند فكرى ميان آنان و مردم افزايش يافته و انگشت اشارهى آنان در نشان دادن راه به مردم، اثرگذارتر بوده است. اين به همان اندازه كه براى نهضت بيدارى اسلامى داراى سود و بركت است، براى دشمنان امت و كينهورزان با اسلام و مخالفان حاكميت ارزشهاىاسلامى ، دغدغهآفرين و نامطلوب است و سعى ميكنند اين مرجعيت فكرى را از پايگاههاى دينى سلب كرده و قطبهاى جديدى براى آن بتراشند؛ كه به تجربه دريافتهاند كه با آنان ميتوان بر سر اصول و ارزشهاى ملى براحتى معامله كرد! چيزى كه در مورد عالمان باتقوا و رجال دينىِ متعهد هرگز اتفاق نخواهد افتاد.
اين، وظيفهى عالمان دين را سنگينتر ميكند. آنها بايد با هوشيارى و دقت فراوان، و با شناخت شيوهها و ترفندهاى فريبندهى دشمن، راه نفوذ را بكلى ببندند و فريب دشمن را ناكام كنند. نشستن بر سفرهى رنگين متاع دنيا، از بزرگترين آفتها است. آلوده شدن به صله و احسانِ صاحبان زر و زور و نمكگير شدن در برابر طاغوتهاى شهوت و قدرت، خطرناكترين عامل جدائى از مردم و از دست دادن اعتماد و صميميت آنها است. منيّت و قدرتطلبى كه سستعنصران را به گرايش به سوى قطبهاى قدرت فرا ميخواند، بستر آلودگى به فساد و انحراف است. اين آيهى قرآن را همواره بايد در گوش داشته باشند كه: «تلك الدّار الأخرة نجعلها للّذين لايريدون علوّا فى الأرض و لا فسادا و العاقبة للمتّقين».(9)
امروز در دوران حركتهاى اميدبخش بيدارى اسلامى، گاه صحنههائى ديده ميشود كه نمايشگر تلاش عملهى آمريكا و صهيونيسم براى تراشيدن مرجعيتهاى فكرىِ نامطمئن از يك سو، و تلاش قارونهاى شهوتران براى كشاندن اهل دين و تقوا بر سر بساط مسموم و آلودهى خود، از سوى ديگر است. علماى دين و رجال ديندار و دينمدار، بايد بشدت مراقب و دقيق باشند.
دومين نكته، لزوم ترسيم هدف بلندمدت براى بيدارى اسلامى در كشورهاى مسلمان است؛ نقطهى متعالى و والائى كه بيدارى ملتها را بايد سمت و سو دهد و آنان را به آن نقطه برساند. با شناسائى اين نقطه است كه ميتوان نقشهى راه را ترسيم كرد و هدفهاى ميانى و نزديك را در آن مشخص نمود.
اين هدف نهائى نميتواند چيزى كمتر از «ايجاد تمدن درخشان اسلامى» باشد. امت اسلامى با همهى ابعاض خود در قالب ملتها و كشورها، بايد به جايگاه تمدّنىِ مطلوب قرآن دست يابد. شاخصهى اصلى و عمومى اين تمدن، بهرهمندى انسانها از همهى ظرفيتهاى مادى و معنوىاى است كه خداوند براى تأمين سعادت و تعالى آنان، در عالم طبيعت و در وجود خود آنان تعبيه كرده است. آرايش ظاهرى اين تمدن را در حكومت مردمى، در قوانين برگرفته از قرآن، در اجتهاد و پاسخگوئى به نيازهاى نوبهنوى بشر، در پرهيز از تحجر و ارتجاع و نيز بدعت و التقاط، در ايجاد رفاه و ثروت عمومى، در استقرار عدالت، در خلاص شدن از اقتصاد مبتنى بر ويژهخوارى و ربا و تكاثر، در گسترش اخلاق انسانى، در دفاع از مظلومان عالم، و در تلاش و كار و ابتكار، ميتوان و بايد مشاهده كرد. نگاه اجتهادى و عالمانه به عرصههاى گوناگون، از علوم انسانى تا نظام تعليم و تربيت رسمى، و از اقتصاد و بانكدارى تا توليد فنى و فناورى، و از رسانههاى مدرن تا هنر و سينما، و تا روابط بينالملل و غيره و غيره، همه از لوازم اين تمدنسازى است.
تجربه نشان داده است كه اينها همه، كارهاى ممكن و در دسترس توانائيهاى جوامع ما است. نبايد با نگاه شتابزده يا بدبينانه به اين چشمانداز نگريست. بدبينى به توانائيهاىخود، كفران نعمت الهى است؛ و غفلت از امداد الهى و كمك سنتهاى آفرينش، فرو لغزيدن به ورطهى: «الظّانّين بالله ظنّ السّوء»(10) است. ما ميتوانيم حلقهى انحصارات علمى و اقتصادى و سياسىِ قدرتهاى سلطهگر را بشكنيم و امت اسلامى را پيشروِ احقاق حق اكثريت ملتهاى جهان كه اينك مقهور اقليت مستكبرند، باشيم.
تمدن اسلامى ميتواند با شاخصههاى ايمان و علم و اخلاق و مجاهدت مداوم، انديشهى پيشرفته و اخلاق والا را به امت اسلامى و به همهى بشريت هديه دهد و نقطهى رهائى از جهانبينى مادى و ظالمانه و اخلاقِ به لجن كشيدهاى كه اركان تمدن امروزىِ غربند، باشد.
مطلب سوم آن است كه در نهضتهاى بيدارى اسلامى بايد تجربهى تلخ و دهشتناك تبعيت از غرب در سياست و اخلاق و رفتار و سبك زندگى، مورد توجه دائم باشد. كشورهاى مسلمان در بيش از يك قرن تبعيت از فرهنگ و سياست دولتهاى مستكبر، به آفات مهلكى همچون وابستگى و ذلت سياسى، فلاكت و فقر اقتصادى، سقوط فضيلت و اخلاق، عقبماندگى خجلتآور علمى، دچار شدند؛ و اين در حالى بود كه امت اسلامى از سابقهاى افتخارانگيز در همهى اين عرصهها برخوردار بود.
اين سخن را نبايد به معنى دشمنى با غرب دانست. ما با هيچ گروهى از انسانها به خاطر تمايز جغرافيائى، دشمنى نداريم. ما از على (عليهالسّلام) آموختهايم كه در بارهى انسانها فرمود : «امّا اخ لك فى الدّين او نظير لك فى الخلق».(11) ادعانامهى ما، عليه ظلم و استكبار، و تحكّم و تجاوز، و فساد و انحطاط اخلاقى و عملى است كه از سوى قدرتهاىاستعمارى و استكبارى بر ملتهاى ما وارد شده است. هماكنون نيز تحكّمها و دخالتها و زورگوئيهاى آمريكا و برخى دنبالهروانش در منطقه را در كشورهائى كه نسيم بيدارى در آنها به طوفان قيام و انقلاب بدل شده است، مشاهده ميكنيم.
وعدهها و وعيدهاى آنان نبايد در تصميمها و اقدامهاى نخبگان سياسى و در حركت عظيم مردمى اثر بگذارد. در اينجا نيز بايد از تجربهها درس بياموزيم. آنها كه در طول ساليان به وعدههاى آمريكا دل خوش كرده و ركون به ظالم را مبناى مشى و سياست خود ساختند، نتوانستند گرهى از كار ملت خود بگشايند، يا ستمى را از خود يا ديگران برطرف كنند. آنها با تسليم در برابر آمريكا نتوانستند از ويرانىِ حتّى يك خانهى فلسطينى در سرزمينى كه متعلق به فلسطينيان است، جلوگيرى كنند. سياستمداران و نخبگانىكه فريفتهى تطميع يا مرعوب تهديد جبههى استكبار شوند و فرصت بزرگ بيدارى اسلامى را از دست دهند، بايد از اين تهديد الهى بيمناك باشند كه فرمود: «أ لم تر الى الّذين بدّلوا نعمت الله كفرا و احلّوا قومهم دار البوار. جهنّم يصلونها و بئس القرار».(12)
نكتهى چهارم آن است كه امروز يكى از خطرناكترين چيزهائى كه نهضت بيدارى اسلامى را تهديد ميكند، اختلافافكنى و تبديل اين نهضتها به معارضههاى خونين فرقهاى و مذهبى و قومى و ملّى است. اين توطئه هماكنون از سوى سرويسهاى جاسوسى غرب و صهيونيزم، با كمك دلارهاى نفتى و سياستمداران خودفروخته، از شرق آسيا تا شمال آفريقا و بويژه در منطقهىعربى ، با جد و اهتمام دنبال ميشود و پولى كه ميتوانست در خدمت بهروزى خلق خدا باشد، خرج تهديد و تكفير و ترور و بمبگذارى و ريختن خون مسلمانان و برافروختن آتش كينههاى درازمدت ميگردد. آنها كه قدرت يكپارچهى اسلامى را مانع هدفهاى خبيث خود ميدانند، دامنزدن به اختلافها در درون امت اسلامى را آسانترين راه براى مقصود شيطانى خود يافتهاند و تفاوتهاى نظرى در فقه و كلام و تاريخ و حديث را - كه طبيعى و اجتنابناپذير است - دستاويز تكفير و خونريزى و فتنه و فساد ساختهاند.
نگاه هوشمندانه به صحنهى درگيريهاى داخلى، دست دشمن را در پس اين فاجعهها بروشنى نشان ميدهد. اين دست غدّار، بىشك از جهلها و عصبيتها و سطحىنگرىها در ميان جوامع ما بهرهبردارى ميكند و بر روى آتش، بنزين ميريزد. وظيفهى مصلحان و نخبگان دينى و سياسى در اين ماجرا بسيار سنگين است.
اكنون ليبى به گونهاى، مصر و تونس به گونهاى، سوريه به گونهاى، پاكستان به گونهاى، و عراق و لبنان به گونهاى درگير يا در معرض اين شعلههاى خطرناكند. بايد بشدت مراقب و در پى علاج بود. سادهانديشى است كه اين همه را به عوامل و انگيزههاى عقيدتى و قومى نسبت دهيم. تبليغات غرب و رسانههاى منطقهاىِ وابسته و مزدور، جنگ ويرانگر در سوريه را نزاع شيعه و سنّى وانمود ميكنند و حاشيهى امنى براى صهيونيستها و دشمنان مقاومت در سوريه و لبنان پديد مىآورد. اين در حالى است كه دو طرف نزاع در سوريه، نه سنّى و شيعه، بلكه طرفداران مقاومت ضدصهيونيستى و مخالفان آنند. نه دولت سوريه يك دولت شيعى، و نه معارضهى سكولار و ضد اسلامِ آن يك گروه سنّىاند. تنها هنر گردانندگان اين سناريوى فاجعهآميز آن است كه توانستهاند از احساسات مذهبىِ سادهانديشان در اين آتشافروزى مهلك استفاده كنند. نگاه به صحنه و دستاندركاران سطوح مختلف آن، ميتواند مسئله را براى هر انسان منصفى روشن كند.
اين موج تبليغات در مورد بحرين نيز به گونهاى ديگر به دروغ و فريب سرگرم است. در بحرين، اكثريتى مظلوم كه سالهاى متمادى است از حق رأى و ديگر حقوق اساسىيك ملت، محرومند، به مطالبهى حق خود برخاستهاند. آيا چون اين اكثريتِ مظلوم شيعهاند و حكومت جبارِ سكولار، متظاهر به سنىگرى است، بايد اين را نزاع شيعه و سنّى دانست؟ استعمارگران اروپائى و آمريكائى و همپيالههاى آنان در منطقه البته ميخواهند چنين وانمود كنند، ولى آيا اين حقيقت است؟
اينها است كه علماى دين و مصلحان منصف را به تأمل و دقت و احساس مسئوليت فرا ميخواند و شناختن هدفهاى دشمنان در عمده كردن اختلافات مذهبى و قومى و حزبى را بر همه فرض ميسازد.
نكتهى پنجم آن است كه درستى مسير نهضتهاى بيدارى اسلامى را از جمله بايد در موضعگيرى آنان در قبال مسئلهى فلسطين جستجو كرد. از 60 سال پيش تاكنون داغىبزرگتر از غصب كشور فلسطين بر دل امت اسلامى نهاده نشده است. فاجعهى فلسطين از روز اوّل تاكنون، تركيبى از كشتار و ترور و ويرانگرى و غصب و تعرض به مقدسات اسلامى بوده است. وجوب ايستادگى و مبارزه در برابر اين دشمن حربى و غاصب، مورد اتفاق همهى مذاهب اسلامى و محلّ اجماع همهى جريانات صادق و سالمِ ملّى بوده است. هر جريانى در كشورهاى اسلامى كه اين وظيفهى دينى و ملى را به ملاحظهى خواست تحكّمآميز آمريكا يا به بهانهى توجيههاى غيرمنطقى، به دست فراموشى بسپارد، نبايد انتظار داشته باشد كه به چشم وفادارى به اسلام يا صداقت در ادعاى ميهندوستى به او نگريسته شود. اين يك محك است. هر كس شعار آزادى قدس شريف و نجات ملت فلسطين و سرزمين فلسطين را نپذيرد يا به حاشيه ببرد و به جبههى مقاومت پشت كند، متهم است. امت اسلامى بايد در همه جا و همه وقت، اين معيار و شاخصِ نمايان و اساسى را در مدنظر داشته باشد.
ميهمانان عزيز! برادران و خواهران!
كيد دشمن را هرگز از نظر دور مداريد. غفلت ما براى دشمنان ما فرصتآفرين است. درس على(عليهالسّلام) به ما اين است كه: «من نام لم ينم عنه».(13) تجربهى ما در جمهورى اسلامى در اين زمينه نيز عبرتآموز است. با پيروزى انقلاب اسلامى در ايران، دولتهاى مستكبر غربى و آمريكا كه مدتهاى مديد پيش از آن، طاغوتهاى ايرانى را در مشت خود گرفته و سرنوشت سياسى و اقتصادى و فرهنگى كشورمان را رقم ميزدند و نيروى پرقدرت ايمان اسلامى در درون جامعه را دستكم گرفته و از توان بسيج و هدايت اسلام و قرآن بىخبر مانده بودند، ناگهان به غفلت خود پى بردند و دستگاههاىحاكميتى و سرويسهاى اطلاعاتى و اتاقهاى فرمان آنان به كار افتادند تا شكست فاحش خود را جبران كنند.
انواع توطئهها و ترفندها را در اين سىوچند سال از آنان ديدهايم. چيزى كه مكر آنان را نقش بر آب كرده است، در اصل دو عامل اساسى است: ايستادگى بر سر اصول اسلامى، و حضور مردم در صحنه. اين دو عامل در همه جا كليد فتح و فرج است. عامل اوّل به وسيلهى ايمان صادقانه به وعدهى الهى، و عامل دوم به بركت تلاش مخلصانه و تبيين صادقانه تضمين ميشود. ملتى كه صدق و صميميت پيشوايان را باور كند، صحنه را از حضور پر بركت خود رونق ميبخشد؛ و هر جا كه ملت با عزم راسخ در صحنه بماند، هيچ قدرتى توان شكست دادن آن را نخواهد داشت. اين تجربهى موفقى براى همهى ملتهائى است كه با حضور خود بيدارى اسلامى را رقم زدند.
از خداوند متعال هدايت و دستگيرى و كمك و رحمتش را براى شما و همهى ملتهاى مسلمان مسئلت ميكنم.
والسّلام عليكم و رحمةالله و بركاته

