بازدید فرمانده كل قوا از نیروی دریایی ارتش در بندرعباس
http://farsi.khamenei.ir/news-content?id=16755
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای رهبر معظم انقلاب اسلامی صبح شنبه، اول مردادماه 1390، وارد بندرعباس شدند و از منطقه یكم و كارخانجات نیروی دریایی ارتش جمهوری اسلامی ایران بازدید كردند.
فرمانده كل قوا در ابتدای ورود به قرارگاه مقدم نیروی دریائی ارتش - ناوگان جنوب، در محل یادمان شهدا حاضر شدند و با قرائت فاتحه، یاد و خاطره رشادت شهدای دفاع مقدس را گرامی داشتند.
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای سپس از یگانهای مختلف نیروهای مسلحِ حاضر در میدان سان دیدند.
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای در سخنانی در جمع فرماندهان و نیروهای قرارگاه مقدم نیروی دریایی ارتش و یگانهای نمونه نیروهای مسلح در منطقه، دریا را فرصتی بزرگ و راهبردی برای كشورها و ملتها دانستند و تأكید كردند: منافع و امكانات این دریاها متعلق به ملتها است و نیروهای دریایی ارتش و سپاه مظهر اقتدار ملت ایران در دفاع از منافع كشور در خلیج فارس و دریای عمان هستند.
ایشان افزودند: حكومتهای طاغوتی در سالهای متمادی سیطره بر ایران مانع پیشرفت دریانوردی و حضور دریایی ایران در پهنه آبهای منطقهای و بینالمللی بودند اما امروز شما باید با تلاش مضاعف عقبافتادگی طولانی مدت گذشته را جبران كنید.
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای با اشاره به سابقه حضور قدرتهای زورگو در منطقه بسیار حساس خلیج فارس و دریای عمان خاطرنشان كردند: امروز شرایط با گذشته بسیار متفاوت است و ساحل ممتد و طولانی این منطقه در اختیار دولتی مستقل و ملتی سرافراز و بیدار است كه قدرت و اراده ملی خود را میشناسد و با اتكاء به خداوند، اراده خود را بر هر قدرت سیاسی و نظامی تحمیل و او را مجبور به عقبنشینی خواهد كرد.
فرمانده كل قوا در همین زمینه افزودند: امروز خلیج فارس و دریای عمان به بركت حضور مقتدرانه ایران اسلامی، یك منطقه آزاد و مستقل است.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی حضور ناوهای آمریكایی و كشورهای اروپایی در منطقه را مضّر و نامطلوب ارزیابی و تأكید كردند: دورانی كه قدرتهای مستكبر با حضور نظامی برای ملتها تعیین سرنوشت میكردند گذشته است و اگر حتی برخی دولتهای منطقه همچنان تمایل به تبعیت از دستورات قدرتهای مستكبر را داشته باشند ولی ملتهای منطقه هوشیار و بیدار شدهاند و حضور نظامی بیگانگان، در منطقه را موجب ناامنی میدانند.

دیدار مسئولان نظام جمهوری اسلامی با رهبر انقلاب
http://farsi.khamenei.ir/news-content?id=16887
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای رهبر معظم انقلاب اسلامی عصر یكشنبه، 16 مرداد ماه 1390، در دیدار رؤسای قوای مجریه، مقننه و قضاییه، رییس مجلس خبرگان ،اعضای هیأت وزیران، نمایندگان مجلس، مسئولان دستگاهها و سازمانهای مختلف، ائمه جمعه و نمایندگان ولی فقیه در استانها و فرماندهان ارشد نیروهای مسلح در سخنان بسیار مهمی با اشاره به شرایط بیسابقه منطقه و جهان، تحلیل جامعی از شرایط كشور ارائه و تأكید كردند: ارزیابی واقعبینانه از جایگاه نظام اسلامی بعد از گذشت 32 سال نشان میدهد، كشور اكنون به دستاوردها و پیشرفتهای بزرگ و غیرقابل تصوری رسیده كه امیدبخش و زمینهساز برای ادامه حركت شتابان به سمت قلهها هستند و در كنار آنها نیز اولویتها و فهرستی از كارهای انجام نگرفته وجود دارند كه باید با همدلی، وحدت، كار و تلاش شبانهروزی، ایستادگی بر اصول و ارزشها و با استفاده از اعتماد كمنظیر مردم به نظام و اعتماد به نفس ملی بالا در میان جوانان، از فرصتهای موجود حداكثر استفاده را كرد و ایران اسلامی را به جایگاه شایسته خود در منطقه و جهان رساند.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی، نگاه واقعبینانه در هرگونه ارزیابی شرایط كشور را مهم دانستند و افزودند: برای رسیدن به یك نگاه صحیح و واقعی از وضعیت كشور باید شرایط فعلی منطقه و جهان را نیز در نظر گرفت زیرا بیداری اسلامی كنونی در منطقه و بحران اقتصادی عجیبی كه گریبانگیر غرب شده و همچنین رشد جریانهای افراطی در غرب، از ابتدای پیروزی انقلاب اسلامی تاكنون بیسابقه است.
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای خاطرنشان كردند: وجود چنین شرایط بیسابقهای در منطقه و دنیا، فرصتهای بزرگی را پیش روی نظام اسلامی قرار داده است كه اگر ارزیابی واقع بینانهای از شرایط كشور وجود نداشته باشد، ممكن است این فرصتها از دست بروند و یا حتی تبدیل به تهدید شوند.
ایشان ارزیابی صحیح از شرایط كشور را مستلزم نگاه واقعبینانه و پرهیز از یكسونگری دانستند و افزودند: در بررسی شرایط كشور، باید هم نقاط قوت و هم نقاط ضعف را دید و از نگاه منفی و یا نگاه مثبت مطلق پرهیز كرد.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی با اظهار گلهمندی از نگاه منفی مطلق در میان برخی مسئولان و نخبگان سیاسی، نتیجه اجتماعی چنین نگرشی را ناامیدی دانستند و خاطرنشان كردند: متأسفانه برخی مطبوعات نیز به دلیل بعضی اغراض فقط تیتر منفی میزنند كه این روش، كار غلطی است.
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای تأكید كردند: نگاه مثبت صرف نیز نادرست و موجب رضایت كاذب است.

دیدار رئیسجمهوری و اعضای هیئت دولت با رهبر انقلاب
http://farsi.khamenei.ir/news-content?id=17101
رهبر معظم انقلاب اسلامی، عصر روز 6 شهریورماه 1390، در دیدار با رئیسجمهور و اعضای هیأت دولت با قدردانی صمیمانه از حضور پرشور ملت در راهپیمایی روز جهانی قدس، پایبندی دولت به اصول و ارزشها و شعارهای جذابی همچون عدالتخواهی، استكبارستیزی و خدمترسانی صادقانه را ضروری و اثرگذار خواندند و تأكید كردند: جهاد اقتصادی نیازی حیاتی و زمینهساز پیشرفت و شكوفایی اقتصادی كشور است.
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای با تبریك هفته دولت و گرامیداشت یاد و خاطره شهیدان رجایی و باهنر، به حضور پرشكوه مردم در راهپیمایی روز قدس اشاره كردند و افزودند: از مردم عزیز ایران كه در راهپیمایی روز قدس، بار دیگر عظمت خود را نشان دادند، صمیمانه قدردانی می كنم.
ایشان، روز قدس امسال را نمادی از حضور و انگیزه ملت ایران دانستند و خاطرنشان كردند: این حضور و شكوه و عظمت، امید را در فضای منطقه گسترش میدهد و انگیزه ملتها را برای استقامت دو چندان خواهد كرد.
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای با قدردانی از خدمات دولت، بر پایبندی به شعارها و جهتگیریهای اعلام شده تأكید كردند و افزودند: علت اقبال مردم در انتخابات سال 84 و 88 به رئیسجمهور همین شعارهای جذاب و ضروری بود چرا كه مردم به ارزشها و آرمانها پایبند و دلبستهاند.
ایشان، عدالتخواهی، استكبارستیزی، سادهزیستی، مقابله با منش اشرافیگری، مقابله با ویژهخواری و سوءاستفاده از ارتباطات اقتصادی و غیراقتصادی و خدمترسانی صادقانه را از جمله شعارهای جذاب دولت خواندند و افزودند: اصول و ارزشهایی كه امام خمینی میفرمود و باعث محبوبیت ایشان در قلب ملتها شد از اساسیترین شعارهای دولت است كه باید كاملاًٌ به آن پایبند بود.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی، كار برای خدا را رمز برخورداری از توفیق الهی و ایجاد جذابیت در دلهای مردم برشمردند و تأكید كردند: اگر به هر علت تقید به شعارهای دولت سست شود توفیقات الهی نیز كم خواهد شد بنابراین با همان شور و نشاط و تلاش به خدمت صادقانه و بدون توقع ادامه دهید.
ایشان گزارشهایی را كه وزراء و معاونان رئیسجمهور در این دیدار بیان كردند، گزارشهایی خوب، مستند، منطقی و متكی به آمار بویژه آمار مقایسهای خواندند و افزودند: این گزارشها را باید به مجموعه نخبگان و زبدگان كشور نیز ارائه داد و اقدامات انجام گرفته را برای آنان تشریح كرد.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی یكی از اشكالات دولت را حضور كمرنگ در میان نخبگان دانشگاهی و حوزوی دانستند و تأكید كردند: باید رئیسجمهور و وزراء اقدامات دولت در بخشهای مختلف بویژه در خصوص مسائل اقتصادی را كه از مسائل اصلی كشور مورد چالش موافقان و مخالفان دولت است، در جمع نخبگان مطرح كنند تا با استفاده از دیدگاهها و همچنین نظرات انتقادی آنان، همافزایی بوجود آید.

In a meeting with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his cabinet members, Ayatollah Khamenei the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution said that the sanctions imposed on Iran are doomed to failure, further stressing: \"Considering global realities, it is not possible to continue these sanctions for a long time, and it is necessary to counteract these sanctions through economic jihad, reliance on God and purposeful and clever moves.\"

http://farsi.khamenei.ir/news-content?id=17222
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای رهبر معظم انقلاب اسلامی صبح روز 17 شهریور 1390، در دیدار رئیس و اعضای مجلس خبرگان، با اشاره به اقدام تاریخی و بیسابقه امام خمینی رضواناللهتعالیعلیه در تشكیل نظام سیاسی مبتنی بر فقه اسلامی، به تبیین چالش ظاهری میان حفظ هویت و اصول نظام با تحقق نیافتن برخی اهداف مادی و معنوی پرداختند و ضمن تشریح معنای صحیح ولایت مطلقه فقیه و تأكید بر لزوم تصحیح و تكمیل مستمر مسیر حركت نظام افزودند: حوادث بسیار عظیمی در منطقه در حال رخ دادن است كه باید با تبیین دقیق و صحیح مفهوم مردمسالاری دینی برای ملتهای مسلمان، خلاء موجود را در زمینه جهتگیری آینده این حوادث، پُر كرد.
ایشان، با اشاره به سابقه بسیار دیرین فقه سیاسی در فقه شیعه خاطرنشان كردند: با وجود این سابقه عریق و ریشهدار، نظام سازی بر اساس فقه اسلامی تا قبل از امام راحل عظیمالشأن سابقه نداشته است و آن بزرگوار، اول كسی است كه در مقام نظر و عمل، یك نظام سیاسی را بر مبنای مردمسالاری دینی و ولایت فقیه، مطرح و ایجاد كرد.
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای پس از بیان اهمیت بیبدیل و تاریخساز اقدام امام خمینی رضواناللهتعالیعلیه در نظامسازی سیاسی، افزودند: تحقق اهداف كلان مادی و معنوی این نظام، بطور طبیعی به زمان طولانی نیاز دارد و به همین علت، در كوتاهمدت و میانمدت ممكن است این تصور در ذهن برخی پیش آید كه حفظ و پایبندی به اصول و مبانی نظام، مانع از دسترسی به پیشرفت و محقق شدن اهداف شده است.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی در تبیین نگاه صحیح به این چالش بزرگ، به صبر پُر عظمت امام در تحمل فشارها و دشواریها اشاره كردند و افزودند: امام، هیچگاه چه در مسائل داخلی و چه در مسائل خارجی از مبانی و اصول، كوتاه نیامد و ضمن پیگیری اهداف، همواره به هویت نظام، كاملاً وفادار بود.
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای، پیگیری توأمان هر دو طرف این چالش، یعنی حفظ هویت نظام و دستیابی به پیشرفتهای مادی و معنوی را راه حل مسئله دانستند و خاطرنشان كردند: باید این واقعیت را یك اصل مهم و قطعی دانست كه حفظ اصول نظام و پیشرفت و تعالی كشور، همجهت و سازگارند و نباید بخاطر برخی مشكلات به قناعت حداقلی اكتفا كرد و از اصول كوتاه آمد.
ایشان، حفظ هویت نظام و پیگیری همزمان روند تحقق اهداف مادی، علمی، فرهنگی، اقتصادی، سیاسی و اجتماعی را كاری مهم، پیچیده و سخت برشمردند و خاطرنشان كردند: پیشرفتهای امروز كشور كه در سایه حفظ اصول بدست آمده با وضع ایران در اول انقلاب قابل مقایسه نیست و این حقیقت نیز نشان میدهد كه پیشرفت و تعالی جامعه، با حفظ اصول و هویت نظام امكانپذیر است، ضمن این كه نصرت الهی نیز تنها در پرتو وفاداری به مبانی اسلام ، شامل حال ملت و كشور خواهد بود.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی در دومین نكته از سخنانشان در جمع اعضای مجلس خبرگان، به تبیین لزوم تصحیح و تكمیل مستمر مسیر حركت نظام پرداختند.

قال الله العزیز الحكیم : بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم : يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَلا تُطِعِ الْكَافِرِينَ وَالْمُنَافِقِينَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا وَاتَّبِعْ مَا يُوحَى إِلَيْكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرًا وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَكَفَى بِاللَّهِ وَكِيلا
(O Prophet, fear Allah and do not obey the disbelievers and the hypocrites. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Wise. (1). And follow that which is revealed to you from your Lord. Indeed Allah is ever, with what you do, Acquainted. (2) And rely upon Allah; and sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs.(3) Surat Al-Ahzab)
I welcome our honored audience and dear guests. What has brought us here together is the Islamic awakening, which comes from the stronger inspiration and greater understanding among Muslim ummah. This awakening has led to a major development among nations of our region and has brought about uprisings and revolutions that could never have been contemplated in the calculations of the dominant regional and international satanic powers. These are momentous uprising that have razed to the ground the autocratic and imperialist strongholds and vanquished the tyrants guarding them.
There is no doubt that colossal social upheavals have always relied on solid foundation of history and civilization and are products of accumulation of wisdom and experiences. Over the past 150 years, the presence of great intellectual and jihadi personalities that have been opinion leaders and behind Islamic movements in Egypt, Iraq, India and other countries in Asia and Africa has served as precursors and pioneers for the present situation in the Islamic world.
The developments in the 1950’s and 60’s led to coming to power of regimes that were mostly inclined to materialistic ideologies and thoughts, and because of their inherent character fell into the trap of Western imperialist and colonialist powers. These are experiences that are lessons to learn from, and have contributed substantially to evolution of general and profound understanding in the Islamic world.
The Islamic Revolution in Iran that was hailed by Imam Khomeini as “victory of blood over sword”, and establishment of the lasting, robust, courageous and progressive Islamic republic, and its impact on present Islamic awakening is itself a long story that deserves to be debated and researched. There is no doubt that Islamic Revolution of Iran will be accorded a thorough and comprehensive chapter in the analysis and writings of history of the present situation of the Islamic world.
For that reason, the present and mounting facts and truths in the Islamic world are not simply events that are severed from the past historical roots, social and intellectual backgrounds to allow our adversaries and the shallow-minded to present them as a passing wave and short-lived phenomenon in order to snuff out hope in the hearts of nations by their warped and biased analyses.
In this brotherly dialogue with you I want to place greater emphasis on three areas:
1. Taking a glance at the identity of these uprisings and revolutions
2. Major threats and harms lying on their way.
3. Recommendations to find solutions and prevent these threats and harms.
Regarding the first point, I believe the most important element in these revolutions is the actual and mass presence of people in the arena of action, struggle and jihad. They were present, not only with their heart, desire and faith, but also with their body and souls. There is a big difference between this presence and the presence of a military group or even armed combatants in front of uncaring people or even concerned people.
In the events of 1950’s and 60’s in some countries of Africa and Asia, the heavy load of the revolution was not on the shoulder of diverse segments of population and the youth from all parts of the country, but rather on the shoulder of coup d\\\\\\\'etat or small and limited armed groups. They decided and acted, and they themselves or the succeeding generation changed their ways as a result of certain motivations. The revolution became its own enemy and the enemy managed again to prevail over their countries.
This is totally different than the change that comes from the people. It is the people that bring their body and soul to the arena of action, and by their jihad and devotion push back and defeat the enemy. It is the people that make the slogans and set the goals, identify and introduce and pursue the enemy. They draw their desired future, although not comprehensively, and as a result do not allow departure from the path of the revolution or conceding to the enemy, or change of course by compromising and the tainted few with special interests, and above all thwart the schemes of enemy’s agents.
In such a grass-root movement, the revolution may be slowed, but can stay away from short-sightedness and being on shaky ground. Quran says “Have you not considered how Allah presents an example, [making] a good word like a good tree, whose root is firmly fixed and its branches [high] in the sky?
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ ضَرَبَ اللّهُ مَثَلاً كَلِمَةً طَيِّبَةً كَشَجَرةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ أَصْلُهَا ثَابِتٌ وَفَرْعُهَا فِي السَّمَاء
Have you not considered how Allah presents an example, [making] a good word like a good tree, whose root is firmly fixed and its branches [high] in the sky? (24\\\\\\\" Ibrahim )
When I saw the brave body of the proud people of Egypt on television in Tahrir Square, I became convinced that their revolution will triumph.
Let me confess something to you. After the victory of the Islamic Revolution and the establishment of the Islamic republic in Iran which caused an earthquake among the worldly materialistic rulers in East and West and brought unprecedented uproar and joy to Muslim nations, we expected that Egypt would be next in line to rise. The reason was the history of jihad, progressive thinking and presence of great mojahids and intellectuals in Egypt. I was reciting in my heart this poem by Abu Faras:
أراك عصيّ الدمع شیمتك الصبر ما للهوی نهی علیك و لا أمر ؟
When I saw the people of Egypt in Tahrir Square and squares in other cities, I knew I have received my response. The people of Egypt told me with words coming from their heart:
بلی أنا مشتاق و عندي لوعة ولكن مثلي لایذاع له سرُّ
…This sacred secret was nothing but the motivation and resolve to rise, and gradually people of Egypt cemented this thought in their mind and at a historical juncture they manifested their resolve and entered the arena in a magnificent show of their power.
Tunisia, Yemen, Libya, and Bahrain are no exception to this general rule.
In these revolutions principles, values and goals are not written in prefabricated manifestos of groups and parties, but written in the minds, hearts and desires of each and every person present on the scene and are declared in the context of their slogans and behaviors.
With these signals one can clearly tell that the principles of current revolutions in the region, in Egypt and other countries, are first and foremost the following:
- Revival and renewal of national dignity and respect that have been broken and trampled during long years of dictatorial and corrupt rule and the political domination of America and the West.
- Keeping up the banner of Islam which is the profound faith and longstanding attachment of people and being able to enjoy peace of mind, justice, progress and prosperity that could only be achieved under Islamic Sharia.
- Resistance against the influence and domination of the United States and Europe that have wreaked the greatest damage and humiliation on the peoples of these countries over the past two hundred years.
- Countering the usurper and fictitious Zionist regime that the imperialist powers have planted like a dagger in the heart of this region to serve as a tool to continue their diabolical domination after expelling a whole nation from their historical homeland.
There is no doubt that the revolutions in the region that rely on and demand these principles are not to the liking of America, Europe and the Zionists, and they are going to use all means to deny them, but the truth will not change with their denial.
The widespread participation of people in these revolutions is the most important element that constitutes their identity. Foreign powers that tried everything in their power and used all their schemes to keep in power the tyrannical, corrupt and subservient rulers in these countries and only abandoned them when the people left no choice for them have no right to claim a share in the victory of these revolutions. Even in Libya intervention by America and NATO cannot distort the truth. In Libya, NATO has caused irreparable damage. Had it not been for the military intervention of NATO and America, victory of people might have been delayed, but all these infrastructures would not have been damaged, and innocent women and children killed and then enemies that were accomplices of Qaddafi would not have been able to intervene in this innocent war-torn nation.
People and the elite that are of the people and others who are from the people are the true owners of these revolutions that should be trusted to protect them and draw the path to the future.
2- Regarding the threats and harm, I should first emphasize that although there are threats, but there are also ways to stay safe. Mere presence of threats should not scare nations.
إِنَّ كَيْدَ الشَّيْطَانِ كَانَ ضَعِيفًا
( Indeed, the plot of Satan has ever been weak)
Allah says about a group of mojahids of early Islam:
الَّذِينَ قالَ لَهُمُ النَّاسُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ جَمَعُوا لَكُمْ فَاخْشَوْهُمْ فَزادَهُمْ إِيماناً وَ قالُوا حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ فَانْقَلَبُوا بِنِعْمَةٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ فَضْلٍ لَمْ يَمْسَسْهُمْ سُوءٌ وَ اتَّبَعُوا رِضْوانَ اللَّهِ وَ اللَّهُ ذُو فَضْلٍ عَظِيمٍ
( Those to whom hypocrites said, \\\\\\\"Indeed, the people have gathered against you, so fear them.\\\\\\\" But it [merely] increased them in faith, and they said, \\\\\\\"Sufficient for us is Allah, and [He is] the best Disposer of affairs.\\\\\\\" So they returned with favor from Allah and bounty, no harm having touched them. And they pursued the pleasure of Allah, and Allah is the possessor of great bounty. )
We need to know what these threats are, in order not to be surprised and to be able to find solutions.
We faced these perils and threats after the victory of Islamic Revolution and experienced them. With the grace of Allah and the leadership of Imam Khomeini and sacrifices of our people we managed to sail through them safely. The plots by enemies still continue but so does the firm resolve of our people.
I divide the harm to these movements into two groups: those that have their roots within ourselves and come from our own weaknesses, and those that have been directly planned by the enemy.
The first group of harms is of the following type:
The sense and thought that after the downfall of the corrupt dictator the job is over. The peace of mind and comfort that comes after the victory and afterward the lessening of motivation and weakening of determination are among the first perils, and the most damaging threat is when individuals ask for their share of the spoils of victory.
The story of the Battle of Uhud and the defenders seeking the spoils of victory caused the defeat of Muslims, and the mojahids were reprimanded by God. This is a good example that should never be forgotten. Being shocked and awed by the appearances of the arrogant powers and the feeling of fear from America and other interventionist powers are of these kinds of harm that should be avoided.
The brave and young should throw out these fears from their heart. Trusting the enemy and falling into trap of their smiles and promises is another threat that needs to be avoided by the forerunners and leaders. The enemy must be identified no matter what cover it uses. The nation and the revolution should be protected against the designs of the enemy that at times hide behind the appearances of friendship and supportive gestures. Another side to this page is becoming overconfident and overlooking the enemy. Bravery must be combined with wisdom and good judgment. We must use all treasures of God within ourselves against Satan, al-Jinn wal–Ens. Causing division and pitting revolutionaries against one another and penetration behind the battlefront of struggle is another great harm that needs to be avoided with all your power.
The second group of harm has been experienced by almost all countries of the region during different events. The first harm is the coming to power of those who are committed to America and the West. The West tries after the downfall of its pawns to protect the basic pillars of the system and levers of power, and change the direction by using the same foundation, but with a different head, in order to perpetuate its domination. This means wasting of all your efforts and sacrifices. At this stage, if they face resistance of the people, they try to introduce and offer to the movement and people other alternatives that are designed to divert the course of the movement. This scenario could be recommending government models and constitutions that will again throw the Islamic countries into the trap of cultural, political and economic dependence on the West. This could lead to their influence among the revolutionaries greater financial and media strength of an unreliable current and marginalization of the genuine currents in the revolution. This also means return of the domination of the West and the stronger grip of then outdated Western models that are far from basic principles of the revolution.
If this tactic does not produce the desired result, experience tells us that they will go for anarchy, terrorism, civil war among followers of religions or ethnic communities and tribes, political parties, or even among neighboring nations and governments. Parallel to these actions, they will impose economic siege and sanctions, freeze national assets and launch all-out media war and propaganda. Their intention is to tire out and frustrate people and make the revolutionaries disappointed. Under these circumstances it becomes easy to defeat the revolution. Assassination of the righteous elite of the society and opinion leaders, defamation and vilification of others and even enticing some with money are among usual ploys used by the Western powers and the claimants of civilization morality.
In Iran, the evidence and documents from the U.S. Den of Espionage that fell into the hands of the revolution showed that all these plots were designed by the regime in the United States for the people of Iran for them bringing back the reactionary and dependant rulers in revolutionary countries is a principle that prescribes all these dirty tricks.
In the last part of my remarks, I present recommendations for your consideration and selection that are based on our tangible experiences in Iran and what has been gathered from the precise studies of other countries. Undoubtedly, conditions differ among nations and countries. Nonetheless, there are truths that can prove beneficial for all people.
The first point is that by placing one’s trust in God and believing in the repeated promises of divine victories in the Quran and through astuteness, resolve, and braveness, it is possible to surmount all obstacles and emerge victorious. Of course, the task that you all have taken up is quite grave and momentous. Thus, one must bear great hardship for its sake. The Commander of the Faithful, Imam Ali (`a) says:
“فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَقْصِمْ جَبَّارِي دَهْرٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا بَعْدَ تَمْهِيلٍ وَ رَخَاءٍ وَ لَمْ يَجْبُرْ عَظْمَ أَحَدٍ مِنَ الْأُمَمِ إِلَّا بَعْدَ أَزْلٍ وَ بَلَاءٍ وَ فِي دُونِ مَا اسْتَقْبَلْتُمْ مِنْ عَتْبٍ وَ مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُمْ مِنْ خَطْبٍ مُعْتَبَر..”
The important recommendation is that you must always consider yourself as being present on the scene: فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَانْصَبْ ( So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship].)Therefore, when thou art free, still labor hard), always consider God as present and as your aid: وَإِلَى رَبِّكَ فَارْغَبْ (And to thy Lord turn all thy attention), and must not allow your victories to cause you to become arrogant or negligent:
اِذا جاءَ نَصْرُ اللهِ وَ الْفَتْحُ وَ رَاَيْتَ النّاسَ يَدْخُلُونَ في دينِ اللهِ اَفْواجاً فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَ اسْتَغْفِرْهُ اِنَّهُ كانَ تَوّاباً
(When comes the help of Allah, and victory. And thou dost see the people enter Allah’s Religion in crowds. Celebrate the praises of thy Lord). These are the true foundations of a faithful nation.
Another recommendation is the constant rereading of the principles of revolution. The slogans and principles must be refined and brought in line with the foundations and undisputed principles of Islam. Independence, freedom, justice, refusal to bow to despotism and colonialism, rejection of ethnic, racial, and religious discrimination, and the outright rejection of Zionism, which, today, comprise the pivots of the movements in Islamic countries, are all inspired by Islam and the Quran.
Write down your principles on paper. Preserve your genuine nature with a high degree of sensitivity. Do not allow your enemies to formulate the principles of your future system. Do not allow Islamic principles to be sacrificed for transient interests. Deviation in revolutions starts with deviation in slogans and objectives. Never place your trust in the U.S., NATO, or criminal regimes such as Britain, France, or, Italy, which for long plundered and divided your land among themselves. Look upon them with suspicion and do not believe their smiles. Behind these smiles and promises lies conspiracy and betrayal. Find you own way by resorting to the blessed fountainhead of Islam and give back foreigners’ prescriptions to themselves.
Another important recommendation is to avoid religious, ethnic, racial, tribal, and border disputes. Recognize differences as legitimate and manage them. Reconciliation among Islamic religions is the key to salvation. Those who fan the flames of religious division through apostatizing others are the mercenaries and servants of Satan, even if done inadvertently.
Creating your own system of governance is your main and seminal task. This is a complex and difficult undertaking. Do not allow secular or western liberal or extremist nationalist or leftist Marxist models to be imposed on you.
The leftist Eastern Bloc collapsed and the Western Bloc is propped up through violence, war, and deceit, and does not appear to have a bright outlook.
The passage of time will be to their loss and to the benefit of the Islamic current.
The ultimate goal must be a unified Islamic Ummah and the creation of a new Islamic civilization founded upon faith, rationality, knowledge, and morality.
The liberation of Palestine from the savage claws of the Zionists is also a great objective. The countries of the Balkans, Caucasus, and western Asia were liberated from the claws of the former Soviet Union after eighty years. Why should the Palestinian people not be able to free themselves from the captivity of the oppressor Zionists after seventy years?
The present generation in Islamic countries has the capacity to accomplish such great feats. The young generation of today is a source of pride for the past generations. As noted by the Arab poet:
أبو الصخر من شيبان قلت لهم كلا لعمري و لكن منه شيبانُ
و كم أبٍ قد علا بابنٍ ذُری شَرَفٍ كما علا برسولِ الله عدنانُ
Trust your young generation. Revive their feeling of self-confidence and benefit them by the experiences of the elders.
There are two important points in this connection:
First, one of the most important demands of the people who have revolted and who have been liberated is to have a decisive participation in the management of their countries. And since they believe in Islam, their desire is to have a system of Islamic democracy, i.e. the rulers being elected through the vote of the people and the dominant principles and values of the society being based on the Islamic knowledge and sharia. This can crystallize in various countries, depending on their conditions, through various methods and forms. However, utmost care must be taken not to confuse this with the western liberal democracy. The secular, and at times anti-religious, western democracy is in no way related to the Islamic democracy which is committed to the values and main principles of Islam in its system of government.
The second point relates to the fact that Islamic tenets must not be equated with backwardness, obscurantism, and ignorant and extremist biases. The demarcation between these two must be pronounced. Religious extremism, which is usually attended by violence, is the cause of falling short of the lofty goals of the revolution. This, in turn, results in the loss of public support and the eventual failure of the revolution.
In sum, to speak of Islamic awakening is not to speak of a nebulous and indistinct concept that is amenable to various interpretations. Rather, it is to speak of a tangible reality in the external world that has filled the atmosphere and resulted in great uprisings and revolutions and removed from the scene some dangerous elements of the enemy. Nonetheless, the scene remains fluid and in need of being shaped and brought to a conclusion. The verses recited at the outset contain a complete and effective set of guidelines, especially in this sensitive and momentous juncture… Though, they are addressed to the Holy Prophet (PBUH), we all are their interlocutors and responsible for adhering to them. In these verses, piety (taqwa), in its lofty and broad connotation, is the first recommendation. Then comes the rejection of the orders of the infidels and hypocrites, adherence to the divine revelation, and, finally, trust in God…
Once again, we will review these verses:
بسماللهالرحمنالرحیم يا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَ لا تُطِعِ الْكافِرينَ وَ الْمُنافِقينَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ عَليماً حَكيماً(1) وَ اتَّبِعْ ما يُوحى إِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ بِما تَعْمَلُونَ خَبيراً (2) وَ تَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ كَفى بِاللَّهِ وَكيلاً.
(In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful. O Prophet! Fear Allah, and hearken not to the unbelievers and the hypocrites: verily Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom. But follow that which comes to thee by inspiration from thy Lord: for Allah is well acquainted with (all) that ye do. And put thy trust in Allah, and enough is Allah as a disposer of affairs.)
والسلام علیکم و رحمة الله