كلمة قائد الثورة الاسلامية الإمام الخامنئي في المؤتمر العالمي لعلماء الدين و الصحوة الإسلامية
29/04/2013
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
و الحمد لله رب العالمين، و الصلاة و السلام على سيدنا محمد المصطفى، و آله الأطيبين و صحبه المنتجبين، و من تبعهم بإحسان إلى يوم الدين.
أرحب بكم أيها الضيوف الأعزاء، و أسأل الله العزيز الرحيم أن يبارك في هذا الجهد الجماعي، و أن يجعله شوطاً فاعلاً على طريق حياة أفضل للمسلمين إنه سميع مجيب.
موضوع الصحوة الإسلامية الذي ستتناولونه في هذا المؤتمر هو اليوم في رأس قائمة قضايا العالم الإسلامي و الأمة الإسلامية.. إنه ظاهرة عظيمة لو بقيت سليمة و تواصلت بإذن الله لاستطاعت أن تقيم الحضارة الإسلامية في أفق ليس ببعيد للعالم الإسلامي و من ثَمّ للبشرية جمعاء.
إنّ البارز أمام أعيننا اليوم، و لا يستطيع أي إنسان مطّلع و ذي بصيرة أن ينكره هو أن الإسلام اليوم قد خرج من هامش المعادلات الاجتماعية و السياسية في العالم، و اتخذ مكانة بارزة و ماثلة في مركز العناصر الفاعلة لحوادث العالم، ليقدم رؤية جديدة على ساحة الحياة و السياسة و الحكم و التطورات الاجتماعية. و يشكل ذلك، في عالمنا المعاصر الذي يعاني بعد هزيمة الشيوعية و الليبرالية من فراغ فكري و نظري عميق، ظاهرةً ذات مغزى و أهمية بالغة.
و هذا أول أثر تركته الحوادث السياسية و الثورية في شمال أفريقيا و المنطقة العربية على الصعيد العالمي، و يبشّر بدوره ببروز حقائق أكبر في المستقبل.
إنّ الصحوة الإسلامية التي يتجنب ذكرها المتحدثون باسم جبهة الاستكبار و الرجعية، بل يخافون أن يجري اسمها على ألسنتهم، هي حقيقة نرى معالمها اليوم في أرجاء العالم الإسلامي كافة. و أبرز معالمها تطلع الرأي العام و خاصة فئة الشباب إلى إحياء مجد الإسلام و عظمته، و وعيهم لحقيقة نظام الهيمنة العالمية، و انكشاف الوجه الخبيث و الظالم و المستكبر لحكومات و دوائر أنشبت أظفارها الدامية لأكثر من قرنين في المشرق الإسلامي و غير الإسلامي، و جعلت مقدرات الشعوب عرضة لنزعتها الشرسة و العدوانية نحو الهيمنة، و ذلك بنقاب المدنية و الحضارة.
أبعاد هذه الصحوة المباركة واسعة غاية السعة و ذات امتداد رمزي، و لكن ما حققته من حاضر العطاء في بعض بلدان شمال أفريقيا من شأنه أن يجعل القلوب واثقة بمعطيات مستقبلية كبرى و هائلة. إن تحقق معاجز الوعود الإلهية يحمل دائماً معه دلالات أمل يبشّر بتحقق وعود أكبر. و ما يحكيه القرآن الكريم عن الوعدين الإلهيين لأمّ موسى هو نموذج من هذه السنة الربانية.
إذ في تلك اللحظات العسيرة، حيث صدر الأمر بإلقاء الصندوق حامل الرضيع في اليمّ، جاء الخطاب الإلهي بالوعد: (إِنَّا رَادُّوهُ إِلَيْكِ وَ جَاعِلُوهُ مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ). (1) إن تحقق الوعد الأول، و هو الوعد الأصغر الذي شدّ على قلب الأم، أصبح منطلقاً لتحقق وعد الرسالة، و هو أكبر بكثير، و يستلزم طبعاً تحمّل المشاق و المجاهدة و الصبر الطويل: (فَرَدَدْنَاهُ إِلَى أُمِّهِ كَيْ تَقَرَّ عَيْنُهَا وَ لَا تَحْزَنَ وَ لِتَعْلَمَ أَنَّ وَعْدَ اللهِ حَقٌّ...). (2) هذا الوعد الحقّ هو تلك الرسالة الكبرى التي تحققت بعد سنين و غيّرت مسيرة التاريخ.
و من النماذج الأخرى التذكير بالقدرة الإلهية الفائقة في قمع المهاجمين للكعبة، و الذي ورد في القرآن بلسان الرسول الأعظم (ألم يجعل كيدهم في تضليل) (3) و ذلك لتشجيع المخاطبين علی امتثال الأمر الالهي: (فليعبدوا رب هذا البيت). (4)
و في موضع آخر يذكّر سبحانه رسوله بما أغدقه عليه من نعم تشبه المعجزة: (أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَآوَى، وَ وَجَدَكَ ضَالًّا فَهَدَى)، ليكون ذلك وسيلة لتقوية معنويات نبيّه الحبيب و إيمانه بالوعد الإلهي في قوله: (مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَ مَا قَلَى)، (5) و مثل هذه الأمثلة كثيرة في القرآن الكريم.
حين انتصر الإسلام في إيران، و استطاع أن يفتح قلاع أمريكا و الصهيونية في أحد أكثر البلدان حساسية من هذه المنطقة المهمة بامتياز، عَلِم أهل العبرة و الحكمة أنهم إذا انتهجوا طریق الصبر و البصيرة فإن فتوحات أخرى ستتعاقب علیهم، و قد تعاقبت فعلاً.
الحقائق الساطعة في الجمهورية الإسلامية و التي يعترف بها الأعداء قد تحققت بأجمعها في ظل الثقة بالوعد الإلهي و الصبر و المقاومة و الاستمداد من ربّ العالمين. شعبنا كان يرفع دائماً صوته بالقول: (كَلَّا إِنَّ مَعِيَ رَبِّي سَيَهْدِينِ)، (6) أمام وساوس الضعفاء الذين كانوا يردّدون في الفترات الحرجة: (إِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُونَ). (7)
هذه التجربة الثمینة هي اليوم في متناول الشعوب التي نهضت بوجه الاستكبار و الاستبداد، و استطاعت أن تسقط أو تزلزل عروش الحكومات الفاسدة الخاضعة و التابعة لأمريكا. الثبات و الصبر و البصيرة و الثقة بالوعد الإلهي في قوله سبحانه: (وَ لَيَنصُرَنَّ اللهُ مَن يَنصُرُهُ إِنَّ اللهَ لَقَوِيٌّ عَزِيزٌ)، (8) بإمكانها أن تمهّد طريق العزّ هذا أمام الأمة الإسلامية حتى تصل إلى قمة الحضارة الإسلامية.
إنني في هذا الاجتماع الهام لعلماء الأمة بمختلف أقطارهم و مذاهبهم أرى من المناسب أن أبيّن عدة نقاط ضرورية حول قضايا الصحوة الإسلامية:
الأولى: إن الأمواج الأولى للصحوة في بلدان هذه المنطقة، و التي اقترنت ببدايات دخول الغزو الاستعماري، قد انطلقت غالباً على يد علماء الدين و المصلحين الدينيين. لقد خلدت صفحات التاريخ و للأبد أسماء قادة و شخصيات بارزة من أمثال السيد جمال الدين الأسد آبادي، و محمد عبده، و الميرزا الشيرازي، و الآخوند الخراساني، و محمود الحسن، و محمد علي، و الشيخ فضل الله النوري، و الحاج آقا نور الله، و أبي الأعلى المودودي، و عشرات من كبار علماء الدين المعروفين و المجاهدين و المتنفذين من إيران و مصر و الهند و العراق. و يبرز في عصرنا الراهن اسم الإمام الخميني العظيم مثل كوكب ساطع على جبين الثورة الإسلامية في إيران. و كان لمئات العلماء المعروفين و آلاف العلماء غير المعروفين في الحاضر و الماضي دور في المشاريع الإصلاحية الكبيرة و الصغيرة على ساحة مختلف البلدان. و قائمة المصلحين الدينيين من غير علماء الدين كحسن البنا و إقبال اللاهوري هي طويلة أيضاً و مثيرة للإعجاب.
و قد كانت المرجعيّة الفكريّة لعلماء الدين و رجال الفكر الديني بدرجة و أخرى، و في كل مكان. لقد كانوا سنداً روحياً قوياً للجماهير، و حيثما قامت قيامة التحولات الكبرى ظهروا في دور المرشد و الهادي، و تقدموا لمواجهة الخطر في مقدمة صفوف الحراك الشعبي، و ازداد الارتباط الفكري بينهم و بين الناس، و ازداد معه تأثيرهم في دفع الناس نحو الطريق الصحيح. و هذا له من الفائدة و البركة لنهضة الصحوة الإسلامية بمقدار ما يجرّ على أعداء الأمة و الحاقدين على الإسلام و المعارضين لسيادة القيم الإسلامية من انزعاج و امتعاض ما يدفعهم إلى محاولة إلغاء هذه المرجعية الفكرية للمؤسسات الدينية و استحداث أقطاب جديدة عرفوا بالتجربة أنها يمكن المساومة معها بسهولة على حساب المبادئ و القيم الدينية. و هذا ما لا يحدث إطلاقاً مع العلماء الأتقياء و رجال الدين الملتزمين.
إن هذا يضاعف ثقل مسؤولية علماء الدين. فعليهم أن يسدّوا الطريق أمام الاختراق بفطنة و دقة متناهية و بمعرفة أساليب العدوّ الخادعة و حيله، و أن يحبطوا مكائده. إن الانشداد للموائد الملوّنة بمتاع الدنيا من أكبر الآفات. و التلوث بهبات أصحاب المال و السلطة و عطاياهم، و الارتباط المادي بطواغيت الشهوة و القوة من أخطر عوامل الانفصال عن الناس و التفريط بثقتهم و محبتهم. الأنانية و حبّ الجاه الذي يجرّ الضعفاء إلى أقطاب القوة يشكّلان أرضية خصبة للتلوث بالفساد و الانحراف. لا بدّ أن نضع نصب أعيننا قوله سبحانه: (تِلْكَ الدَّارُ الْآخِرَةُ نَجْعَلُهَا لِلَّذِينَ لَا يُرِيدُونَ عُلُوًّا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ لَا فَسَادًا وَ الْعَاقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ). (9)
إننا اليوم، في عصر حراك الصحوة الإسلامية و ما تبعثه في النفوس من أمل، نشاهد أحيانًا مساعي خدم أمريكا و الصهيونية لاصطناع مرجعيات فكرية مشبوهة من ناحية، و مساعي الغارقين في المال و مستنقع الشهوات لجرّ أهل الدين و التقوى إلى موائدهم المسمومة الملوثة من ناحية أخرى.
فعلى علماء الدين و الرجال المتدينين و المحافظين على الدين أن يراقبوا هذه الأمور بشدة و دقّة.
المسألة الثانية، ضرورة رسم هدف بعيد المدى للصحوة الإسلامية في البلدان المسلمة يوضع أمام الجماهير ليكون البوصلة في حركتها للوصول إليه. و بمعرفة هذا الهدف يمكن رسم خريطة الطريق و تحديد الأهداف القريبة و المتوسطة. هذا الهدف النهائي لا يمكن أن يكون أقل من إقامة «الحضارة الإسلامية المجيدة». الأمة الإسلامية، بكل أجزائها في إطار الشعوب و البلدان، يجب أن تعتلي مكانتها الحضارية التي يدعو إليها القرآن الكريم.
إن من الخصائص الأصلية و العامة لهذه الحضارة استثمار أبناء البشر لجميع ما أودعه الله في عالم الطبيعة و في وجودهم من مواهب و طاقات مادية و معنوية لتحقيق سعادتهم و سموّهم. و يمكن، بل و ينبغي مشاهدة مظاهر هذه الحضارة في إقامة حكومة شعبية، و في قوانين مستلهمة من القرآن، و في الاجتهاد و تلبية الاحتياجات المستحدثة للبشر، و في رفض الجمود الفكري و الرجعية، ناهيك عن البدعة و الالتقاط، و في إنتاج الرفاه و الثروة العامة، و في استتباب العدل، و في التخلص من الاقتصاد القائم على الاستئثار و الربا و التكاثر، و في إشاعة الأخلاق الإنسانية، و في الدفاع عن المظلومين في العالم، و في السعي و العمل و الابداع.
و من مستلزمات هذا البناء الحضاري النظرة الاجتهادية و العلمية للساحات المختلفة بدء من العلوم الإنسانية و نظام التربية و التعليم الرسمي، و مروراً بالاقتصاد و النظام المصرفي، و انتهاء بالإنتاج الصناعي و التقني و وسائل الإعلام الحديثة و الفن و السينما، بالإضافة إلى العلاقات الدولية و غيرها من الساحات.
و تدلّ التجربة علی أن كل ذلك ممكن و في متناول مجتمعاتنا بطاقاتها المتوفرة. لا يجوز أن ننظر إلى هذا الأفق بنظرة متسرعة أو متشائمة. التشاؤم في تقويم قدراتنا كفران بنعم الله، و الغفلة عن الإمداد الإلهي و دعم سنن الكون انزلاق في ورطة : (الظَّانِّينَ بِاللهِ ظَنَّ السَّوْءِ). (10)
نحن قادرون على أن نكسر حلقات الاحتكارات العلمية و الاقتصادية و السياسية لقوى الهيمنة، و أن نجعل الأمة الإسلامية سبّاقة لإحقاق حقوق أكثرية شعوب العالم التي هي اليوم مقهورة أمام أقلية مستكبرة.
الحضارة الإسلامية بمقوماتها الإيمانية و العلمية و الأخلاقية، و عبر الجهاد الدائم، قادرة علی أن تقدم للأمة الإسلامية و للبشرية المشاريع الفكرية المتطورة و الأخلاق السامية، و أن تكون منطلق الخلاص من مظالم الرؤية المادية للكون و من الأخلاق الغارقة في مستنقع الرذيلة التي تشكل أركان الحضارة الغربية القائمة.
المسألة الثالثة: في إطار حركات الصحوة الإسلامية يجب الاهتمام باستمرار بالتجربة المرّة و الفظيعة التي تركتها التبعية للغرب على السياسة و الأخلاق و السلوك و نمط الحياة.
البلدان الإسلامية خلال أكثر من قرن من التبعية لثقافة الدول المستكبرة و سياستها قد مُنيت بآفات مهلكة مثل الذيلية و الذلة السياسية و الفقر الاقتصادي و تهاوي الأخلاق و الفضيلة، و التخلف العلمي المُخجِل، بينما الأمة الإسلامية تمتلك تاريخاً مشرقاً من التقدم في جميع هذه المجالات.
هذا الكلام لا ينبغي اعتباره مناصبة العداء للغرب، نحن لا نكنّ العداء لأية مجموعة إنسانية بسبب تمايزها الجغرافي. نحن تعلمنا من الإمام علي (عليه السلام) ما قاله عن الإنسان أنه: «إمّا أخ لك في الدين أو نظير لك في الخلق». (11) اعتراضنا إنما هو على الظلم و الاستكبار و التحكم و العدوان و الفساد و الانحطاط الأخلاقي و العملي الذي تمارسه القوى الاستعمارية و الاستكبارية ضد شعوبنا. و نحن الآن أيضاً نشاهد تحكّم و تدخل و تعنّت أمريكا و بعض ذيولها في المنطقة داخل البلدان التي تحوّل فيها نسيم الصحوة إلى نهوض عاصف و إلى ثورة. وعود هؤلاء و توعّداتهم يجب أن لا تؤثر في قرارات و مبادرات النخب السياسية و في الحركة الجماهيرية العظيمة.
و هنا أيضاً يجب أن نتلقى الدروس من التجارب. أولئك الذين انشدّت قلوبهم لسنوات طويلة بوعود أمريكا و جعلوا الركون إلى الظالم أساساً لنهجهم و سياستهم لم يستطيعوا أن يحلّوا مشكلة من مشاكل شعبهم أو أن يبعدوا ظلماً عنهم أو عن غيرهم. بل إن هؤلاء باستسلامهم لأمريكا لم يستطيعوا أن يحولوا دون هدم بيت فلسطيني واحد على الأقل في إرض هي ملك للفلسطينيين.
الساسة و النخب المخدوعة بالتطميع أو المرعوبة بتهديد جبهة الاستكبار و الذين يخسرون فرصة الصحوة الإسلامية يجب أن يخشوا ما وجهه الله سبحانه إليهم من تهديد إذ قال: (أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ بَدَّلُواْ نِعْمَةَ اللهِ كُفْرًا وَ أَحَلُّواْ قَوْمَهُمْ دَارَ الْبَوَارِ، جَهَنَّمَ يَصْلَوْنَهَا وَ بِئْسَ الْقَرَارُ). (12)
المسألة الرابعة: إن أخطر ما يواجه حركة الصحوة الاسلامية اليوم هو إثارة الخلافات و دفع هذا الحراك نحو صدامات دموية طائفية و مذهبية و قومية و محلیة. هذه المؤامرة تتابع أجهزة الجاسوسية الغربية و الصهيونية تنفيذها اليوم بجدٍ و اهتمام في منطقة تمتد من شرق آسيا حتى شمال أفريقيا، و خاصة في المنطقة العربية، بدعم من دولارات النفط و الساسة المأجورين. و الأموال التي یمکن استخدمها في تحقيق رفاه خلق الله، تُنفق في التهديد و التكفير و الاغتيال و التفجير و إراقة دم المسلمين و إضرام نيران الأحقاد الدفينة. أولئك الذين يرون في قوة اتحاد المسلمين مانعاً لتطبيق أهدافهم الخبيثة رأوا في إثارة الخلافات داخل الأمة الإسلامية أيسر طريق لتنفيذ أهدافهم الشيطانية، و جعلوا من اختلاف وجهات النظر في الفقه و الكلام و التاريخ و الحديث، و هو اختلاف طبيعي لا يمكن اجتنابه، ذريعة للتكفير و سفك الدماء و الفتنة و الفساد.
نظرة فاحصة لساحة النزاعات الداخلية تكشف بوضوح يد العدوّ وراء هذه المآسي. هذه اليد الغادرة تستثمر دون شك الجهل و العصبية و السطحية في مجتمعاتنا، و تصبّ الزيت على النار. مسؤولية المصلحين و النخب الدينية و السياسية في هذا الخضمّ ثقيلة جداً.
ليبيا بشكل، و مصر و تونس بشكل أخر، و سوريا بشكل، و باكستان بشكل أخر، و العراق و لبنان بشكل، تعاني اليوم أو في معرض المعاناة من هذه النيران الخطرة. لا بدّ من المراقبة الشديدة و البحث عن العلاج.
من السذاجة أن نعزو كل ذلك إلى عوامل و دوافع عقائدية أو قومية. الدعاية الغربية و الإعلام الإقليمي التابع و المأجور يصوّران الحرب المدمّرة في سورية بأنها نزاع سنّي ــ شيعي، و يوفران بذلك مساحة آمنة للصهاينة و أعداء المقاومة في سوريا و لبنان. بينما النزاع في سوريا ليس بين طرفين سني و شيعي، بل بين أنصار المقاومة ضد الصهيونية و معارضي هذه المقاومة. ليست حكومة سوريا حكومة شيعية، و لا المعارضة العلمانية المعادية للإسلام مجموعة سنية، إنما المنفذون لهذا السيناريو المأساوي كانوا بارعين في قدرتهم على استغلال المشاعر الدينية للسذج في هذا الحريق المهلك. نظرة إلى الساحة و الفاعلين فيها على المستويات المختلفة توضّح هذه المسألة لكل إنسان منصف.
هذه الموجة الإعلامية تؤدّي دورها بشكل آخر في البحرين لاختلاق الكذب و الخداع. في البحرين هناك أكثرية مظلومة محرومة لسنوات طويلة من حق التصويت و سائر الحقوق الأساسية للشعب، قد نهضت للمطالبة بحقها. ترى هل يصحّ أن نعتبر الصراع شيعيا سنياً لأن هذه الأكثرية المظلومة من الشيعة، و الحكومة المتجبّرة العلمانية تتظاهر بالتسنّن ؟!
المستعمرون الأوربيون و الأمريكيون و من لفّ لفهم في المنطقة يريدون طبعاً أن يصوّروا الأمر بهذا الشكل، و لكن أهذه هي الحقيقة؟!
هذا ما يستدعي من جميع علماء الدين المصلحين و المنصفين أن يقفوا تجاهه بتأمّل و دقة و شعور بالمسؤولية، و يحتّم عليهم أن يعرفوا أهداف العدو في إثارة الخلافات الطائفية و القومية و الحزبية.
المسألة الخامسة: إن سلامة مسيرة حركات الصحوة الإسلامية يجب أن نبحث عنها، فيما نبحث، في موقفها تجاه قضية فلسطين. منذ ستين عاماً حتى الآن لم تنزل على قلب الأمة الإسلامية كارثة أكبر من اغتصاب فلسطين.
مأساة فلسطين منذ اليوم الأول حتى الآن كانت مزيجاً من القتل و الارهاب و الهدم و الغصب و الإساءة للمقدسات الإسلامية. وجوب الصمود و النضال أمام هذا العدو المحارب هو موضع اتفاق جميع المذاهب الإسلامية و محل إجماع كل التيارات الوطنية الصادقة و السليمة.
إنّ أيّ تيار في البلدان الإسلامية يتناسى هذا الواجب الديني و الوطني انصياعاً للإرادة الأمريكية المتعنتة أو بمبررات غير منطقية يجب أن لا يتوقع غير التشكيك في وفائه للإسلام و في صدق ادعاءاته الوطنية.
إنّ هذا هو المحكّ. كل من يرفض شعار تحرير القدس الشريف و إنقاذ الشعب الفلسطيني و أرض فلسطين، أو يجعلها مسألة ثانوية و يدير ظهره لجبهة المقاومة، فهو متّهم.
الأمة الإسلامية يجب أن تضع نصب عينيها هذا المؤشر و المعيار الواضح الأساسي في كل مكان و زمان.
أيها الضيوف الأعزاء.. أيها الإخوة و الأخوات..
لا تبعدوا عن أنظاركم كيد العدوّ، فإن غفلتنا توفّر الفرصة للعدوّ.
إنّ درس الإمام علي (عليه السلام) لنا هو أنه: «من نام لم يُنَم عنه». (13) تجربتنا في الجمهورية الإسلامية هي بدورها مليئة بدروس العبرة في هذا المجال. إذ بعد انتصار الثورة الإسلامية في إيران، بدأت الحكومات الغربية و الأمريكية المستكبرة التي كانت منذ أمد بعيد تسيطر على طواغيت إيران و تتحكم في المصير السياسي و الاقتصادي و الثقافي لبلدنا، و تستهين بالقوة الضخمة للايمان الإسلامي في داخل المجتمع، و كانت غافلة عن قوة الإسلام و القرآن في التعبئة و التوجيه، بدأت تفهم فجأة ما وقعت فيه من غفلة، فتحركت دوائرها السيادية و أجهزتها الاستخبارية و مراكز صنع القرار فيها لِتَجبُرَ ما مُنيت به من هزيمة فاحشة .
رأينا خلال هذه الأعوام التي تربو علی الثلاثين أنواع المؤامرات و المخططات، و الذي بدّد مكرهم أساساً هو عاملان: الثبات على المبادئ الإسلامية، و الحضور الجماهيري في الساحة.
هذان العاملان هما مفتاح الفتح و الفَرَج في كل مكان. العامل الأول يضمنه الإيمان الصادق بالوعد الإلهي، و العامل الثاني سيبقى ببركة الجهود المخلصة و البيان الصادق. الشعب الذي يؤمن بصدقِ قادته و إخلاصهم يجعل الساحة فاعلة بحضوره المبارك. و أينما بقي الشعب في الساحة بعزم راسخ فإن أية قدرة ستكون عاجزة عن إنزال الهزيمة به. هذه تجربة ناجحة لكل الشعوب التي صنعت بحضورها الصحوة الإسلامية.
أسأل الله تعالى لكم و لكل الشعوب أن يسددكم و يأخذ بأیدیکم و يعينكم و يغدق عليكم شآبيب رحمته إنه تعالى سميع مجيب.
و السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته.