I welcome our honored audience and dear guests. What has brought us here together is the Islamic awakening, which comes from the stronger inspiration and greater understanding among Muslim ummah. This awakening has led to a major development among nations of our region and has brought about uprisings and revolutions that could never have been contemplated in the calculations of the dominant regional and international satanic powers. These are momentous uprising that have razed to the ground the autocratic and imperialist strongholds and vanquished the tyrants guarding them.
There is no doubt that colossal social upheavals have always relied on solid foundation of history and civilization and are products of accumulation of wisdom and experiences. Over the past 150 years, the presence of great intellectual and jihadi personalities that have been opinion leaders and behind Islamic movements in Egypt, Iraq, India and other countries in Asia and Africa has served as precursors and pioneers for the present situation in the Islamic world.
The developments in the 1950’s and 60’s led to coming to power of regimes that were mostly inclined to materialistic ideologies and thoughts, and because of their inherent character fell into the trap of Western imperialist and colonialist powers. These are experiences that are lessons to learn from, and have contributed substantially to evolution of general and profound understanding in the Islamic world.
The Islamic Revolution in Iran that was hailed by Imam Khomeini as “victory of blood over sword”, and establishment of the lasting, robust, courageous and progressive Islamic republic, and its impact on present Islamic awakening is itself a long story that deserves to be debated and researched. There is no doubt that Islamic Revolution of Iran will be accorded a thorough and comprehensive chapter in the analysis and writings of history of the present situation of the Islamic world.
For that reason, the present and mounting facts and truths in the Islamic world are not simply events that are severed from the past historical roots, social and intellectual backgrounds to allow our adversaries and the shallow-minded to present them as a passing wave and short-lived phenomenon in order to snuff out hope in the hearts of nations by their warped and biased analyses.
In this brotherly dialogue with you I want to place greater emphasis on three areas:

2. Major threats and harms lying on their way.
3. Recommendations to find solutions and prevent these threats and harms.

The peace of mind and comfort that comes after the victory and afterward the lessening of motivation and weakening of determination are among the first perils, and the most damaging threat is when individuals ask for their share of the spoils of victory.
The story of the Battle of Uhud and the defenders seeking the spoils of victory caused the defeat of Muslims, and the mojahids were reprimanded by God. This is a good example that should never be forgotten. Being shocked and awed by the appearances of the arrogant powers and the feeling of fear from America and other interventionist powers are of these kinds of harm that should be avoided.
The brave and young should throw out these fears from their heart. Trusting the enemy and falling into trap of their smiles and promises is another threat that needs to be avoided by the forerunners and leaders. The enemy must be identified no matter what cover it uses. The nation and the revolution should be protected against the designs of the enemy that at times hide behind the appearances of friendship and supportive gestures. Another side to this page is becoming overconfident and overlooking the enemy. Bravery must be combined with wisdom and good judgment. We must use all treasures of God within ourselves against Satan, al-Jinn wal–Ens. Causing division and pitting revolutionaries against one another and penetration behind the battlefront of struggle is another great harm that needs to be avoided with all your power.
The second group of harm has been experienced by almost all countries of the region during different events. The first harm is the coming to power of those who are committed to America and the West. The West tries after the downfall of its pawns to protect the basic pillars of the system and levers of power, and change the direction by using the same foundation, but with a different head, in order to perpetuate its domination. This means wasting of all your efforts and sacrifices. At this stage, if they face resistance of the people, they try to introduce and offer to the movement and people other alternatives that are designed to divert the course of the movement. This scenario could be recommending government models and constitutions that will again throw the Islamic countries into the trap of cultural, political and economic dependence on the West. This could lead to their influence among the revolutionaries greater financial and media strength of an unreliable current and marginalization of the genuine currents in the revolution. This also means return of the domination of the West and the stronger grip of then outdated Western models that are far from basic principles of the revolution.
If this tactic does not produce the desired result, experience tells us that they will go for anarchy, terrorism, civil war among followers of religions or ethnic communities and tribes, political parties, or even among neighboring nations and governments. Parallel to these actions, they will impose economic siege and sanctions, freeze national assets and launch all-out media war and propaganda. Their intention is to tire out and frustrate people and make the revolutionaries disappointed. Under these circumstances it becomes easy to defeat the revolution. Assassination of the righteous elite of the society and opinion leaders, defamation and vilification of others and even enticing some with money are among usual ploys used by the Western powers and the claimants of civilization morality.
In Iran, the evidence and documents from the U.S. Den of Espionage that fell into the hands of the revolution showed that all these plots were designed by the regime in the United States for the people of Iran for them bringing back the reactionary and dependant rulers in revolutionary countries is a principle that prescribes all these dirty tricks.
In the last part of my remarks, I present recommendations for your consideration and selection that are based on our tangible experiences in Iran and what has been gathered from the precise studies of other countries. Undoubtedly, conditions differ among nations and countries. Nonetheless, there are truths that can prove beneficial for all people.
The first point is that by placing one’s trust in God and believing in the repeated promises of divine victories in the Quran and through astuteness, resolve, and braveness, it is possible to surmount all obstacles and emerge victorious. Of course, the task that you all have taken up is quite grave and momentous. Thus, one must bear great hardship for its sake. The Commander of the Faithful, Imam Ali (`a) says:
“فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَقْصِمْ جَبَّارِي دَهْرٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا بَعْدَ تَمْهِيلٍ وَ رَخَاءٍ وَ لَمْ يَجْبُرْ عَظْمَ أَحَدٍ مِنَ الْأُمَمِ إِلَّا بَعْدَ أَزْلٍ وَ بَلَاءٍ وَ فِي دُونِ مَا اسْتَقْبَلْتُمْ مِنْ عَتْبٍ وَ مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُمْ مِنْ خَطْبٍ مُعْتَبَر..”
The important recommendation is that you must always consider yourself as being present on the scene: فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَانْصَبْ ( So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship].)Therefore, when thou art free, still labor hard), always consider God as present and as your aid: وَإِلَى رَبِّكَ فَارْغَبْ (And to thy Lord turn all thy attention), and must not allow your victories to cause you to become arrogant or negligent:
اِذا جاءَ نَصْرُ اللهِ وَ الْفَتْحُ وَ رَاَيْتَ النّاسَ يَدْخُلُونَ في دينِ اللهِ اَفْواجاً فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَ اسْتَغْفِرْهُ اِنَّهُ كانَ تَوّاباً
(When comes the help of Allah, and victory. And thou dost see the people enter Allah’s Religion in crowds. Celebrate the praises of thy Lord). These are the true foundations of a faithful nation.
Another recommendation is the constant rereading of the principles of revolution. The slogans and principles must be refined and brought in line with the foundations and undisputed principles of Islam. Independence, freedom, justice, refusal to bow to despotism and colonialism, rejection of ethnic, racial, and religious discrimination, and the outright rejection of Zionism, which, today, comprise the pivots of the movements in Islamic countries, are all inspired by Islam and the Quran.
Write down your principles on paper. Preserve your genuine nature with a high degree of sensitivity. Do not allow your enemies to formulate the principles of your future system. Do not allow Islamic principles to be sacrificed for transient interests. Deviation in revolutions starts with deviation in slogans and objectives. Never place your trust in the U.S., NATO, or criminal regimes such as Britain, France, or, Italy, which for long plundered and divided your land among themselves. Look upon them with suspicion and do not believe their smiles. Behind these smiles and promises lies conspiracy and betrayal. Find you own way by resorting to the blessed fountainhead of Islam and give back foreigners’ prescriptions to themselves.
Another important recommendation is to avoid religious, ethnic, racial, tribal, and border disputes. Recognize differences as legitimate and manage them. Reconciliation among Islamic religions is the key to salvation. Those who fan the flames of religious division through apostatizing others are the mercenaries and servants of Satan, even if done inadvertently.
Creating your own system of governance is your main and seminal task. This is a complex and difficult undertaking. Do not allow secular or western liberal or extremist nationalist or leftist Marxist models to be imposed on you.
The leftist Eastern Bloc collapsed and the Western Bloc is propped up through violence, war, and deceit, and does not appear to have a bright outlook.
The passage of time will be to their loss and to the benefit of the Islamic current.
The ultimate goal must be a unified Islamic Ummah and the creation of a new Islamic civilization founded upon faith, rationality, knowledge, and morality.
The liberation of Palestine from the savage claws of the Zionists is also a great objective. The countries of the Balkans, Caucasus, and western Asia were liberated from the claws of the former Soviet Union after eighty years. Why should the Palestinian people not be able to free themselves from the captivity of the oppressor Zionists after seventy years?
The present generation in Islamic countries has the capacity to accomplish such great feats. The young generation of today is a source of pride for the past generations. As noted by the Arab poet:
أبو الصخر من شيبان قلت لهم كلا لعمري و لكن منه شيبانُ
و كم أبٍ قد علا بابنٍ ذُری شَرَفٍ كما علا برسولِ الله عدنانُ
Trust your young generation. Revive their feeling of self-confidence and benefit them by the experiences of the elders.
There are two important points in this connection:
First, one of the most important demands of the people who have revolted and who have been liberated is to have a decisive participation in the management of their countries. And since they believe in Islam, their desire is to have a system of Islamic democracy, i.e. the rulers being elected through the vote of the people and the dominant principles and values of the society being based on the Islamic knowledge and sharia. This can crystallize in various countries, depending on their conditions, through various methods and forms. However, utmost care must be taken not to confuse this with the western liberal democracy. The secular, and at times anti-religious, western democracy is in no way related to the Islamic democracy which is committed to the values and main principles of Islam in its system of government.
The second point relates to the fact that Islamic tenets must not be equated with backwardness, obscurantism, and ignorant and extremist biases. The demarcation between these two must be pronounced. Religious extremism, which is usually attended by violence, is the cause of falling short of the lofty goals of the revolution. This, in turn, results in the loss of public support and the eventual failure of the revolution.
In sum, to speak of Islamic awakening is not to speak of a nebulous and indistinct concept that is amenable to various interpretations. Rather, it is to speak of a tangible reality in the external world that has filled the atmosphere and resulted in great uprisings and revolutions and removed from the scene some dangerous elements of the enemy. Nonetheless, the scene remains fluid and in need of being shaped and brought to a conclusion. The verses recited at the outset contain a complete and effective set of guidelines, especially in this sensitive and momentous juncture… Though, they are addressed to the Holy Prophet (PBUH), we all are their interlocutors and responsible for adhering to them. In these verses, piety (taqwa), in its lofty and broad connotation, is the first recommendation. Then comes the rejection of the orders of the infidels and hypocrites, adherence to the divine revelation, and, finally, trust in God…
Once again, we will review these verses:
بسماللهالرحمنالرحیم يا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَ لا تُطِعِ الْكافِرينَ وَ الْمُنافِقينَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ عَليماً حَكيماً(1) وَ اتَّبِعْ ما يُوحى إِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ بِما تَعْمَلُونَ خَبيراً (2) وَ تَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ كَفى بِاللَّهِ وَكيلاً.
(In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful. O Prophet! Fear Allah, and hearken not to the unbelievers and the hypocrites: verily Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom. But follow that which comes to thee by inspiration from thy Lord: for Allah is well acquainted with (all) that ye do. And put thy trust in Allah, and enough is Allah as a disposer of affairs.)
والسلام علیکم و رحمة الله

بسمالله الرحمن الرحیم
السلام علیکم و رحمة الله و برکاته
الحمدلله رب العالمین و الصلوة و السلام علی سیدنا محمد و آله الطیبین و صحبه المنتجبین
قال الله العزیز الحكیم : بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم : يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَلا تُطِعِ الْكَافِرِينَ وَالْمُنَافِقِينَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا وَاتَّبِعْ مَا يُوحَى إِلَيْكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرًا وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَكَفَى بِاللَّهِ وَكِيلا
(O Prophet, fear Allah and do not obey the disbelievers and the hypocrites. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Wise. (1). And follow that which is revealed to you from your Lord. Indeed Allah is ever, with what you do, Acquainted. (2) And rely upon Allah; and sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs.(3) Surat Al-Ahzab)
I welcome our honored audience and dear guests. What has brought us here together is the Islamic awakening, which comes from the stronger inspiration and greater understanding among Muslim ummah. This awakening has led to a major development among nations of our region and has brought about uprisings and revolutions that could never have been contemplated in the calculations of the dominant regional and international satanic powers. These are momentous uprising that have razed to the ground the autocratic and imperialist strongholds and vanquished the tyrants guarding them.
There is no doubt that colossal social upheavals have always relied on solid foundation of history and civilization and are products of accumulation of wisdom and experiences. Over the past 150 years, the presence of great intellectual and jihadi personalities that have been opinion leaders and behind Islamic movements in Egypt, Iraq, India and other countries in Asia and Africa has served as precursors and pioneers for the present situation in the Islamic world.
The developments in the 1950’s and 60’s led to coming to power of regimes that were mostly inclined to materialistic ideologies and thoughts, and because of their inherent character fell into the trap of Western imperialist and colonialist powers. These are experiences that are lessons to learn from, and have contributed substantially to evolution of general and profound understanding in the Islamic world.
The Islamic Revolution in Iran that was hailed by Imam Khomeini as “victory of blood over sword”, and establishment of the lasting, robust, courageous and progressive Islamic republic, and its impact on present Islamic awakening is itself a long story that deserves to be debated and researched. There is no doubt that Islamic Revolution of Iran will be accorded a thorough and comprehensive chapter in the analysis and writings of history of the present situation of the Islamic world.
For that reason, the present and mounting facts and truths in the Islamic world are not simply events that are severed from the past historical roots, social and intellectual backgrounds to allow our adversaries and the shallow-minded to present them as a passing wave and short-lived phenomenon in order to snuff out hope in the hearts of nations by their warped and biased analyses.
In this brotherly dialogue with you I want to place greater emphasis on three areas:
1. Taking a glance at the identity of these uprisings and revolutions
2. Major threats and harms lying on their way.
3. Recommendations to find solutions and prevent these threats and harms.
Regarding the first point, I believe the most important element in these revolutions is the actual and mass presence of people in the arena of action, struggle and jihad. They were present, not only with their heart, desire and faith, but also with their body and souls. There is a big difference between this presence and the presence of a military group or even armed combatants in front of uncaring people or even concerned people.
In the events of 1950’s and 60’s in some countries of Africa and Asia, the heavy load of the revolution was not on the shoulder of diverse segments of population and the youth from all parts of the country, but rather on the shoulder of coup d'etat or small and limited armed groups. They decided and acted, and they themselves or the succeeding generation changed their ways as a result of certain motivations. The revolution became its own enemy and the enemy managed again to prevail over their countries.
This is totally different than the change that comes from the people. It is the people that bring their body and soul to the arena of action, and by their jihad and devotion push back and defeat the enemy. It is the people that make the slogans and set the goals, identify and introduce and pursue the enemy. They draw their desired future, although not comprehensively, and as a result do not allow departure from the path of the revolution or conceding to the enemy, or change of course by compromising and the tainted few with special interests, and above all thwart the schemes of enemy’s agents.
In such a grass-root movement, the revolution may be slowed, but can stay away from short-sightedness and being on shaky ground. Quran says “Have you not considered how Allah presents an example, [making] a good word like a good tree, whose root is firmly fixed and its branches [high] in the sky?
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ ضَرَبَ اللّهُ مَثَلاً كَلِمَةً طَيِّبَةً كَشَجَرةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ أَصْلُهَا ثَابِتٌ وَفَرْعُهَا فِي السَّمَاء
Have you not considered how Allah presents an example, [making] a good word like a good tree, whose root is firmly fixed and its branches [high] in the sky? (24" Ibrahim )
When I saw the brave body of the proud people of Egypt on television in Tahrir Square, I became convinced that their revolution will triumph.
Let me confess something to you. After the victory of the Islamic Revolution and the establishment of the Islamic republic in Iran which caused an earthquake among the worldly materialistic rulers in East and West and brought unprecedented uproar and joy to Muslim nations, we expected that Egypt would be next in line to rise. The reason was the history of jihad, progressive thinking and presence of great mojahids and intellectuals in Egypt. I was reciting in my heart this poem by Abu Faras:
أراك عصيّ الدمع شیمتك الصبر ما للهوی نهی علیك و لا أمر ؟
When I saw the people of Egypt in Tahrir Square and squares in other cities, I knew I have received my response. The people of Egypt told me with words coming from their heart:
بلی أنا مشتاق و عندي لوعة ولكن مثلي لایذاع له سرُّ
…This sacred secret was nothing but the motivation and resolve to rise, and gradually people of Egypt cemented this thought in their mind and at a historical juncture they manifested their resolve and entered the arena in a magnificent show of their power.
Tunisia, Yemen, Libya, and Bahrain are no exception to this general rule.
In these revolutions principles, values and goals are not written in prefabricated manifestos of groups and parties, but written in the minds, hearts and desires of each and every person present on the scene and are declared in the context of their slogans and behaviors.
With these signals one can clearly tell that the principles of current revolutions in the region, in Egypt and other countries, are first and foremost the following:
- Revival and renewal of national dignity and respect that have been broken and trampled during long years of dictatorial and corrupt rule and the political domination of America and the West.
- Keeping up the banner of Islam which is the profound faith and longstanding attachment of people and being able to enjoy peace of mind, justice, progress and prosperity that could only be achieved under Islamic Sharia.
- Resistance against the influence and domination of the United States and Europe that have wreaked the greatest damage and humiliation on the peoples of these countries over the past two hundred years.
- Countering the usurper and fictitious Zionist regime that the imperialist powers have planted like a dagger in the heart of this region to serve as a tool to continue their diabolical domination after expelling a whole nation from their historical homeland.
There is no doubt that the revolutions in the region that rely on and demand these principles are not to the liking of America, Europe and the Zionists, and they are going to use all means to deny them, but the truth will not change with their denial.
The widespread participation of people in these revolutions is the most important element that constitutes their identity. Foreign powers that tried everything in their power and used all their schemes to keep in power the tyrannical, corrupt and subservient rulers in these countries and only abandoned them when the people left no choice for them have no right to claim a share in the victory of these revolutions. Even in Libya intervention by America and NATO cannot distort the truth. In Libya, NATO has caused irreparable damage. Had it not been for the military intervention of NATO and America, victory of people might have been delayed, but all these infrastructures would not have been damaged, and innocent women and children killed and then enemies that were accomplices of Qaddafi would not have been able to intervene in this innocent war-torn nation.
People and the elite that are of the people and others who are from the people are the true owners of these revolutions that should be trusted to protect them and draw the path to the future.
2- Regarding the threats and harm, I should first emphasize that although there are threats, but there are also ways to stay safe. Mere presence of threats should not scare nations.
إِنَّ كَيْدَ الشَّيْطَانِ كَانَ ضَعِيفًا
( Indeed, the plot of Satan has ever been weak)
Allah says about a group of mojahids of early Islam:
الَّذِينَ قالَ لَهُمُ النَّاسُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ جَمَعُوا لَكُمْ فَاخْشَوْهُمْ فَزادَهُمْ إِيماناً وَ قالُوا حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ فَانْقَلَبُوا بِنِعْمَةٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ فَضْلٍ لَمْ يَمْسَسْهُمْ سُوءٌ وَ اتَّبَعُوا رِضْوانَ اللَّهِ وَ اللَّهُ ذُو فَضْلٍ عَظِيمٍ
( Those to whom hypocrites said, "Indeed, the people have gathered against you, so fear them." But it [merely] increased them in faith, and they said, "Sufficient for us is Allah, and [He is] the best Disposer of affairs." So they returned with favor from Allah and bounty, no harm having touched them. And they pursued the pleasure of Allah, and Allah is the possessor of great bounty. )
We need to know what these threats are, in order not to be surprised and to be able to find solutions.
We faced these perils and threats after the victory of Islamic Revolution and experienced them. With the grace of Allah and the leadership of Imam Khomeini and sacrifices of our people we managed to sail through them safely. The plots by enemies still continue but so does the firm resolve of our people.
I divide the harm to these movements into two groups: those that have their roots within ourselves and come from our own weaknesses, and those that have been directly planned by the enemy.
The first group of harms is of the following type:
The sense and thought that after the downfall of the corrupt dictator the job is over. The peace of mind and comfort that comes after the victory and afterward the lessening of motivation and weakening of determination are among the first perils, and the most damaging threat is when individuals ask for their share of the spoils of victory.
The story of the Battle of Uhud and the defenders seeking the spoils of victory caused the defeat of Muslims, and the mojahids were reprimanded by God. This is a good example that should never be forgotten. Being shocked and awed by the appearances of the arrogant powers and the feeling of fear from America and other interventionist powers are of these kinds of harm that should be avoided.
The brave and young should throw out these fears from their heart. Trusting the enemy and falling into trap of their smiles and promises is another threat that needs to be avoided by the forerunners and leaders. The enemy must be identified no matter what cover it uses. The nation and the revolution should be protected against the designs of the enemy that at times hide behind the appearances of friendship and supportive gestures. Another side to this page is becoming overconfident and overlooking the enemy. Bravery must be combined with wisdom and good judgment. We must use all treasures of God within ourselves against Satan, al-Jinn wal–Ens. Causing division and pitting revolutionaries against one another and penetration behind the battlefront of struggle is another great harm that needs to be avoided with all your power.
The second group of harm has been experienced by almost all countries of the region during different events. The first harm is the coming to power of those who are committed to America and the West. The West tries after the downfall of its pawns to protect the basic pillars of the system and levers of power, and change the direction by using the same foundation, but with a different head, in order to perpetuate its domination. This means wasting of all your efforts and sacrifices. At this stage, if they face resistance of the people, they try to introduce and offer to the movement and people other alternatives that are designed to divert the course of the movement. This scenario could be recommending government models and constitutions that will again throw the Islamic countries into the trap of cultural, political and economic dependence on the West. This could lead to their influence among the revolutionaries greater financial and media strength of an unreliable current and marginalization of the genuine currents in the revolution. This also means return of the domination of the West and the stronger grip of then outdated Western models that are far from basic principles of the revolution.
If this tactic does not produce the desired result, experience tells us that they will go for anarchy, terrorism, civil war among followers of religions or ethnic communities and tribes, political parties, or even among neighboring nations and governments. Parallel to these actions, they will impose economic siege and sanctions, freeze national assets and launch all-out media war and propaganda. Their intention is to tire out and frustrate people and make the revolutionaries disappointed. Under these circumstances it becomes easy to defeat the revolution. Assassination of the righteous elite of the society and opinion leaders, defamation and vilification of others and even enticing some with money are among usual ploys used by the Western powers and the claimants of civilization morality.
In Iran, the evidence and documents from the U.S. Den of Espionage that fell into the hands of the revolution showed that all these plots were designed by the regime in the United States for the people of Iran for them bringing back the reactionary and dependant rulers in revolutionary countries is a principle that prescribes all these dirty tricks.
In the last part of my remarks, I present recommendations for your consideration and selection that are based on our tangible experiences in Iran and what has been gathered from the precise studies of other countries. Undoubtedly, conditions differ among nations and countries. Nonetheless, there are truths that can prove beneficial for all people.
The first point is that by placing one’s trust in God and believing in the repeated promises of divine victories in the Quran and through astuteness, resolve, and braveness, it is possible to surmount all obstacles and emerge victorious. Of course, the task that you all have taken up is quite grave and momentous. Thus, one must bear great hardship for its sake. The Commander of the Faithful, Imam Ali (`a) says:
“فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَقْصِمْ جَبَّارِي دَهْرٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا بَعْدَ تَمْهِيلٍ وَ رَخَاءٍ وَ لَمْ يَجْبُرْ عَظْمَ أَحَدٍ مِنَ الْأُمَمِ إِلَّا بَعْدَ أَزْلٍ وَ بَلَاءٍ وَ فِي دُونِ مَا اسْتَقْبَلْتُمْ مِنْ عَتْبٍ وَ مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُمْ مِنْ خَطْبٍ مُعْتَبَر..”
The important recommendation is that you must always consider yourself as being present on the scene: فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَانْصَبْ ( So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship].)Therefore, when thou art free, still labor hard), always consider God as present and as your aid: وَإِلَى رَبِّكَ فَارْغَبْ (And to thy Lord turn all thy attention), and must not allow your victories to cause you to become arrogant or negligent:
اِذا جاءَ نَصْرُ اللهِ وَ الْفَتْحُ وَ رَاَيْتَ النّاسَ يَدْخُلُونَ في دينِ اللهِ اَفْواجاً فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَ اسْتَغْفِرْهُ اِنَّهُ كانَ تَوّاباً
(When comes the help of Allah, and victory. And thou dost see the people enter Allah’s Religion in crowds. Celebrate the praises of thy Lord). These are the true foundations of a faithful nation.
Another recommendation is the constant rereading of the principles of revolution. The slogans and principles must be refined and brought in line with the foundations and undisputed principles of Islam. Independence, freedom, justice, refusal to bow to despotism and colonialism, rejection of ethnic, racial, and religious discrimination, and the outright rejection of Zionism, which, today, comprise the pivots of the movements in Islamic countries, are all inspired by Islam and the Quran.
Write down your principles on paper. Preserve your genuine nature with a high degree of sensitivity. Do not allow your enemies to formulate the principles of your future system. Do not allow Islamic principles to be sacrificed for transient interests. Deviation in revolutions starts with deviation in slogans and objectives. Never place your trust in the U.S., NATO, or criminal regimes such as Britain, France, or, Italy, which for long plundered and divided your land among themselves. Look upon them with suspicion and do not believe their smiles. Behind these smiles and promises lies conspiracy and betrayal. Find you own way by resorting to the blessed fountainhead of Islam and give back foreigners’ prescriptions to themselves.
Another important recommendation is to avoid religious, ethnic, racial, tribal, and border disputes. Recognize differences as legitimate and manage them.

Those who fan the flames of religious division through apostatizing others are the mercenaries and servants of Satan, even if done inadvertently.
Creating your own system of governance is your main and seminal task. This is a complex and difficult undertaking. Do not allow secular or western liberal or extremist nationalist or leftist Marxist models to be imposed on you.
The leftist Eastern Bloc collapsed and the Western Bloc is propped up through violence, war, and deceit, and does not appear to have a bright outlook.
The passage of time will be to their loss and to the benefit of the Islamic current.
The ultimate goal must be a unified Islamic Ummah and the creation of a new Islamic civilization founded upon faith, rationality, knowledge, and morality.
The liberation of Palestine from the savage claws of the Zionists is also a great objective. The countries of the Balkans, Caucasus, and western Asia were liberated from the claws of the former Soviet Union after eighty years. Why should the Palestinian people not be able to free themselves from the captivity of the oppressor Zionists after seventy years?
The present generation in Islamic countries has the capacity to accomplish such great feats. The young generation of today is a source of pride for the past generations. As noted by the Arab poet:
أبو الصخر من شيبان قلت لهم كلا لعمري و لكن منه شيبانُ
و كم أبٍ قد علا بابنٍ ذُری شَرَفٍ كما علا برسولِ الله عدنانُ
Trust your young generation. Revive their feeling of self-confidence and benefit them by the experiences of the elders.
There are two important points in this connection:

This, in turn, results in the loss of public support and the eventual failure of the revolution.
In sum, to speak of Islamic awakening is not to speak of a nebulous and indistinct concept that is amenable to various interpretations. Rather, it is to speak of a tangible reality in the external world that has filled the atmosphere and resulted in great uprisings and revolutions and removed from the scene some dangerous elements of the enemy. Nonetheless, the scene remains fluid and in need of being shaped and brought to a conclusion. The verses recited at the outset contain a complete and effective set of guidelines, especially in this sensitive and momentous juncture… Though, they are addressed to the Holy Prophet (PBUH), we all are their interlocutors and responsible for adhering to them.

Once again, we will review these verses:
بسماللهالرحمنالرحیم يا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَ لا تُطِعِ الْكافِرينَ وَ الْمُنافِقينَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ عَليماً حَكيماً(1) وَ اتَّبِعْ ما يُوحى إِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ بِما تَعْمَلُونَ خَبيراً (2) وَ تَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ كَفى بِاللَّهِ وَكيلاً.
(In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful. O Prophet! Fear Allah, and hearken not to the unbelievers and the hypocrites: verily Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom. But follow that which comes to thee by inspiration from thy Lord: for Allah is well acquainted with (all) that ye do. And put thy trust in Allah, and enough is Allah as a disposer of affairs.)
والسلام علیکم و رحمة الله

بسمالله الرحمن الرحیم
السلام علیکم و رحمة الله و برکاته
الحمدلله رب العالمین و الصلوة و السلام علی سیدنا محمد و آله الطیبین و صحبه المنتجبین
قال الله العزیز الحكیم : بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم : يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَلا تُطِعِ الْكَافِرِينَ وَالْمُنَافِقِينَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا وَاتَّبِعْ مَا يُوحَى إِلَيْكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرًا وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَكَفَى بِاللَّهِ وَكِيلا
(O Prophet, fear Allah and do not obey the disbelievers and the hypocrites. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Wise. (1). And follow that which is revealed to you from your Lord. Indeed Allah is ever, with what you do, Acquainted. (2) And rely upon Allah; and sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs.(3) Surat Al-Ahzab)
I welcome our honored audience and dear guests. What has brought us here together is the Islamic awakening, which comes from the stronger inspiration and greater understanding among Muslim ummah. This awakening has led to a major development among nations of our region and has brought about uprisings and revolutions that could never have been contemplated in the calculations of the dominant regional and international satanic powers. These are momentous uprising that have razed to the ground the autocratic and imperialist strongholds and vanquished the tyrants guarding them.
There is no doubt that colossal social upheavals have always relied on solid foundation of history and civilization and are products of accumulation of wisdom and experiences. Over the past 150 years, the presence of great intellectual and jihadi personalities that have been opinion leaders and behind Islamic movements in Egypt, Iraq, India and other countries in Asia and Africa has served as precursors and pioneers for the present situation in the Islamic world.
The developments in the 1950’s and 60’s led to coming to power of regimes that were mostly inclined to materialistic ideologies and thoughts, and because of their inherent character fell into the trap of Western imperialist and colonialist powers. These are experiences that are lessons to learn from, and have contributed substantially to evolution of general and profound understanding in the Islamic world.
The Islamic Revolution in Iran that was hailed by Imam Khomeini as “victory of blood over sword”, and establishment of the lasting, robust, courageous and progressive Islamic republic, and its impact on present Islamic awakening is itself a long story that deserves to be debated and researched. There is no doubt that Islamic Revolution of Iran will be accorded a thorough and comprehensive chapter in the analysis and writings of history of the present situation of the Islamic world.
For that reason, the present and mounting facts and truths in the Islamic world are not simply events that are severed from the past historical roots, social and intellectual backgrounds to allow our adversaries and the shallow-minded to present them as a passing wave and short-lived phenomenon in order to snuff out hope in the hearts of nations by their warped and biased analyses.
In this brotherly dialogue with you I want to place greater emphasis on three areas:
1. Taking a glance at the identity of these uprisings and revolutions
2. Major threats and harms lying on their way.
3. Recommendations to find solutions and prevent these threats and harms.
Regarding the first point, I believe the most important element in these revolutions is the actual and mass presence of people in the arena of action, struggle and jihad. They were present, not only with their heart, desire and faith, but also with their body and souls. There is a big difference between this presence and the presence of a military group or even armed combatants in front of uncaring people or even concerned people.
In the events of 1950’s and 60’s in some countries of Africa and Asia, the heavy load of the revolution was not on the shoulder of diverse segments of population and the youth from all parts of the country, but rather on the shoulder of coup d'etat or small and limited armed groups. They decided and acted, and they themselves or the succeeding generation changed their ways as a result of certain motivations. The revolution became its own enemy and the enemy managed again to prevail over their countries.
This is totally different than the change that comes from the people. It is the people that bring their body and soul to the arena of action, and by their jihad and devotion push back and defeat the enemy. It is the people that make the slogans and set the goals, identify and introduce and pursue the enemy. They draw their desired future, although not comprehensively, and as a result do not allow departure from the path of the revolution or conceding to the enemy, or change of course by compromising and the tainted few with special interests, and above all thwart the schemes of enemy’s agents.
In such a grass-root movement, the revolution may be slowed, but can stay away from short-sightedness and being on shaky ground. Quran says “Have you not considered how Allah presents an example, [making] a good word like a good tree, whose root is firmly fixed and its branches [high] in the sky?
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ ضَرَبَ اللّهُ مَثَلاً كَلِمَةً طَيِّبَةً كَشَجَرةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ أَصْلُهَا ثَابِتٌ وَفَرْعُهَا فِي السَّمَاء
Have you not considered how Allah presents an example, [making] a good word like a good tree, whose root is firmly fixed and its branches [high] in the sky? (24" Ibrahim )
When I saw the brave body of the proud people of Egypt on television in Tahrir Square, I became convinced that their revolution will triumph.
Let me confess something to you. After the victory of the Islamic Revolution and the establishment of the Islamic republic in Iran which caused an earthquake among the worldly materialistic rulers in East and West and brought unprecedented uproar and joy to Muslim nations, we expected that Egypt would be next in line to rise. The reason was the history of jihad, progressive thinking and presence of great mojahids and intellectuals in Egypt. I was reciting in my heart this poem by Abu Faras:
أراك عصيّ الدمع شیمتك الصبر ما للهوی نهی علیك و لا أمر ؟
When I saw the people of Egypt in Tahrir Square and squares in other cities, I knew I have received my response. The people of Egypt told me with words coming from their heart:
بلی أنا مشتاق و عندي لوعة ولكن مثلي لایذاع له سرُّ
…This sacred secret was nothing but the motivation and resolve to rise, and gradually people of Egypt cemented this thought in their mind and at a historical juncture they manifested their resolve and entered the arena in a magnificent show of their power.
Tunisia, Yemen, Libya, and Bahrain are no exception to this general rule.
In these revolutions principles, values and goals are not written in prefabricated manifestos of groups and parties, but written in the minds, hearts and desires of each and every person present on the scene and are declared in the context of their slogans and behaviors.
With these signals one can clearly tell that the principles of current revolutions in the region, in Egypt and other countries, are first and foremost the following:
- Revival and renewal of national dignity and respect that have been broken and trampled during long years of dictatorial and corrupt rule and the political domination of America and the West.
- Keeping up the banner of Islam which is the profound faith and longstanding attachment of people and being able to enjoy peace of mind, justice, progress and prosperity that could only be achieved under Islamic Sharia.
- Resistance against the influence and domination of the United States and Europe that have wreaked the greatest damage and humiliation on the peoples of these countries over the past two hundred years.
- Countering the usurper and fictitious Zionist regime that the imperialist powers have planted like a dagger in the heart of this region to serve as a tool to continue their diabolical domination after expelling a whole nation from their historical homeland.
There is no doubt that the revolutions in the region that rely on and demand these principles are not to the liking of America, Europe and the Zionists, and they are going to use all means to deny them, but the truth will not change with their denial.
The widespread participation of people in these revolutions is the most important element that constitutes their identity. Foreign powers that tried everything in their power and used all their schemes to keep in power the tyrannical, corrupt and subservient rulers in these countries and only abandoned them when the people left no choice for them have no right to claim a share in the victory of these revolutions. Even in Libya intervention by America and NATO cannot distort the truth. In Libya, NATO has caused irreparable damage. Had it not been for the military intervention of NATO and America, victory of people might have been delayed, but all these infrastructures would not have been damaged, and innocent women and children killed and then enemies that were accomplices of Qaddafi would not have been able to intervene in this innocent war-torn nation.
People and the elite that are of the people and others who are from the people are the true owners of these revolutions that should be trusted to protect them and draw the path to the future.
2- Regarding the threats and harm, I should first emphasize that although there are threats, but there are also ways to stay safe. Mere presence of threats should not scare nations.
إِنَّ كَيْدَ الشَّيْطَانِ كَانَ ضَعِيفًا
( Indeed, the plot of Satan has ever been weak)
Allah says about a group of mojahids of early Islam:
الَّذِينَ قالَ لَهُمُ النَّاسُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ جَمَعُوا لَكُمْ فَاخْشَوْهُمْ فَزادَهُمْ إِيماناً وَ قالُوا حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ فَانْقَلَبُوا بِنِعْمَةٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ فَضْلٍ لَمْ يَمْسَسْهُمْ سُوءٌ وَ اتَّبَعُوا رِضْوانَ اللَّهِ وَ اللَّهُ ذُو فَضْلٍ عَظِيمٍ
( Those to whom hypocrites said, "Indeed, the people have gathered against you, so fear them." But it [merely] increased them in faith, and they said, "Sufficient for us is Allah, and [He is] the best Disposer of affairs." So they returned with favor from Allah and bounty, no harm having touched them. And they pursued the pleasure of Allah, and Allah is the possessor of great bounty. )
We need to know what these threats are, in order not to be surprised and to be able to find solutions.
We faced these perils and threats after the victory of Islamic Revolution and experienced them. With the grace of Allah and the leadership of Imam Khomeini and sacrifices of our people we managed to sail through them safely. The plots by enemies still continue but so does the firm resolve of our people.
I divide the harm to these movements into two groups: those that have their roots within ourselves and come from our own weaknesses, and those that have been directly planned by the enemy.
The first group of harms is of the following type:
The sense and thought that after the downfall of the corrupt dictator the job is over. The peace of mind and comfort that comes after the victory and afterward the lessening of motivation and weakening of determination are among the first perils, and the most damaging threat is when individuals ask for their share of the spoils of victory.
The story of the Battle of Uhud and the defenders seeking the spoils of victory caused the defeat of Muslims, and the mojahids were reprimanded by God. This is a good example that should never be forgotten. Being shocked and awed by the appearances of the arrogant powers and the feeling of fear from America and other interventionist powers are of these kinds of harm that should be avoided.
The brave and young should throw out these fears from their heart. Trusting the enemy and falling into trap of their smiles and promises is another threat that needs to be avoided by the forerunners and leaders. The enemy must be identified no matter what cover it uses. The nation and the revolution should be protected against the designs of the enemy that at times hide behind the appearances of friendship and supportive gestures. Another side to this page is becoming overconfident and overlooking the enemy. Bravery must be combined with wisdom and good judgment. We must use all treasures of God within ourselves against Satan, al-Jinn wal–Ens. Causing division and pitting revolutionaries against one another and penetration behind the battlefront of struggle is another great harm that needs to be avoided with all your power.
The second group of harm has been experienced by almost all countries of the region during different events. The first harm is the coming to power of those who are committed to America and the West. The West tries after the downfall of its pawns to protect the basic pillars of the system and levers of power, and change the direction by using the same foundation, but with a different head, in order to perpetuate its domination. This means wasting of all your efforts and sacrifices. At this stage, if they face resistance of the people, they try to introduce and offer to the movement and people other alternatives that are designed to divert the course of the movement. This scenario could be recommending government models and constitutions that will again throw the Islamic countries into the trap of cultural, political and economic dependence on the West. This could lead to their influence among the revolutionaries greater financial and media strength of an unreliable current and marginalization of the genuine currents in the revolution. This also means return of the domination of the West and the stronger grip of then outdated Western models that are far from basic principles of the revolution.
If this tactic does not produce the desired result, experience tells us that they will go for anarchy, terrorism, civil war among followers of religions or ethnic communities and tribes, political parties, or even among neighboring nations and governments. Parallel to these actions, they will impose economic siege and sanctions, freeze national assets and launch all-out media war and propaganda. Their intention is to tire out and frustrate people and make the revolutionaries disappointed. Under these circumstances it becomes easy to defeat the revolution. Assassination of the righteous elite of the society and opinion leaders, defamation and vilification of others and even enticing some with money are among usual ploys used by the Western powers and the claimants of civilization morality.
In Iran, the evidence and documents from the U.S. Den of Espionage that fell into the hands of the revolution showed that all these plots were designed by the regime in the United States for the people of Iran for them bringing back the reactionary and dependant rulers in revolutionary countries is a principle that prescribes all these dirty tricks.
In the last part of my remarks, I present recommendations for your consideration and selection that are based on our tangible experiences in Iran and what has been gathered from the precise studies of other countries. Undoubtedly, conditions differ among nations and countries. Nonetheless, there are truths that can prove beneficial for all people.
The first point is that by placing one’s trust in God and believing in the repeated promises of divine victories in the Quran and through astuteness, resolve, and braveness, it is possible to surmount all obstacles and emerge victorious. Of course, the task that you all have taken up is quite grave and momentous. Thus, one must bear great hardship for its sake. The Commander of the Faithful, Imam Ali (`a) says:
“فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَقْصِمْ جَبَّارِي دَهْرٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا بَعْدَ تَمْهِيلٍ وَ رَخَاءٍ وَ لَمْ يَجْبُرْ عَظْمَ أَحَدٍ مِنَ الْأُمَمِ إِلَّا بَعْدَ أَزْلٍ وَ بَلَاءٍ وَ فِي دُونِ مَا اسْتَقْبَلْتُمْ مِنْ عَتْبٍ وَ مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُمْ مِنْ خَطْبٍ مُعْتَبَر..”
The important recommendation is that you must always consider yourself as being present on the scene: فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَانْصَبْ ( So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship].)Therefore, when thou art free, still labor hard), always consider God as present and as your aid: وَإِلَى رَبِّكَ فَارْغَبْ (And to thy Lord turn all thy attention), and must not allow your victories to cause you to become arrogant or negligent:
اِذا جاءَ نَصْرُ اللهِ وَ الْفَتْحُ وَ رَاَيْتَ النّاسَ يَدْخُلُونَ في دينِ اللهِ اَفْواجاً فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَ اسْتَغْفِرْهُ اِنَّهُ كانَ تَوّاباً
(When comes the help of Allah, and victory. And thou dost see the people enter Allah’s Religion in crowds. Celebrate the praises of thy Lord). These are the true foundations of a faithful nation.
Another recommendation is the constant rereading of the principles of revolution. The slogans and principles must be refined and brought in line with the foundations and undisputed principles of Islam. Independence, freedom, justice, refusal to bow to despotism and colonialism, rejection of ethnic, racial, and religious discrimination, and the outright rejection of Zionism, which, today, comprise the pivots of the movements in Islamic countries, are all inspired by Islam and the Quran.
Write down your principles on paper. Preserve your genuine nature with a high degree of sensitivity. Do not allow your enemies to formulate the principles of your future system. Do not allow Islamic principles to be sacrificed for transient interests. Deviation in revolutions starts with deviation in slogans and objectives. Never place your trust in the U.S., NATO, or criminal regimes such as Britain, France, or, Italy, which for long plundered and divided your land among themselves. Look upon them with suspicion and do not believe their smiles. Behind these smiles and promises lies conspiracy and betrayal. Find you own way by resorting to the blessed fountainhead of Islam and give back foreigners’ prescriptions to themselves.
Another important recommendation is to avoid religious, ethnic, racial, tribal, and border disputes. Recognize differences as legitimate and manage them. Reconciliation among Islamic religions is the key to salvation. Those who fan the flames of religious division through apostatizing others are the mercenaries and servants of Satan, even if done inadvertently.
Creating your own system of governance is your main and seminal task. This is a complex and difficult undertaking. Do not allow secular or western liberal or extremist nationalist or leftist Marxist models to be imposed on you.
The leftist Eastern Bloc collapsed and the Western Bloc is propped up through violence, war, and deceit, and does not appear to have a bright outlook.
The passage of time will be to their loss and to the benefit of the Islamic current.
The ultimate goal must be a unified Islamic Ummah and the creation of a new Islamic civilization founded upon faith, rationality, knowledge, and morality.
The liberation of Palestine from the savage claws of the Zionists is also a great objective. The countries of the Balkans, Caucasus, and western Asia were liberated from the claws of the former Soviet Union after eighty years. Why should the Palestinian people not be able to free themselves from the captivity of the oppressor Zionists after seventy years?
The present generation in Islamic countries has the capacity to accomplish such great feats. The young generation of today is a source of pride for the past generations. As noted by the Arab poet:
أبو الصخر من شيبان قلت لهم كلا لعمري و لكن منه شيبانُ
و كم أبٍ قد علا بابنٍ ذُری شَرَفٍ كما علا برسولِ الله عدنانُ
Trust your young generation. Revive their feeling of self-confidence and benefit them by the experiences of the elders.
There are two important points in this connection:
First, one of the most important demands of the people who have revolted and who have been liberated is to have a decisive participation in the management of their countries. And since they believe in Islam, their desire is to have a system of Islamic democracy, i.e. the rulers being elected through the vote of the people and the dominant principles and values of the society being based on the Islamic knowledge and sharia. This can crystallize in various countries, depending on their conditions, through various methods and forms. However, utmost care must be taken not to confuse this with the western liberal democracy. The secular, and at times anti-religious, western democracy is in no way related to the Islamic democracy which is committed to the values and main principles of Islam in its system of government.
The second point relates to the fact that Islamic tenets must not be equated with backwardness, obscurantism, and ignorant and extremist biases. The demarcation between these two must be pronounced. Religious extremism, which is usually attended by violence, is the cause of falling short of the lofty goals of the revolution. This, in turn, results in the loss of public support and the eventual failure of the revolution.
In sum, to speak of Islamic awakening is not to speak of a nebulous and indistinct concept that is amenable to various interpretations. Rather, it is to speak of a tangible reality in the external world that has filled the atmosphere and resulted in great uprisings and revolutions and removed from the scene some dangerous elements of the enemy. Nonetheless, the scene remains fluid and in need of being shaped and brought to a conclusion. The verses recited at the outset contain a complete and effective set of guidelines, especially in this sensitive and momentous juncture… Though, they are addressed to the Holy Prophet (PBUH), we all are their interlocutors and responsible for adhering to them. In these verses, piety (taqwa), in its lofty and broad connotation, is the first recommendation. Then comes the rejection of the orders of the infidels and hypocrites, adherence to the divine revelation, and, finally, trust in God…
Once again, we will review these verses:
بسماللهالرحمنالرحیم يا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَ لا تُطِعِ الْكافِرينَ وَ الْمُنافِقينَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ عَليماً حَكيماً(1) وَ اتَّبِعْ ما يُوحى إِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ بِما تَعْمَلُونَ خَبيراً (2) وَ تَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ كَفى بِاللَّهِ وَكيلاً.
(In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful. O Prophet! Fear Allah, and hearken not to the unbelievers and the hypocrites: verily Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom. But follow that which comes to thee by inspiration from thy Lord: for Allah is well acquainted with (all) that ye do. And put thy trust in Allah, and enough is Allah as a disposer of affairs.)

I welcome our honored audience and dear guests. What has brought us here together is the Islamic awakening, which comes from the stronger inspiration and greater understanding among Muslim ummah. This awakening has led to a major development among nations of our region and has brought about uprisings and revolutions that could never have been contemplated in the calculations of the dominant regional and international satanic powers. These are momentous uprising that have razed to the ground the autocratic and imperialist strongholds and vanquished the tyrants guarding them.
There is no doubt that colossal social upheavals have always relied on solid foundation of history and civilization and are products of accumulation of wisdom and experiences. Over the past 150 years, the presence of great intellectual and jihadi personalities that have been opinion leaders and behind Islamic movements in Egypt, Iraq, India and other countries in Asia and Africa has served as precursors and pioneers for the present situation in the Islamic world.
The developments in the 1950’s and 60’s led to coming to power of regimes that were mostly inclined to materialistic ideologies and thoughts, and because of their inherent character fell into the trap of Western imperialist and colonialist powers. These are experiences that are lessons to learn from, and have contributed substantially to evolution of general and profound understanding in the Islamic world.
The Islamic Revolution in Iran that was hailed by Imam Khomeini as “victory of blood over sword”, and establishment of the lasting, robust, courageous and progressive Islamic republic, and its impact on present Islamic awakening is itself a long story that deserves to be debated and researched. There is no doubt that Islamic Revolution of Iran will be accorded a thorough and comprehensive chapter in the analysis and writings of history of the present situation of the Islamic world.
For that reason, the present and mounting facts and truths in the Islamic world are not simply events that are severed from the past historical roots, social and intellectual backgrounds to allow our adversaries and the shallow-minded to present them as a passing wave and short-lived phenomenon in order to snuff out hope in the hearts of nations by their warped and biased analyses.