كلمة قائد الثورة الاسلامية الإمام الخامنئي في المؤتمر العالمي لعلماء الدين و الصحوة الإسلامية
29/04/2013
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
و الحمد لله رب العالمين، و الصلاة و السلام على سيدنا محمد المصطفى، و آله الأطيبين و صحبه المنتجبين، و من تبعهم بإحسان إلى يوم الدين.
أرحب بكم أيها الضيوف الأعزاء، و أسأل الله العزيز الرحيم أن يبارك في هذا الجهد الجماعي، و أن يجعله شوطاً فاعلاً على طريق حياة أفضل للمسلمين إنه سميع مجيب.
موضوع الصحوة الإسلامية الذي ستتناولونه في هذا المؤتمر هو اليوم في رأس قائمة قضايا العالم الإسلامي و الأمة الإسلامية.. إنه ظاهرة عظيمة لو بقيت سليمة و تواصلت بإذن الله لاستطاعت أن تقيم الحضارة الإسلامية في أفق ليس ببعيد للعالم الإسلامي و من ثَمّ للبشرية جمعاء.
إنّ البارز أمام أعيننا اليوم، و لا يستطيع أي إنسان مطّلع و ذي بصيرة أن ينكره هو أن الإسلام اليوم قد خرج من هامش المعادلات الاجتماعية و السياسية في العالم، و اتخذ مكانة بارزة و ماثلة في مركز العناصر الفاعلة لحوادث العالم، ليقدم رؤية جديدة على ساحة الحياة و السياسة و الحكم و التطورات الاجتماعية. و يشكل ذلك، في عالمنا المعاصر الذي يعاني بعد هزيمة الشيوعية و الليبرالية من فراغ فكري و نظري عميق، ظاهرةً ذات مغزى و أهمية بالغة.
و هذا أول أثر تركته الحوادث السياسية و الثورية في شمال أفريقيا و المنطقة العربية على الصعيد العالمي، و يبشّر بدوره ببروز حقائق أكبر في المستقبل.
إنّ الصحوة الإسلامية التي يتجنب ذكرها المتحدثون باسم جبهة الاستكبار و الرجعية، بل يخافون أن يجري اسمها على ألسنتهم، هي حقيقة نرى معالمها اليوم في أرجاء العالم الإسلامي كافة. و أبرز معالمها تطلع الرأي العام و خاصة فئة الشباب إلى إحياء مجد الإسلام و عظمته، و وعيهم لحقيقة نظام الهيمنة العالمية، و انكشاف الوجه الخبيث و الظالم و المستكبر لحكومات و دوائر أنشبت أظفارها الدامية لأكثر من قرنين في المشرق الإسلامي و غير الإسلامي، و جعلت مقدرات الشعوب عرضة لنزعتها الشرسة و العدوانية نحو الهيمنة، و ذلك بنقاب المدنية و الحضارة.
أبعاد هذه الصحوة المباركة واسعة غاية السعة و ذات امتداد رمزي، و لكن ما حققته من حاضر العطاء في بعض بلدان شمال أفريقيا من شأنه أن يجعل القلوب واثقة بمعطيات مستقبلية كبرى و هائلة. إن تحقق معاجز الوعود الإلهية يحمل دائماً معه دلالات أمل يبشّر بتحقق وعود أكبر. و ما يحكيه القرآن الكريم عن الوعدين الإلهيين لأمّ موسى هو نموذج من هذه السنة الربانية.
إذ في تلك اللحظات العسيرة، حيث صدر الأمر بإلقاء الصندوق حامل الرضيع في اليمّ، جاء الخطاب الإلهي بالوعد: (إِنَّا رَادُّوهُ إِلَيْكِ وَ جَاعِلُوهُ مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ). (1) إن تحقق الوعد الأول، و هو الوعد الأصغر الذي شدّ على قلب الأم، أصبح منطلقاً لتحقق وعد الرسالة، و هو أكبر بكثير، و يستلزم طبعاً تحمّل المشاق و المجاهدة و الصبر الطويل: (فَرَدَدْنَاهُ إِلَى أُمِّهِ كَيْ تَقَرَّ عَيْنُهَا وَ لَا تَحْزَنَ وَ لِتَعْلَمَ أَنَّ وَعْدَ اللهِ حَقٌّ...). (2) هذا الوعد الحقّ هو تلك الرسالة الكبرى التي تحققت بعد سنين و غيّرت مسيرة التاريخ.
و من النماذج الأخرى التذكير بالقدرة الإلهية الفائقة في قمع المهاجمين للكعبة، و الذي ورد في القرآن بلسان الرسول الأعظم (ألم يجعل كيدهم في تضليل) (3) و ذلك لتشجيع المخاطبين علی امتثال الأمر الالهي: (فليعبدوا رب هذا البيت). (4)
و في موضع آخر يذكّر سبحانه رسوله بما أغدقه عليه من نعم تشبه المعجزة: (أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَآوَى، وَ وَجَدَكَ ضَالًّا فَهَدَى)، ليكون ذلك وسيلة لتقوية معنويات نبيّه الحبيب و إيمانه بالوعد الإلهي في قوله: (مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَ مَا قَلَى)، (5) و مثل هذه الأمثلة كثيرة في القرآن الكريم.
حين انتصر الإسلام في إيران، و استطاع أن يفتح قلاع أمريكا و الصهيونية في أحد أكثر البلدان حساسية من هذه المنطقة المهمة بامتياز، عَلِم أهل العبرة و الحكمة أنهم إذا انتهجوا طریق الصبر و البصيرة فإن فتوحات أخرى ستتعاقب علیهم، و قد تعاقبت فعلاً.
الحقائق الساطعة في الجمهورية الإسلامية و التي يعترف بها الأعداء قد تحققت بأجمعها في ظل الثقة بالوعد الإلهي و الصبر و المقاومة و الاستمداد من ربّ العالمين. شعبنا كان يرفع دائماً صوته بالقول: (كَلَّا إِنَّ مَعِيَ رَبِّي سَيَهْدِينِ)، (6) أمام وساوس الضعفاء الذين كانوا يردّدون في الفترات الحرجة: (إِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُونَ). (7)
هذه التجربة الثمینة هي اليوم في متناول الشعوب التي نهضت بوجه الاستكبار و الاستبداد، و استطاعت أن تسقط أو تزلزل عروش الحكومات الفاسدة الخاضعة و التابعة لأمريكا. الثبات و الصبر و البصيرة و الثقة بالوعد الإلهي في قوله سبحانه: (وَ لَيَنصُرَنَّ اللهُ مَن يَنصُرُهُ إِنَّ اللهَ لَقَوِيٌّ عَزِيزٌ)، (8) بإمكانها أن تمهّد طريق العزّ هذا أمام الأمة الإسلامية حتى تصل إلى قمة الحضارة الإسلامية.
إنني في هذا الاجتماع الهام لعلماء الأمة بمختلف أقطارهم و مذاهبهم أرى من المناسب أن أبيّن عدة نقاط ضرورية حول قضايا الصحوة الإسلامية:
الأولى: إن الأمواج الأولى للصحوة في بلدان هذه المنطقة، و التي اقترنت ببدايات دخول الغزو الاستعماري، قد انطلقت غالباً على يد علماء الدين و المصلحين الدينيين. لقد خلدت صفحات التاريخ و للأبد أسماء قادة و شخصيات بارزة من أمثال السيد جمال الدين الأسد آبادي، و محمد عبده، و الميرزا الشيرازي، و الآخوند الخراساني، و محمود الحسن، و محمد علي، و الشيخ فضل الله النوري، و الحاج آقا نور الله، و أبي الأعلى المودودي، و عشرات من كبار علماء الدين المعروفين و المجاهدين و المتنفذين من إيران و مصر و الهند و العراق. و يبرز في عصرنا الراهن اسم الإمام الخميني العظيم مثل كوكب ساطع على جبين الثورة الإسلامية في إيران. و كان لمئات العلماء المعروفين و آلاف العلماء غير المعروفين في الحاضر و الماضي دور في المشاريع الإصلاحية الكبيرة و الصغيرة على ساحة مختلف البلدان. و قائمة المصلحين الدينيين من غير علماء الدين كحسن البنا و إقبال اللاهوري هي طويلة أيضاً و مثيرة للإعجاب.

(9)
إننا اليوم، في عصر حراك الصحوة الإسلامية و ما تبعثه في النفوس من أمل، نشاهد أحيانًا مساعي خدم أمريكا و الصهيونية لاصطناع مرجعيات فكرية مشبوهة من ناحية، و مساعي الغارقين في المال و مستنقع الشهوات لجرّ أهل الدين و التقوى إلى موائدهم المسمومة الملوثة من ناحية أخرى.

و من مستلزمات هذا البناء الحضاري النظرة الاجتهادية و العلمية للساحات المختلفة بدء من العلوم الإنسانية و نظام التربية و التعليم الرسمي، و مروراً بالاقتصاد و النظام المصرفي، و انتهاء بالإنتاج الصناعي و التقني و وسائل الإعلام الحديثة و الفن و السينما، بالإضافة إلى العلاقات الدولية و غيرها من الساحات.

(12)
المسألة الرابعة: إن أخطر ما يواجه حركة الصحوة الاسلامية اليوم هو إثارة الخلافات و دفع هذا الحراك نحو صدامات دموية طائفية و مذهبية و قومية و محلیة. هذه المؤامرة تتابع أجهزة الجاسوسية الغربية و الصهيونية تنفيذها اليوم بجدٍ و اهتمام في منطقة تمتد من شرق آسيا حتى شمال أفريقيا، و خاصة في المنطقة العربية، بدعم من دولارات النفط و الساسة المأجورين. و الأموال التي یمکن استخدمها في تحقيق رفاه خلق الله، تُنفق في التهديد و التكفير و الاغتيال و التفجير و إراقة دم المسلمين و إضرام نيران الأحقاد الدفينة. أولئك الذين يرون في قوة اتحاد المسلمين مانعاً لتطبيق أهدافهم الخبيثة رأوا في إثارة الخلافات داخل الأمة الإسلامية أيسر طريق لتنفيذ أهدافهم الشيطانية، و جعلوا من اختلاف وجهات النظر في الفقه و الكلام و التاريخ و الحديث، و هو اختلاف طبيعي لا يمكن اجتنابه، ذريعة للتكفير و سفك الدماء و الفتنة و الفساد.
نظرة فاحصة لساحة النزاعات الداخلية تكشف بوضوح يد العدوّ وراء هذه المآسي. هذه اليد الغادرة تستثمر دون شك الجهل و العصبية و السطحية في مجتمعاتنا، و تصبّ الزيت على النار. مسؤولية المصلحين و النخب الدينية و السياسية في هذا الخضمّ ثقيلة جداً.
ليبيا بشكل، و مصر و تونس بشكل أخر، و سوريا بشكل، و باكستان بشكل أخر، و العراق و لبنان بشكل، تعاني اليوم أو في معرض المعاناة من هذه النيران الخطرة. لا بدّ من المراقبة الشديدة و البحث عن العلاج.
من السذاجة أن نعزو كل ذلك إلى عوامل و دوافع عقائدية أو قومية. الدعاية الغربية و الإعلام الإقليمي التابع و المأجور يصوّران الحرب المدمّرة في سورية بأنها نزاع سنّي ــ شيعي، و يوفران بذلك مساحة آمنة للصهاينة و أعداء المقاومة في سوريا و لبنان. بينما النزاع في سوريا ليس بين طرفين سني و شيعي، بل بين أنصار المقاومة ضد الصهيونية و معارضي هذه المقاومة. ليست حكومة سوريا حكومة شيعية، و لا المعارضة العلمانية المعادية للإسلام مجموعة سنية، إنما المنفذون لهذا السيناريو المأساوي كانوا بارعين في قدرتهم على استغلال المشاعر الدينية للسذج في هذا الحريق المهلك. نظرة إلى الساحة و الفاعلين فيها على المستويات المختلفة توضّح هذه المسألة لكل إنسان منصف.
هذه الموجة الإعلامية تؤدّي دورها بشكل آخر في البحرين لاختلاق الكذب و الخداع. في البحرين هناك أكثرية مظلومة محرومة لسنوات طويلة من حق التصويت و سائر الحقوق الأساسية للشعب، قد نهضت للمطالبة بحقها. ترى هل يصحّ أن نعتبر الصراع شيعيا سنياً لأن هذه الأكثرية المظلومة من الشيعة، و الحكومة المتجبّرة العلمانية تتظاهر بالتسنّن ؟!
المستعمرون الأوربيون و الأمريكيون و من لفّ لفهم في المنطقة يريدون طبعاً أن يصوّروا الأمر بهذا الشكل، و لكن أهذه هي الحقيقة؟!
هذا ما يستدعي من جميع علماء الدين المصلحين و المنصفين أن يقفوا تجاهه بتأمّل و دقة و شعور بالمسؤولية، و يحتّم عليهم أن يعرفوا أهداف العدو في إثارة الخلافات الطائفية و القومية و الحزبية.
المسألة الخامسة: إن سلامة مسيرة حركات الصحوة الإسلامية يجب أن نبحث عنها، فيما نبحث، في موقفها تجاه قضية فلسطين. منذ ستين عاماً حتى الآن لم تنزل على قلب الأمة الإسلامية كارثة أكبر من اغتصاب فلسطين.
مأساة فلسطين منذ اليوم الأول حتى الآن كانت مزيجاً من القتل و الارهاب و الهدم و الغصب و الإساءة للمقدسات الإسلامية. وجوب الصمود و النضال أمام هذا العدو المحارب هو موضع اتفاق جميع المذاهب الإسلامية و محل إجماع كل التيارات الوطنية الصادقة و السليمة.
إنّ أيّ تيار في البلدان الإسلامية يتناسى هذا الواجب الديني و الوطني انصياعاً للإرادة الأمريكية المتعنتة أو بمبررات غير منطقية يجب أن لا يتوقع غير التشكيك في وفائه للإسلام و في صدق ادعاءاته الوطنية.
إنّ هذا هو المحكّ. كل من يرفض شعار تحرير القدس الشريف و إنقاذ الشعب الفلسطيني و أرض فلسطين، أو يجعلها مسألة ثانوية و يدير ظهره لجبهة المقاومة، فهو متّهم.
الأمة الإسلامية يجب أن تضع نصب عينيها هذا المؤشر و المعيار الواضح الأساسي في كل مكان و زمان.
أيها الضيوف الأعزاء.. أيها الإخوة و الأخوات..
لا تبعدوا عن أنظاركم كيد العدوّ، فإن غفلتنا توفّر الفرصة للعدوّ.
إنّ درس الإمام علي (عليه السلام) لنا هو أنه: «من نام لم يُنَم عنه». (13) تجربتنا في الجمهورية الإسلامية هي بدورها مليئة بدروس العبرة في هذا المجال. إذ بعد انتصار الثورة الإسلامية في إيران، بدأت الحكومات الغربية و الأمريكية المستكبرة التي كانت منذ أمد بعيد تسيطر على طواغيت إيران و تتحكم في المصير السياسي و الاقتصادي و الثقافي لبلدنا، و تستهين بالقوة الضخمة للايمان الإسلامي في داخل المجتمع، و كانت غافلة عن قوة الإسلام و القرآن في التعبئة و التوجيه، بدأت تفهم فجأة ما وقعت فيه من غفلة، فتحركت دوائرها السيادية و أجهزتها الاستخبارية و مراكز صنع القرار فيها لِتَجبُرَ ما مُنيت به من هزيمة فاحشة .
رأينا خلال هذه الأعوام التي تربو علی الثلاثين أنواع المؤامرات و المخططات، و الذي بدّد مكرهم أساساً هو عاملان: الثبات على المبادئ الإسلامية، و الحضور الجماهيري في الساحة.
هذان العاملان هما مفتاح الفتح و الفَرَج في كل مكان. العامل الأول يضمنه الإيمان الصادق بالوعد الإلهي، و العامل الثاني سيبقى ببركة الجهود المخلصة و البيان الصادق. الشعب الذي يؤمن بصدقِ قادته و إخلاصهم يجعل الساحة فاعلة بحضوره المبارك. و أينما بقي الشعب في الساحة بعزم راسخ فإن أية قدرة ستكون عاجزة عن إنزال الهزيمة به. هذه تجربة ناجحة لكل الشعوب التي صنعت بحضورها الصحوة الإسلامية.
أسأل الله تعالى لكم و لكل الشعوب أن يسددكم و يأخذ بأیدیکم و يعينكم و يغدق عليكم شآبيب رحمته إنه تعالى سميع مجيب.
و السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته.

Israel warns Gaza of "shoah". Critics say at least 68 deaths in Gaza in February and 62 in January are a disproportionate response to 3 Israeli deaths in a year. There has been international support for Israel's right to defend itself against enemies who deny the Jewish state's right to exist. But there have also been calls for restraint. The word "shoah" is rarely used in Israel beyond discussions of the Nazi Holocaust of the Jews but government spokesmen said Vilnai had employed the word only to mean "disaster"

A tribute to Sayyeda Zainab (s.a) - Persian

Peace be upon you. Oh daughter of the Commander of the faithful a.s. Peace be upon you Oh daughter of Fatima a.s. Two Worlds Radiant Lady s.a. Peace be upon you. We speak of Hazrat Zainab s.a. She well conveyed the message of Karbala s uprising and tragedy to the world and today it is a great honor for Muslims to follow this great lady as an example in their lives. Truly when an individual spends his or her life in support of truth and establishment of divine values - his or her name will remain eternal in history and his or her lifestyle will inspire the future generations. That is why the name of Zainab s.a. and her lifestyle has influenced many people - even non Muslims. Ms. Carin from Germany - after embracing Islam - chose Zainab s.a. as her first name. Regarding her incentive in choosing this name she says - I was always interested in the life story of the holy Prophet of Islam s.a.w.a.w and his household. I was specially affected by the story of uprising of Imam Hussein a.s. in Karbala and the personality of Hazrat Zainab s.a. in the events of Karbala. The self-sacrifices of that great lady while bearing the heavy grief of martyrdom of her brother and other companions are praiseworthy. Hazrat Zainab s.a. was a lady of knowledge virtue bravery and patience.These characteristics helped her carry out her mission in Karbala uprising in the company of Imam Hussein a.s. Hazrat Zainab s lifestyle contains instructive points for me and whenever I come across a problem I immediately remember Her. For her name brings me tranquility. That is why I adopted the name of Zainab after embracing Islam. Hazrat Zainab s.a. was brought up under instructions of a father like Imam Ali a.s. and a mother like Fatema s.a. and she benefited greatly from these two personalities. Historians say Hazrat Zainab inherited bravery honesty and fluency in speech from her father Imam Ali a.s. and kindness and loyalty from her mother Hazrat Fatema s.a. She made great efforts in giving religious training to the women of her time and thus many women at that time benefited from Hazrat Zainab s knowledge and teachings. Hazrat Zainab s.a. spent her fruitful life in promoting monotheism and assuming divine responsibilities and her heroic participation in the greatest epic of history - namely the uprising of Imam Hussein a.s. in Karbala brought her a lasting name. You wont find a single person who is familiar with Karbala tragedy and has not heard of Hazrat Zainab s.a. Zainab s.a. conveyed the message of Imam Hussein s uprising to territories beyond Karbala desert. She encouraged the warriors and sympathized with the injured. She was so bound to the fulfillment of her religious obligations that even at those critical conditions she did not forget to say her prayers at night. Imam Sajjad a.s. says - I saw my aunt Hazrat Zainab s.a. saying her prayers while sitting. A major part of Hazrat Zainab s mission started when Karbala tragedy apparently ended with the martyrdom of Imam Hussein a.s. This chapter of Hazrat Zainab s life began with conveying the message of Ashura in which she heroically defended the rights of the household - ahlul bait - and did not permit the enemies to take advantage of Karbala tragedy. In this tragedy the Omayyud ruler Yazid l.a. and his followers l.a. thought that they had succeeded in creating a negative image of the holy Prophet s household but when the caravan of the household members now in captivity arrived in Kufa - Hazrat Zainab s.a. behaved in such a way that she managed to turn the so-called victory of the Omayyud into a defeat. In her famous address She changed the mentality of the people of Kufa and Damascus. She symbolized a shining sun who reflected light into everything. Although Hazrat Zainab s.a. did not live long after Karbala tragedy she sowed the seeds of awareness in the entire Islamic society. This great lady passed away in 62 AH after she made lots of efforts in the path of truth. Once again we offer our condolences and bring you an excerpt from her historic statement addressed to Yazid. She says - O Yazid practice any trick you can and do anything that you think would vanish Islam. But you should know that you can not eradicate our message our path and our remembrance. You should know that our remembrance will never die. MAY OUR LIVES BE SACRIFICED FOR HAZRAT ZAINAB s.a.