الَّذِينَ قالَ لَهُمُ النَّاسُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ جَمَعُوا لَكُمْ فَاخْشَوْهُمْ فَزادَهُمْ إِيماناً وَ قالُوا حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ فَانْقَلَبُوا بِنِعْمَةٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ فَضْلٍ لَمْ يَمْسَسْهُمْ سُوءٌ وَ اتَّبَعُوا رِضْوانَ اللَّهِ وَ اللَّهُ ذُو فَضْلٍ عَظِيمٍ
( Those to whom hypocrites said, \"Indeed, the people have gathered against you, so fear them.\" But it [merely] increased them in faith, and they said, \"Sufficient for us is Allah, and [He is] the best Disposer of affairs.\" So they returned with favor from Allah and bounty, no harm having touched them. And they pursued the pleasure of Allah, and Allah is the possessor of great bounty. )
We need to know what these threats are, in order not to be surprised and to be able to find solutions.
We faced these perils and threats after the victory of Islamic Revolution and experienced them. With the grace of Allah and the leadership of Imam Khomeini and sacrifices of our people we managed to sail through them safely. The plots by enemies still continue but so does the firm resolve of our people.
I divide the harm to these movements into two groups: those that have their roots within ourselves and come from our own weaknesses, and those that have been directly planned by the enemy.
The first group of harms is of the following type:
The sense and thought that after the downfall of the corrupt dictator the job is over. The peace of mind and comfort that comes after the victory and afterward the lessening of motivation and weakening of determination are among the first perils, and the most damaging threat is when individuals ask for their share of the spoils of victory.
The story of the Battle of Uhud and the defenders seeking the spoils of victory caused the defeat of Muslims, and the mojahids were reprimanded by God. This is a good example that should never be forgotten. Being shocked and awed by the appearances of the arrogant powers and the feeling of fear from America and other interventionist powers are of these kinds of harm that should be avoided.
The brave and young should throw out these fears from their heart. Trusting the enemy and falling into trap of their smiles and promises is another threat that needs to be avoided by the forerunners and leaders. The enemy must be identified no matter what cover it uses. The nation and the revolution should be protected against the designs of the enemy that at times hide behind the appearances of friendship and supportive gestures. Another side to this page is becoming overconfident and overlooking the enemy. Bravery must be combined with wisdom and good judgment. We must use all treasures of God within ourselves against Satan, al-Jinn wal–Ens. Causing division and pitting revolutionaries against one another and penetration behind the battlefront of struggle is another great harm that needs to be avoided with all your power.
The second group of harm has been experienced by almost all countries of the region during different events. The first harm is the coming to power of those who are committed to America and the West. The West tries after the downfall of its pawns to protect the basic pillars of the system and levers of power, and change the direction by using the same foundation, but with a different head, in order to perpetuate its domination. This means wasting of all your efforts and sacrifices. At this stage, if they face resistance of the people, they try to introduce and offer to the movement and people other alternatives that are designed to divert the course of the movement. This scenario could be recommending government models and constitutions that will again throw the Islamic countries into the trap of cultural, political and economic dependence on the West. This could lead to their influence among the revolutionaries greater financial and media strength of an unreliable current and marginalization of the genuine currents in the revolution. This also means return of the domination of the West and the stronger grip of then outdated Western models that are far from basic principles of the revolution.
If this tactic does not produce the desired result, experience tells us that they will go for anarchy, terrorism, civil war among followers of religions or ethnic communities and tribes, political parties, or even among neighboring nations and governments. Parallel to these actions, they will impose economic siege and sanctions, freeze national assets and launch all-out media war and propaganda. Their intention is to tire out and frustrate people and make the revolutionaries disappointed. Under these circumstances it becomes easy to defeat the revolution. Assassination of the righteous elite of the society and opinion leaders, defamation and vilification of others and even enticing some with money are among usual ploys used by the Western powers and the claimants of civilization morality.
In Iran, the evidence and documents from the U.S. Den of Espionage that fell into the hands of the revolution showed that all these plots were designed by the regime in the United States for the people of Iran for them bringing back the reactionary and dependant rulers in revolutionary countries is a principle that prescribes all these dirty tricks.
In the last part of my remarks, I present recommendations for your consideration and selection that are based on our tangible experiences in Iran and what has been gathered from the precise studies of other countries. Undoubtedly, conditions differ among nations and countries. Nonetheless, there are truths that can prove beneficial for all people.
The first point is that by placing one’s trust in God and believing in the repeated promises of divine victories in the Quran and through astuteness, resolve, and braveness, it is possible to surmount all obstacles and emerge victorious. Of course, the task that you all have taken up is quite grave and momentous. Thus, one must bear great hardship for its sake. The Commander of the Faithful, Imam Ali (`a) says:
“فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَقْصِمْ جَبَّارِي دَهْرٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا بَعْدَ تَمْهِيلٍ وَ رَخَاءٍ وَ لَمْ يَجْبُرْ عَظْمَ أَحَدٍ مِنَ الْأُمَمِ إِلَّا بَعْدَ أَزْلٍ وَ بَلَاءٍ وَ فِي دُونِ مَا اسْتَقْبَلْتُمْ مِنْ عَتْبٍ وَ مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُمْ مِنْ خَطْبٍ مُعْتَبَر..”
The important recommendation is that you must always consider yourself as being present on the scene: فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَانْصَبْ ( So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship].)Therefore, when thou art free, still labor hard), always consider God as present and as your aid: وَإِلَى رَبِّكَ فَارْغَبْ (And to thy Lord turn all thy attention), and must not allow your victories to cause you to become arrogant or negligent:
اِذا جاءَ نَصْرُ اللهِ وَ الْفَتْحُ وَ رَاَيْتَ النّاسَ يَدْخُلُونَ في دينِ اللهِ اَفْواجاً فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَ اسْتَغْفِرْهُ اِنَّهُ كانَ تَوّاباً
(When comes the help of Allah, and victory. And thou dost see the people enter Allah’s Religion in crowds. Celebrate the praises of thy Lord). These are the true foundations of a faithful nation.
Another recommendation is the constant rereading of the principles of revolution. The slogans and principles must be refined and brought in line with the foundations and undisputed principles of Islam. Independence, freedom, justice, refusal to bow to despotism and colonialism, rejection of ethnic, racial, and religious discrimination, and the outright rejection of Zionism, which, today, comprise the pivots of the movements in Islamic countries, are all inspired by Islam and the Quran.
Write down your principles on paper. Preserve your genuine nature with a high degree of sensitivity. Do not allow your enemies to formulate the principles of your future system. Do not allow Islamic principles to be sacrificed for transient interests. Deviation in revolutions starts with deviation in slogans and objectives. Never place your trust in the U.S., NATO, or criminal regimes such as Britain, France, or, Italy, which for long plundered and divided your land among themselves. Look upon them with suspicion and do not believe their smiles. Behind these smiles and promises lies conspiracy and betrayal. Find you own way by resorting to the blessed fountainhead of Islam and give back foreigners’ prescriptions to themselves.
Another important recommendation is to avoid religious, ethnic, racial, tribal, and border disputes. Recognize differences as legitimate and manage them. Reconciliation among Islamic religions is the key to salvation. Those who fan the flames of religious division through apostatizing others are the mercenaries and servants of Satan, even if done inadvertently.
Creating your own system of governance is your main and seminal task. This is a complex and difficult undertaking. Do not allow secular or western liberal or extremist nationalist or leftist Marxist models to be imposed on you.
The leftist Eastern Bloc collapsed and the Western Bloc is propped up through violence, war, and deceit, and does not appear to have a bright outlook.
The passage of time will be to their loss and to the benefit of the Islamic current.
The ultimate goal must be a unified Islamic Ummah and the creation of a new Islamic civilization founded upon faith, rationality, knowledge, and morality.
The liberation of Palestine from the savage claws of the Zionists is also a great objective. The countries of the Balkans, Caucasus, and western Asia were liberated from the claws of the former Soviet Union after eighty years. Why should the Palestinian people not be able to free themselves from the captivity of the oppressor Zionists after seventy years?
The present generation in Islamic countries has the capacity to accomplish such great feats. The young generation of today is a source of pride for the past generations. As noted by the Arab poet:
أبو الصخر من شيبان قلت لهم كلا لعمري و لكن منه شيبانُ
و كم أبٍ قد علا بابنٍ ذُری شَرَفٍ كما علا برسولِ الله عدنانُ
Trust your young generation. Revive their feeling of self-confidence and benefit them by the experiences of the elders.
There are two important points in this connection:
First, one of the most important demands of the people who have revolted and who have been liberated is to have a decisive participation in the management of their countries. And since they believe in Islam, their desire is to have a system of Islamic democracy, i.e. the rulers being elected through the vote of the people and the dominant principles and values of the society being based on the Islamic knowledge and sharia. This can crystallize in various countries, depending on their conditions, through various methods and forms. However, utmost care must be taken not to confuse this with the western liberal democracy. The secular, and at times anti-religious, western democracy is in no way related to the Islamic democracy which is committed to the values and main principles of Islam in its system of government.
The second point relates to the fact that Islamic tenets must not be equated with backwardness, obscurantism, and ignorant and extremist biases. The demarcation between these two must be pronounced. Religious extremism, which is usually attended by violence, is the cause of falling short of the lofty goals of the revolution. This, in turn, results in the loss of public support and the eventual failure of the revolution.
In sum, to speak of Islamic awakening is not to speak of a nebulous and indistinct concept that is amenable to various interpretations. Rather, it is to speak of a tangible reality in the external world that has filled the atmosphere and resulted in great uprisings and revolutions and removed from the scene some dangerous elements of the enemy. Nonetheless, the scene remains fluid and in need of being shaped and brought to a conclusion. The verses recited at the outset contain a complete and effective set of guidelines, especially in this sensitive and momentous juncture… Though, they are addressed to the Holy Prophet (PBUH), we all are their interlocutors and responsible for adhering to them. In these verses, piety (taqwa), in its lofty and broad connotation, is the first recommendation. Then comes the rejection of the orders of the infidels and hypocrites, adherence to the divine revelation, and, finally, trust in God…
Once again, we will review these verses:
بسماللهالرحمنالرحیم يا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَ لا تُطِعِ الْكافِرينَ وَ الْمُنافِقينَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ عَليماً حَكيماً(1) وَ اتَّبِعْ ما يُوحى إِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ بِما تَعْمَلُونَ خَبيراً (2) وَ تَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ كَفى بِاللَّهِ وَكيلاً.
(In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful. O Prophet! Fear Allah, and hearken not to the unbelievers and the hypocrites: verily Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom. But follow that which comes to thee by inspiration from thy Lord: for Allah is well acquainted with (all) that ye do. And put thy trust in Allah, and enough is Allah as a disposer of affairs.)
والسلام علیکم و رحمة الله

بسمالله الرحمن الرحیم
السلام علیکم و رحمة الله و برکاته
الحمدلله رب العالمین و الصلوة و السلام علی سیدنا محمد و آله الطیبین و صحبه المنتجبین
قال الله العزیز الحكیم : بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم : يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَلا تُطِعِ الْكَافِرِينَ وَالْمُنَافِقِينَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا وَاتَّبِعْ مَا يُوحَى إِلَيْكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرًا وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَكَفَى بِاللَّهِ وَكِيلا
(O Prophet, fear Allah and do not obey the disbelievers and the hypocrites. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Wise. (1). And follow that which is revealed to you from your Lord. Indeed Allah is ever, with what you do, Acquainted. (2) And rely upon Allah; and sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs.(3) Surat Al-Ahzab)
I welcome our honored audience and dear guests. What has brought us here together is the Islamic awakening, which comes from the stronger inspiration and greater understanding among Muslim ummah. This awakening has led to a major development among nations of our region and has brought about uprisings and revolutions that could never have been contemplated in the calculations of the dominant regional and international satanic powers. These are momentous uprising that have razed to the ground the autocratic and imperialist strongholds and vanquished the tyrants guarding them.
There is no doubt that colossal social upheavals have always relied on solid foundation of history and civilization and are products of accumulation of wisdom and experiences. Over the past 150 years, the presence of great intellectual and jihadi personalities that have been opinion leaders and behind Islamic movements in Egypt, Iraq, India and other countries in Asia and Africa has served as precursors and pioneers for the present situation in the Islamic world.
The developments in the 1950’s and 60’s led to coming to power of regimes that were mostly inclined to materialistic ideologies and thoughts, and because of their inherent character fell into the trap of Western imperialist and colonialist powers. These are experiences that are lessons to learn from, and have contributed substantially to evolution of general and profound understanding in the Islamic world.
The Islamic Revolution in Iran that was hailed by Imam Khomeini as “victory of blood over sword”, and establishment of the lasting, robust, courageous and progressive Islamic republic, and its impact on present Islamic awakening is itself a long story that deserves to be debated and researched. There is no doubt that Islamic Revolution of Iran will be accorded a thorough and comprehensive chapter in the analysis and writings of history of the present situation of the Islamic world.
For that reason, the present and mounting facts and truths in the Islamic world are not simply events that are severed from the past historical roots, social and intellectual backgrounds to allow our adversaries and the shallow-minded to present them as a passing wave and short-lived phenomenon in order to snuff out hope in the hearts of nations by their warped and biased analyses.
In this brotherly dialogue with you I want to place greater emphasis on three areas:
1. Taking a glance at the identity of these uprisings and revolutions
2. Major threats and harms lying on their way.
3. Recommendations to find solutions and prevent these threats and harms.
Regarding the first point, I believe the most important element in these revolutions is the actual and mass presence of people in the arena of action, struggle and jihad. They were present, not only with their heart, desire and faith, but also with their body and souls. There is a big difference between this presence and the presence of a military group or even armed combatants in front of uncaring people or even concerned people.
In the events of 1950’s and 60’s in some countries of Africa and Asia, the heavy load of the revolution was not on the shoulder of diverse segments of population and the youth from all parts of the country, but rather on the shoulder of coup d\'etat or small and limited armed groups. They decided and acted, and they themselves or the succeeding generation changed their ways as a result of certain motivations. The revolution became its own enemy and the enemy managed again to prevail over their countries.
This is totally different than the change that comes from the people. It is the people that bring their body and soul to the arena of action, and by their jihad and devotion push back and defeat the enemy. It is the people that make the slogans and set the goals, identify and introduce and pursue the enemy. They draw their desired future, although not comprehensively, and as a result do not allow departure from the path of the revolution or conceding to the enemy, or change of course by compromising and the tainted few with special interests, and above all thwart the schemes of enemy’s agents.
In such a grass-root movement, the revolution may be slowed, but can stay away from short-sightedness and being on shaky ground. Quran says “Have you not considered how Allah presents an example, [making] a good word like a good tree, whose root is firmly fixed and its branches [high] in the sky?
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ ضَرَبَ اللّهُ مَثَلاً كَلِمَةً طَيِّبَةً كَشَجَرةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ أَصْلُهَا ثَابِتٌ وَفَرْعُهَا فِي السَّمَاء
Have you not considered how Allah presents an example, [making] a good word like a good tree, whose root is firmly fixed and its branches [high] in the sky? (24\" Ibrahim )
When I saw the brave body of the proud people of Egypt on television in Tahrir Square, I became convinced that their revolution will triumph.
Let me confess something to you. After the victory of the Islamic Revolution and the establishment of the Islamic republic in Iran which caused an earthquake among the worldly materialistic rulers in East and West and brought unprecedented uproar and joy to Muslim nations, we expected that Egypt would be next in line to rise. The reason was the history of jihad, progressive thinking and presence of great mojahids and intellectuals in Egypt. I was reciting in my heart this poem by Abu Faras:
أراك عصيّ الدمع شیمتك الصبر ما للهوی نهی علیك و لا أمر ؟
When I saw the people of Egypt in Tahrir Square and squares in other cities, I knew I have received my response. The people of Egypt told me with words coming from their heart:
بلی أنا مشتاق و عندي لوعة ولكن مثلي لایذاع له سرُّ
…This sacred secret was nothing but the motivation and resolve to rise, and gradually people of Egypt cemented this thought in their mind and at a historical juncture they manifested their resolve and entered the arena in a magnificent show of their power.
Tunisia, Yemen, Libya, and Bahrain are no exception to this general rule.
In these revolutions principles, values and goals are not written in prefabricated manifestos of groups and parties, but written in the minds, hearts and desires of each and every person present on the scene and are declared in the context of their slogans and behaviors.
With these signals one can clearly tell that the principles of current revolutions in the region, in Egypt and other countries, are first and foremost the following:
- Revival and renewal of national dignity and respect that have been broken and trampled during long years of dictatorial and corrupt rule and the political domination of America and the West.
- Keeping up the banner of Islam which is the profound faith and longstanding attachment of people and being able to enjoy peace of mind, justice, progress and prosperity that could only be achieved under Islamic Sharia.
- Resistance against the influence and domination of the United States and Europe that have wreaked the greatest damage and humiliation on the peoples of these countries over the past two hundred years.
- Countering the usurper and fictitious Zionist regime that the imperialist powers have planted like a dagger in the heart of this region to serve as a tool to continue their diabolical domination after expelling a whole nation from their historical homeland.
There is no doubt that the revolutions in the region that rely on and demand these principles are not to the liking of America, Europe and the Zionists, and they are going to use all means to deny them, but the truth will not change with their denial.
The widespread participation of people in these revolutions is the most important element that constitutes their identity. Foreign powers that tried everything in their power and used all their schemes to keep in power the tyrannical, corrupt and subservient rulers in these countries and only abandoned them when the people left no choice for them have no right to claim a share in the victory of these revolutions. Even in Libya intervention by America and NATO cannot distort the truth. In Libya, NATO has caused irreparable damage. Had it not been for the military intervention of NATO and America, victory of people might have been delayed, but all these infrastructures would not have been damaged, and innocent women and children killed and then enemies that were accomplices of Qaddafi would not have been able to intervene in this innocent war-torn nation.
People and the elite that are of the people and others who are from the people are the true owners of these revolutions that should be trusted to protect them and draw the path to the future.
2- Regarding the threats and harm, I should first emphasize that although there are threats, but there are also ways to stay safe. Mere presence of threats should not scare nations.
إِنَّ كَيْدَ الشَّيْطَانِ كَانَ ضَعِيفًا
( Indeed, the plot of Satan has ever been weak)
Allah says about a group of mojahids of early Islam:
الَّذِينَ قالَ لَهُمُ النَّاسُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ جَمَعُوا لَكُمْ فَاخْشَوْهُمْ فَزادَهُمْ إِيماناً وَ قالُوا حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ فَانْقَلَبُوا بِنِعْمَةٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ فَضْلٍ لَمْ يَمْسَسْهُمْ سُوءٌ وَ اتَّبَعُوا رِضْوانَ اللَّهِ وَ اللَّهُ ذُو فَضْلٍ عَظِيمٍ
( Those to whom hypocrites said, \"Indeed, the people have gathered against you, so fear them.\" But it [merely] increased them in faith, and they said, \"Sufficient for us is Allah, and [He is] the best Disposer of affairs.\" So they returned with favor from Allah and bounty, no harm having touched them. And they pursued the pleasure of Allah, and Allah is the possessor of great bounty. )
We need to know what these threats are, in order not to be surprised and to be able to find solutions.
We faced these perils and threats after the victory of Islamic Revolution and experienced them. With the grace of Allah and the leadership of Imam Khomeini and sacrifices of our people we managed to sail through them safely. The plots by enemies still continue but so does the firm resolve of our people.
I divide the harm to these movements into two groups: those that have their roots within ourselves and come from our own weaknesses, and those that have been directly planned by the enemy.

We must use all treasures of God within ourselves against Satan, al-Jinn wal–Ens. Causing division and pitting revolutionaries against one another and penetration behind the battlefront of struggle is another great harm that needs to be avoided with all your power.
The second group of harm has been experienced by almost all countries of the region during different events. The first harm is the coming to power of those who are committed to America and the West. The West tries after the downfall of its pawns to protect the basic pillars of the system and levers of power, and change the direction by using the same foundation, but with a different head, in order to perpetuate its domination.

Rather, it is to speak of a tangible reality in the external world that has filled the atmosphere and resulted in great uprisings and revolutions and removed from the scene some dangerous elements of the enemy. Nonetheless, the scene remains fluid and in need of being shaped and brought to a conclusion. The verses recited at the outset contain a complete and effective set of guidelines, especially in this sensitive and momentous juncture… Though, they are addressed to the Holy Prophet (PBUH), we all are their interlocutors and responsible for adhering to them. In these verses, piety (taqwa), in its lofty and broad connotation, is the first recommendation. Then comes the rejection of the orders of the infidels and hypocrites, adherence to the divine revelation, and, finally, trust in God…
Once again, we will review these verses:
بسماللهالرحمنالرحیم يا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَ لا تُطِعِ الْكافِرينَ وَ الْمُنافِقينَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ عَليماً حَكيماً(1) وَ اتَّبِعْ ما يُوحى إِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ بِما تَعْمَلُونَ خَبيراً (2) وَ تَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ كَفى بِاللَّهِ وَكيلاً.
(In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful. O Prophet! Fear Allah, and hearken not to the unbelievers and the hypocrites: verily Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom. But follow that which comes to thee by inspiration from thy Lord: for Allah is well acquainted with (all) that ye do. And put thy trust in Allah, and enough is Allah as a disposer of affairs.)

السلام علیکم و رحمة الله و برکاته
الحمدلله رب العالمین و الصلوة و السلام علی سیدنا محمد و آله الطیبین و صحبه المنتجبین
قال الله العزیز الحكیم : بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم : يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَلا تُطِعِ الْكَافِرِينَ وَالْمُنَافِقِينَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا وَاتَّبِعْ مَا يُوحَى إِلَيْكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرًا وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَكَفَى بِاللَّهِ وَكِيلا
(O Prophet, fear Allah and do not obey the disbelievers and the hypocrites. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Wise. (1). And follow that which is revealed to you from your Lord. Indeed Allah is ever, with what you do, Acquainted. (2) And rely upon Allah; and sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs.(3) Surat Al-Ahzab)
I welcome our honored audience and dear guests. What has brought us here together is the Islamic awakening, which comes from the stronger inspiration and greater understanding among Muslim ummah. This awakening has led to a major development among nations of our region and has brought about uprisings and revolutions that could never have been contemplated in the calculations of the dominant regional and international satanic powers. These are momentous uprising that have razed to the ground the autocratic and imperialist strongholds and vanquished the tyrants guarding them.
There is no doubt that colossal social upheavals have always relied on solid foundation of history and civilization and are products of accumulation of wisdom and experiences. Over the past 150 years, the presence of great intellectual and jihadi personalities that have been opinion leaders and behind Islamic movements in Egypt, Iraq, India and other countries in Asia and Africa has served as precursors and pioneers for the present situation in the Islamic world.
The developments in the 1950’s and 60’s led to coming to power of regimes that were mostly inclined to materialistic ideologies and thoughts, and because of their inherent character fell into the trap of Western imperialist and colonialist powers. These are experiences that are lessons to learn from, and have contributed substantially to evolution of general and profound understanding in the Islamic world.
The Islamic Revolution in Iran that was hailed by Imam Khomeini as “victory of blood over sword”, and establishment of the lasting, robust, courageous and progressive Islamic republic, and its impact on present Islamic awakening is itself a long story that deserves to be debated and researched. There is no doubt that Islamic Revolution of Iran will be accorded a thorough and comprehensive chapter in the analysis and writings of history of the present situation of the Islamic world.
For that reason, the present and mounting facts and truths in the Islamic world are not simply events that are severed from the past historical roots, social and intellectual backgrounds to allow our adversaries and the shallow-minded to present them as a passing wave and short-lived phenomenon in order to snuff out hope in the hearts of nations by their warped and biased analyses.
In this brotherly dialogue with you I want to place greater emphasis on three areas:
1. Taking a glance at the identity of these uprisings and revolutions
2. Major threats and harms lying on their way.
3. Recommendations to find solutions and prevent these threats and harms.
Regarding the first point, I believe the most important element in these revolutions is the actual and mass presence of people in the arena of action, struggle and jihad. They were present, not only with their heart, desire and faith, but also with their body and souls. There is a big difference between this presence and the presence of a military group or even armed combatants in front of uncaring people or even concerned people.
In the events of 1950’s and 60’s in some countries of Africa and Asia, the heavy load of the revolution was not on the shoulder of diverse segments of population and the youth from all parts of the country, but rather on the shoulder of coup d\'etat or small and limited armed groups. They decided and acted, and they themselves or the succeeding generation changed their ways as a result of certain motivations. The revolution became its own enemy and the enemy managed again to prevail over their countries.
This is totally different than the change that comes from the people. It is the people that bring their body and soul to the arena of action, and by their jihad and devotion push back and defeat the enemy. It is the people that make the slogans and set the goals, identify and introduce and pursue the enemy. They draw their desired future, although not comprehensively, and as a result do not allow departure from the path of the revolution or conceding to the enemy, or change of course by compromising and the tainted few with special interests, and above all thwart the schemes of enemy’s agents.
In such a grass-root movement, the revolution may be slowed, but can stay away from short-sightedness and being on shaky ground. Quran says “Have you not considered how Allah presents an example, [making] a good word like a good tree, whose root is firmly fixed and its branches [high] in the sky?
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ ضَرَبَ اللّهُ مَثَلاً كَلِمَةً طَيِّبَةً كَشَجَرةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ أَصْلُهَا ثَابِتٌ وَفَرْعُهَا فِي السَّمَاء
Have you not considered how Allah presents an example, [making] a good word like a good tree, whose root is firmly fixed and its branches [high] in the sky? (24\" Ibrahim )
When I saw the brave body of the proud people of Egypt on television in Tahrir Square, I became convinced that their revolution will triumph.
Let me confess something to you. After the victory of the Islamic Revolution and the establishment of the Islamic republic in Iran which caused an earthquake among the worldly materialistic rulers in East and West and brought unprecedented uproar and joy to Muslim nations, we expected that Egypt would be next in line to rise. The reason was the history of jihad, progressive thinking and presence of great mojahids and intellectuals in Egypt. I was reciting in my heart this poem by Abu Faras:
أراك عصيّ الدمع شیمتك الصبر ما للهوی نهی علیك و لا أمر ؟
When I saw the people of Egypt in Tahrir Square and squares in other cities, I knew I have received my response. The people of Egypt told me with words coming from their heart:
بلی أنا مشتاق و عندي لوعة ولكن مثلي لایذاع له سرُّ
…This sacred secret was nothing but the motivation and resolve to rise, and gradually people of Egypt cemented this thought in their mind and at a historical juncture they manifested their resolve and entered the arena in a magnificent show of their power.
Tunisia, Yemen, Libya, and Bahrain are no exception to this general rule.
In these revolutions principles, values and goals are not written in prefabricated manifestos of groups and parties, but written in the minds, hearts and desires of each and every person present on the scene and are declared in the context of their slogans and behaviors.
With these signals one can clearly tell that the principles of current revolutions in the region, in Egypt and other countries, are first and foremost the following:
- Revival and renewal of national dignity and respect that have been broken and trampled during long years of dictatorial and corrupt rule and the political domination of America and the West.
- Keeping up the banner of Islam which is the profound faith and longstanding attachment of people and being able to enjoy peace of mind, justice, progress and prosperity that could only be achieved under Islamic Sharia.
- Resistance against the influence and domination of the United States and Europe that have wreaked the greatest damage and humiliation on the peoples of these countries over the past two hundred years.
- Countering the usurper and fictitious Zionist regime that the imperialist powers have planted like a dagger in the heart of this region to serve as a tool to continue their diabolical domination after expelling a whole nation from their historical homeland.
There is no doubt that the revolutions in the region that rely on and demand these principles are not to the liking of America, Europe and the Zionists, and they are going to use all means to deny them, but the truth will not change with their denial.
The widespread participation of people in these revolutions is the most important element that constitutes their identity. Foreign powers that tried everything in their power and used all their schemes to keep in power the tyrannical, corrupt and subservient rulers in these countries and only abandoned them when the people left no choice for them have no right to claim a share in the victory of these revolutions. Even in Libya intervention by America and NATO cannot distort the truth. In Libya, NATO has caused irreparable damage. Had it not been for the military intervention of NATO and America, victory of people might have been delayed, but all these infrastructures would not have been damaged, and innocent women and children killed and then enemies that were accomplices of Qaddafi would not have been able to intervene in this innocent war-torn nation.
People and the elite that are of the people and others who are from the people are the true owners of these revolutions that should be trusted to protect them and draw the path to the future.
2- Regarding the threats and harm, I should first emphasize that although there are threats, but there are also ways to stay safe. Mere presence of threats should not scare nations.
إِنَّ كَيْدَ الشَّيْطَانِ كَانَ ضَعِيفًا
( Indeed, the plot of Satan has ever been weak)
Allah says about a group of mojahids of early Islam:
الَّذِينَ قالَ لَهُمُ النَّاسُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ جَمَعُوا لَكُمْ فَاخْشَوْهُمْ فَزادَهُمْ إِيماناً وَ قالُوا حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ فَانْقَلَبُوا بِنِعْمَةٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ فَضْلٍ لَمْ يَمْسَسْهُمْ سُوءٌ وَ اتَّبَعُوا رِضْوانَ اللَّهِ وَ اللَّهُ ذُو فَضْلٍ عَظِيمٍ
( Those to whom hypocrites said, \"Indeed, the people have gathered against you, so fear them.\" But it [merely] increased them in faith, and they said, \"Sufficient for us is Allah, and [He is] the best Disposer of affairs.\" So they returned with favor from Allah and bounty, no harm having touched them. And they pursued the pleasure of Allah, and Allah is the possessor of great bounty. )
We need to know what these threats are, in order not to be surprised and to be able to find solutions.
We faced these perils and threats after the victory of Islamic Revolution and experienced them. With the grace of Allah and the leadership of Imam Khomeini and sacrifices of our people we managed to sail through them safely. The plots by enemies still continue but so does the firm resolve of our people.
I divide the harm to these movements into two groups: those that have their roots within ourselves and come from our own weaknesses, and those that have been directly planned by the enemy.
The first group of harms is of the following type:
The sense and thought that after the downfall of the corrupt dictator the job is over. The peace of mind and comfort that comes after the victory and afterward the lessening of motivation and weakening of determination are among the first perils, and the most damaging threat is when individuals ask for their share of the spoils of victory.
The story of the Battle of Uhud and the defenders seeking the spoils of victory caused the defeat of Muslims, and the mojahids were reprimanded by God. This is a good example that should never be forgotten. Being shocked and awed by the appearances of the arrogant powers and the feeling of fear from America and other interventionist powers are of these kinds of harm that should be avoided.
The brave and young should throw out these fears from their heart. Trusting the enemy and falling into trap of their smiles and promises is another threat that needs to be avoided by the forerunners and leaders. The enemy must be identified no matter what cover it uses. The nation and the revolution should be protected against the designs of the enemy that at times hide behind the appearances of friendship and supportive gestures. Another side to this page is becoming overconfident and overlooking the enemy. Bravery must be combined with wisdom and good judgment. We must use all treasures of God within ourselves against Satan, al-Jinn wal–Ens. Causing division and pitting revolutionaries against one another and penetration behind the battlefront of struggle is another great harm that needs to be avoided with all your power.
The second group of harm has been experienced by almost all countries of the region during different events. The first harm is the coming to power of those who are committed to America and the West. The West tries after the downfall of its pawns to protect the basic pillars of the system and levers of power, and change the direction by using the same foundation, but with a different head, in order to perpetuate its domination. This means wasting of all your efforts and sacrifices. At this stage, if they face resistance of the people, they try to introduce and offer to the movement and people other alternatives that are designed to divert the course of the movement. This scenario could be recommending government models and constitutions that will again throw the Islamic countries into the trap of cultural, political and economic dependence on the West. This could lead to their influence among the revolutionaries greater financial and media strength of an unreliable current and marginalization of the genuine currents in the revolution. This also means return of the domination of the West and the stronger grip of then outdated Western models that are far from basic principles of the revolution.
If this tactic does not produce the desired result, experience tells us that they will go for anarchy, terrorism, civil war among followers of religions or ethnic communities and tribes, political parties, or even among neighboring nations and governments. Parallel to these actions, they will impose economic siege and sanctions, freeze national assets and launch all-out media war and propaganda. Their intention is to tire out and frustrate people and make the revolutionaries disappointed. Under these circumstances it becomes easy to defeat the revolution. Assassination of the righteous elite of the society and opinion leaders, defamation and vilification of others and even enticing some with money are among usual ploys used by the Western powers and the claimants of civilization morality.
In Iran, the evidence and documents from the U.S. Den of Espionage that fell into the hands of the revolution showed that all these plots were designed by the regime in the United States for the people of Iran for them bringing back the reactionary and dependant rulers in revolutionary countries is a principle that prescribes all these dirty tricks.
In the last part of my remarks, I present recommendations for your consideration and selection that are based on our tangible experiences in Iran and what has been gathered from the precise studies of other countries. Undoubtedly, conditions differ among nations and countries. Nonetheless, there are truths that can prove beneficial for all people.
The first point is that by placing one’s trust in God and believing in the repeated promises of divine victories in the Quran and through astuteness, resolve, and braveness, it is possible to surmount all obstacles and emerge victorious. Of course, the task that you all have taken up is quite grave and momentous. Thus, one must bear great hardship for its sake. The Commander of the Faithful, Imam Ali (`a) says:
“فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَقْصِمْ جَبَّارِي دَهْرٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا بَعْدَ تَمْهِيلٍ وَ رَخَاءٍ وَ لَمْ يَجْبُرْ عَظْمَ أَحَدٍ مِنَ الْأُمَمِ إِلَّا بَعْدَ أَزْلٍ وَ بَلَاءٍ وَ فِي دُونِ مَا اسْتَقْبَلْتُمْ مِنْ عَتْبٍ وَ مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُمْ مِنْ خَطْبٍ مُعْتَبَر..”
The important recommendation is that you must always consider yourself as being present on the scene: فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَانْصَبْ ( So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship].)Therefore, when thou art free, still labor hard), always consider God as present and as your aid: وَإِلَى رَبِّكَ فَارْغَبْ (And to thy Lord turn all thy attention), and must not allow your victories to cause you to become arrogant or negligent:
اِذا جاءَ نَصْرُ اللهِ وَ الْفَتْحُ وَ رَاَيْتَ النّاسَ يَدْخُلُونَ في دينِ اللهِ اَفْواجاً فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَ اسْتَغْفِرْهُ اِنَّهُ كانَ تَوّاباً
(When comes the help of Allah, and victory. And thou dost see the people enter Allah’s Religion in crowds. Celebrate the praises of thy Lord). These are the true foundations of a faithful nation.
Another recommendation is the constant rereading of the principles of revolution. The slogans and principles must be refined and brought in line with the foundations and undisputed principles of Islam. Independence, freedom, justice, refusal to bow to despotism and colonialism, rejection of ethnic, racial, and religious discrimination, and the outright rejection of Zionism, which, today, comprise the pivots of the movements in Islamic countries, are all inspired by Islam and the Quran.
Write down your principles on paper. Preserve your genuine nature with a high degree of sensitivity. Do not allow your enemies to formulate the principles of your future system. Do not allow Islamic principles to be sacrificed for transient interests. Deviation in revolutions starts with deviation in slogans and objectives. Never place your trust in the U.S., NATO, or criminal regimes such as Britain, France, or, Italy, which for long plundered and divided your land among themselves. Look upon them with suspicion and do not believe their smiles. Behind these smiles and promises lies conspiracy and betrayal. Find you own way by resorting to the blessed fountainhead of Islam and give back foreigners’ prescriptions to themselves.
Another important recommendation is to avoid religious, ethnic, racial, tribal, and border disputes. Recognize differences as legitimate and manage them. Reconciliation among Islamic religions is the key to salvation. Those who fan the flames of religious division through apostatizing others are the mercenaries and servants of Satan, even if done inadvertently.
Creating your own system of governance is your main and seminal task. This is a complex and difficult undertaking. Do not allow secular or western liberal or extremist nationalist or leftist Marxist models to be imposed on you.
The leftist Eastern Bloc collapsed and the Western Bloc is propped up through violence, war, and deceit, and does not appear to have a bright outlook.
The passage of time will be to their loss and to the benefit of the Islamic current.
The ultimate goal must be a unified Islamic Ummah and the creation of a new Islamic civilization founded upon faith, rationality, knowledge, and morality.
The liberation of Palestine from the savage claws of the Zionists is also a great objective. The countries of the Balkans, Caucasus, and western Asia were liberated from the claws of the former Soviet Union after eighty years. Why should the Palestinian people not be able to free themselves from the captivity of the oppressor Zionists after seventy years?
The present generation in Islamic countries has the capacity to accomplish such great feats. The young generation of today is a source of pride for the past generations. As noted by the Arab poet:
أبو الصخر من شيبان قلت لهم كلا لعمري و لكن منه شيبانُ
و كم أبٍ قد علا بابنٍ ذُری شَرَفٍ كما علا برسولِ الله عدنانُ
Trust your young generation. Revive their feeling of self-confidence and benefit them by the experiences of the elders.
There are two important points in this connection:
First, one of the most important demands of the people who have revolted and who have been liberated is to have a decisive participation in the management of their countries. And since they believe in Islam, their desire is to have a system of Islamic democracy, i.e. the rulers being elected through the vote of the people and the dominant principles and values of the society being based on the Islamic knowledge and sharia. This can crystallize in various countries, depending on their conditions, through various methods and forms. However, utmost care must be taken not to confuse this with the western liberal democracy. The secular, and at times anti-religious, western democracy is in no way related to the Islamic democracy which is committed to the values and main principles of Islam in its system of government.
The second point relates to the fact that Islamic tenets must not be equated with backwardness, obscurantism, and ignorant and extremist biases. The demarcation between these two must be pronounced. Religious extremism, which is usually attended by violence, is the cause of falling short of the lofty goals of the revolution. This, in turn, results in the loss of public support and the eventual failure of the revolution.
In sum, to speak of Islamic awakening is not to speak of a nebulous and indistinct concept that is amenable to various interpretations. Rather, it is to speak of a tangible reality in the external world that has filled the atmosphere and resulted in great uprisings and revolutions and removed from the scene some dangerous elements of the enemy. Nonetheless, the scene remains fluid and in need of being shaped and brought to a conclusion. The verses recited at the outset contain a complete and effective set of guidelines, especially in this sensitive and momentous juncture… Though, they are addressed to the Holy Prophet (PBUH), we all are their interlocutors and responsible for adhering to them. In these verses, piety (taqwa), in its lofty and broad connotation, is the first recommendation. Then comes the rejection of the orders of the infidels and hypocrites, adherence to the divine revelation, and, finally, trust in God…
Once again, we will review these verses:
بسماللهالرحمنالرحیم يا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَ لا تُطِعِ الْكافِرينَ وَ الْمُنافِقينَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ عَليماً حَكيماً(1) وَ اتَّبِعْ ما يُوحى إِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ بِما تَعْمَلُونَ خَبيراً (2) وَ تَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ كَفى بِاللَّهِ وَكيلاً.
(In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful. O Prophet! Fear Allah, and hearken not to the unbelievers and the hypocrites: verily Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom. But follow that which comes to thee by inspiration from thy Lord: for Allah is well acquainted with (all) that ye do. And put thy trust in Allah, and enough is Allah as a disposer of affairs.)

Had it not been for the military intervention of NATO and America, victory of people might have been delayed, but all these infrastructures would not have been damaged, and innocent women and children killed and then enemies that were accomplices of Qaddafi would not have been able to intervene in this innocent war-torn nation.
People and the elite that are of the people and others who are from the people are the true owners of these revolutions that should be trusted to protect them and draw the path to the future.
2- Regarding the threats and harm, I should first emphasize that although there are threats, but there are also ways to stay safe. Mere presence of threats should not scare nations.
إِنَّ كَيْدَ الشَّيْطَانِ كَانَ ضَعِيفًا
( Indeed, the plot of Satan has ever been weak)
Allah says about a group of mojahids of early Islam:
الَّذِينَ قالَ لَهُمُ النَّاسُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ جَمَعُوا لَكُمْ فَاخْشَوْهُمْ فَزادَهُمْ إِيماناً وَ قالُوا حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ فَانْقَلَبُوا بِنِعْمَةٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ فَضْلٍ لَمْ يَمْسَسْهُمْ سُوءٌ وَ اتَّبَعُوا رِضْوانَ اللَّهِ وَ اللَّهُ ذُو فَضْلٍ عَظِيمٍ
( Those to whom hypocrites said, \"Indeed, the people have gathered against you, so fear them.\" But it [merely] increased them in faith, and they said, \"Sufficient for us is Allah, and [He is] the best Disposer of affairs.\" So they returned with favor from Allah and bounty, no harm having touched them. And they pursued the pleasure of Allah, and Allah is the possessor of great bounty. )
We need to know what these threats are, in order not to be surprised and to be able to find solutions.
We faced these perils and threats after the victory of Islamic Revolution and experienced them. With the grace of Allah and the leadership of Imam Khomeini and sacrifices of our people we managed to sail through them safely. The plots by enemies still continue but so does the firm resolve of our people.
I divide the harm to these movements into two groups: those that have their roots within ourselves and come from our own weaknesses, and those that have been directly planned by the enemy.
The first group of harms is of the following type:
The sense and thought that after the downfall of the corrupt dictator the job is over. The peace of mind and comfort that comes after the victory and afterward the lessening of motivation and weakening of determination are among the first perils, and the most damaging threat is when individuals ask for their share of the spoils of victory.
The story of the Battle of Uhud and the defenders seeking the spoils of victory caused the defeat of Muslims, and the mojahids were reprimanded by God. This is a good example that should never be forgotten. Being shocked and awed by the appearances of the arrogant powers and the feeling of fear from America and other interventionist powers are of these kinds of harm that should be avoided.
The brave and young should throw out these fears from their heart. Trusting the enemy and falling into trap of their smiles and promises is another threat that needs to be avoided by the forerunners and leaders. The enemy must be identified no matter what cover it uses. The nation and the revolution should be protected against the designs of the enemy that at times hide behind the appearances of friendship and supportive gestures. Another side to this page is becoming overconfident and overlooking the enemy. Bravery must be combined with wisdom and good judgment. We must use all treasures of God within ourselves against Satan, al-Jinn wal–Ens. Causing division and pitting revolutionaries against one another and penetration behind the battlefront of struggle is another great harm that needs to be avoided with all your power.
The second group of harm has been experienced by almost all countries of the region during different events. The first harm is the coming to power of those who are committed to America and the West. The West tries after the downfall of its pawns to protect the basic pillars of the system and levers of power, and change the direction by using the same foundation, but with a different head, in order to perpetuate its domination. This means wasting of all your efforts and sacrifices. At this stage, if they face resistance of the people, they try to introduce and offer to the movement and people other alternatives that are designed to divert the course of the movement. This scenario could be recommending government models and constitutions that will again throw the Islamic countries into the trap of cultural, political and economic dependence on the West. This could lead to their influence among the revolutionaries greater financial and media strength of an unreliable current and marginalization of the genuine currents in the revolution. This also means return of the domination of the West and the stronger grip of then outdated Western models that are far from basic principles of the revolution.
If this tactic does not produce the desired result, experience tells us that they will go for anarchy, terrorism, civil war among followers of religions or ethnic communities and tribes, political parties, or even among neighboring nations and governments. Parallel to these actions, they will impose economic siege and sanctions, freeze national assets and launch all-out media war and propaganda. Their intention is to tire out and frustrate people and make the revolutionaries disappointed. Under these circumstances it becomes easy to defeat the revolution. Assassination of the righteous elite of the society and opinion leaders, defamation and vilification of others and even enticing some with money are among usual ploys used by the Western powers and the claimants of civilization morality.
In Iran, the evidence and documents from the U.S. Den of Espionage that fell into the hands of the revolution showed that all these plots were designed by the regime in the United States for the people of Iran for them bringing back the reactionary and dependant rulers in revolutionary countries is a principle that prescribes all these dirty tricks.
In the last part of my remarks, I present recommendations for your consideration and selection that are based on our tangible experiences in Iran and what has been gathered from the precise studies of other countries. Undoubtedly, conditions differ among nations and countries. Nonetheless, there are truths that can prove beneficial for all people.
The first point is that by placing one’s trust in God and believing in the repeated promises of divine victories in the Quran and through astuteness, resolve, and braveness, it is possible to surmount all obstacles and emerge victorious. Of course, the task that you all have taken up is quite grave and momentous. Thus, one must bear great hardship for its sake. The Commander of the Faithful, Imam Ali (`a) says:
“فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَقْصِمْ جَبَّارِي دَهْرٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا بَعْدَ تَمْهِيلٍ وَ رَخَاءٍ وَ لَمْ يَجْبُرْ عَظْمَ أَحَدٍ مِنَ الْأُمَمِ إِلَّا بَعْدَ أَزْلٍ وَ بَلَاءٍ وَ فِي دُونِ مَا اسْتَقْبَلْتُمْ مِنْ عَتْبٍ وَ مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُمْ مِنْ خَطْبٍ مُعْتَبَر..”
The important recommendation is that you must always consider yourself as being present on the scene: فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَانْصَبْ ( So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship].)Therefore, when thou art free, still labor hard), always consider God as present and as your aid: وَإِلَى رَبِّكَ فَارْغَبْ (And to thy Lord turn all thy attention), and must not allow your victories to cause you to become arrogant or negligent:
اِذا جاءَ نَصْرُ اللهِ وَ الْفَتْحُ وَ رَاَيْتَ النّاسَ يَدْخُلُونَ في دينِ اللهِ اَفْواجاً فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَ اسْتَغْفِرْهُ اِنَّهُ كانَ تَوّاباً
(When comes the help of Allah, and victory. And thou dost see the people enter Allah’s Religion in crowds. Celebrate the praises of thy Lord). These are the true foundations of a faithful nation.
Another recommendation is the constant rereading of the principles of revolution. The slogans and principles must be refined and brought in line with the foundations and undisputed principles of Islam. Independence, freedom, justice, refusal to bow to despotism and colonialism, rejection of ethnic, racial, and religious discrimination, and the outright rejection of Zionism, which, today, comprise the pivots of the movements in Islamic countries, are all inspired by Islam and the Quran.
Write down your principles on paper. Preserve your genuine nature with a high degree of sensitivity. Do not allow your enemies to formulate the principles of your future system. Do not allow Islamic principles to be sacrificed for transient interests. Deviation in revolutions starts with deviation in slogans and objectives. Never place your trust in the U.S., NATO, or criminal regimes such as Britain, France, or, Italy, which for long plundered and divided your land among themselves. Look upon them with suspicion and do not believe their smiles. Behind these smiles and promises lies conspiracy and betrayal. Find you own way by resorting to the blessed fountainhead of Islam and give back foreigners’ prescriptions to themselves.
Another important recommendation is to avoid religious, ethnic, racial, tribal, and border disputes. Recognize differences as legitimate and manage them. Reconciliation among Islamic religions is the key to salvation. Those who fan the flames of religious division through apostatizing others are the mercenaries and servants of Satan, even if done inadvertently.
Creating your own system of governance is your main and seminal task. This is a complex and difficult undertaking. Do not allow secular or western liberal or extremist nationalist or leftist Marxist models to be imposed on you.
The leftist Eastern Bloc collapsed and the Western Bloc is propped up through violence, war, and deceit, and does not appear to have a bright outlook.
The passage of time will be to their loss and to the benefit of the Islamic current.
The ultimate goal must be a unified Islamic Ummah and the creation of a new Islamic civilization founded upon faith, rationality, knowledge, and morality.
The liberation of Palestine from the savage claws of the Zionists is also a great objective. The countries of the Balkans, Caucasus, and western Asia were liberated from the claws of the former Soviet Union after eighty years. Why should the Palestinian people not be able to free themselves from the captivity of the oppressor Zionists after seventy years?
The present generation in Islamic countries has the capacity to accomplish such great feats. The young generation of today is a source of pride for the past generations. As noted by the Arab poet:
أبو الصخر من شيبان قلت لهم كلا لعمري و لكن منه شيبانُ
و كم أبٍ قد علا بابنٍ ذُری شَرَفٍ كما علا برسولِ الله عدنانُ
Trust your young generation. Revive their feeling of self-confidence and benefit them by the experiences of the elders.
There are two important points in this connection:
First, one of the most important demands of the people who have revolted and who have been liberated is to have a decisive participation in the management of their countries. And since they believe in Islam, their desire is to have a system of Islamic democracy, i.e. the rulers being elected through the vote of the people and the dominant principles and values of the society being based on the Islamic knowledge and sharia. This can crystallize in various countries, depending on their conditions, through various methods and forms. However, utmost care must be taken not to confuse this with the western liberal democracy. The secular, and at times anti-religious, western democracy is in no way related to the Islamic democracy which is committed to the values and main principles of Islam in its system of government.
The second point relates to the fact that Islamic tenets must not be equated with backwardness, obscurantism, and ignorant and extremist biases. The demarcation between these two must be pronounced. Religious extremism, which is usually attended by violence, is the cause of falling short of the lofty goals of the revolution. This, in turn, results in the loss of public support and the eventual failure of the revolution.
In sum, to speak of Islamic awakening is not to speak of a nebulous and indistinct concept that is amenable to various interpretations. Rather, it is to speak of a tangible reality in the external world that has filled the atmosphere and resulted in great uprisings and revolutions and removed from the scene some dangerous elements of the enemy. Nonetheless, the scene remains fluid and in need of being shaped and brought to a conclusion. The verses recited at the outset contain a complete and effective set of guidelines, especially in this sensitive and momentous juncture… Though, they are addressed to the Holy Prophet (PBUH), we all are their interlocutors and responsible for adhering to them. In these verses, piety (taqwa), in its lofty and broad connotation, is the first recommendation. Then comes the rejection of the orders of the infidels and hypocrites, adherence to the divine revelation, and, finally, trust in God…
Once again, we will review these verses:
بسماللهالرحمنالرحیم يا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَ لا تُطِعِ الْكافِرينَ وَ الْمُنافِقينَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ عَليماً حَكيماً(1) وَ اتَّبِعْ ما يُوحى إِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ بِما تَعْمَلُونَ خَبيراً (2) وَ تَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ كَفى بِاللَّهِ وَكيلاً.
(In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful. O Prophet! Fear Allah, and hearken not to the unbelievers and the hypocrites: verily Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom. But follow that which comes to thee by inspiration from thy Lord: for Allah is well acquainted with (all) that ye do. And put thy trust in Allah, and enough is Allah as a disposer of affairs.)
والسلام علیکم و رحمة الله

بسمالله الرحمن الرحیم
السلام علیکم و رحمة الله و برکاته
الحمدلله رب العالمین و الصلوة و السلام علی سیدنا محمد و آله الطیبین و صحبه المنتجبین
قال الله العزیز الحكیم : بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم : يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَلا تُطِعِ الْكَافِرِينَ وَالْمُنَافِقِينَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا وَاتَّبِعْ مَا يُوحَى إِلَيْكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرًا وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَكَفَى بِاللَّهِ وَكِيلا
(O Prophet, fear Allah and do not obey the disbelievers and the hypocrites. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Wise. (1). And follow that which is revealed to you from your Lord. Indeed Allah is ever, with what you do, Acquainted. (2) And rely upon Allah; and sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs.(3) Surat Al-Ahzab)
I welcome our honored audience and dear guests. What has brought us here together is the Islamic awakening, which comes from the stronger inspiration and greater understanding among Muslim ummah. This awakening has led to a major development among nations of our region and has brought about uprisings and revolutions that could never have been contemplated in the calculations of the dominant regional and international satanic powers. These are momentous uprising that have razed to the ground the autocratic and imperialist strongholds and vanquished the tyrants guarding them.
There is no doubt that colossal social upheavals have always relied on solid foundation of history and civilization and are products of accumulation of wisdom and experiences. Over the past 150 years, the presence of great intellectual and jihadi personalities that have been opinion leaders and behind Islamic movements in Egypt, Iraq, India and other countries in Asia and Africa has served as precursors and pioneers for the present situation in the Islamic world.
The developments in the 1950’s and 60’s led to coming to power of regimes that were mostly inclined to materialistic ideologies and thoughts, and because of their inherent character fell into the trap of Western imperialist and colonialist powers. These are experiences that are lessons to learn from, and have contributed substantially to evolution of general and profound understanding in the Islamic world.
The Islamic Revolution in Iran that was hailed by Imam Khomeini as “victory of blood over sword”, and establishment of the lasting, robust, courageous and progressive Islamic republic, and its impact on present Islamic awakening is itself a long story that deserves to be debated and researched. There is no doubt that Islamic Revolution of Iran will be accorded a thorough and comprehensive chapter in the analysis and writings of history of the present situation of the Islamic world.
For that reason, the present and mounting facts and truths in the Islamic world are not simply events that are severed from the past historical roots, social and intellectual backgrounds to allow our adversaries and the shallow-minded to present them as a passing wave and short-lived phenomenon in order to snuff out hope in the hearts of nations by their warped and biased analyses.
In this brotherly dialogue with you I want to place greater emphasis on three areas:
1. Taking a glance at the identity of these uprisings and revolutions
2. Major threats and harms lying on their way.
3. Recommendations to find solutions and prevent these threats and harms.
Regarding the first point, I believe the most important element in these revolutions is the actual and mass presence of people in the arena of action, struggle and jihad. They were present, not only with their heart, desire and faith, but also with their body and souls. There is a big difference between this presence and the presence of a military group or even armed combatants in front of uncaring people or even concerned people.
In the events of 1950’s and 60’s in some countries of Africa and Asia, the heavy load of the revolution was not on the shoulder of diverse segments of population and the youth from all parts of the country, but rather on the shoulder of coup d'etat or small and limited armed groups. They decided and acted, and they themselves or the succeeding generation changed their ways as a result of certain motivations. The revolution became its own enemy and the enemy managed again to prevail over their countries.
This is totally different than the change that comes from the people. It is the people that bring their body and soul to the arena of action, and by their jihad and devotion push back and defeat the enemy. It is the people that make the slogans and set the goals, identify and introduce and pursue the enemy. They draw their desired future, although not comprehensively, and as a result do not allow departure from the path of the revolution or conceding to the enemy, or change of course by compromising and the tainted few with special interests, and above all thwart the schemes of enemy’s agents.
In such a grass-root movement, the revolution may be slowed, but can stay away from short-sightedness and being on shaky ground. Quran says “Have you not considered how Allah presents an example, [making] a good word like a good tree, whose root is firmly fixed and its branches [high] in the sky?
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ ضَرَبَ اللّهُ مَثَلاً كَلِمَةً طَيِّبَةً كَشَجَرةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ أَصْلُهَا ثَابِتٌ وَفَرْعُهَا فِي السَّمَاء
Have you not considered how Allah presents an example, [making] a good word like a good tree, whose root is firmly fixed and its branches [high] in the sky? (24" Ibrahim )
When I saw the brave body of the proud people of Egypt on television in Tahrir Square, I became convinced that their revolution will triumph.
Let me confess something to you. After the victory of the Islamic Revolution and the establishment of the Islamic republic in Iran which caused an earthquake among the worldly materialistic rulers in East and West and brought unprecedented uproar and joy to Muslim nations, we expected that Egypt would be next in line to rise. The reason was the history of jihad, progressive thinking and presence of great mojahids and intellectuals in Egypt. I was reciting in my heart this poem by Abu Faras:
أراك عصيّ الدمع شیمتك الصبر ما للهوی نهی علیك و لا أمر ؟
When I saw the people of Egypt in Tahrir Square and squares in other cities, I knew I have received my response. The people of Egypt told me with words coming from their heart:
بلی أنا مشتاق و عندي لوعة ولكن مثلي لایذاع له سرُّ
…This sacred secret was nothing but the motivation and resolve to rise, and gradually people of Egypt cemented this thought in their mind and at a historical juncture they manifested their resolve and entered the arena in a magnificent show of their power.
Tunisia, Yemen, Libya, and Bahrain are no exception to this general rule.
In these revolutions principles, values and goals are not written in prefabricated manifestos of groups and parties, but written in the minds, hearts and desires of each and every person present on the scene and are declared in the context of their slogans and behaviors.
With these signals one can clearly tell that the principles of current revolutions in the region, in Egypt and other countries, are first and foremost the following:
- Revival and renewal of national dignity and respect that have been broken and trampled during long years of dictatorial and corrupt rule and the political domination of America and the West.
- Keeping up the banner of Islam which is the profound faith and longstanding attachment of people and being able to enjoy peace of mind, justice, progress and prosperity that could only be achieved under Islamic Sharia.
- Resistance against the influence and domination of the United States and Europe that have wreaked the greatest damage and humiliation on the peoples of these countries over the past two hundred years.
- Countering the usurper and fictitious Zionist regime that the imperialist powers have planted like a dagger in the heart of this region to serve as a tool to continue their diabolical domination after expelling a whole nation from their historical homeland.
There is no doubt that the revolutions in the region that rely on and demand these principles are not to the liking of America, Europe and the Zionists, and they are going to use all means to deny them, but the truth will not change with their denial.
The widespread participation of people in these revolutions is the most important element that constitutes their identity. Foreign powers that tried everything in their power and used all their schemes to keep in power the tyrannical, corrupt and subservient rulers in these countries and only abandoned them when the people left no choice for them have no right to claim a share in the victory of these revolutions. Even in Libya intervention by America and NATO cannot distort the truth. In Libya, NATO has caused irreparable damage. Had it not been for the military intervention of NATO and America, victory of people might have been delayed, but all these infrastructures would not have been damaged, and innocent women and children killed and then enemies that were accomplices of Qaddafi would not have been able to intervene in this innocent war-torn nation.
People and the elite that are of the people and others who are from the people are the true owners of these revolutions that should be trusted to protect them and draw the path to the future.
2- Regarding the threats and harm, I should first emphasize that although there are threats, but there are also ways to stay safe. Mere presence of threats should not scare nations.
إِنَّ كَيْدَ الشَّيْطَانِ كَانَ ضَعِيفًا
( Indeed, the plot of Satan has ever been weak)
Allah says about a group of mojahids of early Islam:
الَّذِينَ قالَ لَهُمُ النَّاسُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ جَمَعُوا لَكُمْ فَاخْشَوْهُمْ فَزادَهُمْ إِيماناً وَ قالُوا حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ فَانْقَلَبُوا بِنِعْمَةٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ فَضْلٍ لَمْ يَمْسَسْهُمْ سُوءٌ وَ اتَّبَعُوا رِضْوانَ اللَّهِ وَ اللَّهُ ذُو فَضْلٍ عَظِيمٍ
( Those to whom hypocrites said, "Indeed, the people have gathered against you, so fear them." But it [merely] increased them in faith, and they said, "Sufficient for us is Allah, and [He is] the best Disposer of affairs." So they returned with favor from Allah and bounty, no harm having touched them. And they pursued the pleasure of Allah, and Allah is the possessor of great bounty. )
We need to know what these threats are, in order not to be surprised and to be able to find solutions.
We faced these perils and threats after the victory of Islamic Revolution and experienced them. With the grace of Allah and the leadership of Imam Khomeini and sacrifices of our people we managed to sail through them safely. The plots by enemies still continue but so does the firm resolve of our people.
I divide the harm to these movements into two groups: those that have their roots within ourselves and come from our own weaknesses, and those that have been directly planned by the enemy.
The first group of harms is of the following type:

The brave and young should throw out these fears from their heart. Trusting the enemy and falling into trap of their smiles and promises is another threat that needs to be avoided by the forerunners and leaders. The enemy must be identified no matter what cover it uses. The nation and the revolution should be protected against the designs of the enemy that at times hide behind the appearances of friendship and supportive gestures. Another side to this page is becoming overconfident and overlooking the enemy. Bravery must be combined with wisdom and good judgment. We must use all treasures of God within ourselves against Satan, al-Jinn wal–Ens. Causing division and pitting revolutionaries against one another and penetration behind the battlefront of struggle is another great harm that needs to be avoided with all your power.
The second group of harm has been experienced by almost all countries of the region during different events. The first harm is the coming to power of those who are committed to America and the West. The West tries after the downfall of its pawns to protect the basic pillars of the system and levers of power, and change the direction by using the same foundation, but with a different head, in order to perpetuate its domination. This means wasting of all your efforts and sacrifices. At this stage, if they face resistance of the people, they try to introduce and offer to the movement and people other alternatives that are designed to divert the course of the movement. This scenario could be recommending government models and constitutions that will again throw the Islamic countries into the trap of cultural, political and economic dependence on the West. This could lead to their influence among the revolutionaries greater financial and media strength of an unreliable current and marginalization of the genuine currents in the revolution. This also means return of the domination of the West and the stronger grip of then outdated Western models that are far from basic principles of the revolution.
If this tactic does not produce the desired result, experience tells us that they will go for anarchy, terrorism, civil war among followers of religions or ethnic communities and tribes, political parties, or even among neighboring nations and governments. Parallel to these actions, they will impose economic siege and sanctions, freeze national assets and launch all-out media war and propaganda. Their intention is to tire out and frustrate people and make the revolutionaries disappointed. Under these circumstances it becomes easy to defeat the revolution. Assassination of the righteous elite of the society and opinion leaders, defamation and vilification of others and even enticing some with money are among usual ploys used by the Western powers and the claimants of civilization morality.

“فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَقْصِمْ جَبَّارِي دَهْرٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا بَعْدَ تَمْهِيلٍ وَ رَخَاءٍ وَ لَمْ يَجْبُرْ عَظْمَ أَحَدٍ مِنَ الْأُمَمِ إِلَّا بَعْدَ أَزْلٍ وَ بَلَاءٍ وَ فِي دُونِ مَا اسْتَقْبَلْتُمْ مِنْ عَتْبٍ وَ مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُمْ مِنْ خَطْبٍ مُعْتَبَر..”
The important recommendation is that you must always consider yourself as being present on the scene: فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَانْصَبْ ( So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship].)Therefore, when thou art free, still labor hard), always consider God as present and as your aid: وَإِلَى رَبِّكَ فَارْغَبْ (And to thy Lord turn all thy attention), and must not allow your victories to cause you to become arrogant or negligent:
اِذا جاءَ نَصْرُ اللهِ وَ الْفَتْحُ وَ رَاَيْتَ النّاسَ يَدْخُلُونَ في دينِ اللهِ اَفْواجاً فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَ اسْتَغْفِرْهُ اِنَّهُ كانَ تَوّاباً
(When comes the help of Allah, and victory. And thou dost see the people enter Allah’s Religion in crowds. Celebrate the praises of thy Lord). These are the true foundations of a faithful nation.
Another recommendation is the constant rereading of the principles of revolution.

Do not allow Islamic principles to be sacrificed for transient interests. Deviation in revolutions starts with deviation in slogans and objectives. Never place your trust in the U.S., NATO, or criminal regimes such as Britain, France, or, Italy, which for long plundered and divided your land among themselves.

و كم أبٍ قد علا بابنٍ ذُری شَرَفٍ كما علا برسولِ الله عدنانُ
Trust your young generation. Revive their feeling of self-confidence and benefit them by the experiences of the elders.
There are two important points in this connection:
First, one of the most important demands of the people who have revolted and who have been liberated is to have a decisive participation in the management of their countries. And since they believe in Islam, their desire is to have a system of Islamic democracy, i.e. the rulers being elected through the vote of the people and the dominant principles and values of the society being based on the Islamic knowledge and sharia. This can crystallize in various countries, depending on their conditions, through various methods and forms. However, utmost care must be taken not to confuse this with the western liberal democracy. The secular, and at times anti-religious, western democracy is in no way related to the Islamic democracy which is committed to the values and main principles of Islam in its system of government.
The second point relates to the fact that Islamic tenets must not be equated with backwardness, obscurantism, and ignorant and extremist biases. The demarcation between these two must be pronounced. Religious extremism, which is usually attended by violence, is the cause of falling short of the lofty goals of the revolution. This, in turn, results in the loss of public support and the eventual failure of the revolution.
In sum, to speak of Islamic awakening is not to speak of a nebulous and indistinct concept that is amenable to various interpretations. Rather, it is to speak of a tangible reality in the external world that has filled the atmosphere and resulted in great uprisings and revolutions and removed from the scene some dangerous elements of the enemy. Nonetheless, the scene remains fluid and in need of being shaped and brought to a conclusion. The verses recited at the outset contain a complete and effective set of guidelines, especially in this sensitive and momentous juncture… Though, they are addressed to the Holy Prophet (PBUH), we all are their interlocutors and responsible for adhering to them. In these verses, piety (taqwa), in its lofty and broad connotation, is the first recommendation. Then comes the rejection of the orders of the infidels and hypocrites, adherence to the divine revelation, and, finally, trust in God…
Once again, we will review these verses:
بسماللهالرحمنالرحیم يا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَ لا تُطِعِ الْكافِرينَ وَ الْمُنافِقينَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ عَليماً حَكيماً(1) وَ اتَّبِعْ ما يُوحى إِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ بِما تَعْمَلُونَ خَبيراً (2) وَ تَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ كَفى بِاللَّهِ وَكيلاً.
(In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful. O Prophet! Fear Allah, and hearken not to the unbelievers and the hypocrites: verily Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom. But follow that which comes to thee by inspiration from thy Lord: for Allah is well acquainted with (all) that ye do. And put thy trust in Allah, and enough is Allah as a disposer of affairs.)

بسمالله الرحمن الرحیم
السلام علیکم و رحمة الله و برکاته
الحمدلله رب العالمین و الصلوة و السلام علی سیدنا محمد و آله الطیبین و صحبه المنتجبین
قال الله العزیز الحكیم : بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم : يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَلا تُطِعِ الْكَافِرِينَ وَالْمُنَافِقِينَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا وَاتَّبِعْ مَا يُوحَى إِلَيْكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرًا وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَكَفَى بِاللَّهِ وَكِيلا
(O Prophet, fear Allah and do not obey the disbelievers and the hypocrites. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Wise. (1). And follow that which is revealed to you from your Lord. Indeed Allah is ever, with what you do, Acquainted. (2) And rely upon Allah; and sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs.(3) Surat Al-Ahzab)
I welcome our honored audience and dear guests. What has brought us here together is the Islamic awakening, which comes from the stronger inspiration and greater understanding among Muslim ummah. This awakening has led to a major development among nations of our region and has brought about uprisings and revolutions that could never have been contemplated in the calculations of the dominant regional and international satanic powers. These are momentous uprising that have razed to the ground the autocratic and imperialist strongholds and vanquished the tyrants guarding them.
There is no doubt that colossal social upheavals have always relied on solid foundation of history and civilization and are products of accumulation of wisdom and experiences. Over the past 150 years, the presence of great intellectual and jihadi personalities that have been opinion leaders and behind Islamic movements in Egypt, Iraq, India and other countries in Asia and Africa has served as precursors and pioneers for the present situation in the Islamic world.
The developments in the 1950’s and 60’s led to coming to power of regimes that were mostly inclined to materialistic ideologies and thoughts, and because of their inherent character fell into the trap of Western imperialist and colonialist powers. These are experiences that are lessons to learn from, and have contributed substantially to evolution of general and profound understanding in the Islamic world.
The Islamic Revolution in Iran that was hailed by Imam Khomeini as “victory of blood over sword”, and establishment of the lasting, robust, courageous and progressive Islamic republic, and its impact on present Islamic awakening is itself a long story that deserves to be debated and researched. There is no doubt that Islamic Revolution of Iran will be accorded a thorough and comprehensive chapter in the analysis and writings of history of the present situation of the Islamic world.
For that reason, the present and mounting facts and truths in the Islamic world are not simply events that are severed from the past historical roots, social and intellectual backgrounds to allow our adversaries and the shallow-minded to present them as a passing wave and short-lived phenomenon in order to snuff out hope in the hearts of nations by their warped and biased analyses.
In this brotherly dialogue with you I want to place greater emphasis on three areas:
1. Taking a glance at the identity of these uprisings and revolutions
2. Major threats and harms lying on their way.
3. Recommendations to find solutions and prevent these threats and harms.
Regarding the first point, I believe the most important element in these revolutions is the actual and mass presence of people in the arena of action, struggle and jihad. They were present, not only with their heart, desire and faith, but also with their body and souls. There is a big difference between this presence and the presence of a military group or even armed combatants in front of uncaring people or even concerned people.
In the events of 1950’s and 60’s in some countries of Africa and Asia, the heavy load of the revolution was not on the shoulder of diverse segments of population and the youth from all parts of the country, but rather on the shoulder of coup d'etat or small and limited armed groups. They decided and acted, and they themselves or the succeeding generation changed their ways as a result of certain motivations. The revolution became its own enemy and the enemy managed again to prevail over their countries.
This is totally different than the change that comes from the people. It is the people that bring their body and soul to the arena of action, and by their jihad and devotion push back and defeat the enemy. It is the people that make the slogans and set the goals, identify and introduce and pursue the enemy. They draw their desired future, although not comprehensively, and as a result do not allow departure from the path of the revolution or conceding to the enemy, or change of course by compromising and the tainted few with special interests, and above all thwart the schemes of enemy’s agents.
In such a grass-root movement, the revolution may be slowed, but can stay away from short-sightedness and being on shaky ground. Quran says “Have you not considered how Allah presents an example, [making] a good word like a good tree, whose root is firmly fixed and its branches [high] in the sky?
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ ضَرَبَ اللّهُ مَثَلاً كَلِمَةً طَيِّبَةً كَشَجَرةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ أَصْلُهَا ثَابِتٌ وَفَرْعُهَا فِي السَّمَاء
Have you not considered how Allah presents an example, [making] a good word like a good tree, whose root is firmly fixed and its branches [high] in the sky? (24" Ibrahim )
When I saw the brave body of the proud people of Egypt on television in Tahrir Square, I became convinced that their revolution will triumph.
Let me confess something to you. After the victory of the Islamic Revolution and the establishment of the Islamic republic in Iran which caused an earthquake among the worldly materialistic rulers in East and West and brought unprecedented uproar and joy to Muslim nations, we expected that Egypt would be next in line to rise. The reason was the history of jihad, progressive thinking and presence of great mojahids and intellectuals in Egypt. I was reciting in my heart this poem by Abu Faras:
أراك عصيّ الدمع شیمتك الصبر ما للهوی نهی علیك و لا أمر ؟
When I saw the people of Egypt in Tahrir Square and squares in other cities, I knew I have received my response. The people of Egypt told me with words coming from their heart:
بلی أنا مشتاق و عندي لوعة ولكن مثلي لایذاع له سرُّ
…This sacred secret was nothing but the motivation and resolve to rise, and gradually people of Egypt cemented this thought in their mind and at a historical juncture they manifested their resolve and entered the arena in a magnificent show of their power.
Tunisia, Yemen, Libya, and Bahrain are no exception to this general rule.
In these revolutions principles, values and goals are not written in prefabricated manifestos of groups and parties, but written in the minds, hearts and desires of each and every person present on the scene and are declared in the context of their slogans and behaviors.
With these signals one can clearly tell that the principles of current revolutions in the region, in Egypt and other countries, are first and foremost the following:
- Revival and renewal of national dignity and respect that have been broken and trampled during long years of dictatorial and corrupt rule and the political domination of America and the West.
- Keeping up the banner of Islam which is the profound faith and longstanding attachment of people and being able to enjoy peace of mind, justice, progress and prosperity that could only be achieved under Islamic Sharia.
- Resistance against the influence and domination of the United States and Europe that have wreaked the greatest damage and humiliation on the peoples of these countries over the past two hundred years.
- Countering the usurper and fictitious Zionist regime that the imperialist powers have planted like a dagger in the heart of this region to serve as a tool to continue their diabolical domination after expelling a whole nation from their historical homeland.
There is no doubt that the revolutions in the region that rely on and demand these principles are not to the liking of America, Europe and the Zionists, and they are going to use all means to deny them, but the truth will not change with their denial.
The widespread participation of people in these revolutions is the most important element that constitutes their identity. Foreign powers that tried everything in their power and used all their schemes to keep in power the tyrannical, corrupt and subservient rulers in these countries and only abandoned them when the people left no choice for them have no right to claim a share in the victory of these revolutions. Even in Libya intervention by America and NATO cannot distort the truth. In Libya, NATO has caused irreparable damage. Had it not been for the military intervention of NATO and America, victory of people might have been delayed, but all these infrastructures would not have been damaged, and innocent women and children killed and then enemies that were accomplices of Qaddafi would not have been able to intervene in this innocent war-torn nation.
People and the elite that are of the people and others who are from the people are the true owners of these revolutions that should be trusted to protect them and draw the path to the future.
2- Regarding the threats and harm, I should first emphasize that although there are threats, but there are also ways to stay safe. Mere presence of threats should not scare nations.
إِنَّ كَيْدَ الشَّيْطَانِ كَانَ ضَعِيفًا
( Indeed, the plot of Satan has ever been weak)
Allah says about a group of mojahids of early Islam:
الَّذِينَ قالَ لَهُمُ النَّاسُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ جَمَعُوا لَكُمْ فَاخْشَوْهُمْ فَزادَهُمْ إِيماناً وَ قالُوا حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ فَانْقَلَبُوا بِنِعْمَةٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ فَضْلٍ لَمْ يَمْسَسْهُمْ سُوءٌ وَ اتَّبَعُوا رِضْوانَ اللَّهِ وَ اللَّهُ ذُو فَضْلٍ عَظِيمٍ
( Those to whom hypocrites said, "Indeed, the people have gathered against you, so fear them." But it [merely] increased them in faith, and they said, "Sufficient for us is Allah, and [He is] the best Disposer of affairs." So they returned with favor from Allah and bounty, no harm having touched them. And they pursued the pleasure of Allah, and Allah is the possessor of great bounty. )
We need to know what these threats are, in order not to be surprised and to be able to find solutions.
We faced these perils and threats after the victory of Islamic Revolution and experienced them. With the grace of Allah and the leadership of Imam Khomeini and sacrifices of our people we managed to sail through them safely. The plots by enemies still continue but so does the firm resolve of our people.
I divide the harm to these movements into two groups: those that have their roots within ourselves and come from our own weaknesses, and those that have been directly planned by the enemy.
The first group of harms is of the following type:
The sense and thought that after the downfall of the corrupt dictator the job is over. The peace of mind and comfort that comes after the victory and afterward the lessening of motivation and weakening of determination are among the first perils, and the most damaging threat is when individuals ask for their share of the spoils of victory.
The story of the Battle of Uhud and the defenders seeking the spoils of victory caused the defeat of Muslims, and the mojahids were reprimanded by God. This is a good example that should never be forgotten. Being shocked and awed by the appearances of the arrogant powers and the feeling of fear from America and other interventionist powers are of these kinds of harm that should be avoided.
The brave and young should throw out these fears from their heart. Trusting the enemy and falling into trap of their smiles and promises is another threat that needs to be avoided by the forerunners and leaders. The enemy must be identified no matter what cover it uses. The nation and the revolution should be protected against the designs of the enemy that at times hide behind the appearances of friendship and supportive gestures. Another side to this page is becoming overconfident and overlooking the enemy. Bravery must be combined with wisdom and good judgment. We must use all treasures of God within ourselves against Satan, al-Jinn wal–Ens. Causing division and pitting revolutionaries against one another and penetration behind the battlefront of struggle is another great harm that needs to be avoided with all your power.
The second group of harm has been experienced by almost all countries of the region during different events. The first harm is the coming to power of those who are committed to America and the West. The West tries after the downfall of its pawns to protect the basic pillars of the system and levers of power, and change the direction by using the same foundation, but with a different head, in order to perpetuate its domination. This means wasting of all your efforts and sacrifices. At this stage, if they face resistance of the people, they try to introduce and offer to the movement and people other alternatives that are designed to divert the course of the movement. This scenario could be recommending government models and constitutions that will again throw the Islamic countries into the trap of cultural, political and economic dependence on the West. This could lead to their influence among the revolutionaries greater financial and media strength of an unreliable current and marginalization of the genuine currents in the revolution. This also means return of the domination of the West and the stronger grip of then outdated Western models that are far from basic principles of the revolution.
If this tactic does not produce the desired result, experience tells us that they will go for anarchy, terrorism, civil war among followers of religions or ethnic communities and tribes, political parties, or even among neighboring nations and governments. Parallel to these actions, they will impose economic siege and sanctions, freeze national assets and launch all-out media war and propaganda. Their intention is to tire out and frustrate people and make the revolutionaries disappointed. Under these circumstances it becomes easy to defeat the revolution. Assassination of the righteous elite of the society and opinion leaders, defamation and vilification of others and even enticing some with money are among usual ploys used by the Western powers and the claimants of civilization morality.
In Iran, the evidence and documents from the U.S. Den of Espionage that fell into the hands of the revolution showed that all these plots were designed by the regime in the United States for the people of Iran for them bringing back the reactionary and dependant rulers in revolutionary countries is a principle that prescribes all these dirty tricks.
In the last part of my remarks, I present recommendations for your consideration and selection that are based on our tangible experiences in Iran and what has been gathered from the precise studies of other countries. Undoubtedly, conditions differ among nations and countries. Nonetheless, there are truths that can prove beneficial for all people.
The first point is that by placing one’s trust in God and believing in the repeated promises of divine victories in the Quran and through astuteness, resolve, and braveness, it is possible to surmount all obstacles and emerge victorious. Of course, the task that you all have taken up is quite grave and momentous. Thus, one must bear great hardship for its sake. The Commander of the Faithful, Imam Ali (`a) says:
“فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَقْصِمْ جَبَّارِي دَهْرٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا بَعْدَ تَمْهِيلٍ وَ رَخَاءٍ وَ لَمْ يَجْبُرْ عَظْمَ أَحَدٍ مِنَ الْأُمَمِ إِلَّا بَعْدَ أَزْلٍ وَ بَلَاءٍ وَ فِي دُونِ مَا اسْتَقْبَلْتُمْ مِنْ عَتْبٍ وَ مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُمْ مِنْ خَطْبٍ مُعْتَبَر..”
The important recommendation is that you must always consider yourself as being present on the scene: فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَانْصَبْ ( So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship].)Therefore, when thou art free, still labor hard), always consider God as present and as your aid: وَإِلَى رَبِّكَ فَارْغَبْ (And to thy Lord turn all thy attention), and must not allow your victories to cause you to become arrogant or negligent:
اِذا جاءَ نَصْرُ اللهِ وَ الْفَتْحُ وَ رَاَيْتَ النّاسَ يَدْخُلُونَ في دينِ اللهِ اَفْواجاً فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَ اسْتَغْفِرْهُ اِنَّهُ كانَ تَوّاباً
(When comes the help of Allah, and victory. And thou dost see the people enter Allah’s Religion in crowds. Celebrate the praises of thy Lord). These are the true foundations of a faithful nation.
Another recommendation is the constant rereading of the principles of revolution. The slogans and principles must be refined and brought in line with the foundations and undisputed principles of Islam. Independence, freedom, justice, refusal to bow to despotism and colonialism, rejection of ethnic, racial, and religious discrimination, and the outright rejection of Zionism, which, today, comprise the pivots of the movements in Islamic countries, are all inspired by Islam and the Quran.
Write down your principles on paper. Preserve your genuine nature with a high degree of sensitivity. Do not allow your enemies to formulate the principles of your future system. Do not allow Islamic principles to be sacrificed for transient interests. Deviation in revolutions starts with deviation in slogans and objectives. Never place your trust in the U.S., NATO, or criminal regimes such as Britain, France, or, Italy, which for long plundered and divided your land among themselves. Look upon them with suspicion and do not believe their smiles. Behind these smiles and promises lies conspiracy and betrayal. Find you own way by resorting to the blessed fountainhead of Islam and give back foreigners’ prescriptions to themselves.
Another important recommendation is to avoid religious, ethnic, racial, tribal, and border disputes. Recognize differences as legitimate and manage them. Reconciliation among Islamic religions is the key to salvation. Those who fan the flames of religious division through apostatizing others are the mercenaries and servants of Satan, even if done inadvertently.
Creating your own system of governance is your main and seminal task. This is a complex and difficult undertaking. Do not allow secular or western liberal or extremist nationalist or leftist Marxist models to be imposed on you.
The leftist Eastern Bloc collapsed and the Western Bloc is propped up through violence, war, and deceit, and does not appear to have a bright outlook.
The passage of time will be to their loss and to the benefit of the Islamic current.
The ultimate goal must be a unified Islamic Ummah and the creation of a new Islamic civilization founded upon faith, rationality, knowledge, and morality.
The liberation of Palestine from the savage claws of the Zionists is also a great objective. The countries of the Balkans, Caucasus, and western Asia were liberated from the claws of the former Soviet Union after eighty years. Why should the Palestinian people not be able to free themselves from the captivity of the oppressor Zionists after seventy years?
The present generation in Islamic countries has the capacity to accomplish such great feats. The young generation of today is a source of pride for the past generations. As noted by the Arab poet:
أبو الصخر من شيبان قلت لهم كلا لعمري و لكن منه شيبانُ
و كم أبٍ قد علا بابنٍ ذُری شَرَفٍ كما علا برسولِ الله عدنانُ
Trust your young generation. Revive their feeling of self-confidence and benefit them by the experiences of the elders.
There are two important points in this connection:
First, one of the most important demands of the people who have revolted and who have been liberated is to have a decisive participation in the management of their countries. And since they believe in Islam, their desire is to have a system of Islamic democracy, i.e. the rulers being elected through the vote of the people and the dominant principles and values of the society being based on the Islamic knowledge and sharia. This can crystallize in various countries, depending on their conditions, through various methods and forms. However, utmost care must be taken not to confuse this with the western liberal democracy. The secular, and at times anti-religious, western democracy is in no way related to the Islamic democracy which is committed to the values and main principles of Islam in its system of government.
The second point relates to the fact that Islamic tenets must not be equated with backwardness, obscurantism, and ignorant and extremist biases. The demarcation between these two must be pronounced. Religious extremism, which is usually attended by violence, is the cause of falling short of the lofty goals of the revolution. This, in turn, results in the loss of public support and the eventual failure of the revolution.
In sum, to speak of Islamic awakening is not to speak of a nebulous and indistinct concept that is amenable to various interpretations. Rather, it is to speak of a tangible reality in the external world that has filled the atmosphere and resulted in great uprisings and revolutions and removed from the scene some dangerous elements of the enemy. Nonetheless, the scene remains fluid and in need of being shaped and brought to a conclusion.