French lawmakers approve burqa ban
French lawmakers have ratified a legislation to prohibit women from wearing face-covering veils despite right activist saying such a law violates personal and religious freedoms.
The Senate voted 246 to 1 in favor of the bill, which has already cleared the lower chamber, the National Assembly, reported AFP.
The law will come into effect if the Constitutional Council does not question its legality.
Muslims argue that the legislation is going to discriminates against France's Muslim population, which is already facing rising level of Islamophobia.
Once in place, the law will allow authorities to arrest and fine those women who defy the ban.
A woman who continues wearing veils will receive a fine of EUR 150 (USD 195) or a course of citizenship lessons. A man who forces a woman to go veiled will be fined EUR 30,000 and imprisonment.
France is home to the largest Muslim population among the 27 European Union member states. Nearly 10 percent of the 62 million people living in French is Muslim.
In June, members of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) unanimously voted against any general ban against burqa or niqab in Europe, saying Muslim women should be free to choose their clothing.

Message of Thaqalayn
\"Al-Ghadir\" and its Relevance to Islamic Unity
________________________________________
Ayatullah Murtaza Mutahhari
Translated by Mojgan Jalali
Vol. 3, No. 1 and 2 (1417 AH/1996 CE)
The distinguished book entitled \"al-Ghadir\" has raised a huge wave in the world of Islam. Islamic thinkers shed light on the book in different perspectives; in literature, history, theology, tradition, tafsir, and sociology. From the social perspective we can deal with the Islamic unity. In this review the Islamic unity has been dealt with from a social point of view.
Contemporary Muslim thinkers and reformists are of the view that unity and solidarity of Muslims are the most imperative Islamic exigencies at the present juncture when the enemies have made extensive inroads upon the Islamic community and have tried to resort to different ways and means to spread the old differences and create new ones. We are aware that Islamic unity and fraternity is the focus of attention of the Holy Legislator of Islam and is actually the major objective pursued by this Divine religion as firmed by the Qur\'an, the \"Sunnah\", and the history of Islam.
For this reason, some people have been faced with this question: Wouldn\'t the compilation and publication of a book such as \"al-Ghadir\" which deals with the oldest issue of differences among the Muslims- create a barrier in the way of the sublime and lofty objective of the Islamic unity?
To answer this question, it is necessary first to elucidate the essence of this issue, that is, the Islamic unity, and then proceed to examine the role of the magnum opus entitled \"al-Ghadir\"and its eminent compiler \'Allamah Amini in bringing about Islamic unity.
Islamic Unity
What is meant by the Islamic unity? Does it mean that one Islamic school of thought should be unanimously followed and others be set aside? Or does it mean that the commonalties of all Islamic schools of thought should be taken up and their differences be put away to make up a new denomination which is not completely the same as the previous ones? Or does it mean that Islamic unity is in no way related to the unity of the different schools of Fiqh (jurisprudence) but signifies the unity of the Muslims and the unity of the followers of different schools of Fiqh, with their different religious ideas and views, vis-a-vis the aliens?
To give an illogical and impractical meaning to the issue of the Islamic unity, the opponents of the issue have called it to be the formation of a single Madhhab, so as to defeat it in the very first step. Without doubt, by the term Islamic unity, the intellectual Islamic \'Ulama\' (scholars) do not mean that all denominations should give in to one denomination or that the commonalties should be taken up and the different views and ideas be set aside, as these are neither rational and logical nor favorable and practical. By the Islamic unity these scholars mean that all Muslims should unite in one line against their common enemies.
These scholars slate that Muslims have many things in common, which can serve as the foundations of a firm unity. All Muslims worship the One Almighty and believe in the Prophethood of the Holy Prophet (s). The Qur\'an is the Book of all Muslims and Ka\'abah is their \"qiblah\" (direction of prayer). They go to\"hajj\" pilgrimage with each other and perform the \"hajj\" rites and rituals like one another. They say the daily prayers and fast like each other. They establish families and engage in transactions like one another. They have similar ways of bringing up their children and burying their dead. Apart from minor affairs, they share similarities in all the aforementioned cases. Muslims also share one kind of world view, one common culture, and one grand, glorious, and long-standing civilization.
Unity in the world view, in culture, in the civilization, in insight and disposition, in religious beliefs, in acts of worship and prayers, in social rites and customs can well turn the Muslim into a unified nation to serve as a massive and dominant power before which the big global powers would have to bow down. This is especially true in view of the stress laid by Islam on this principle. According to the explicit wording of the Qur\'an, the Muslims are brothers, and special rights and duties link them together. So, why shouldn\'t the Muslims use all these extensive facilities accorded to them as the blessing of Islam?
This group of \'Ulama\' are of the view that there is no need for the Muslims to make any compromise on the primary or secondary principles of their religion for the sake of Islamic unity. Also it is not necessary for the Muslims to avoid engaging in discussions and reasons and writing books on primary and secondary principles about which they have differences. The only consideration for Islamic unity in this case is that the Muslims- in order to avoid the emergence or accentuation of vengeance - preserve their possession, avoid insulting and accusing each other and uttering fabrications, abandon ridiculing the logic of one another, and finally abstain from hurting one another and going beyond the borders of logic and reasoning. In fact, they should, at least, observe the limits which Islam has set forth for inviting non-Muslims to embrace it:
\"Call to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good exhortation, and have disputations with them in the best manner... \"(16: 125)
Some people are of the view that those schools of fiqh, such as, Shafi\'i and Hanafi which have no differences in principle should establish brotherhood and stand in one line. They believe that denominations which have differences in the principles can in no way be brothers. This group view the religious principles as an interconnected set as termed by scholars of Usul, as an interrelated and interdependent set; any damage to one principle harms all principles.
As a result, those who believe in this principle are of the view that when, for instance, the principle of \"imamah\" is damaged and victimized, unity and fraternity will bear no meaning and for this reason the Shi\'ah and the Sunnis cannot shake hands as two Muslim brothers and be in the same rank, no matter who their enemy is.
The first group answers this group by saying: \"There is no reason for us to consider the principles as an interrelated set and follow the principle of \"all or none\". Imam \'Ali (\'a) chose a very logical and reasonable approach. He left no stone unturned to retrieve his right. He used everything within his power to restore the principle of \"imamah\", but he never adhered to the motto of \"all or none\". \'Ali (\'a) did not rise up for his right, and that was not compulsory. On the contrary, it was a calculated and chosen approach. He did not fear death. Why didn\'t he rise up? There could have been nothing above martyrdom. Being killed for the cause of the Almighty was his ultimate desire. He was more intimate with martyrdom than a child is with his mother\'s breast. But in his sound calculations, Imam \'All (\'a) had reached the conclusion that under the existing conditions it was to the interest of Islam to foster collaboration and cooperation among the Muslims and give up revolt. He repeatedly stressed this point.
In one of his letters (No.62 \"Nahj al Balaghah\") to Malik al-Ashtar, he wrote the following:
\"First I pulled back my hand until I realized that a group of people converted from Islam and invited the people toward annihilating the religion of Muhammad(s). So I feared that if I did not rush to help Islam and the Muslims, I would see gaps or destruction which calamity would be far worse than the several-day-long demise of caliphate.\"
In the six-man council, after appointment of \'Uthman by \'Abdul-Rahman ibn \'Awf, \'Ali (\'a) set forth his objection as well as his readiness for collaboration as follows:\"
You well know that I am more deserving than others for caliphate. But now by Allah, so long as the affairs of the Muslims are in order and my rivals suffice with setting me aside and only I am alone subjected to oppression, I will not oppose (the move) and will give in (to it).\" (From Sermon 72, \"Nahj al- Balaghah\").
These indicate that in this issue \'Ali (\'a) condemned the principle of \"all or none\". There is no need to further elaborate the approach taken by \'Ali (\'a) toward this issue. There are ample historical proofs and reasons in this regard.
\'Allamah Amini
Now it is time to see to which group the eminent \'Allamah, Ayatullah Amini - the distinguished compiler of the \"al-Ghadir\" - belonged and how he thought. Did he approve of the unity of the Muslims only within the light of Shi\'ism? Or did he consider Islamic fraternity to be broader? Did he believe that Islam which is embraced by uttering the \"shahadatayn\" (the Muslim creed) would willy-nilly create some rights for the Muslims and that the brotherhood and fraternity set forth in the Qur\'an exists among all Muslims?
\'Allamah Amini personally considered this point - i.e. the need to elucidate his viewpoint on this subject and elaborate whether\"al-Ghadir\" has a positive or a negative role in (the establishment of) Islamic unity. In order not to be subject to abuse by his opponent - be they among the pros and cons - he has repeatedly explained and elucidated his views.
\'Allamah Amini supported Islamic unity and viewed an open mind and clear insight. On different occasions, he set forth this matter in various volumes of the \"al-Ghadir\'. Reference will be made to some of them below:
In the preface to volume I, he briefly mentions the role of \"al-Ghadir\" in the world of Islam. He states: \"And we consider all this as service to religion, sublimation of the word of the truth, and restoration of the Islamic \'ummah\' (community).\"
In volume 3 (page 77), after quoting the fabrications of Ibn Taymiyah, Alusi, and Qasimi to the effect that Shi \'ism is hostile to some of the Ahl al-Bayt (the Household of the Prophet) such as Zayd bin \'Ali bin al-Huseyn, he notes the following under the title of \"Criticism and Correction\":
\"These fabrications and accusations sow the seeds of corruption, stir hostilities among the \'ummah\',create discord among the Islamic community, divide the \'ummah\', and clash with the public interests of the Muslims.
Again in volume 3 (page 268), he quotes the accusation leveled on the Shi\'ahs by Sayyid Muhammad Rashid Rida to the effect that \"Shi\'ahs are pleased with any defeat incurred by Muslims, so much as they celebrated the victory of the Russians over the Muslims.\" Then he says:
\"These falsehoods are fabricated by persons like Sayyid Muhammad Rashid Rida. The Shi\'ahs of Iran and Iraq against whom this accusation is leveled, as well as the orientalists, tourists, envoys of Islamic countries, and those who traveled and still travel to Iran and Iraq, have no information about this trend. Shi\'ahs, without exception, respect the lives, blood, reputation, and property of the Muslims be they Shi\'ahs or Sunnis. Whenever a calamity has befallen the Islamic community anywhere, in any region, and for any sects, the Shi\'ahs have shared their sorrow. The Shi\'ahs have never been confined to the Shi\'ah world, the (concept of) Islamic brotherhood which has been set forth in the Qur\'an and the \'sunnah\'(the Prophet\'s sayings and actions), and in this respect, no discrimination has been made between the Shi\'ahs and the Sunnis.\"
Also at the close of volume 3, he criticizes several books penned by the ancients such as \"Iqd al-Farid\" by Ibn Abd al-Rabbih, \"al-Intisar\" by Abu al-Husayn Khayyat al-Mu\'tazili,\"al Farq bayn al-Firaq\" by Abu Mansur al-Baghdadi, \"al-Fasl\" by Ibn Hazm al-Andulusi, \"al-Milal wa al-Nihal\" by Muhammad ibn Abdul-Karim al-Shahristani \"Minhaj al-Sunnah\" by Ibn Taymiah and \"al-Bidayah wa al-Nihayah\"by Ibn Kathir and several by the later writers such as \"Tarikh al-Umam al-Islamiyyah\" by Shaykh Muhammad Khizri, \"Fajr al Islam\" by Ahmad Amin, \"al-Jawlat fi Rubu al-Sharq al-Adna\" by Muhammad Thabit al-Mesri, \"al-Sira Bayn al-Islam wa al-Wathaniyah\" by Qasimi, and \"al- Washi\'ah\" by Musa Jarallah. Then he states the following:
\"By quoting and criticizing these books, we aim at warning and awakening the Islamic \'ummah\' (to the fact) that these books create the greatest danger for the Islamic community, they destabilize the Islamic unity and scatter the Muslim lines. In fact nothing can disrupt the ranks of the Muslims, destroy their unity, and tear their Islamic fraternity more severely than these books.\"
\'Allamah Amini, in the preface to volume 5, under title of\"Nazariyah Karimah\" on the occasion of a plaque of honor forwarded from Egypt for \"al-Ghadir\", clearly sets forth his view on this issue and leaves no room for any doubt. He remarks:
\"People are free to express views and ideas on religion. These (views and ideas) will never tear apart the bond of Islamic brotherhood to which the holy Qur\'an has referred by stating that \'surely the believers are brethren\'; even though academic discussion and theological and religious debates reach a peak. This has been the style of the predecessors, and of the \'sahaba\' and the\'tabi\'un\', at the head of them.
\"Notwithstanding all the differences that we have in the primary and secondary principles, we, the compilers and writers in nooks and corners of the world of Islam, share a common point and that is belief in the Almighty and His Prophet. A single spirit and one (form of) sentiment exists in all our bodies, and that is the spirit of Islam and the term\'ikhlas,\"
\"We, the Muslim compilers, all live under the banner of truth and carry out our duties under the guidance of the Qur\'an and the Prophetic Mission of the Holy Prophet (s). The message of all of us is \'Surely the (true) religion with Allah is Islam ... (3:18)\' and the slogan of all of us is \'There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is His Messenger.\' Indeed, we are (the members of) the party of Allah and the supporters of his religion.
In the preface to volume 8, under the title of \"al-Ghadir Yowahhad al-Sufuf fil-Mila al-Islami\", \'Allamah Amini directly makes researches into the role of \"Al- Ghadir\" in (the establishment of) Islamic unity. In this discussion, this great scholar categorically rejects the accusations leveled by those who said: \'Al-Ghadir\' causes greater discord among the Muslims. He proves that, on the contrary, \"Al-Ghadir\"removes many misunderstandings and brings the Muslims closer to one another. Then he brings evidence by mentioning the confessions of the non-Shi\'i Islamic scholars. At the close, he quotes the letter of Shaykh Muhammad Saeed Dahduh written in this connection.
To avoid prolongation of this article, we will not quote and translate the entire statements of \'Allamah Amini in explaining the positive role of \"al-Ghadir\" in (establishing) Islamic unity, since what has already been mentioned sufficiently proves this fact.
The positive role of \"al-Ghadir\" is established by the facts that it firstly clarifies the proven logic of the Shi\'ahs and proves that the inclination of Muslims to Shi\'ism - notwithstanding the poisonous publicity of some people - is not due to political, ethnic, or other trends and considerations. It also verifies that a powerful logic based on the Qur\'an and the \"sunnah\" has given rise to this tendency.
Secondly, it reflects that some accusations leveled on Shi\'ism - which have made other Muslims distanced from the Shi\'ah- are totally baseless and false. Examples of these accusations are the notion that the Shi\'ites prefer the non-Muslims to the non- Shi\'i Muslims, rejoice at the defeat of non-Shi\'ite Muslims at the hands of non-Muslims, and other accusations such as the idea that instead of going to hajj pilgrimage, the Shi\'ahs go on pilgrimage to shrines of the Imams, or have particular rites in prayers and in temporary marriage.
Thirdly, it introduces to the world of Islam the eminent Commander of the faithful \'Ali (\'a) who is the most oppressed and the least praised grand Islamic personality and who could be the leader of all Muslims, as well as his pure offspring.
Other Comments on \"al-Ghadir\"
Many unbiased non-Shia Muslims interpret the \"al-Ghadir\" in the same way that has already been mentioned.
Muhammad Abdul-Ghani Hasan al-Mesri, in his foreword on\"al-Ghadir\", which has been published in the preface to volume I, second edition, states:
\"I call on the Almighty to make your limpid brook (in Arabic, \'Ghadir\' means brook) the cause of peace and cordiality between the Shia and Sunni brothers to cooperate with one another in building the Islamic \"ummah.\"
\'Adil Ghadban, the managing editor of the Egyptian magazine entitled \"al-Kitab\", said the following in the preface to volume 3:
\"This book clarifies the Shi\'ite logic. The Sunnis can correctly learn about the Shi\'i through this book. Correct recognition of the Shi\'ahs brings the views of the Shi\'ahs and the Sunnis closer, and they can make a unified rank\".
In his foreword to the \"al-Ghadir\" which was published in thepreface to volume 4, Dr. Muhammad Ghallab, professor of philosophy at the Faculty of Religious Studies al-Azhar University said:
\"I got hold of your book at a very opportune time, because right now I am busy collecting and compiling a book on the lives of the Muslims from various perspectives. Therefore, I am highly avidfor obtaining sound information about \'Imamiyah\' Shi\'ism. Your book will help me. And I will not make mistakes about the Shi\'ahs as others have\".
In this foreword published in the preface to volume 4 of the\"al-Ghadir\", Dr. \'Abdul-Rahman Kiali Halabi says the following after referring to the decline of the Muslims in the present age and the factors which can lead to the Muslims\' salvation, one of which is the sound recognition of the successor of the Holy Prophet (s):
\"The book entitled \"al-Ghadir\" and its rich content deserves to be known by every Muslim to learn how historians have been negligent and see where the truth lies. Through this means, we should compensate for the past, and by striving to foster the unity of the Muslims, we should try to gain the due rewards\".
These were the views of \'Allamah Amini about the important social issues of our age and such were his sound reflections in the world of Islam.
Peace be upon him.

\"Al-Ghadir\" and its Relevance to Islamic Unity
________________________________________
Ayatullah Murtaza Mutahhari
Translated by Mojgan Jalali
Vol. 3, No. 1 and 2 (1417 AH/1996 CE)
The distinguished book entitled \"al-Ghadir\" has raised a huge wave in the world of Islam. Islamic thinkers shed light on the book in different perspectives; in literature, history, theology, tradition, tafsir, and sociology. From the social perspective we can deal with the Islamic unity. In this review the Islamic unity has been dealt with from a social point of view.
Contemporary Muslim thinkers and reformists are of the view that unity and solidarity of Muslims are the most imperative Islamic exigencies at the present juncture when the enemies have made extensive inroads upon the Islamic community and have tried to resort to different ways and means to spread the old differences and create new ones. We are aware that Islamic unity and fraternity is the focus of attention of the Holy Legislator of Islam and is actually the major objective pursued by this Divine religion as firmed by the Qur\'an, the \"Sunnah\", and the history of Islam.
For this reason, some people have been faced with this question: Wouldn\'t the compilation and publication of a book such as \"al-Ghadir\" which deals with the oldest issue of differences among the Muslims- create a barrier in the way of the sublime and lofty objective of the Islamic unity?

Or does it mean that the commonalties of all Islamic schools of thought should be taken up and their differences be put away to make up a new denomination which is not completely the same as the previous ones?