(In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful. O Prophet! Fear Allah, and hearken not to the unbelievers and the hypocrites: verily Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom. But follow that which comes to thee by inspiration from thy Lord: for Allah is well acquainted with (all) that ye do. And put thy trust in Allah, and enough is Allah as a disposer of affairs.)

[URDU][1October11] انتفاضہ فلسطین کانفرنس Speech by Vali Amr Muslimeen
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
As-Salamu ‘alaykum wa rahmatullah
All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, and peace and greetings upon our Master, Muhammad,...
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
As-Salamu ‘alaykum wa rahmatullah
All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, and peace and greetings upon our Master, Muhammad, and upon his immaculate household and chosen companions and upon those who follow them appropriately until the Day of Judgment.
Allah the All-Wise said: \"Permission (to fight) is given to those upon whom war is made because they are oppressed and most surely Allah is well able to assist them. Those who have been expelled from their homes without a just cause only because they say our Lord is Allah. And had there not been Allah\'s repelling some people by others, certainly there would have been pulled down cloisters and churches and synagogues and mosques in which Allah\'s name is much remembered. And surely Allah will help him who helps His cause. Most surely Allah is Strong, Mighty.\" [The Holy Quran, Sura al-Hajj, Ayahs 39-40]
I would like to welcome the all dear guests and the honorable audience. Among all the issues that deserve to be discussed by religious and political figures from across the world of Islam, the issue of Palestine enjoys special importance. Palestine is the primary issue among all common issues of Islamic countries. This issue has unique characteristics.
The first characteristic is that a Muslim country has been taken away from its people and entrusted to foreigners who have come together from different countries and formed a fake and mosaic-like society.
The second characteristic is that this historically unprecedented event has been accompanied by constant killings, crimes, oppression and humiliation.
The third characteristic is that Muslims\' original qiblah and many respected religious centers which exist in that country have been threatened with destruction, sacrilege and decline.
The fourth characteristic is that at the most sensitive spot of the world of Islam, this fake government and society has played the role of a military, security and political base for the arrogant governments since the beginning up until today. And the pivot of the colonialist west - which has been opposed to the unity, development and progress of Islamic countries for various reasons - has always used it like a dagger in the heart of the Islamic Ummah.
The fifth characteristic is that Zionism - which is a great ethical, political and economic threat to the human community - has used this foothold as a tool and stepping stone to spread its influence and hegemony in the world.
Other points that can be added include: heavy financial and human costs that Islamic countries have paid so far, preoccupation of Muslim governments and people, the sufferings of millions of displaced Palestinians many of whom still live in refugee camps after the passage of six decades and putting an end to the history of an important civilizational center in the world of Islam.
Today another key point has been added to these causes and this key point is the wave of Islamic Awakening which has engulfed the entire region and has opened a new and determining chapter in the history of the Islamic Ummah. This massive movement - which can undoubtedly lead to a powerful, advanced and coherent Islamic alliance in this sensitive part of the world and can put an end to the era of backwardness, weakness and humiliation of Muslim nations relying on Allah\'s favor and the firm determination of the followers of this movement - has borrowed an important portion of its force and courage from the issue of Palestine.
The Zionist regime\'s increasing oppression and bullying and the cooperation of certain autocratic, corrupt and mercenary rulers on the one hand and the spirited Palestinian and Lebanese resistance and the miraculous victories of faithful youth in the 33-day war on Lebanon and in the 22-day war on Gaza on the other hand - were among the important factors which made turbulent the seemingly calm ocean of the Egyptian, Tunisian and Libyan nations as well as other regional nations.
It is a fact that the Zionist regime, which is armed to the teeth and claims to be invincible, suffered a decisive and humiliating defeat in Lebanon during an unequal war against the clenched fist of faithful and brave mujahids. Later on it re-tested its blunt sword against the innocent and determined resistance of Gaza and it failed.
Serious attention should be paid to these points when analyzing current conditions of the region and the appropriateness of every decision should be evaluated against these points.
Therefore, it is an accurate judgment to say that today the issue of Palestine has gained increased importance and urgency and the Palestinian nation has the right to expect more from Muslims countries in the current regional conditions.
Let us take a look at the past and the present and prepare a road map for the future. I will discuss certain topics in this regard.
More than six decades have passed since the tragic occupation of Palestine. All the main causes of this bloody tragedy have been identified and the colonialist English government is the most important cause. The policies, weapons and military, security, economic and cultural power of the English government and other arrogant western and eastern governments were put to the service of this great oppression. Under the ruthless clutches of the occupiers, the defenseless people of Palestine were massacred and forced out of their homes. Until today even one percent of the human and civil tragedy - which was carried out at that time by the claimants of civilization and ethics - has not been properly portrayed and this tragedy has not had its fair share in the media and visual arts. The owners of visual and cinematic arts and western movie mafias have not been willing to allow this to happen. An entire nation was massacred and displaced in silence.
Certain instances of resistance emerged at the beginning, which were harshly and ruthlessly crushed. From outside Palestinian borders and mainly from Egypt, a number of men with Islamic motives made certain efforts which were not sufficiently supported and could not have an effect on the scene.
Afterwards there were full-scale and classical wars between a few Arab countries and the Zionist army. Egypt, Syria and Jordan mobilized their military forces, but the unconditional, massive and increasing military and financial support of America, England and France for the Zionist regime overwhelmed Arab armies. Not only did they fail to help the Palestinian nation, but they also lost an important portion of their territories during these wars.
After the weakness of Palestine\'s Arab neighbors was revealed, cells of organized resistance were gradually established in the form of armed Palestinian groups and after a while they came together to form the Palestinian Liberation Organization. This was a spark of hope which shone brightly, but it did not last long. This failure can be attributed to many factors, but the essential factor was their separation from the people and from their Islamic beliefs and faith. Leftist ideology or mere nationalistic sentiments were not what the complicated and difficult issue of Palestine required. Islam, jihad and martyrdom were the factors that could have encouraged an entire nation to step into the arena of resistance and turned it into an invincible force. They did not understand this properly. During the first few months of the great Islamic Revolution, when the leaders of the Palestinian Liberation Organization had found a new spirit and they used to visit Tehran repeatedly, I asked a pillar of the organization why they did not raise the flag of Islam in their righteous battle. His answer was that there were a number of Christians among them as well. Later on that person was assassinated by the Zionists in an Arab country and I hope Allah the Exalted has bestowed mercy on him. But his reasoning was flawed. I believe a faithful Christian who fights alongside a group of selfless mujahids - who carry out jihad in a sincere way while having faith in God, the Day of Judgment and divine assistance - would be more motivated to fight than a Christian who has to fight alongside a group of people who lack faith, rely on unstable sentiments and lack loyal support of the people.
Lack of firm faith and separation from the people gradually made them neutral and ineffective. Of course there were honorable, motivated and valorous men among them, but the organization went off in a different direction. Their deviation has been a blow to the issue of Palestine. Like certain treacherous Arab governments, they too turned their back on the ideal of resistance which has been the only way of saving Palestine. And of course not only did they deliver a blow to Palestine, but they also delivered a strong blow to themselves. As the Christian Arab poet says,
لئن اضعتم فلسطيناً فعيشكم طول الحياة مضاضات و آلامٌ
Thirty two years were spent in this misery, but suddenly God\'s hand of power turned the tables. The victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran in the year 1979 completely changed the conditions of this region and turned a new page. Among the amazing global effects of this Revolution and the strong blows that it delivered to arrogant policies, the blow to the Zionist government was the clearest and the most immediate. The statements of the leaders of that regime during those days are interesting to read and they show how unhappy and anxious they were. During the first few weeks after the victory, Israel\'s embassy in Tehran was closed down and its staff was expelled. The embassy was officially given to the Palestinian Liberation Organization whose representatives are still there. Our magnanimous Imam announced that one of the goals of the Revolution was to liberate Palestine and to remove the cancerous tumor, Israel. The powerful waves of this Revolution, which engulfed the entire world at that time, conveyed this message wherever it reached: \"Palestine must be liberated.\" Even the repeated and great problems that the enemies of the Revolution imposed on the Islamic Republic of Iran failed to discourage the Islamic Republic from defending Palestine. One instance of the problems that they caused was the eight-year war waged on Iran by Saddam Hussein who had been goaded by America and England and was supported by reactionary Arab governments.
Thus, new blood was pumped into the veins of Palestine. Muslim mujahid groups started to emerge in Palestine. The Lebanese Resistance formed a powerful and new front against the enemy and its supporters. Instead of relying on Arab governments and seeking help from global organizations such as the United Nations, which were accomplices of the arrogant powers, Palestine started to rely on itself, its youth, its deep Islamic faith and its selfless men and women. This is the key to all achievements.
Over the past three decades this process has been accelerated on a daily basis. The humiliating defeat of the Zionist regime in Lebanon in the year 2006, the humiliating failure of the arrogant Zionist army in Gaza in the year 2008, the Zionist regime\'s escape from South Lebanon and withdrawal from Gaza, the establishment of the resistance government in Gaza and in brief, changing the Palestinian nation from a group of helpless and hopeless people to a hopeful, resistant and self-confident nation - these were the outstanding characteristics of the past thirty years.
This general picture will be clear when attempts at compromise and treacherous activities - whose goal is to break down resistance and make Palestinian groups and Arab governments acknowledge the legitimacy of Israel - are also reflected upon in an appropriate way.
These activities, which were initiated with the Camp David Accords by the treacherous and unworthy successor of Gamal Abdel Nasser, have always been aimed at undermining the steely determination of resistance forces. During the Camp David Accords, for the first time an Arab government officially acknowledged that the Palestinian lands belonged to the Zionists and it signed the papers according to which Palestine was recognized as the homeland of Jews.
From that time until the Oslo Accords in the year 1993 and later on in complementary plans - which were imposed one after the other on compromising and careless Palestinian groups with the intervention of America and the cooperation of colonialist European governments - the enemy tried its best to discourage the Palestinian nation and Palestinian groups from resisting through the use of empty and deceptive promises and making them busy with amateur political games. The uselessness of all these accords was revealed very soon and the Zionists and their supporters repeatedly showed that they consider these accords as worthless pieces of paper. The goal of these plans was to create doubt among the Palestinians, make materialistic unbelievers greedy and cripple Islamic resistance.
So far, the spirit of resistance among the Islamic Palestinian groups and the Palestinian people has been the antidote to all these treacherous games. They stood up against the enemy with Allah\'s permission and as promised by God, they benefited from divine assistance: \"And surely Allah will help him who helps His cause. Most surely Allah is Strong, Mighty.\" [The Holy Quran, Sura al-Hajj, Ayah 40] The resistance of Gaza in spite of a comprehensive siege was an instance of divine assistance. The collapse of the treacherous and corrupt government of Hosni Mubarak was divine assistance. The emergence of the powerful wave of Islamic Awakening in the region is divine assistance. The removal of the mask of hypocrisy from the face of America, England and France and the increasing hatred of the regional nations towards these countries are divine assistance. The repeated and innumerable problems of the Zionist regime - from its domestic political, economic and social problems to its isolation in the world, to public and even academic hatred of the Zionists in Europe - are all instances of divine assistance.
Today the Zionist regime is weaker, more hated and more isolated than ever before and its main supporter, America, is more embattled and confused than ever before.
Today the general history of Palestine in the past 60 years is in front of our eyes. It is necessary to delineate the future by considering that general history and learning lessons from it.
Two points should be clarified in advance. The first point is that our demand is the liberation of Palestine, not the liberation of a part of Palestine. Any plan to divide Palestine is completely unacceptable. The two-state idea which has been presented in the self-righteous clothing of \"recognizing the Palestinian government as a member of the United Nations\" is nothing but giving in to the demands of the Zionists - namely, \"recognizing the Zionist government in Palestinian lands\". This would mean trampling on the rights of the Palestinian nation, ignoring the historical right of the displaced Palestinians and even jeopardizing the right of the Palestinians settled in \"1948 lands\". It would mean leaving the cancerous tumor intact and exposing the Islamic Ummah - especially the regional nations - to constant danger. It would mean bringing back decades-long sufferings and trampling upon the blood of the martyrs.
Any operational solution must be based on the principle of \"all of Palestine for all Palestinian people\". Palestine is the land that extends \"from the river to the sea\", not one inch less than that. Of course it should be noted that through its elected government, the Palestinian people will run the affairs of the any part of the Palestinian soil they manage to liberate, just as they did in the case of Gaza, but they will never forget the ultimate goal.
The second point is that in order to reach this lofty goal, what is necessary is action, not words. It is necessary to be serious, not to make ceremonial gestures. It is necessary to have patience and wisdom, not engage in a variety of impatient actions. It is necessary to consider horizons that lie far ahead and to move forward step by step with determination, reliance on God and hope. Muslim governments and nations and the resistance groups in Palestine, Lebanon and other countries can each identify their share of work in this general struggle and solve the puzzle of resistance with Allah\'s permission.
The solution of the Islamic Republic to the issue of Palestine and this old wound is a clear and logical proposal that is based on political wisdom accepted by global public opinion and it has been presented in detail previously. We neither propose a classical war with the armies of Islamic countries, nor do we propose throwing Jewish immigrants into the sea or intervention of the United Nations and other international organizations. We propose a referendum among the Palestinian people. Just like any other nation, the Palestinian nation has the right to determine its own destiny and to elect its own government. All the original people of Palestine - including Muslims, Christians and Jews and not foreign immigrants - should take part in a general and orderly referendum and determine the future government of Palestine whether they live inside Palestine or in camps or in any other place. The government that is established after the referendum will determine the destiny of non-Palestinian immigrants who migrated to Palestine in the past. This is a fair and logical proposal which global public opinion understands and it can receive support from independent nations and governments.
Of course we do not expect the usurping Zionists to willingly accept this proposal and this is where the role of governments, nations and resistance organizations becomes significant. The most important pillar of supporting the Palestinian nation is to stop supporting the usurping enemy and this is the great duty of Islamic governments. After the people have stepped into the arena and shouted slogans against the Zionist regime in a powerful way, on what logical basis do Muslim governments continue their relations with the usurping Zionist regime? The proof of Muslim governments\' honesty lies in their support for the Palestinian nation and in their decision to break off their overt and secret political and economic relations with the Zionist regime. The governments that host Zionist embassies or economic offices cannot claim to defend Palestine and no anti-Zionist slogan on their part will be considered serious and genuine.
Today Islamic resistance organizations, which have been shouldering the heavy burden of jihad over the past years, are confronted with the same great responsibility. Their organized resistance is an active arm that can help the Palestinian nation move towards the ultimate goal. Brave resistance of the people whose homes and country have been occupied has been recognized in all international conventions and it has been praised. Allegations of terrorism by the political and media network affiliated with Zionism are hollow and worthless claims. The obvious terrorist is the Zionist regime and its western supporters. Palestinian resistance is a movement against the oppressive terrorists and it is a human and sacred movement.
In the meantime, it is appropriate for western countries to evaluate the situation from a realistic perspective. Today the west is at a crossroads. It should either stop bullying and acknowledge the right of the Palestinian nation and refuse to follow the plan of the bullying and anti-human Zionists, or they should wait for stronger blows in the not so distant future. These crippling blows are not limited to the continual collapse of their puppet governments in the Islamic region. Rather the day when European and American peoples realize that the majority of their economic, social and ethical problems result from the octopus-like hegemony of international Zionism over their governments and that their statesmen give in to the bullying of parasitic Zionists who own companies in America and Europe for the sake of their personal and partisan interests, they will create a such hell for them in which no salvation will be imaginable.
The US President says that Israel\'s security is his red line. What factor has determined this red line? Is it the interests of the American nation or Obama\'s personal need for the money and support of Zionist companies to ensure his second term as US President? How long do you think you will be able to deceive your own nation? What will the American people do with you the day they realize you have agreed to give in to humiliation and obedience to wealthy Zionists for the sake of remaining in power for a few more days? What will they do with you when they realize that you have sacrificed the interests of a great nation at the feet of the Zionists?
Dear brothers and sisters, know that this red line drawn by Obama and people like him will be crossed by Muslim nations that have risen up. What is threatening the Zionist regime is not the missiles of Iran or resistance groups, so they can build a missile shield here and there in order to confront it. The real and inescapable threat is the firm determination of men, women and youth in Islamic countries who do not want America, Europe and their puppets rulers, to dominate and humiliate them any longer.
Of course those missiles will fulfill their duty whenever the enemy poses a threat. \"Therefore, be patient. Surely the promise of Allah is true and let not those who have no certainty make you impatient.\" [The Holy Quran, Sura ar-Room, Ayah 60]

Description:
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
As-Salamu ‘alaykum wa rahmatullah
All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, and peace and greetings upon our Master, Muhammad, and upon his immaculate household and chosen companions and upon those who follow them appropriately until the Day of Judgment.
Allah the All-Wise said: \"Permission (to fight) is given to those upon whom war is made because they are oppressed and most surely Allah is well able to assist them. Those who have been expelled from their homes without a just cause only because they say our Lord is Allah. And had there not been Allah\'s repelling some people by others, certainly there would have been pulled down cloisters and churches and synagogues and mosques in which Allah\'s name is much remembered. And surely Allah will help him who helps His cause. Most surely Allah is Strong, Mighty.\" [The Holy Quran, Sura al-Hajj, Ayahs 39-40]
I would like to welcome the all dear guests and the honorable audience. Among all the issues that deserve to be discussed by religious and political figures from across the world of Islam, the issue of Palestine enjoys special importance. Palestine is the primary issue among all common issues of Islamic countries. This issue has unique characteristics.
The first characteristic is that a Muslim country has been taken away from its people and entrusted to foreigners who have come together from different countries and formed a fake and mosaic-like society.
The second characteristic is that this historically unprecedented event has been accompanied by constant killings, crimes, oppression and humiliation.
The third characteristic is that Muslims\' original qiblah and many respected religious centers which exist in that country have been threatened with destruction, sacrilege and decline.
The fourth characteristic is that at the most sensitive spot of the world of Islam, this fake government and society has played the role of a military, security and political base for the arrogant governments since the beginning up until today. And the pivot of the colonialist west - which has been opposed to the unity, development and progress of Islamic countries for various reasons - has always used it like a dagger in the heart of the Islamic Ummah.
The fifth characteristic is that Zionism - which is a great ethical, political and economic threat to the human community - has used this foothold as a tool and stepping stone to spread its influence and hegemony in the world.
Other points that can be added include: heavy financial and human costs that Islamic countries have paid so far, preoccupation of Muslim governments and people, the sufferings of millions of displaced Palestinians many of whom still live in refugee camps after the passage of six decades and putting an end to the history of an important civilizational center in the world of Islam.
Today another key point has been added to these causes and this key point is the wave of Islamic Awakening which has engulfed the entire region and has opened a new and determining chapter in the history of the Islamic Ummah. This massive movement - which can undoubtedly lead to a powerful, advanced and coherent Islamic alliance in this sensitive part of the world and can put an end to the era of backwardness, weakness and humiliation of Muslim nations relying on Allah\'s favor and the firm determination of the followers of this movement - has borrowed an important portion of its force and courage from the issue of Palestine.
The Zionist regime\'s increasing oppression and bullying and the cooperation of certain autocratic, corrupt and mercenary rulers on the one hand and the spirited Palestinian and Lebanese resistance and the miraculous victories of faithful youth in the 33-day war on Lebanon and in the 22-day war on Gaza on the other hand - were among the important factors which made turbulent the seemingly calm ocean of the Egyptian, Tunisian and Libyan nations as well as other regional nations.
It is a fact that the Zionist regime, which is armed to the teeth and claims to be invincible, suffered a decisive and humiliating defeat in Lebanon during an unequal war against the clenched fist of faithful and brave mujahids. Later on it re-tested its blunt sword against the innocent and determined resistance of Gaza and it failed.
Serious attention should be paid to these points when analyzing current conditions of the region and the appropriateness of every decision should be evaluated against these points.
Therefore, it is an accurate judgment to say that today the issue of Palestine has gained increased importance and urgency and the Palestinian nation has the right to expect more from Muslims countries in the current regional conditions.
Let us take a look at the past and the present and prepare a road map for the future. I will discuss certain topics in this regard.
More than six decades have passed since the tragic occupation of Palestine. All the main causes of this bloody tragedy have been identified and the colonialist English government is the most important cause. The policies, weapons and military, security, economic and cultural power of the English government and other arrogant western and eastern governments were put to the service of this great oppression. Under the ruthless clutches of the occupiers, the defenseless people of Palestine were massacred and forced out of their homes. Until today even one percent of the human and civil tragedy - which was carried out at that time by the claimants of civilization and ethics - has not been properly portrayed and this tragedy has not had its fair share in the media and visual arts. The owners of visual and cinematic arts and western movie mafias have not been willing to allow this to happen. An entire nation was massacred and displaced in silence.
Certain instances of resistance emerged at the beginning, which were harshly and ruthlessly crushed. From outside Palestinian borders and mainly from Egypt, a number of men with Islamic motives made certain efforts which were not sufficiently supported and could not have an effect on the scene.
Afterwards there were full-scale and classical wars between a few Arab countries and the Zionist army. Egypt, Syria and Jordan mobilized their military forces, but the unconditional, massive and increasing military and financial support of America, England and France for the Zionist regime overwhelmed Arab armies. Not only did they fail to help the Palestinian nation, but they also lost an important portion of their territories during these wars.
After the weakness of Palestine\'s Arab neighbors was revealed, cells of organized resistance were gradually established in the form of armed Palestinian groups and after a while they came together to form the Palestinian Liberation Organization. This was a spark of hope which shone brightly, but it did not last long. This failure can be attributed to many factors, but the essential factor was their separation from the people and from their Islamic beliefs and faith. Leftist ideology or mere nationalistic sentiments were not what the complicated and difficult issue of Palestine required. Islam, jihad and martyrdom were the factors that could have encouraged an entire nation to step into the arena of resistance and turned it into an invincible force. They did not understand this properly. During the first few months of the great Islamic Revolution, when the leaders of the Palestinian Liberation Organization had found a new spirit and they used to visit Tehran repeatedly, I asked a pillar of the organization why they did not raise the flag of Islam in their righteous battle. His answer was that there were a number of Christians among them as well. Later on that person was assassinated by the Zionists in an Arab country and I hope Allah the Exalted has bestowed mercy on him. But his reasoning was flawed. I believe a faithful Christian who fights alongside a group of selfless mujahids - who carry out jihad in a sincere way while having faith in God, the Day of Judgment and divine assistance - would be more motivated to fight than a Christian who has to fight alongside a group of people who lack faith, rely on unstable sentiments and lack loyal support of the people.
Lack of firm faith and separation from the people gradually made them neutral and ineffective. Of course there were honorable, motivated and valorous men among them, but the organization went off in a different direction. Their deviation has been a blow to the issue of Palestine. Like certain treacherous Arab governments, they too turned their back on the ideal of resistance which has been the only way of saving Palestine. And of course not only did they deliver a blow to Palestine, but they also delivered a strong blow to themselves. As the Christian Arab poet says,
لئن اضعتم فلسطيناً فعيشكم طول الحياة مضاضات و آلامٌ
Thirty two years were spent in this misery, but suddenly God\'s hand of power turned the tables. The victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran in the year 1979 completely changed the conditions of this region and turned a new page.