Muhammad Abdul-Ghani Hasan al-Mesri, in his foreword on\"al-Ghadir\", which has been published in the preface to volume I, second edition, states:
\"I call on the Almighty to make your limpid brook (in Arabic, \'Ghadir\' means brook) the cause of peace and cordiality between the Shia and Sunni brothers to cooperate with one another in building the Islamic \"ummah.\"
\'Adil Ghadban, the managing editor of the Egyptian magazine entitled \"al-Kitab\", said the following in the preface to volume 3:
\"This book clarifies the Shi\'ite logic. The Sunnis can correctly learn about the Shi\'i through this book. Correct recognition of the Shi\'ahs brings the views of the Shi\'ahs and the Sunnis closer, and they can make a unified rank\".
In his foreword to the \"al-Ghadir\" which was published in thepreface to volume 4, Dr. Muhammad Ghallab, professor of philosophy at the Faculty of Religious Studies al-Azhar University said:
\"I got hold of your book at a very opportune time, because right now I am busy collecting and compiling a book on the lives of the Muslims from various perspectives. Therefore, I am highly avidfor obtaining sound information about \'Imamiyah\' Shi\'ism. Your book will help me. And I will not make mistakes about the Shi\'ahs as others have\".
In this foreword published in the preface to volume 4 of the\"al-Ghadir\", Dr. \'Abdul-Rahman Kiali Halabi says the following after referring to the decline of the Muslims in the present age and the factors which can lead to the Muslims\' salvation, one of which is the sound recognition of the successor of the Holy Prophet (s):
\"The book entitled \"al-Ghadir\" and its rich content deserves to be known by every Muslim to learn how historians have been negligent and see where the truth lies. Through this means, we should compensate for the past, and by striving to foster the unity of the Muslims, we should try to gain the due rewards\".
These were the views of \'Allamah Amini about the important social issues of our age and such were his sound reflections in the world of Islam.
Peace be upon him.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was born in village of Aradan near city of Garmsar, southeast of Tehran in 1956. He is the fourth son of an ironworker who had seven children. Mahmoud and his family migrated to Tehran when he was one-year-old. He went to primary and high school in Tehran and got his diploma and was admitted to the University of Science and Technology (Elm-o-Sanaat) in the field of civil engineering after he ranked 132nd in the nationwide university entrance exams in 1975. He was accepted as an MS student at the same university in 1986 and became a member of the scientific board of the Civil Engineering College of University of Science and Technology. Later on he got his doctorate in 1987 in the field of engineering and traffic transportation planning. He is married with two sons and one daughter.
Following the 1979 Islamic revolution he became a member the conservative faction of the Office for Strengthening Unity [OSU] Between Universities and Theological Seminaries. The OSU was established by Ayatollah Mohammad Beheshti, one of Ayatollah Khomeini's key advisors, to organize Islamic students against the rapidly growing Islamic group of Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK).
With invasion of Iraq and start of the Iran-Iraq war in 1980, Ahmadinejad rushed to the western fronts to fight against the enemy and joined the voluntary (basij) forces of the Islamic Revolution's Guards Corps (IRGC). He served in different units of the Islamic Revolution Guards Engineering Corps.
He served as governor of Maku and Khoy cities in the northwestern West Azerbaijan province, and as an advisor to the governor general of the western province of Kurdistan for two years. While serving as the cultural advisor to then Ministry of Culture and Higher Education in 1993, he was appointed as governor general of the newly established northwestern province of Ardebil from 1993 to 1997. He was elected as the exemplary governor general for three consecutive years. But in 1997 the newly-installed Khatami administration removed Ahmadinejad from his post as Ardebil governor general. He returned to the University of Science and Technology (Elm-o-Sanaat) again to teach in 1997.
In April 2003 Ahmadinejad was appointed mayor of Tehran by the capital's municipal council, which is dominated by the hard-line Islamic Iran Developers Coalition (Etelaf-e Abadgaran-e Iran-e Islami). In some of Ahmadinejad's public statements, he has appeared to identify himself as a Developer. He lives a very Spartan lifestyle and that's how he projected himself. As Mayor, he reversed many of the policies of previous moderate and reformist mayors, placing serious religious emphasis on the activities of the cultural centers by turning them into prayer halls during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. He also suggested the burial of the bodies of martyrs of the Iran-Iraq war in major city squares of Tehran.
On 24 June 2005 Dr. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was elected as Iran's sixth president. He swept to the presidential post with a stunning 17,046,441 votes out of a total of 27,536,069 votes cast in the runoff election.
In the 2009 presidential election Ahmadinejad was nominated to run for the second term.
In the presidential election of 2009, 39,165,191 ballots were cast on 12th June, according to Iran's election headquarters. Ahmadinejad won 24,527,516 votes, (62.63%). In second place, Mir Hossein Mousavi won 13,216,411 (33.75%) of the votes. The election drew unprecedented public interest in Iran.
The election results remain in dispute as Mir Hossein Mousavi and his supporters who believe that electoral fraud occurred during the election. This popular belief ignited protests and demonstrations in the large cities with a united slogan of “Where is my vote”, which resulted in the birth of “Green Movement” of Iran.
Finally Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei formally endorsed Ahmadinejad as President on 3 August 2009, and Dr. Ahmadinejad was sworn in for a second term on 5 August 2009
Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran have agreed to expand socio-economic cooperation and more particularly neutralize foreign interference in this part of the world.
At the conclusion of a tripartite summit in Islamabad, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the regional cooperation will lead to an end to foreign interference, a reference to the US-led NATO military presence in Afghanistan.
The Iranian President said that the nuclear weapon do not empower any state and must be eliminated from political relations.
Howerver, Afghan President Hamid Karazi’s focus was to gain regional support for the Taliban talks, a reference to his demand to include Kabul in the talks between the US and Taliban.
Islamabad asserted that it would lend its support to President Karazi in any future Taliban talks. The Taliban have so far refused to negotiate with Kabul describing Karzai administration as the puppet.
The three neighboring countries also decided to step up their efforts to combat drug production and trafficking in Afghanistan, a particular source of concern for Pakistan.
The summit also decided to enhance trilateral trade through facilitative measures like preferential tariff and free trade arrangements and barter trade.
The three countries in their summit declaration sounded determined to ensure the territorial integrity and sovereignty of regional states.
This is a clear reference to the frequent US drone strikes in Pakistan's tribal region that have killed large number of civilians since 2004.
However, analysts believe more than any thing else, it depends on Islamabad if it is willing to scrap secret deals with Americans that allows them to carry out drone attacks in the tribal areas.

Rede von Zaynab bint Ali (a) an Yazeed ibn Muawiyya (l) - Arabic Sub German

Zaynab (a.) (bzw. Zainab) war die Tochter von Imam Ali (a.) und Fatima (a.) und die Schwester von Imam Hasan (a.) und Imam Husain (a.). Sie war die bedeutsame Heldin von Aschura.
Die Angaben über ihr Geburtsdatum schwanken, aber am häufigsten wird der 5. Dschumada al-Ula 6 n.d.H. (zuweilen 1. Schawwal) genannt. Ihr Geburtstag wird in der Islamischen Republik Iran als Tag der Krankenschwester begangen.
Zur Bedeutung des Namens \"Zaynab\" siehe Name Zaynab.
Der Grundstein ihrer Erziehung wurde vom Propheten Muhammad (s.) selbst und von ihrer Mutter Fatima (a.) gelegt. Auch ihr Vater Imam Ali (a.) hat später besondere Sorgfalt bei ihrer Erziehung aufgewendet, so dass sie zur Zeit seines Kalifats in Medina und Kufa wie auch lange über sein Ableben hinaus als bekannte Lehrerin wirkte, die nicht nur in der Auslegung des Heiligen Qur\'an und der Überlieferungen versiert war, sondern auch in Rechtsfragen als Autorität anerkannt wurde; in diesem Zusammenhang wurde sie auch als \"Stellvertreterin des Imam\" bezeichnet.
Besonders eng verbunden fühlte sich Zaynab (a.) nach dem Ableben ihres Bruders Imam Hasan (a.) mit ihrem Imam Husain (a.). Nach Rücksprache mit ihrem Ehemann Abdullah ibn Dschafar verließ sie ihre Familie und begleitete Imam Husain (a.) auf der Reise, die mit der Tragödie von Kerbela enden sollte. Sie musste erleben, wie Imam Husain (a.) und seine Begleiter von den Truppen des Kalifen der Umayyaden namens Yazid ibn Muawiya, vom Trinkwasser abgeschnitten und schließlich überfallen wurden, wobei die Angreifer am Tag von Aschura besonders brutal vorgingen. Imam Husains (a.) älterer Sohn Imam Zain-ul-Abidien (a.) überlebte das Gemetzel, weil er zu dieser Zeit krank war. Zaynab (a.) selbst verlor ihren Sohn Aun und Muhammad, den Sohn ihres Mannes. Sie hatte drei weitere Kinder: Ali, Umm Kulthum und Abbas.
Zaynab (a.) und die anderen Überlebenden wurden als Gefangene zunächst dem Gouverneur von Kufa Ibn Ziad vorgeführt. Dort hielt sie eine bis heute überlieferte Rede, in der sie ihm sein Verhalten vorwarf, und sie rettete durch ihre Intervention Imam Zain-ul-Abidien (a.) das Leben (siehe Rede Zaynabs (a.) in Kufa). Die Gefangenen wurden schließlich unter menschenunwürdigen Bedingungen nach Damaskus gebracht, wo Imam Husains (a.) Tochter Sukaina entkräftet im Gefängnis in den Armen ihrer Tante Zaynab (a.) starb. Noch einmal gelang Zaynab die Intervention, als Yazid den Kopf von Imam Zain-ul-Abidien (a.) forderte. In einer weiteren Rede vor dem Herrscher selbst stellte sie den wahren Sachverhalt dar und hielt ihm sein Unrecht vor, so dass Yazid schließlich durch den Druck der öffentlichen Meinung gezwungen war, die Gefangenen freizulassen und ihnen die Rückkehr nach Medina zu ermöglichen. Die Rede Zaynabs (a.) soll unmittelbar hinter der heutigen der Kanzel [minbar], an der Stelle, an der heute die Umayyaden-Moschee steht, erfolgt sein, wo zu ihren ehren Trauergesänge veranstaltet werden (siehe Bild).
Zaynab durfte unter dem Schutz von Numan ibn Baschir zurück nach Medina reisen, der ihr während der Reise allen Respekt gewährte. Es heißt, dass ein Umweg über Kerbela gewählt wurde, wo Imam Zain-ul-Abidin (a.) den Kopf Imam Husains (a.) mit zum Körper bestattete. Danach verliert sich die Spur Zaynabs in der Geschichte, so dass es drei Versionen für die verbleibende Lebenszeit von über einem Jahr gibt:
In der ersten Version verbleibt sie in Medina und stirbt auch dort, wobei unklar bleibt, wie ihr Leichnam dann nach Damaskus kam. In der zweiten Version ist Zaynab in Kairo begraben. Denn demnach wird sie vom Gouverneur von Medina unmittelbar nach ihrer Ankunft verbannt und vom Gouverneur von Ägypten Muslim ibn Machlid al-Ansari nach Al-Fastat (dem späteren Kairo), der damaligen Hauptstadt eingeladen. Demnach soll sie dort im Schaban 61 n.d.H. angekommen sein und dort fast ein Jahr später gestorben sein. Ihr dortiges Mausoleum liegt an einem Platz mit der Bezeichnung \"Al-Hamra as-Quswa\", wobei der Stadtteil nach ihr benannt wurde. Das Mausoleum wurde durch die Osmanen 951 n.d.H. (1547 n.Chr.) restauriert und erweitert.In der dritten Version reiste sie später zusammen zu ihrem Ehemann Abdullah ibn Dschafar zu dessen Ländereien in Schaam und starb während der Reise. Selbst diese Version erscheint aber als Vertuschung der Tatsache, dass sie wohl auch in Medina erneut gefangen genommen und nach Damaskus verschleppt wurde, wobei sie starb. Letzte Version gilt als die glaubwürdigste, wobei nicht ausgeschlossen ist, dass sie vorher auch in Ägypten war.
Auch über das Datum ihres Ableben gibt es verschiedene Überlieferungen. Am häufigsten wird genannt 15. Radschab. 62 n.d.H. (manchmal wird auch der 16. Dhul-Hidscha genannt), so dass sie mit 56 Jahren starb. Wie geschildert, gibt es gleich zwei Mausoleen, die beanspruchen, das Mausoleum Zaynabs zu seine, eines in Damaskus und eines in Ägypten, aber Schiiten glauben, dass sie in Damaskus begraben wurde.

Supreme Leader\\\\\\\'s Speech at Inauguration of Islamic Awakening and Ulama Conference
29/04/2013
The following is the full text of the speech delivered on April 29, 2013 by Ayatollah Khamenei the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution in a meeting at Inauguration of Islamic Awakening and Ulama Conference.
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
All praise belongs to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, and peace and greetings be upon our Master, Muhammad al-Mustafa, and upon his immaculate household, chosen companions and those who follow them well, until the Day of Judgment.
I welcome you honorable guests and I ask Almighty and Merciful God to bless this collective effort and make it an effective step towards happiness of Muslims. \\\\\\\"Surely He listens and responds.\\\\\\\"
Today the subject of Islamic Awakening, which you will discuss in this conference, tops the list of the issues of the Islamic world and the Islamic Ummah, an amazing phenomenon that will result in the re-emergence of Islamic civilization - for the Islamic Ummah and then for all of the world - in the not too distant future providing that, with Allah\\\\\\\'s permission, it stays healthy and continues.
Today what lies in front of our eyes and cannot be denied by any informed and intelligent individual is that the world of Islam has now emerged out of the sidelines of social and political equations of the world, that it has found a prominent and outstanding position at the center of decisive global events, and that it offers a fresh outlook on life, politics, government and social developments. This is considered an important and significant phenomenon in today\\\\\\\'s world, which is suffering from a deep intellectual and theoretical vacuum after the failure of communism and liberalism. This is the first sign of the political and revolutionary events in North Africa and the Arab region on a global scale, which itself is a harbinger of greater truths that will come to pass in the future.
Islamic Awakening, which speakers in the arrogant and reactionary camp do not even dare to mention in words, is a truth whose signs can be witnessed in almost all parts of the world of Islam. The most obvious sign of it is the enthusiasm of public opinion, especially among young people, to revive the glory and greatness of Islam, to become aware of the nature of the international order of domination and to remove the mask from the shameless, oppressive and arrogant face of the governments and centers that have been pressuring the Islamic and non-Islamic East in their clutches for more than two hundred years and have been exposing nations to their brutal and aggressive thirst for power disguised with the mask of civilization and culture.
The dimensions of this auspicious awakening are widespread and mysterious, but what was witnessed of its immediate outcomes in a few North African countries can make hearts confident about the great and amazing outcomes that will be achieved in the future. Miraculous fulfillment of divine promises is always a hope-inspiring sign that promises the fulfillment of greater promises. The Quranic account of the two promises that Allah the Exalted gave to the mother of Prophet Moses is an example of this divine tactic. At that difficult moment, when she was ordered to cast her baby in the river in a basket, Allah the Exalted said, \\\\\\\"Surely We will bring him back to you and make him one of the messengers.\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura al-Qasas, Ayah 7] The fulfillment of the first promise, which was the smaller promise and a cause for happiness for the mother, became the sign of the fulfillment of the promise of prophetic mission, which was far greater and of course, it required long-term suffering, struggle and patience: \\\\\\\"So We restored him to his mother that her eye might be refreshed, and that she might not grieve, and that she might know that the promise of Allah is true...\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura al-Qasas, Ayah 13] This true promise was the great mission which was fulfilled after many years and it changed the course of history.
Another example is the reminder about the overwhelming power of God to suppress the invaders of the Holy House: in order to encourage His audience through the Holy Prophet to submit to His order, Allah the Exalted makes use of this example \\\\\\\"so let them serve the Lord of this House\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura Quraysh, Ayah 3] and says, \\\\\\\"Did He not cause their war to end in confusion?\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura al-Fil, Ayah 2] Similarly, in order to raise the spirits of His beloved Prophet and convince him of the truth of the promise \\\\\\\"your Lord has not forsaken you, nor has He become displeased\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura ad-Dhuha, Ayah 3], Allah the Exalted gives the reminder about the miraculous blessing: \\\\\\\"Did He not find you an orphan and give you shelter? He found you astray and guided you.\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura ad-Dhuha, Ayah 6-7] And there are many such examples in the Holy Quran.
The day when Islam achieved victory in Iran and managed to capture the fort of America and Zionism in one of the most important countries in this extremely sensitive region, those who were wise and quick to learn realized that if they had patience and insight, other victories will come one after another.
The brilliant truths in the Islamic Republic, which are acknowledged by our enemies, have all been achieved in the shade of trust in divine promises, patience, resistance and asking God for assistance. In the face of temptations by weak people who, during tense times, shout \\\\\\\"we are sure to be overtaken,\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura ash-Shuara, Ayah 61] our people have always shouted \\\\\\\"by no means, my Lord is with me and soon will He guide me.\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura ash-Shuara, Ayah 62]
Today this is a precious experience that is available to the peoples who have stood up against arrogance and tyranny and have managed to overthrow and shake corrupt governments that are subservient to and dependent on America. Resistance, patience, insight and faith in the divine promise \\\\\\\"surely Allah will help him who helps His cause\\\\\\\" will pave this path of glory for the Islamic Ummah until it reaches the peak of Islamic civilization.
At this important meeting, which has been attended by a group of religious scholars of the Islamic Ummah from different Islamic countries and denominations, I believe it is appropriate to discuss a few necessary points regarding the issue of Islamic Awakening.
The first point is that the earliest waves of awakening in the countries of this region, which started simultaneously with the entry of the pioneers of colonialism, were mainly caused by religion and religious reformers. The names of outstanding leaders and personalities - such as Sayyid Jamal ad-Din, Muhammad Abduh, Mirza-e Shirazi, Akhund-e Khorasani, Mahmoud al-Hassan, Muhammad Ali, Sheikh Fazlollah, Hajj Agha Noorullah, Abul A\\\\\\\'la Maududi and tens of famous, great, mujahid and and influential clerics from Iran, Egypt, India and Iraq - have been recorded in history books forever. Similarly, in the contemporary era, the brilliant name of the great Imam Khomeini is shining like a brilliant star at the forefront of the Islamic Revolution. Meanwhile, today and in the past, hundreds of famous religious scholar and thousands of lesser-known religious scholars have played a role in great and small reform movements in different countries. The list of non-cleric religious reformers, such as Hassan al-Banna and Iqbal Lahori, is also long and amazing.
Almost everywhere, clerics and theologians have been the intellectual authority and spiritual support for the people and wherever they have appeared in the role of guides and pioneers at the time of great developments and have moved forward in the first rows of popular movements in the face of dangers, the intellectual bond between them and the people has been strengthened and they have played a significant role in showing the path to the people. This is as beneficial to the wave of Islamic Awakening as it is unpleasant and distressing to the enemies of the Islamic Ummah, those who bear grudges against Islam and those who are opposed to the rule of Islamic values, and they are trying to take away this intellectual authority from religious strongholds and create new centers for it. They have learned through experience that they can easily reach a compromise with these centers over national principles and values, and this is something that will never happen in the case of pious religious scholars and devoted religious personalities.
This makes the responsibility of religious scholars heavier. Through vigilance and caution and by identifying the enemy\\\\\\\'s deceptive methods and machinations, they should completely shut the door to infiltration and foil the enemy\\\\\\\'s plots. One of the greatest calamities is becoming attracted to the lure of worldly wealth. Exposure to the favors of wealthy and powerful people and being indebted to taghuts of lust and power are the most dangerous cause of separation from the people and loss of their trust and friendliness. Self-centeredness and thirst for power, which lure weak individuals towards developing an inclination to poles of power, prepare the ground for involvement in corruption and deviation. It is necessary to constantly keep this holy Quranic ayah in mind: \\\\\\\"(As for) that future abode, We assign it to those who have no desire to exalt themselves in the earth nor to make mischief and the good end is for those who guard (against evil).\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura al-Qasas, Ayah 83]
Today in the era of hope-inspiring movements of Islamic Awakening, sometimes certain things are witnessed which on the one hand, show the efforts by the agents of America and Zionism to create unreliable intellectual authorities and which on the other hand, show the efforts by debauched Qaruns to drag religious and pious people towards their poisoned and contaminated activities. Religious scholars and pious men should be extremely vigilant and careful.
The second point is the necessity of delineating a long-term goal for Islamic Awakening in Muslim countries, a noble aim that gives orientation to the awakening of nations and helps them reach a certain point. It is through identifying this particular point that one can prepare a roadmap and specify the medium- and short-term goals in it. This final goal cannot be anything less than creating a brilliant Islamic civilization. All parts of the Islamic Ummah - in the form of different nations and countries - should achieve the civilizational position that has been specified in the Holy Quran. The main and the general characteristic of this civilization is that it should allow human beings to utilize all the material and spiritual capacities that Allah the Exalted has bestowed on them and on the world in order to bring about happiness and transcendence for humanity. The surface structure of this civilization can and should be witnessed in popular government, in the laws that have been extracted from the Holy Quran, in identifying and addressing different needs of humanity, in avoidance of rigidity and reactionary attitudes as well as unwarranted innovation and adulteration, in creating public welfare and wealth, in establishing justice, in liberation from an economy that is based on special privileges, usury and taking pride in wealth, in promoting human values, in defending oppressed people in the world, and in hard work and innovation. Adopting an ijtihadi and scholarly outlook on different areas - ranging from humanities to the system of formal education, from economy and banking to technical and technological production, from modern media to art and cinema and to international relations and other areas - are all among the requirements for this civilization-building.
Experience has shown that all of these things are possible and within the capacities of Muslim communities. This outlook must not be treated with haste and pessimism. Being pessimistic about one\\\\\\\'s capabilities is ingratitude to God\\\\\\\'s blessings, and neglecting help from God and the laws of creation amounts to slipping into the morass of entertaining \\\\\\\"evil thoughts about Allah.\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura al-Fath, Ayah 6] We can break the chain of scientific, economic and political monopolies of the domineering powers and help the Islamic Ummah become the pioneer of restoring the rights of the majority of nations in the world, which have been dominated by a minority of arrogant powers.
Through religious faith, knowledge, ethics and constant struggle, Islamic civilization can gift advanced thought and noble codes of behavior to the Islamic Ummah and to the entire humanity, and it can be the point of liberation from materialistic and oppressive outlooks and corrupt codes of behavior that form the pillars of current Western civilization.
The third point is that in the movements of Islamic Awakening it is necessary to pay constant attention to the bitter and horrifying experience of following the West in politics, behavior and lifestyle.
In more than a century of following the culture and politics of the arrogant powers, Muslim countries suffered from deadly calamities such as political dependence and humiliation, economic plights and poverty, decline of moral virtues and ethics and shameful scientific backwardness, and this was while the Islamic Ummah enjoyed a glorious history in all of these areas.
This statement must not be interpreted as hostility towards the West. We are not hostile towards any group of human beings because of geographical differences. We have learnt lessons from Ali (greetings be upon him) who describes human beings in this way: \\\\\\\"Those who have the same religion as you, they are brothers to you, and those who have religions other than that of yours, they are human beings like you.\\\\\\\" Our complaint against oppression and arrogance and against bullying and transgression is the moral and practical degeneration that has been imposed on our nations by the colonial and arrogant powers. Currently, we can witness the bullying and interference of America and some of its followers in the region in the countries in which the breeze of awakening has turned into the storm of uprisings and revolutions. Their promises must not affect the decisions and actions of outstanding political personalities and the great movement of the people. In this case as well, we need to learn lessons from our experiences: those who pinned their hopes on the promises of America for years and based their behavior and policies on the inclination towards the oppressor did not manage to resolve any problems of their nations or eliminate an injustice to themselves or to others. By surrendering to America, they did not manage to prevent the demolition of even one single Palestinian home in a territory that belongs to the Palestinians. The politicians and outstanding personalities who are deceived by the bribe or intimidated by the threats of the camp of the arrogant powers and miss the great opportunity of Islamic Awakening should be apprehensive about this divine threat: \\\\\\\"Have you not seen those who have changed Allah\\\\\\\'s favor for ungratefulness and made their people to alight into the abode of perdition into hell? They shall enter into it and an evil place it is to settle in.\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura Ibrahim, Ayah 28-29]
The fourth point is that today one of the most dangerous things that threatens the movement of Islamic Awakening is the efforts to foment discord and turn these movements into bloody sectarian, ethnic and national conflicts. Currently, this plot is being seriously pursued by intelligence services of the West and Zionism with the help of petrodollars and bribed politicians from East Asia to North Africa and particularly in the Arab region. And the money that could have been spent to bring about happiness for mankind is being used to make threats, excommunicate, assassinate, bomb, shed Muslim blood and to kindle the fire of long-lasting grudges. Those who consider the unified power of Islam as an obstacle in the way of their evil goals have come to the conclusion that fanning the flames of conflicts inside the Islamic Ummah is the easiest way to achieve their satanic goal and they have used differences of opinion in Islamic jurisprudence, kalaam, history and hadith - which are natural and inevitable - as a pretext to excommunicate, shed blood and cause fitna and corruption.
A vigilant look at the scene of domestic conflicts clearly reveals the enemy\\\\\\\'s hands behind these tragedies. These deceptive hands undoubtedly take advantage of the ignorance, prejudice and superficiality that exists in our societies and they add fuel to the fire. The responsibility of religious and political reformers and outstanding personalities is very heavy in this regard.
Currently, Libya, Egypt and Tunisia, Syria, Pakistan, and Iraq and Lebanon are in one way or another involved in or exposed to these dangerous flames. It is necessary to be extremely careful and to look for a remedy. It would be naïve to think that all of these things are due to ideological and ethnic factors and motives. Propaganda campaigns of the West and dependent and mercenary media in the region pretend that the destructive war in Syria is a Shia-Sunni conflict and they create a safety margin for the Zionists and the enemies of resistance in Syria and Lebanon. This is while the two sides of the conflict in Syria are not Shia and Sunni, rather they are the supporters and opponents of anti-Zionist resistance. Neither the Syrian government is a Shia government, nor is the secular and anti-Islam opposition a Sunni group. The only achievement of the plotters of this calamitous scenario is that they have managed to make use of religious sentiments of simple-minded people to kindle this deadly fire. A look at the scene and those who are involved in it at different levels can clarify the issue for any just individual.
Also, in the case of Bahrain, this wave of propaganda is spreading lies and deception in another way. In Bahrain, the oppressed majority - who have been deprived of the right to vote as well as other fundamental rights that a nation should enjoy - have risen up to demand their rights. Should this be considered a Shia-Sunni conflict simply because the oppressed majority are Shia and the oppressive secular government pretends to be Sunni? Of course, the European and American colonialists and their friends in the region want to make things appear like this, but what is the truth?
These are the things that call religious scholars and just reformers to careful thinking and sense of responsibility and they make identification of the enemies\\\\\\\' goals behind highlighting sectarian, ethnic and partisan differences an obligation for everybody.
The fifth point is that one of the standards for judging whether Islamic Awakening movements are on the right path is the positions they adopt on the issue of Palestine. Since sixty years ago up until today, the occupation of Palestine has been the biggest tragedy that has been imposed on the Islamic Ummah.
Since the first day up until today, the tragedy of Palestine has been a combination of killings, assassinations, destruction, usurpation and transgression against what is held sacred in Islam. The necessity of putting up a resistance against this warring and usurping enemy and fighting him has been agreed upon by all Islamic denominations and all honest and healthy national currents. Any current in Islamic countries which disregards this religious and national responsibility out of consideration for the domineering demands of America or under the pretext of unreasonable justifications should not expect to be viewed as loyal to Islam and sincere in its nationalistic claims.
This is a test. Anybody who does not accept the slogan of liberating Holy Quds and saving the Palestinian nation and Palestinian territories or anybody who sidelines this slogan and turns his back on the camp of resistance, will be condemned. The Islamic Ummah should keep this clear and fundamental standard in mind everywhere and at all times.
Dear guests, brothers and sisters, never lose sight of the enemy\\\\\\\'s plot. Our lack of vigilance creates opportunities for our enemies.
The lesson that Ali (greetings be upon him) teaches us is that \\\\\\\"whoever is careless about his cause, his enemy will not sleep over this advantage...\\\\\\\" In this regard, our experience in the Islamic Republic is also a source of lessons. After the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, the arrogant Western governments and America - which had long established full control over Iranian taghuts and used to determine the political, economic and cultural destiny of our country and which had underestimated the enormous power of Islamic faith in society and remained unaware of the power of Islam and the Holy Quran to deploy forces and to guide - suddenly realized that they had been unaware and their governmental organizations, intelligence services and control rooms resumed work in order to make up for the overwhelming defeat they had suffered.
We have witnessed various kinds of machinations from them over the past thirty-something years. In essence, there have been two factors that have foiled their plots: insistence on Islamic principles and presence of the people on the scene. These two factors are the key to the problems everywhere. The first factor is guaranteed by sincere religious faith in divine promises and the second factor is guaranteed by sincere efforts and honest clarification. A nation that has faith in the honesty and sincerity of its leaders will bring in enthusiasm with their blessed presence, and wherever a nation stays on the scene with a solid determination, no power will have the capability to defeat it. This is a successful experience for all the nations that gave rise to Islamic Awakening through their presence.
I pray to Allah the Exalted to bestow His guidance, assistance and mercy on you and on all Muslim nations.
Greetings be upon you and Allah\\\\\\\'s mercy

Description:
Supreme Leader\\\\\\\'s Speech at Inauguration of Islamic Awakening and Ulama Conference
29/04/2013
The following is the full text of the speech delivered on April 29, 2013 by Ayatollah Khamenei the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution in a meeting at Inauguration of Islamic Awakening and Ulama Conference.
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
All praise belongs to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, and peace and greetings be upon our Master, Muhammad al-Mustafa, and upon his immaculate household, chosen companions and those who follow them well, until the Day of Judgment.
I welcome you honorable guests and I ask Almighty and Merciful God to bless this collective effort and make it an effective step towards happiness of Muslims. \\\\\\\"Surely He listens and responds.\\\\\\\"
Today the subject of Islamic Awakening, which you will discuss in this conference, tops the list of the issues of the Islamic world and the Islamic Ummah, an amazing phenomenon that will result in the re-emergence of Islamic civilization - for the Islamic Ummah and then for all of the world - in the not too distant future providing that, with Allah\\\\\\\'s permission, it stays healthy and continues.
Today what lies in front of our eyes and cannot be denied by any informed and intelligent individual is that the world of Islam has now emerged out of the sidelines of social and political equations of the world, that it has found a prominent and outstanding position at the center of decisive global events, and that it offers a fresh outlook on life, politics, government and social developments. This is considered an important and significant phenomenon in today\\\\\\\'s world, which is suffering from a deep intellectual and theoretical vacuum after the failure of communism and liberalism. This is the first sign of the political and revolutionary events in North Africa and the Arab region on a global scale, which itself is a harbinger of greater truths that will come to pass in the future.
Islamic Awakening, which speakers in the arrogant and reactionary camp do not even dare to mention in words, is a truth whose signs can be witnessed in almost all parts of the world of Islam. The most obvious sign of it is the enthusiasm of public opinion, especially among young people, to revive the glory and greatness of Islam, to become aware of the nature of the international order of domination and to remove the mask from the shameless, oppressive and arrogant face of the governments and centers that have been pressuring the Islamic and non-Islamic East in their clutches for more than two hundred years and have been exposing nations to their brutal and aggressive thirst for power disguised with the mask of civilization and culture.
The dimensions of this auspicious awakening are widespread and mysterious, but what was witnessed of its immediate outcomes in a few North African countries can make hearts confident about the great and amazing outcomes that will be achieved in the future. Miraculous fulfillment of divine promises is always a hope-inspiring sign that promises the fulfillment of greater promises. The Quranic account of the two promises that Allah the Exalted gave to the mother of Prophet Moses is an example of this divine tactic. At that difficult moment, when she was ordered to cast her baby in the river in a basket, Allah the Exalted said, \\\\\\\"Surely We will bring him back to you and make him one of the messengers.\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura al-Qasas, Ayah 7] The fulfillment of the first promise, which was the smaller promise and a cause for happiness for the mother, became the sign of the fulfillment of the promise of prophetic mission, which was far greater and of course, it required long-term suffering, struggle and patience: \\\\\\\"So We restored him to his mother that her eye might be refreshed, and that she might not grieve, and that she might know that the promise of Allah is true...\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura al-Qasas, Ayah 13] This true promise was the great mission which was fulfilled after many years and it changed the course of history.
Another example is the reminder about the overwhelming power of God to suppress the invaders of the Holy House: in order to encourage His audience through the Holy Prophet to submit to His order, Allah the Exalted makes use of this example \\\\\\\"so let them serve the Lord of this House\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura Quraysh, Ayah 3] and says, \\\\\\\"Did He not cause their war to end in confusion?\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura al-Fil, Ayah 2] Similarly, in order to raise the spirits of His beloved Prophet and convince him of the truth of the promise \\\\\\\"your Lord has not forsaken you, nor has He become displeased\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura ad-Dhuha, Ayah 3], Allah the Exalted gives the reminder about the miraculous blessing: \\\\\\\"Did He not find you an orphan and give you shelter? He found you astray and guided you.\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura ad-Dhuha, Ayah 6-7] And there are many such examples in the Holy Quran.
The day when Islam achieved victory in Iran and managed to capture the fort of America and Zionism in one of the most important countries in this extremely sensitive region, those who were wise and quick to learn realized that if they had patience and insight, other victories will come one after another.
The brilliant truths in the Islamic Republic, which are acknowledged by our enemies, have all been achieved in the shade of trust in divine promises, patience, resistance and asking God for assistance. In the face of temptations by weak people who, during tense times, shout \\\\\\\"we are sure to be overtaken,\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura ash-Shuara, Ayah 61] our people have always shouted \\\\\\\"by no means, my Lord is with me and soon will He guide me.\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura ash-Shuara, Ayah 62]
Today this is a precious experience that is available to the peoples who have stood up against arrogance and tyranny and have managed to overthrow and shake corrupt governments that are subservient to and dependent on America. Resistance, patience, insight and faith in the divine promise \\\\\\\"surely Allah will help him who helps His cause\\\\\\\" will pave this path of glory for the Islamic Ummah until it reaches the peak of Islamic civilization.
At this important meeting, which has been attended by a group of religious scholars of the Islamic Ummah from different Islamic countries and denominations, I believe it is appropriate to discuss a few necessary points regarding the issue of Islamic Awakening.
The first point is that the earliest waves of awakening in the countries of this region, which started simultaneously with the entry of the pioneers of colonialism, were mainly caused by religion and religious reformers. The names of outstanding leaders and personalities - such as Sayyid Jamal ad-Din, Muhammad Abduh, Mirza-e Shirazi, Akhund-e Khorasani, Mahmoud al-Hassan, Muhammad Ali, Sheikh Fazlollah, Hajj Agha Noorullah, Abul A\\\\\\\'la Maududi and tens of famous, great, mujahid and and influential clerics from Iran, Egypt, India and Iraq - have been recorded in history books forever. Similarly, in the contemporary era, the brilliant name of the great Imam Khomeini is shining like a brilliant star at the forefront of the Islamic Revolution. Meanwhile, today and in the past, hundreds of famous religious scholar and thousands of lesser-known religious scholars have played a role in great and small reform movements in different countries. The list of non-cleric religious reformers, such as Hassan al-Banna and Iqbal Lahori, is also long and amazing.
Almost everywhere, clerics and theologians have been the intellectual authority and spiritual support for the people and wherever they have appeared in the role of guides and pioneers at the time of great developments and have moved forward in the first rows of popular movements in the face of dangers, the intellectual bond between them and the people has been strengthened and they have played a significant role in showing the path to the people. This is as beneficial to the wave of Islamic Awakening as it is unpleasant and distressing to the enemies of the Islamic Ummah, those who bear grudges against Islam and those who are opposed to the rule of Islamic values, and they are trying to take away this intellectual authority from religious strongholds and create new centers for it. They have learned through experience that they can easily reach a compromise with these centers over national principles and values, and this is something that will never happen in the case of pious religious scholars and devoted religious personalities.
This makes the responsibility of religious scholars heavier. Through vigilance and caution and by identifying the enemy\\\\\\\'s deceptive methods and machinations, they should completely shut the door to infiltration and foil the enemy\\\\\\\'s plots. One of the greatest calamities is becoming attracted to the lure of worldly wealth. Exposure to the favors of wealthy and powerful people and being indebted to taghuts of lust and power are the most dangerous cause of separation from the people and loss of their trust and friendliness. Self-centeredness and thirst for power, which lure weak individuals towards developing an inclination to poles of power, prepare the ground for involvement in corruption and deviation. It is necessary to constantly keep this holy Quranic ayah in mind: \\\\\\\"(As for) that future abode, We assign it to those who have no desire to exalt themselves in the earth nor to make mischief and the good end is for those who guard (against evil).\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura al-Qasas, Ayah 83]
Today in the era of hope-inspiring movements of Islamic Awakening, sometimes certain things are witnessed which on the one hand, show the efforts by the agents of America and Zionism to create unreliable intellectual authorities and which on the other hand, show the efforts by debauched Qaruns to drag religious and pious people towards their poisoned and contaminated activities. Religious scholars and pious men should be extremely vigilant and careful.
The second point is the necessity of delineating a long-term goal for Islamic Awakening in Muslim countries, a noble aim that gives orientation to the awakening of nations and helps them reach a certain point. It is through identifying this particular point that one can prepare a roadmap and specify the medium- and short-term goals in it. This final goal cannot be anything less than creating a brilliant Islamic civilization. All parts of the Islamic Ummah - in the form of different nations and countries - should achieve the civilizational position that has been specified in the Holy Quran. The main and the general characteristic of this civilization is that it should allow human beings to utilize all the material and spiritual capacities that Allah the Exalted has bestowed on them and on the world in order to bring about happiness and transcendence for humanity. The surface structure of this civilization can and should be witnessed in popular government, in the laws that have been extracted from the Holy Quran, in identifying and addressing different needs of humanity, in avoidance of rigidity and reactionary attitudes as well as unwarranted innovation and adulteration, in creating public welfare and wealth, in establishing justice, in liberation from an economy that is based on special privileges, usury and taking pride in wealth, in promoting human values, in defending oppressed people in the world, and in hard work and innovation. Adopting an ijtihadi and scholarly outlook on different areas - ranging from humanities to the system of formal education, from economy and banking to technical and technological production, from modern media to art and cinema and to international relations and other areas - are all among the requirements for this civilization-building.
Experience has shown that all of these things are possible and within the capacities of Muslim communities. This outlook must not be treated with haste and pessimism. Being pessimistic about one\\\\\\\'s capabilities is ingratitude to God\\\\\\\'s blessings, and neglecting help from God and the laws of creation amounts to slipping into the morass of entertaining \\\\\\\"evil thoughts about Allah.\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura al-Fath, Ayah 6] We can break the chain of scientific, economic and political monopolies of the domineering powers and help the Islamic Ummah become the pioneer of restoring the rights of the majority of nations in the world, which have been dominated by a minority of arrogant powers.
Through religious faith, knowledge, ethics and constant struggle, Islamic civilization can gift advanced thought and noble codes of behavior to the Islamic Ummah and to the entire humanity, and it can be the point of liberation from materialistic and oppressive outlooks and corrupt codes of behavior that form the pillars of current Western civilization.
The third point is that in the movements of Islamic Awakening it is necessary to pay constant attention to the bitter and horrifying experience of following the West in politics, behavior and lifestyle.
In more than a century of following the culture and politics of the arrogant powers, Muslim countries suffered from deadly calamities such as political dependence and humiliation, economic plights and poverty, decline of moral virtues and ethics and shameful scientific backwardness, and this was while the Islamic Ummah enjoyed a glorious history in all of these areas.
This statement must not be interpreted as hostility towards the West. We are not hostile towards any group of human beings because of geographical differences. We have learnt lessons from Ali (greetings be upon him) who describes human beings in this way: \\\\\\\"Those who have the same religion as you, they are brothers to you, and those who have religions other than that of yours, they are human beings like you.\\\\\\\" Our complaint against oppression and arrogance and against bullying and transgression is the moral and practical degeneration that has been imposed on our nations by the colonial and arrogant powers. Currently, we can witness the bullying and interference of America and some of its followers in the region in the countries in which the breeze of awakening has turned into the storm of uprisings and revolutions. Their promises must not affect the decisions and actions of outstanding political personalities and the great movement of the people.

By surrendering to America, they did not manage to prevent the demolition of even one single Palestinian home in a territory that belongs to the Palestinians. The politicians and outstanding personalities who are deceived by the bribe or intimidated by the threats of the camp of the arrogant powers and miss the great opportunity of Islamic Awakening should be apprehensive about this divine threat: \\\\\\\"Have you not seen those who have changed Allah\\\\\\\'s favor for ungratefulness and made their people to alight into the abode of perdition into hell? They shall enter into it and an evil place it is to settle in.\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura Ibrahim, Ayah 28-29]
The fourth point is that today one of the most dangerous things that threatens the movement of Islamic Awakening is the efforts to foment discord and turn these movements into bloody sectarian, ethnic and national conflicts. Currently, this plot is being seriously pursued by intelligence services of the West and Zionism with the help of petrodollars and bribed politicians from East Asia to North Africa and particularly in the Arab region. And the money that could have been spent to bring about happiness for mankind is being used to make threats, excommunicate, assassinate, bomb, shed Muslim blood and to kindle the fire of long-lasting grudges. Those who consider the unified power of Islam as an obstacle in the way of their evil goals have come to the conclusion that fanning the flames of conflicts inside the Islamic Ummah is the easiest way to achieve their satanic goal and they have used differences of opinion in Islamic jurisprudence, kalaam, history and hadith - which are natural and inevitable - as a pretext to excommunicate, shed blood and cause fitna and corruption.
A vigilant look at the scene of domestic conflicts clearly reveals the enemy\\\\\\\'s hands behind these tragedies. These deceptive hands undoubtedly take advantage of the ignorance, prejudice and superficiality that exists in our societies and they add fuel to the fire. The responsibility of religious and political reformers and outstanding personalities is very heavy in this regard.
Currently, Libya, Egypt and Tunisia, Syria, Pakistan, and Iraq and Lebanon are in one way or another involved in or exposed to these dangerous flames. It is necessary to be extremely careful and to look for a remedy. It would be naïve to think that all of these things are due to ideological and ethnic factors and motives. Propaganda campaigns of the West and dependent and mercenary media in the region pretend that the destructive war in Syria is a Shia-Sunni conflict and they create a safety margin for the Zionists and the enemies of resistance in Syria and Lebanon. This is while the two sides of the conflict in Syria are not Shia and Sunni, rather they are the supporters and opponents of anti-Zionist resistance. Neither the Syrian government is a Shia government, nor is the secular and anti-Islam opposition a Sunni group. The only achievement of the plotters of this calamitous scenario is that they have managed to make use of religious sentiments of simple-minded people to kindle this deadly fire. A look at the scene and those who are involved in it at different levels can clarify the issue for any just individual.
Also, in the case of Bahrain, this wave of propaganda is spreading lies and deception in another way. In Bahrain, the oppressed majority - who have been deprived of the right to vote as well as other fundamental rights that a nation should enjoy - have risen up to demand their rights. Should this be considered a Shia-Sunni conflict simply because the oppressed majority are Shia and the oppressive secular government pretends to be Sunni? Of course, the European and American colonialists and their friends in the region want to make things appear like this, but what is the truth?
These are the things that call religious scholars and just reformers to careful thinking and sense of responsibility and they make identification of the enemies\\\\\\\' goals behind highlighting sectarian, ethnic and partisan differences an obligation for everybody.
The fifth point is that one of the standards for judging whether Islamic Awakening movements are on the right path is the positions they adopt on the issue of Palestine. Since sixty years ago up until today, the occupation of Palestine has been the biggest tragedy that has been imposed on the Islamic Ummah.
Since the first day up until today, the tragedy of Palestine has been a combination of killings, assassinations, destruction, usurpation and transgression against what is held sacred in Islam. The necessity of putting up a resistance against this warring and usurping enemy and fighting him has been agreed upon by all Islamic denominations and all honest and healthy national currents. Any current in Islamic countries which disregards this religious and national responsibility out of consideration for the domineering demands of America or under the pretext of unreasonable justifications should not expect to be viewed as loyal to Islam and sincere in its nationalistic claims.
This is a test. Anybody who does not accept the slogan of liberating Holy Quds and saving the Palestinian nation and Palestinian territories or anybody who sidelines this slogan and turns his back on the camp of resistance, will be condemned. The Islamic Ummah should keep this clear and fundamental standard in mind everywhere and at all times.

A nation that has faith in the honesty and sincerity of its leaders will bring in enthusiasm with their blessed presence, and wherever a nation stays on the scene with a solid determination, no power will have the capability to defeat it. This is a successful experience for all the nations that gave rise to Islamic Awakening through their presence.
I pray to Allah the Exalted to bestow His guidance, assistance and mercy on you and on all Muslim nations.
Greetings be upon you and Allah\\\\\\\'s mercy

Today what lies in front of our eyes and cannot be denied by any informed and intelligent individual is that the world of Islam has now emerged out of the sidelines of social and political equations of the world, that it has found a prominent and outstanding position at the center of decisive global events, and that it offers a fresh outlook on life, politics, government and social developments. This is considered an important and significant phenomenon in today\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s world, which is suffering from a deep intellectual and theoretical vacuum after the failure of communism and liberalism. This is the first sign of the political and revolutionary events in North Africa and the Arab region on a global scale, which itself is a harbinger of greater truths that will come to pass in the future.
Islamic Awakening, which speakers in the arrogant and reactionary camp do not even dare to mention in words, is a truth whose signs can be witnessed in almost all parts of the world of Islam. The most obvious sign of it is the enthusiasm of public opinion, especially among young people, to revive the glory and greatness of Islam, to become aware of the nature of the international order of domination and to remove the mask from the shameless, oppressive and arrogant face of the governments and centers that have been pressuring the Islamic and non-Islamic East in their clutches for more than two hundred years and have been exposing nations to their brutal and aggressive thirst for power disguised with the mask of civilization and culture.
The dimensions of this auspicious awakening are widespread and mysterious, but what was witnessed of its immediate outcomes in a few North African countries can make hearts confident about the great and amazing outcomes that will be achieved in the future. Miraculous fulfillment of divine promises is always a hope-inspiring sign that promises the fulfillment of greater promises. The Quranic account of the two promises that Allah the Exalted gave to the mother of Prophet Moses is an example of this divine tactic. At that difficult moment, when she was ordered to cast her baby in the river in a basket, Allah the Exalted said, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Surely We will bring him back to you and make him one of the messengers.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura al-Qasas, Ayah 7] The fulfillment of the first promise, which was the smaller promise and a cause for happiness for the mother, became the sign of the fulfillment of the promise of prophetic mission, which was far greater and of course, it required long-term suffering, struggle and patience: \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"So We restored him to his mother that her eye might be refreshed, and that she might not grieve, and that she might know that the promise of Allah is true...\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura al-Qasas, Ayah 13] This true promise was the great mission which was fulfilled after many years and it changed the course of history.
Another example is the reminder about the overwhelming power of God to suppress the invaders of the Holy House: in order to encourage His audience through the Holy Prophet to submit to His order, Allah the Exalted makes use of this example \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"so let them serve the Lord of this House\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura Quraysh, Ayah 3] and says, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Did He not cause their war to end in confusion?\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura al-Fil, Ayah 2] Similarly, in order to raise the spirits of His beloved Prophet and convince him of the truth of the promise \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"your Lord has not forsaken you, nor has He become displeased\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura ad-Dhuha, Ayah 3], Allah the Exalted gives the reminder about the miraculous blessing: \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Did He not find you an orphan and give you shelter? He found you astray and guided you.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura ad-Dhuha, Ayah 6-7] And there are many such examples in the Holy Quran.
The day when Islam achieved victory in Iran and managed to capture the fort of America and Zionism in one of the most important countries in this extremely sensitive region, those who were wise and quick to learn realized that if they had patience and insight, other victories will come one after another.
The brilliant truths in the Islamic Republic, which are acknowledged by our enemies, have all been achieved in the shade of trust in divine promises, patience, resistance and asking God for assistance. In the face of temptations by weak people who, during tense times, shout \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"we are sure to be overtaken,\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura ash-Shuara, Ayah 61] our people have always shouted \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"by no means, my Lord is with me and soon will He guide me.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura ash-Shuara, Ayah 62]
Today this is a precious experience that is available to the peoples who have stood up against arrogance and tyranny and have managed to overthrow and shake corrupt governments that are subservient to and dependent on America. Resistance, patience, insight and faith in the divine promise \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"surely Allah will help him who helps His cause\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" will pave this path of glory for the Islamic Ummah until it reaches the peak of Islamic civilization.
At this important meeting, which has been attended by a group of religious scholars of the Islamic Ummah from different Islamic countries and denominations, I believe it is appropriate to discuss a few necessary points regarding the issue of Islamic Awakening.
The first point is that the earliest waves of awakening in the countries of this region, which started simultaneously with the entry of the pioneers of colonialism, were mainly caused by religion and religious reformers. The names of outstanding leaders and personalities - such as Sayyid Jamal ad-Din, Muhammad Abduh, Mirza-e Shirazi, Akhund-e Khorasani, Mahmoud al-Hassan, Muhammad Ali, Sheikh Fazlollah, Hajj Agha Noorullah, Abul A\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'la Maududi and tens of famous, great, mujahid and and influential clerics from Iran, Egypt, India and Iraq - have been recorded in history books forever. Similarly, in the contemporary era, the brilliant name of the great Imam Khomeini is shining like a brilliant star at the forefront of the Islamic Revolution. Meanwhile, today and in the past, hundreds of famous religious scholar and thousands of lesser-known religious scholars have played a role in great and small reform movements in different countries. The list of non-cleric religious reformers, such as Hassan al-Banna and Iqbal Lahori, is also long and amazing.
Almost everywhere, clerics and theologians have been the intellectual authority and spiritual support for the people and wherever they have appeared in the role of guides and pioneers at the time of great developments and have moved forward in the first rows of popular movements in the face of dangers, the intellectual bond between them and the people has been strengthened and they have played a significant role in showing the path to the people. This is as beneficial to the wave of Islamic Awakening as it is unpleasant and distressing to the enemies of the Islamic Ummah, those who bear grudges against Islam and those who are opposed to the rule of Islamic values, and they are trying to take away this intellectual authority from religious strongholds and create new centers for it. They have learned through experience that they can easily reach a compromise with these centers over national principles and values, and this is something that will never happen in the case of pious religious scholars and devoted religious personalities.
This makes the responsibility of religious scholars heavier. Through vigilance and caution and by identifying the enemy\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s deceptive methods and machinations, they should completely shut the door to infiltration and foil the enemy\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s plots. One of the greatest calamities is becoming attracted to the lure of worldly wealth. Exposure to the favors of wealthy and powerful people and being indebted to taghuts of lust and power are the most dangerous cause of separation from the people and loss of their trust and friendliness. Self-centeredness and thirst for power, which lure weak individuals towards developing an inclination to poles of power, prepare the ground for involvement in corruption and deviation. It is necessary to constantly keep this holy Quranic ayah in mind: \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"(As for) that future abode, We assign it to those who have no desire to exalt themselves in the earth nor to make mischief and the good end is for those who guard (against evil).\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura al-Qasas, Ayah 83]
Today in the era of hope-inspiring movements of Islamic Awakening, sometimes certain things are witnessed which on the one hand, show the efforts by the agents of America and Zionism to create unreliable intellectual authorities and which on the other hand, show the efforts by debauched Qaruns to drag religious and pious people towards their poisoned and contaminated activities. Religious scholars and pious men should be extremely vigilant and careful.
The second point is the necessity of delineating a long-term goal for Islamic Awakening in Muslim countries, a noble aim that gives orientation to the awakening of nations and helps them reach a certain point. It is through identifying this particular point that one can prepare a roadmap and specify the medium- and short-term goals in it. This final goal cannot be anything less than creating a brilliant Islamic civilization. All parts of the Islamic Ummah - in the form of different nations and countries - should achieve the civilizational position that has been specified in the Holy Quran. The main and the general characteristic of this civilization is that it should allow human beings to utilize all the material and spiritual capacities that Allah the Exalted has bestowed on them and on the world in order to bring about happiness and transcendence for humanity. The surface structure of this civilization can and should be witnessed in popular government, in the laws that have been extracted from the Holy Quran, in identifying and addressing different needs of humanity, in avoidance of rigidity and reactionary attitudes as well as unwarranted innovation and adulteration, in creating public welfare and wealth, in establishing justice, in liberation from an economy that is based on special privileges, usury and taking pride in wealth, in promoting human values, in defending oppressed people in the world, and in hard work and innovation. Adopting an ijtihadi and scholarly outlook on different areas - ranging from humanities to the system of formal education, from economy and banking to technical and technological production, from modern media to art and cinema and to international relations and other areas - are all among the requirements for this civilization-building.
Experience has shown that all of these things are possible and within the capacities of Muslim communities. This outlook must not be treated with haste and pessimism. Being pessimistic about one\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s capabilities is ingratitude to God\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s blessings, and neglecting help from God and the laws of creation amounts to slipping into the morass of entertaining \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"evil thoughts about Allah.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura al-Fath, Ayah 6] We can break the chain of scientific, economic and political monopolies of the domineering powers and help the Islamic Ummah become the pioneer of restoring the rights of the majority of nations in the world, which have been dominated by a minority of arrogant powers.
Through religious faith, knowledge, ethics and constant struggle, Islamic civilization can gift advanced thought and noble codes of behavior to the Islamic Ummah and to the entire humanity, and it can be the point of liberation from materialistic and oppressive outlooks and corrupt codes of behavior that form the pillars of current Western civilization.
The third point is that in the movements of Islamic Awakening it is necessary to pay constant attention to the bitter and horrifying experience of following the West in politics, behavior and lifestyle.
In more than a century of following the culture and politics of the arrogant powers, Muslim countries suffered from deadly calamities such as political dependence and humiliation, economic plights and poverty, decline of moral virtues and ethics and shameful scientific backwardness, and this was while the Islamic Ummah enjoyed a glorious history in all of these areas.
This statement must not be interpreted as hostility towards the West. We are not hostile towards any group of human beings because of geographical differences. We have learnt lessons from Ali (greetings be upon him) who describes human beings in this way: \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Those who have the same religion as you, they are brothers to you, and those who have religions other than that of yours, they are human beings like you.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" Our complaint against oppression and arrogance and against bullying and transgression is the moral and practical degeneration that has been imposed on our nations by the colonial and arrogant powers. Currently, we can witness the bullying and interference of America and some of its followers in the region in the countries in which the breeze of awakening has turned into the storm of uprisings and revolutions. Their promises must not affect the decisions and actions of outstanding political personalities and the great movement of the people. In this case as well, we need to learn lessons from our experiences: those who pinned their hopes on the promises of America for years and based their behavior and policies on the inclination towards the oppressor did not manage to resolve any problems of their nations or eliminate an injustice to themselves or to others. By surrendering to America, they did not manage to prevent the demolition of even one single Palestinian home in a territory that belongs to the Palestinians. The politicians and outstanding personalities who are deceived by the bribe or intimidated by the threats of the camp of the arrogant powers and miss the great opportunity of Islamic Awakening should be apprehensive about this divine threat: \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Have you not seen those who have changed Allah\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s favor for ungratefulness and made their people to alight into the abode of perdition into hell? They shall enter into it and an evil place it is to settle in.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura Ibrahim, Ayah 28-29]
The fourth point is that today one of the most dangerous things that threatens the movement of Islamic Awakening is the efforts to foment discord and turn these movements into bloody sectarian, ethnic and national conflicts. Currently, this plot is being seriously pursued by intelligence services of the West and Zionism with the help of petrodollars and bribed politicians from East Asia to North Africa and particularly in the Arab region. And the money that could have been spent to bring about happiness for mankind is being used to make threats, excommunicate, assassinate, bomb, shed Muslim blood and to kindle the fire of long-lasting grudges. Those who consider the unified power of Islam as an obstacle in the way of their evil goals have come to the conclusion that fanning the flames of conflicts inside the Islamic Ummah is the easiest way to achieve their satanic goal and they have used differences of opinion in Islamic jurisprudence, kalaam, history and hadith - which are natural and inevitable - as a pretext to excommunicate, shed blood and cause fitna and corruption.
A vigilant look at the scene of domestic conflicts clearly reveals the enemy\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s hands behind these tragedies. These deceptive hands undoubtedly take advantage of the ignorance, prejudice and superficiality that exists in our societies and they add fuel to the fire. The responsibility of religious and political reformers and outstanding personalities is very heavy in this regard.
Currently, Libya, Egypt and Tunisia, Syria, Pakistan, and Iraq and Lebanon are in one way or another involved in or exposed to these dangerous flames. It is necessary to be extremely careful and to look for a remedy. It would be naïve to think that all of these things are due to ideological and ethnic factors and motives. Propaganda campaigns of the West and dependent and mercenary media in the region pretend that the destructive war in Syria is a Shia-Sunni conflict and they create a safety margin for the Zionists and the enemies of resistance in Syria and Lebanon. This is while the two sides of the conflict in Syria are not Shia and Sunni, rather they are the supporters and opponents of anti-Zionist resistance. Neither the Syrian government is a Shia government, nor is the secular and anti-Islam opposition a Sunni group. The only achievement of the plotters of this calamitous scenario is that they have managed to make use of religious sentiments of simple-minded people to kindle this deadly fire. A look at the scene and those who are involved in it at different levels can clarify the issue for any just individual.
Also, in the case of Bahrain, this wave of propaganda is spreading lies and deception in another way. In Bahrain, the oppressed majority - who have been deprived of the right to vote as well as other fundamental rights that a nation should enjoy - have risen up to demand their rights. Should this be considered a Shia-Sunni conflict simply because the oppressed majority are Shia and the oppressive secular government pretends to be Sunni? Of course, the European and American colonialists and their friends in the region want to make things appear like this, but what is the truth?
These are the things that call religious scholars and just reformers to careful thinking and sense of responsibility and they make identification of the enemies\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\' goals behind highlighting sectarian, ethnic and partisan differences an obligation for everybody.
The fifth point is that one of the standards for judging whether Islamic Awakening movements are on the right path is the positions they adopt on the issue of Palestine. Since sixty years ago up until today, the occupation of Palestine has been the biggest tragedy that has been imposed on the Islamic Ummah.
Since the first day up until today, the tragedy of Palestine has been a combination of killings, assassinations, destruction, usurpation and transgression against what is held sacred in Islam. The necessity of putting up a resistance against this warring and usurping enemy and fighting him has been agreed upon by all Islamic denominations and all honest and healthy national currents. Any current in Islamic countries which disregards this religious and national responsibility out of consideration for the domineering demands of America or under the pretext of unreasonable justifications should not expect to be viewed as loyal to Islam and sincere in its nationalistic claims.
This is a test. Anybody who does not accept the slogan of liberating Holy Quds and saving the Palestinian nation and Palestinian territories or anybody who sidelines this slogan and turns his back on the camp of resistance, will be condemned. The Islamic Ummah should keep this clear and fundamental standard in mind everywhere and at all times.
Dear guests, brothers and sisters, never lose sight of the enemy\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s plot. Our lack of vigilance creates opportunities for our enemies.
The lesson that Ali (greetings be upon him) teaches us is that \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"whoever is careless about his cause, his enemy will not sleep over this advantage...\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" In this regard, our experience in the Islamic Republic is also a source of lessons. After the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, the arrogant Western governments and America - which had long established full control over Iranian taghuts and used to determine the political, economic and cultural destiny of our country and which had underestimated the enormous power of Islamic faith in society and remained unaware of the power of Islam and the Holy Quran to deploy forces and to guide - suddenly realized that they had been unaware and their governmental organizations, intelligence services and control rooms resumed work in order to make up for the overwhelming defeat they had suffered.
We have witnessed various kinds of machinations from them over the past thirty-something years. In essence, there have been two factors that have foiled their plots: insistence on Islamic principles and presence of the people on the scene. These two factors are the key to the problems everywhere. The first factor is guaranteed by sincere religious faith in divine promises and the second factor is guaranteed by sincere efforts and honest clarification. A nation that has faith in the honesty and sincerity of its leaders will bring in enthusiasm with their blessed presence, and wherever a nation stays on the scene with a solid determination, no power will have the capability to defeat it. This is a successful experience for all the nations that gave rise to Islamic Awakening through their presence.
I pray to Allah the Exalted to bestow His guidance, assistance and mercy on you and on all Muslim nations.
Greetings be upon you and Allah\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s mercy

Description:
Supreme Leader\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s Speech at Inauguration of Islamic Awakening and Ulama Conference
29/04/2013
The following is the full text of the speech delivered on April 29, 2013 by Ayatollah Khamenei the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution in a meeting at Inauguration of Islamic Awakening and Ulama Conference.
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
All praise belongs to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, and peace and greetings be upon our Master, Muhammad al-Mustafa, and upon his immaculate household, chosen companions and those who follow them well, until the Day of Judgment.
I welcome you honorable guests and I ask Almighty and Merciful God to bless this collective effort and make it an effective step towards happiness of Muslims. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Surely He listens and responds.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"
Today the subject of Islamic Awakening, which you will discuss in this conference, tops the list of the issues of the Islamic world and the Islamic Ummah, an amazing phenomenon that will result in the re-emergence of Islamic civilization - for the Islamic Ummah and then for all of the world - in the not too distant future providing that, with Allah\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s permission, it stays healthy and continues.
Today what lies in front of our eyes and cannot be denied by any informed and intelligent individual is that the world of Islam has now emerged out of the sidelines of social and political equations of the world, that it has found a prominent and outstanding position at the center of decisive global events, and that it offers a fresh outlook on life, politics, government and social developments. This is considered an important and significant phenomenon in today\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s world, which is suffering from a deep intellectual and theoretical vacuum after the failure of communism and liberalism. This is the first sign of the political and revolutionary events in North Africa and the Arab region on a global scale, which itself is a harbinger of greater truths that will come to pass in the future.
Islamic Awakening, which speakers in the arrogant and reactionary camp do not even dare to mention in words, is a truth whose signs can be witnessed in almost all parts of the world of Islam. The most obvious sign of it is the enthusiasm of public opinion, especially among young people, to revive the glory and greatness of Islam, to become aware of the nature of the international order of domination and to remove the mask from the shameless, oppressive and arrogant face of the governments and centers that have been pressuring the Islamic and non-Islamic East in their clutches for more than two hundred years and have been exposing nations to their brutal and aggressive thirst for power disguised with the mask of civilization and culture.
The dimensions of this auspicious awakening are widespread and mysterious, but what was witnessed of its immediate outcomes in a few North African countries can make hearts confident about the great and amazing outcomes that will be achieved in the future. Miraculous fulfillment of divine promises is always a hope-inspiring sign that promises the fulfillment of greater promises. The Quranic account of the two promises that Allah the Exalted gave to the mother of Prophet Moses is an example of this divine tactic. At that difficult moment, when she was ordered to cast her baby in the river in a basket, Allah the Exalted said, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Surely We will bring him back to you and make him one of the messengers.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura al-Qasas, Ayah 7] The fulfillment of the first promise, which was the smaller promise and a cause for happiness for the mother, became the sign of the fulfillment of the promise of prophetic mission, which was far greater and of course, it required long-term suffering, struggle and patience: \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"So We restored him to his mother that her eye might be refreshed, and that she might not grieve, and that she might know that the promise of Allah is true...\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura al-Qasas, Ayah 13] This true promise was the great mission which was fulfilled after many years and it changed the course of history.
Another example is the reminder about the overwhelming power of God to suppress the invaders of the Holy House: in order to encourage His audience through the Holy Prophet to submit to His order, Allah the Exalted makes use of this example \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"so let them serve the Lord of this House\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura Quraysh, Ayah 3] and says, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Did He not cause their war to end in confusion?\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura al-Fil, Ayah 2] Similarly, in order to raise the spirits of His beloved Prophet and convince him of the truth of the promise \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"your Lord has not forsaken you, nor has He become displeased\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura ad-Dhuha, Ayah 3], Allah the Exalted gives the reminder about the miraculous blessing: \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Did He not find you an orphan and give you shelter? He found you astray and guided you.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura ad-Dhuha, Ayah 6-7] And there are many such examples in the Holy Quran.
The day when Islam achieved victory in Iran and managed to capture the fort of America and Zionism in one of the most important countries in this extremely sensitive region, those who were wise and quick to learn realized that if they had patience and insight, other victories will come one after another.
The brilliant truths in the Islamic Republic, which are acknowledged by our enemies, have all been achieved in the shade of trust in divine promises, patience, resistance and asking God for assistance. In the face of temptations by weak people who, during tense times, shout \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"we are sure to be overtaken,\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura ash-Shuara, Ayah 61] our people have always shouted \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"by no means, my Lord is with me and soon will He guide me.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura ash-Shuara, Ayah 62]
Today this is a precious experience that is available to the peoples who have stood up against arrogance and tyranny and have managed to overthrow and shake corrupt governments that are subservient to and dependent on America. Resistance, patience, insight and faith in the divine promise \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"surely Allah will help him who helps His cause\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" will pave this path of glory for the Islamic Ummah until it reaches the peak of Islamic civilization.
At this important meeting, which has been attended by a group of religious scholars of the Islamic Ummah from different Islamic countries and denominations, I believe it is appropriate to discuss a few necessary points regarding the issue of Islamic Awakening.
The first point is that the earliest waves of awakening in the countries of this region, which started simultaneously with the entry of the pioneers of colonialism, were mainly caused by religion and religious reformers. The names of outstanding leaders and personalities - such as Sayyid Jamal ad-Din, Muhammad Abduh, Mirza-e Shirazi, Akhund-e Khorasani, Mahmoud al-Hassan, Muhammad Ali, Sheikh Fazlollah, Hajj Agha Noorullah, Abul A\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'la Maududi and tens of famous, great, mujahid and and influential clerics from Iran, Egypt, India and Iraq - have been recorded in history books forever. Similarly, in the contemporary era, the brilliant name of the great Imam Khomeini is shining like a brilliant star at the forefront of the Islamic Revolution. Meanwhile, today and in the past, hundreds of famous religious scholar and thousands of lesser-known religious scholars have played a role in great and small reform movements in different countries. The list of non-cleric religious reformers, such as Hassan al-Banna and Iqbal Lahori, is also long and amazing.
Almost everywhere, clerics and theologians have been the intellectual authority and spiritual support for the people and wherever they have appeared in the role of guides and pioneers at the time of great developments and have moved forward in the first rows of popular movements in the face of dangers, the intellectual bond between them and the people has been strengthened and they have played a significant role in showing the path to the people. This is as beneficial to the wave of Islamic Awakening as it is unpleasant and distressing to the enemies of the Islamic Ummah, those who bear grudges against Islam and those who are opposed to the rule of Islamic values, and they are trying to take away this intellectual authority from religious strongholds and create new centers for it. They have learned through experience that they can easily reach a compromise with these centers over national principles and values, and this is something that will never happen in the case of pious religious scholars and devoted religious personalities.
This makes the responsibility of religious scholars heavier. Through vigilance and caution and by identifying the enemy\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s deceptive methods and machinations, they should completely shut the door to infiltration and foil the enemy\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s plots. One of the greatest calamities is becoming attracted to the lure of worldly wealth. Exposure to the favors of wealthy and powerful people and being indebted to taghuts of lust and power are the most dangerous cause of separation from the people and loss of their trust and friendliness. Self-centeredness and thirst for power, which lure weak individuals towards developing an inclination to poles of power, prepare the ground for involvement in corruption and deviation. It is necessary to constantly keep this holy Quranic ayah in mind: \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"(As for) that future abode, We assign it to those who have no desire to exalt themselves in the earth nor to make mischief and the good end is for those who guard (against evil).\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura al-Qasas, Ayah 83]
Today in the era of hope-inspiring movements of Islamic Awakening, sometimes certain things are witnessed which on the one hand, show the efforts by the agents of America and Zionism to create unreliable intellectual authorities and which on the other hand, show the efforts by debauched Qaruns to drag religious and pious people towards their poisoned and contaminated activities. Religious scholars and pious men should be extremely vigilant and careful.
The second point is the necessity of delineating a long-term goal for Islamic Awakening in Muslim countries, a noble aim that gives orientation to the awakening of nations and helps them reach a certain point. It is through identifying this particular point that one can prepare a roadmap and specify the medium- and short-term goals in it. This final goal cannot be anything less than creating a brilliant Islamic civilization. All parts of the Islamic Ummah - in the form of different nations and countries - should achieve the civilizational position that has been specified in the Holy Quran. The main and the general characteristic of this civilization is that it should allow human beings to utilize all the material and spiritual capacities that Allah the Exalted has bestowed on them and on the world in order to bring about happiness and transcendence for humanity. The surface structure of this civilization can and should be witnessed in popular government, in the laws that have been extracted from the Holy Quran, in identifying and addressing different needs of humanity, in avoidance of rigidity and reactionary attitudes as well as unwarranted innovation and adulteration, in creating public welfare and wealth, in establishing justice, in liberation from an economy that is based on special privileges, usury and taking pride in wealth, in promoting human values, in defending oppressed people in the world, and in hard work and innovation. Adopting an ijtihadi and scholarly outlook on different areas - ranging from humanities to the system of formal education, from economy and banking to technical and technological production, from modern media to art and cinema and to international relations and other areas - are all among the requirements for this civilization-building.
Experience has shown that all of these things are possible and within the capacities of Muslim communities. This outlook must not be treated with haste and pessimism. Being pessimistic about one\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s capabilities is ingratitude to God\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s blessings, and neglecting help from God and the laws of creation amounts to slipping into the morass of entertaining \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"evil thoughts about Allah.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura al-Fath, Ayah 6] We can break the chain of scientific, economic and political monopolies of the domineering powers and help the Islamic Ummah become the pioneer of restoring the rights of the majority of nations in the world, which have been dominated by a minority of arrogant powers.
Through religious faith, knowledge, ethics and constant struggle, Islamic civilization can gift advanced thought and noble codes of behavior to the Islamic Ummah and to the entire humanity, and it can be the point of liberation from materialistic and oppressive outlooks and corrupt codes of behavior that form the pillars of current Western civilization.
The third point is that in the movements of Islamic Awakening it is necessary to pay constant attention to the bitter and horrifying experience of following the West in politics, behavior and lifestyle.
In more than a century of following the culture and politics of the arrogant powers, Muslim countries suffered from deadly calamities such as political dependence and humiliation, economic plights and poverty, decline of moral virtues and ethics and shameful scientific backwardness, and this was while the Islamic Ummah enjoyed a glorious history in all of these areas.
This statement must not be interpreted as hostility towards the West. We are not hostile towards any group of human beings because of geographical differences. We have learnt lessons from Ali (greetings be upon him) who describes human beings in this way: \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Those who have the same religion as you, they are brothers to you, and those who have religions other than that of yours, they are human beings like you.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" Our complaint against oppression and arrogance and against bullying and transgression is the moral and practical degeneration that has been imposed on our nations by the colonial and arrogant powers. Currently, we can witness the bullying and interference of America and some of its followers in the region in the countries in which the breeze of awakening has turned into the storm of uprisings and revolutions. Their promises must not affect the decisions and actions of outstanding political personalities and the great movement of the people. In this case as well, we need to learn lessons from our experiences: those who pinned their hopes on the promises of America for years and based their behavior and policies on the inclination towards the oppressor did not manage to resolve any problems of their nations or eliminate an injustice to themselves or to others. By surrendering to America, they did not manage to prevent the demolition of even one single Palestinian home in a territory that belongs to the Palestinians. The politicians and outstanding personalities who are deceived by the bribe or intimidated by the threats of the camp of the arrogant powers and miss the great opportunity of Islamic Awakening should be apprehensive about this divine threat: \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Have you not seen those who have changed Allah\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s favor for ungratefulness and made their people to alight into the abode of perdition into hell? They shall enter into it and an evil place it is to settle in.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, Sura Ibrahim, Ayah 28-29]
The fourth point is that today one of the most dangerous things that threatens the movement of Islamic Awakening is the efforts to foment discord and turn these movements into bloody sectarian, ethnic and national conflicts. Currently, this plot is being seriously pursued by intelligence services of the West and Zionism with the help of petrodollars and bribed politicians from East Asia to North Africa and particularly in the Arab region. And the money that could have been spent to bring about happiness for mankind is being used to make threats, excommunicate, assassinate, bomb, shed Muslim blood and to kindle the fire of long-lasting grudges. Those who consider the unified power of Islam as an obstacle in the way of their evil goals have come to the conclusion that fanning the flames of conflicts inside the Islamic Ummah is the easiest way to achieve their satanic goal and they have used differences of opinion in Islamic jurisprudence, kalaam, history and hadith - which are natural and inevitable - as a pretext to excommunicate, shed blood and cause fitna and corruption.
A vigilant look at the scene of domestic conflicts clearly reveals the enemy\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s hands behind these tragedies. These deceptive hands undoubtedly take advantage of the ignorance, prejudice and superficiality that exists in our societies and they add fuel to the fire. The responsibility of religious and political reformers and outstanding personalities is very heavy in this regard.
Currently, Libya, Egypt and Tunisia, Syria, Pakistan, and Iraq and Lebanon are in one way or another involved in or exposed to these dangerous flames. It is necessary to be extremely careful and to look for a remedy. It would be naïve to think that all of these things are due to ideological and ethnic factors and motives. Propaganda campaigns of the West and dependent and mercenary media in the region pretend that the destructive war in Syria is a Shia-Sunni conflict and they create a safety margin for the Zionists and the enemies of resistance in Syria and Lebanon. This is while the two sides of the conflict in Syria are not Shia and Sunni, rather they are the supporters and opponents of anti-Zionist resistance. Neither the Syrian government is a Shia government, nor is the secular and anti-Islam opposition a Sunni group. The only achievement of the plotters of this calamitous scenario is that they have managed to make use of religious sentiments of simple-minded people to kindle this deadly fire. A look at the scene and those who are involved in it at different levels can clarify the issue for any just individual.
Also, in the case of Bahrain, this wave of propaganda is spreading lies and deception in another way. In Bahrain, the oppressed majority - who have been deprived of the right to vote as well as other fundamental rights that a nation should enjoy - have risen up to demand their rights. Should this be considered a Shia-Sunni conflict simply because the oppressed majority are Shia and the oppressive secular government pretends to be Sunni? Of course, the European and American colonialists and their friends in the region want to make things appear like this, but what is the truth?
These are the things that call religious scholars and just reformers to careful thinking and sense of responsibility and they make identification of the enemies\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\' goals behind highlighting sectarian, ethnic and partisan differences an obligation for everybody.
The fifth point is that one of the standards for judging whether Islamic Awakening movements are on the right path is the positions they adopt on the issue of Palestine. Since sixty years ago up until today, the occupation of Palestine has been the biggest tragedy that has been imposed on the Islamic Ummah.
Since the first day up until today, the tragedy of Palestine has been a combination of killings, assassinations, destruction, usurpation and transgression against what is held sacred in Islam. The necessity of putting up a resistance against this warring and usurping enemy and fighting him has been agreed upon by all Islamic denominations and all honest and healthy national currents. Any current in Islamic countries which disregards this religious and national responsibility out of consideration for the domineering demands of America or under the pretext of unreasonable justifications should not expect to be viewed as loyal to Islam and sincere in its nationalistic claims.
This is a test. Anybody who does not accept the slogan of liberating Holy Quds and saving the Palestinian nation and Palestinian territories or anybody who sidelines this slogan and turns his back on the camp of resistance, will be condemned. The Islamic Ummah should keep this clear and fundamental standard in mind everywhere and at all times.
Dear guests, brothers and sisters, never lose sight of the enemy\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s plot. Our lack of vigilance creates opportunities for our enemies.
The lesson that Ali (greetings be upon him) teaches us is that \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"whoever is careless about his cause, his enemy will not sleep over this advantage...\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" In this regard, our experience in the Islamic Republic is also a source of lessons. After the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, the arrogant Western governments and America - which had long established full control over Iranian taghuts and used to determine the political, economic and cultural destiny of our country and which had underestimated the enormous power of Islamic faith in society and remained unaware of the power of Islam and the Holy Quran to deploy forces and to guide - suddenly realized that they had been unaware and their governmental organizations, intelligence services and control rooms resumed work in order to make up for the overwhelming defeat they had suffered.
We have witnessed various kinds of machinations from them over the past thirty-something years. In essence, there have been two factors that have foiled their plots: insistence on Islamic principles and presence of the people on the scene. These two factors are the key to the problems everywhere. The first factor is guaranteed by sincere religious faith in divine promises and the second factor is guaranteed by sincere efforts and honest clarification. A nation that has faith in the honesty and sincerity of its leaders will bring in enthusiasm with their blessed presence, and wherever a nation stays on the scene with a solid determination, no power will have the capability to defeat it. This is a successful experience for all the nations that gave rise to Islamic Awakening through their presence.
I pray to Allah the Exalted to bestow His guidance, assistance and mercy on you and on all Muslim nations.
Greetings be upon you and Allah\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s mercy

Protest Against The Attack on the
The Holy Shrine Syeda Zainab (s.a)
Saturday July 27th @3:00pm Holland Park, Surrey BC
Zainab Binte Ali (as) was a symbol of empowerment for women and an image of resistance to the oppression as well.
On Friday, several mortar shells fired by foreign-backed terrorist groups hit the holy shrine of Syeda Zainab Binte Ali (as) of killing custodian of the facility.
Saudi and foreign-backed insurgents have stepped up their attacks on religious sites around Syria, which many believe is part of a plot sponsored by western and regional supporters of the militants to fire flames of sectarian war in Syria to pull it in an even deeper crisis.
Who was Zainab Binte Ali (as) ?
Zainab Binte Ali (as) (AH 5--62; 626/7--682 CE), daughter of ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib and Fāṭimah al-Zahrāʾ, was the first granddaughter of the prophet Muḥammad. She is best known for her courageous and eloquent role supporting her brother Imām Ḥusayn, at the time of his martyrdom in the Battle of Karbala, and for protecting his family in the following months of Umayyad imprisonment.
Syrian rebels, dominated by Takfiri elements have earlier targetted the shrine twice in 2008 and 2012 causing extensive damage to it.
They aslo detonated another shrine revered by Shi\\\'ites. Shrine of Hujr Bin Adi, a close companion of Prophet of Islam, was dynamited by the militants who view shrines as symbols of apostacy.
A rocket strike on the revered Islamic shrine in Damascus killed its custodian, activists and residents
Al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front terrorists also destroyed the historic mausoleum of Prophet Abraham (PBUH) with bulldozers in the eastern town of Ayn al-Arous in the province of Raqqa.
Attacks on mosques in different cities have also left hundreds of people dead, most of them while offering daily prayers.
\\\"Attackers in all these crimes claim that they are Muslims while not only they insult Islamic holy sites and figures, but act in ways that are strongly rejected by Islamic laws,\\\"

At least nine people have been killed and dozens wounded in different incidents across Iraq. The deadliest incident that involved six fatalities took place in the northern city of Kirkuk when gunmen attacked a shopping mall.
Officials say the shootout with the gunmen lasted for two hours. At least 47 people are believed to have been injured in the gun battle. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack as of yet. But such incidents are usually blamed on militants affiliated to al-Qaeda, who have strongholds around Kirkuk. At least three other people are said to have been killed in separate incidents in Baghdad, Fallujah and Tikrit. Violence in Iraq has surged over the past few months. The fatalities from the start of the year so far have now exceeded 62-hundred.