Vali Visit Kermanshah - Farsi
بسماللَّهالرّحمنالرّحيم
خداى متعال را سپاسگزارم كه اين توفيق را امروز داد كه در اين مجلسِ داراى عظمت معنوى شركت كنم. براى من در سفر به شهرهاى مختلف، يكى از مهمترين و باعظمتترين ديدارها، ديدار با خانوادهى معظم شهيدان و ايثارگران و جانبازان است. علت اين است كه در مسئلهى ايثار، عظمتى نهفته است كه هيچ جامعهاى بدون دارا بودن يك چنين نقطهى مهم و تعيينكنندهاى نخواهد توانست به عزت و عظمت دست پيدا كند. ما در قضيهى شهادت شهيدان و مجاهدت ايثارگران و جانبازان معمولاً جوانب محدودى را مىبينيم و مشاهده ميكنيم؛ در حالى كه خود عمل و حركت ايثار در جامعه كه منجر به شهادت يا جانبازى ميشود، معانى متعددى دارد؛ جهات مختلفى دارد كه هر كدام از اينها درخور بررسى است. يكى از اين جهات، فرصتشناسى و پاسخگوئى به نياز لحظههاست. ممكن است احساس مسئوليت در كسانى باشد، اما در لحظهى نياز، اين مسئوليت را نه تشخيص بدهند و نه عمل كنند؛ اين خيلى تفاوت دارد با آن حركت و اقدامى كه درست در لحظهى نياز اتفاق مىافتد و انجام ميگيرد. جوانان شجاع و باغيرت و مؤمن و فداكارى كه نياز كشور را احساس كردند و به سراغ خطر رفتند و به استقبال خطر شتافتند، اينها اين امتياز برجسته را دارند كه نياز را در زمان خود فهميدند و به آن پاسخ گفتند. اين يك بعد بسيار مهمى است، اين براى ما درس است.
من ديروز اشاره كردم كه جوانهاى كرمانشاهى يك ماه بعد از پيروزى انقلاب احساس كردند نياز هست كه بروند. شهيد سيد محمدسعيد جعفرى - شهيد پيشرو و پيشتاز - با جمع رفقاى خودش رفتند از پادگان لشكر سنندج دفاع كردند؛ فهميدند كه معناى اين دفاع چيست؛ تسلط ضد انقلاب بر يك پادگان نظامى، معنايش چيست. اين زود فهميدن، بوقت فهميدن، بهنگام عمل كردن و پاسخ به نياز دادن، آن نقطهى برجستهاى است كه نبايد مغفول بماند.
شهداى عزيز ما در سرتاسر كشور اين خصوصيات را دارند. دوستان و برادران نام شهرها را ذكر كردند، خاطرههائى از مناطق مقاومت در اين استان بيان كردند. البته از سرتاسر كشور آمدند، شهداى برجسته و نامدارى در اين سرزمين به خاك و خون غلتيدند كه از مناطق ديگر آمدند؛ ليكن نقش مردم اين استان، نقش جوانان باايمان، نقش آن احساس عظيم و عزيز و كميابى كه در اين جوانها بود - هوشمندى آنها، موقعشناسى آنها، فرصتشناسى آنها - نبايستى نديده گرفته شود؛ و اين همان چيزى است كه ما هميشه به آن احتياج داريم.
غالباً كشورها و جوامع از ندانستن موقعيت و نشناختن فرصت، ضربه ميخورند. وقتى دشمنى كمين ميگيرد و ما نميدانيم كه او كمين گرفته است، نميشناسيم؛ يا اگر چنانچه اطلاع پيدا كرديم، علاج را زود و بهنگام ارائه نميدهيم؛ آن وقت ضربه ميخوريم.
جملهى خوبى را اين برادر عزيز اينجا گفتند. گفتند خانوادهها ميگفتند اگر اين رزمنده را ما از خانه بيرون نفرستيم، فردا دشمن دم در خانه مىآيد، بايد بجنگيم. اين خيلى نكتهى مهمى است؛ اين همان نكتهاى است كه اميرالمؤمنين (عليهالسّلام) فرمود: هر جماعتى كه در داخل خانهى خودشان مورد تهاجم دشمن قرار بگيرند، غفلت كنند از اين كه دشمن دارد مىآيد، اينها شكست خواهند خورد، مغلوب خواهند شد. دشمن را از دور بايد ديد، از دور بايد شناخت؛ اين غفلتى بود كه آن روز آن كسانى كه بايد ميديدند، نديدند. در تهران هى گفته ميشد و خبر ميرسيد كه در منطقهى كرمانشاه، در منطقهى ايلام - بيشتر در اين مناطق - دشمن مشغول آرايش نظامى است. آنجا كه گفته ميشد، سياسيونى كه مسئول كار بودند، انكار ميكردند؛ ميگفتند نه، چنين خبرى نيست. تا وقتى تهران را بمباران كردند. در روز 31 شهريور 59 جنگ در واقع آغاز نشد - آن روز تهران بمباران شد - جنگ از پيش شروع شده بود. اگر مسئولانى كه آن روز در رأس كار بودند - همان كسانى كه بعد هم نشان دادند لياقت ادارهى كشور را ندارند - ميفهميدند، تشخيص ميدادند و آمادگى خود را بالا ميبردند، نه خرمشهر آنجور ميشد، نه قصرشيرين آنجور ميشد، نه برخى از مناطق ديگر مرزى.
آن غفلت اوليه موجب شد كه بر اين منطقه و منطقهى خوزستان، آنطورى كه من در برههى كوتاهى از نزديك مشاهده كردم، آنچنان فضاى غمآلودى حاكم شود كه بعضى از مناظر آن را كه من از نزديك ديدم، نميتوانم فراموش كنم. كار وقتى دست مردم باشد، وقتى استعدادهاى مردمى و حضور مردمى ميدان پيدا كند كه وارد عرصه شود، اين غفلتها پيش نمىآيد. اين چيزى بود كه آن روز اجازه نميدادند. در همين مناطق، اينجا و آنجا، گروههاى مردمى گرد هم مىآمدند، به زحمت زياد قبضههاى سلاحى را براى خودشان فراهم ميكردند، مشغول دفاع ميشدند؛ آنها آنجا ناراضى بودند، در جلسات رسمى گله و شكايت ميكردند كه چرا فلانى در فلانجا اسلحه جمع كرده است! عدهاى جوان داشتند دفاع ميكردند؛ بنابراين نميتوانستند تحمل كنند. اين براى ما درس است.
من ديروز عرض كردم؛ نظامى مثل نظام جمهورى اسلامى، با اين آرمانها، با اين هدفها، با اين داعيهى بزرگى كه دارد - دشمن ظلم است، دشمن استكبار است، دشمن زيادهخواهىِ متكبرانهى قدرتهاى بينالمللى است - با چالشهائى مواجه ميشود؛ به رنگهاى مختلف، به شكلهاى گوناگون؛ لذا بايد آماده باشد. اين آمادگى، بيش از همه چيز متكى به ايمانهاى مردم است. آن حصار پشتيبان، آن پاسدار اعظم در دفاع از هويت يك ملت و عزت يك ملت و نجات يك ملت از كيد دشمنان، آگاهى مردم است؛ اين را ما در جنگ تجربه كرديم. امروز هم در هر بخشى، در هر مجموعهاى از كار كه مسئولان آگاهانه متوجه باشند و به مردم نقش بدهند، همين اتفاق خواهد افتاد.
جمهورىِ اسلامى است، مردمسالارى است؛ مردمسالارى اسلامى. مردمسالارى بايد معنائى داشته باشد؛ معناى واقعى دارد، تعارف نيست. شهدا، جانبازان، آزادگان و خانوادههاى آنها در اين راه، بهترين آزمايش را دادند. اين صبر عظيمى كه خانوادههاى شهيدان نشان دادند، خيلى ارزش دارد. اگر خانوادهها بىصبرى نشان ميدادند، بىمعرفتى نشان ميدادند، بىبصيرتى نشان ميدادند، فضاى مجاهدت سرد ميشد؛ دلها مشتاق فداكارى و ايثارگرى باقى نميماند. خانوادهها صبر نشان دادند. سالهاى متمادى از آن دوران دفاع مقدس گذشته است، اما باب شهادت بسته نشده؛ باز هم مشاهده ميكنيم خانوادههائى داغدار عزيزانى ميشوند كه به مناسبتهاى گوناگون وادى شهادت بر روى آنها در باز ميكند، آنها پر ميگشايند و ميروند. اگر اين بصيرت و اين صبر در ملتى باشد، بدون ترديد اين ملت قلهها را درخواهد نورديد.
ما در تشخيص هدفهامان و تعيين راهِ به اين هدفها، هرگز دچار ترديد نشديم؛ در راهِ خودمان شك نكرديم؛ خدا را شكر ميكنيم. خداى متعال هيچگاه دلهاى ما را خالى از نور اميد نگذاشت. و در واقعيت ديديم كه اين اميدها، اميدهاى واهى نبود؛ اميدهاى درستى بود.
يك روزى بود كه وقتى كسانى به صحنه نگاه ميكردند، بظاهر هيچ چيز اميدبخشى در صحنه به چشم نمىآمد؛ اما مردمان بصير - در رأس همه، امام بزرگوار - به ما اميد ميدادند، نويد ميدادند. گاهى ما تعبداً گوش ميكرديم، اما قادر به تحليل نبوديم. تعبداً قبول ميكرديم، بعد ميديديم همين جور شد؛ بعد ميديديم همين اميد الهى، همين نويد آسمانى تحقق پيدا كرد. و امروز وقتى به تجربهى سى و دو سالهى انقلاب نگاه ميكنيم، پىدرپى موفقيتهاى نظام جمهورى اسلامى را مىبينيم.
در ديدارهاى با خانوادههاى معظم شهيدان و جانبازان عزيز و ايثارگران، آن چيزى كه در درجهى اول مورد اهتمام اين حقير است، بعد از تجليل و احترام و تقديم مراتب تشكر و قدردانى به خانوادههاى عزيز، اين است كه مجموعهى ملت عزيز ما توجه كنند كه روحيهى ايثارگرى نجاتبخش يك كشور است، نجاتبخش يك ملت است. روحيهى گذشت، روحيهى فداكارى، وقت انجام وظيفه را شناختن، كار را بوقت و بموقع انجام دادن، نجاتبخش است.
خوشبختانه امروز ما آثار پيشرفت و موفقيت را در كشورمان مشاهده ميكنيم؛ مىبينيم كه داريم پيش ميرويم؛ البته تلاش لازم است، كار لازم است. كارها به سمت ظريفتر شدن و پيچيدهتر بودن پيش ميرود. هوشمندى امروز مردم ما هم بمراتب از سالهاى گذشته بيشتر است. بحمداللَّه مردمان مؤمن، پايبند، معتقد و متعهد به آرمانها در جامعهى ما زياد است؛ در اين استان عزيز هم همين جور. در اين استان، ما آنچه كه ديديم، آنچه كه شنيديم، مردانگى و فتوّت و دلاورى و جوانمردى و - همان طور كه ديروز عرض كرديم - خصال نيكِ پهلوانى در مرد و زن بوده است.
اشاره كردند كه خانمى در گيلانغرب از دشمن اسير گرفت؛ يك زن، يك بانوى مؤمن و شجاع. آنچنان نمودارهاى شجاعت در اين استان زياد است كه انسان نميتواند بشمرد. از اوّلى كه اينجا تشكيل شد، نيروهاى مردمى و سپاهى در كنار نيروهاى مبارز ارتش فداكارى كردند. افسران شجاع و لايقى در اينجا بودند؛ فرمانده هوانيروزى كه شهيد شيرودى و ديگران از امكانات و پشتيبانى او استفاده ميكردند و اين پروازهاى عجيب را انجام ميدادند؛ چه در لشكر 81، و چه در بخشهاى گوناگون؛ كه بعضى از افسران شجاع و مؤمن را ما در همين پادگان ابوذر كه ايشان ذكر كردند، از نزديك ديديم. آنها آنچنان با اخلاص و فداكارى كار ميكردند كه فضاى اين منطقه را پر كرده بودند از همين نشانههاى اخلاص و فداكارى و پهلوانى و گذشت و ايثار؛ و اين جزو افتخارات استان شماست، و اين براى شما خواهد ماند. شما در پيشانى دفاع مقدس قرار گرفتيد. افتخارات دفاع مقدس بسيارىاش مربوط به اين استان است. پشتيبانى كرديد، گذشت كرديد؛ خداوند انشاءاللَّه اجرها و پاداشهاى معنوى را به شما خواهد داد؛ همچنان كه اجر دنيوى آن را - كه عزت كشور است - به شما و به ملت ايران بخشيد.
اين سفر براى ما سفر بسيار مطلوب و شيرينى است، به خاطر ديدار با مردم عزيز و چهرهى شاد و خندان آنها؛ كه ديروز در اين مسير، دهها هزار چهرهى شاد و خندان را انسان مشاهده ميكرد؛ اين نشانهى چهرهى باطراوت اين استان است. اميدواريم انشاءاللَّه مسئولين بتوانند كارهائى را كه در اين استان لازم است انجام بگيرد - كه كارهاى فراوانى هم در اين استان بايستى انشاءاللَّه صورت بگيرد - انجام بدهند. استانِ بسيار بااستعدادى است و كمبودهائى هم دارد؛ اين كمبودها انشاءاللَّه بايستى با تلاش و كار مسئولين پيگيرى شود.

Vali Visit Kermanshah - Farsi
بسماللَّهالرّحمنالرّحيم
خداى متعال را سپاسگزارم كه اين توفيق را امروز داد كه در اين مجلسِ داراى عظمت معنوى شركت كنم. براى من در سفر به شهرهاى مختلف، يكى از مهمترين و باعظمتترين ديدارها، ديدار با خانوادهى معظم شهيدان و ايثارگران و جانبازان است. علت اين است كه در مسئلهى ايثار، عظمتى نهفته است كه هيچ جامعهاى بدون دارا بودن يك چنين نقطهى مهم و تعيينكنندهاى نخواهد توانست به عزت و عظمت دست پيدا كند. ما در قضيهى شهادت شهيدان و مجاهدت ايثارگران و جانبازان معمولاً جوانب محدودى را مىبينيم و مشاهده ميكنيم؛ در حالى كه خود عمل و حركت ايثار در جامعه كه منجر به شهادت يا جانبازى ميشود، معانى متعددى دارد؛ جهات مختلفى دارد كه هر كدام از اينها درخور بررسى است. يكى از اين جهات، فرصتشناسى و پاسخگوئى به نياز لحظههاست. ممكن است احساس مسئوليت در كسانى باشد، اما در لحظهى نياز، اين مسئوليت را نه تشخيص بدهند و نه عمل كنند؛ اين خيلى تفاوت دارد با آن حركت و اقدامى كه درست در لحظهى نياز اتفاق مىافتد و انجام ميگيرد. جوانان شجاع و باغيرت و مؤمن و فداكارى كه نياز كشور را احساس كردند و به سراغ خطر رفتند و به استقبال خطر شتافتند، اينها اين امتياز برجسته را دارند كه نياز را در زمان خود فهميدند و به آن پاسخ گفتند. اين يك بعد بسيار مهمى است، اين براى ما درس است.
من ديروز اشاره كردم كه جوانهاى كرمانشاهى يك ماه بعد از پيروزى انقلاب احساس كردند نياز هست كه بروند. شهيد سيد محمدسعيد جعفرى - شهيد پيشرو و پيشتاز - با جمع رفقاى خودش رفتند از پادگان لشكر سنندج دفاع كردند؛ فهميدند كه معناى اين دفاع چيست؛ تسلط ضد انقلاب بر يك پادگان نظامى، معنايش چيست. اين زود فهميدن، بوقت فهميدن، بهنگام عمل كردن و پاسخ به نياز دادن، آن نقطهى برجستهاى است كه نبايد مغفول بماند.
شهداى عزيز ما در سرتاسر كشور اين خصوصيات را دارند. دوستان و برادران نام شهرها را ذكر كردند، خاطرههائى از مناطق مقاومت در اين استان بيان كردند. البته از سرتاسر كشور آمدند، شهداى برجسته و نامدارى در اين سرزمين به خاك و خون غلتيدند كه از مناطق ديگر آمدند؛ ليكن نقش مردم اين استان، نقش جوانان باايمان، نقش آن احساس عظيم و عزيز و كميابى كه در اين جوانها بود - هوشمندى آنها، موقعشناسى آنها، فرصتشناسى آنها - نبايستى نديده گرفته شود؛ و اين همان چيزى است كه ما هميشه به آن احتياج داريم.
غالباً كشورها و جوامع از ندانستن موقعيت و نشناختن فرصت، ضربه ميخورند. وقتى دشمنى كمين ميگيرد و ما نميدانيم كه او كمين گرفته است، نميشناسيم؛ يا اگر چنانچه اطلاع پيدا كرديم، علاج را زود و بهنگام ارائه نميدهيم؛ آن وقت ضربه ميخوريم.
جملهى خوبى را اين برادر عزيز اينجا گفتند. گفتند خانوادهها ميگفتند اگر اين رزمنده را ما از خانه بيرون نفرستيم، فردا دشمن دم در خانه مىآيد، بايد بجنگيم. اين خيلى نكتهى مهمى است؛ اين همان نكتهاى است كه اميرالمؤمنين (عليهالسّلام) فرمود: هر جماعتى كه در داخل خانهى خودشان مورد تهاجم دشمن قرار بگيرند، غفلت كنند از اين كه دشمن دارد مىآيد، اينها شكست خواهند خورد، مغلوب خواهند شد. دشمن را از دور بايد ديد، از دور بايد شناخت؛ اين غفلتى بود كه آن روز آن كسانى كه بايد ميديدند، نديدند. در تهران هى گفته ميشد و خبر ميرسيد كه در منطقهى كرمانشاه، در منطقهى ايلام - بيشتر در اين مناطق - دشمن مشغول آرايش نظامى است. آنجا كه گفته ميشد، سياسيونى كه مسئول كار بودند، انكار ميكردند؛ ميگفتند نه، چنين خبرى نيست. تا وقتى تهران را بمباران كردند. در روز 31 شهريور 59 جنگ در واقع آغاز نشد - آن روز تهران بمباران شد - جنگ از پيش شروع شده بود. اگر مسئولانى كه آن روز در رأس كار بودند - همان كسانى كه بعد هم نشان دادند لياقت ادارهى كشور را ندارند - ميفهميدند، تشخيص ميدادند و آمادگى خود را بالا ميبردند، نه خرمشهر آنجور ميشد، نه قصرشيرين آنجور ميشد، نه برخى از مناطق ديگر مرزى.
آن غفلت اوليه موجب شد كه بر اين منطقه و منطقهى خوزستان، آنطورى كه من در برههى كوتاهى از نزديك مشاهده كردم، آنچنان فضاى غمآلودى حاكم شود كه بعضى از مناظر آن را كه من از نزديك ديدم، نميتوانم فراموش كنم. كار وقتى دست مردم باشد، وقتى استعدادهاى مردمى و حضور مردمى ميدان پيدا كند كه وارد عرصه شود، اين غفلتها پيش نمىآيد. اين چيزى بود كه آن روز اجازه نميدادند. در همين مناطق، اينجا و آنجا، گروههاى مردمى گرد هم مىآمدند، به زحمت زياد قبضههاى سلاحى را براى خودشان فراهم ميكردند، مشغول دفاع ميشدند؛ آنها آنجا ناراضى بودند، در جلسات رسمى گله و شكايت ميكردند كه چرا فلانى در فلانجا اسلحه جمع كرده است! عدهاى جوان داشتند دفاع ميكردند؛ بنابراين نميتوانستند تحمل كنند. اين براى ما درس است.
من ديروز عرض كردم؛ نظامى مثل نظام جمهورى اسلامى، با اين آرمانها، با اين هدفها، با اين داعيهى بزرگى كه دارد - دشمن ظلم است، دشمن استكبار است، دشمن زيادهخواهىِ متكبرانهى قدرتهاى بينالمللى است - با چالشهائى مواجه ميشود؛ به رنگهاى مختلف، به شكلهاى گوناگون؛ لذا بايد آماده باشد. اين آمادگى، بيش از همه چيز متكى به ايمانهاى مردم است. آن حصار پشتيبان، آن پاسدار اعظم در دفاع از هويت يك ملت و عزت يك ملت و نجات يك ملت از كيد دشمنان، آگاهى مردم است؛ اين را ما در جنگ تجربه كرديم. امروز هم در هر بخشى، در هر مجموعهاى از كار كه مسئولان آگاهانه متوجه باشند و به مردم نقش بدهند، همين اتفاق خواهد افتاد.

ما در تشخيص هدفهامان و تعيين راهِ به اين هدفها، هرگز دچار ترديد نشديم؛ در راهِ خودمان شك نكرديم؛ خدا را شكر ميكنيم. خداى متعال هيچگاه دلهاى ما را خالى از نور اميد نگذاشت. و در واقعيت ديديم كه اين اميدها، اميدهاى واهى نبود؛ اميدهاى درستى بود.

خوشبختانه امروز ما آثار پيشرفت و موفقيت را در كشورمان مشاهده ميكنيم؛ مىبينيم كه داريم پيش ميرويم؛ البته تلاش لازم است، كار لازم است. كارها به سمت ظريفتر شدن و پيچيدهتر بودن پيش ميرود. هوشمندى امروز مردم ما هم بمراتب از سالهاى گذشته بيشتر است. بحمداللَّه مردمان مؤمن، پايبند، معتقد و متعهد به آرمانها در جامعهى ما زياد است؛ در اين استان عزيز هم همين جور. در اين استان، ما آنچه كه ديديم، آنچه كه شنيديم، مردانگى و فتوّت و دلاورى و جوانمردى و - همان طور كه ديروز عرض كرديم - خصال نيكِ پهلوانى در مرد و زن بوده است.

اين سفر براى ما سفر بسيار مطلوب و شيرينى است، به خاطر ديدار با مردم عزيز و چهرهى شاد و خندان آنها؛ كه ديروز در اين مسير، دهها هزار چهرهى شاد و خندان را انسان مشاهده ميكرد؛ اين نشانهى چهرهى باطراوت اين استان است. اميدواريم انشاءاللَّه مسئولين بتوانند كارهائى را كه در اين استان لازم است انجام بگيرد - كه كارهاى فراوانى هم در اين استان بايستى انشاءاللَّه صورت بگيرد - انجام بدهند. استانِ بسيار بااستعدادى است و كمبودهائى هم دارد؛ اين كمبودها انشاءاللَّه بايستى با تلاش و كار مسئولين پيگيرى شود.

دیدار كارگزاران حج با رهبر انقلاب
http://farsi.khamenei.ir/news-content?id=17451
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای رهبر انقلاب اسلامی صبح روز 11 مهر 1390، در دیدار دستاندركاران حج امسال، حج را فرصتی بسیار گرانبها و ارزشمند برای ارتباط با امت اسلامی و بهرهمندی معنوی خواندند و با اشاره به تلاش دشمنان برای اختلافافكنی و مقابله با موج بیداری اسلامی در مراسم حج ، تنها راه غلبه بر این توطئه را نزدیكتر شدن دلها و تقویت همدلی دانستند، ایشان همچنین در ادامه با اشاره به فساد بانكی اخیر در كشور، علت وقوع این سوء استفاده را عمل نكردن مسئولان به توصیههای مؤكد چند سال پیش رهبری در خصوص مقابله با فساد اقتصادی توصیف و تأكید كردند: مسئولان قضایی ضمن پیگیری قوی، دقیق و عاقلانه قضیه و اطلاعرسانی مناسب به مردم، باید دستهای خائن را قطع كنند.
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای حج را یكی از رموز اساسی اسلام و میهمانی بزرگ الهی در مركز عظمت و قدرت و جمال و كرَم توصیف كردند و افزودند: باید در بُعد عمومی و بینالمللی حج، همدلی و تقویت پیوندهای اسلامی بدون در نظر گرفتن ملیتها، قومیتها و مذهبها مورد توجه جدی قرار گیرد و از این فرصت برای نزدیكتر شدن دلها استفاده شود.
ایشان یكی از ویژگیهای بارز حج امسال را، بیداری اسلامی در منطقه بویژه مصر، تونس، یمن و بحرین دانستند و تأكید كردند: با توجه به این رویداد مهم، امسال توطئه ایجاد اختلاف و بدبینی و تحریك احساسات میان امت اسلامی، برجستهتر خواهد بود و تنها راه غلبه بر این توطئه نزدیكتر شدن دلها و تقویت همدلی است.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی با تأكید بر اینكه مسلمانان یك تن واحد هستند، افزودند: حجاج ایرانی باید با چنین نگاه عمومی و جهانی در حج حضور یابند و تجربیات سی ساله خود در مبارزه با استكبار و معاندین را در اختیار ملتهای تازه انقلاب كرده، قرار دهند.
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای، رفتار خوب و همراه با ادب و احترام را از دیگر نكات ضروری برای حجاج ایرانی برشمردند و خاطرنشان كردند: حج فرصتی گرانبها برای پاكیزه شدن از آلودگیهای دنیا و مجموعهای از فرائض است كه باید ضمن قدر دانستن این مراسم عظیم و كمنظیر، در حفظ ذخایر معنوی بدست آمده آن هم همت كرد.
ایشان زائران بیتاللهالحرام را به آمادهسازی درونی خود، قبل از سفر حج و آماده شدن برای این میهمانی الهی توصیه كردند و افزودند: حاجی ایرانی باید با رفتار خود در حج، ملت، كشور و نظام جمهوری اسلامی ایران را در چشم دنیا سربلند كند.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی حجاج را به پرهیز از رفتارهای سبك توصیه و خاطرنشان كردند: یكی از این رفتارهای سبك، عطش بازارگردی است كه علاوه بر اینكه ارز كشور را برای خرید كالاهای بیكیفیت به هدر میدهد، فرصت ارزشمند عبادت و بهرهمندی معنوی را نیز از بین میبرد.

Ayatollah Khamenei the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution met Monday morning with the officials in charge of hajj affairs. At the meeting, His Eminence said that the enemy is making efforts to foment discord and to confront the wave of Islamic Awakening. He added that hajj is a very valuable opportunity to establish a relationship with the Islamic Ummah and to reap the spiritual benefits.
Ayatollah Khamenei said that hajj is one of the most important elements behind the success of Islam. He further described hajj as a great divine celebration which takes place at the center of glory, power and magnificence. \"Regarding the general and international dimension of hajj, it is necessary to pay serious attention to solidarity and strengthening Islamic bonds without taking nationalities, ethnicities and denominations into consideration. This opportunity should be used to make hearts get closer to one another.\"
The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution stressed that Muslims are a unified entity and added: \"Iranian pilgrims should take part in hajj ceremonies with this general and global outlook and they should let the nations that have recently carried out a revolution benefit from their thirty years of experience in fighting the arrogant powers and the enemies.\"
His Eminence called on hajj pilgrims to prepare themselves spiritually before taking part in hajj ceremonies and added: \"With their behavior during hajj, Iranian pilgrims should make the world hold the Iranian nation and the Islamic Republic of Iran in high regard.\"
Elsewhere in his statements, Ayatollah Khamenei referred to the recent economic corruption and reminded government officials to combat economic corruption in a decisive way. \"Government officials welcomed confronting economic corruption, but if they had acted on my recommendations, we would never have had events like the recent banking embezzlement.\"
The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution stressed that it is necessary to prevent corruption from becoming deep-rooted and added that it becomes very difficult to uproot corruption once it becomes deep-rooted. He assured the people that the three branches of government are determined to confront the recent event and to prevent similar events and said that government officials in the executive, legislative and judiciary branches are doing their duty.\"
The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution said that it inadvisable to create uproar which may prompt others to take advantage of this issue. However, he assured the people that government officials will follow up the issue until the end and that they will cut off the treacherous hands.
His Eminence emphatically urged the judiciary to keep the people updated about the case and stressed: \"The judiciary system must not have mercy on wrong-doers, vandals and corrupt individuals.\"
Iran\'s judiciary is investigating the recent large embezzlement case and has issued arrest warrants for a number of suspects. Also a number of bank managers have been fired.
Gholam Hossein Mohseni Ejei Iran\'s Prosecutor General, who has been put in charge of the embezzlement case by the Judiciary Chief, has announced that the case is being investigated swiftly and decisively. He has also said that the culprits will be severely punished.
Iran\'s Judiciary Chief Sadeq Larijani has stressed that the judiciary system will follow up the issue decisively. He has also said that the judiciary has been investigating the embezzlement case for almost two months.

رهبر انقلاب اسلامی با تأكید بر اینكه مسلمانان یك تن واحد هستند، افزودند: حجاج ایرانی باید با چنین نگاه عمومی و جهانی در حج حضور یابند و تجربیات سی ساله خود در مبارزه با استكبار و معاندین را در اختیار ملتهای تازه انقلاب كرده، قرار دهند.
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای، رفتار خوب و همراه با ادب و احترام را از دیگر نكات ضروری برای حجاج ایرانی برشمردند و خاطرنشان كردند: حج فرصتی گرانبها برای پاكیزه شدن از آلودگیهای دنیا و مجموعهای از فرائض است كه باید ضمن قدر دانستن این مراسم عظیم و كمنظیر، در حفظ ذخایر معنوی بدست آمده آن هم همت كرد.
ایشان زائران بیتاللهالحرام را به آمادهسازی درونی خود، قبل از سفر حج و آماده شدن برای این میهمانی الهی توصیه كردند و افزودند: حاجی ایرانی باید با رفتار خود در حج، ملت، كشور و نظام جمهوری اسلامی ایران را در چشم دنیا سربلند كند.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی حجاج را به پرهیز از رفتارهای سبك توصیه و خاطرنشان كردند: یكی از این رفتارهای سبك، عطش بازارگردی است كه علاوه بر اینكه ارز كشور را برای خرید كالاهای بیكیفیت به هدر میدهد، فرصت ارزشمند عبادت و بهرهمندی معنوی را نیز از بین میبرد.

Ayatollah Khamenei the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution met Monday morning with the officials in charge of hajj affairs. At the meeting, His Eminence said that the enemy is making efforts to foment discord and to confront the wave of Islamic Awakening. He added that hajj is a very valuable opportunity to establish a relationship with the Islamic Ummah and to reap the spiritual benefits.
Ayatollah Khamenei said that hajj is one of the most important elements behind the success of Islam. He further described hajj as a great divine celebration which takes place at the center of glory, power and magnificence. \"Regarding the general and international dimension of hajj, it is necessary to pay serious attention to solidarity and strengthening Islamic bonds without taking nationalities, ethnicities and denominations into consideration. This opportunity should be used to make hearts get closer to one another.\"
The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution stressed that Muslims are a unified entity and added: \"Iranian pilgrims should take part in hajj ceremonies with this general and global outlook and they should let the nations that have recently carried out a revolution benefit from their thirty years of experience in fighting the arrogant powers and the enemies.\"
His Eminence called on hajj pilgrims to prepare themselves spiritually before taking part in hajj ceremonies and added: \"With their behavior during hajj, Iranian pilgrims should make the world hold the Iranian nation and the Islamic Republic of Iran in high regard.\"
Elsewhere in his statements, Ayatollah Khamenei referred to the recent economic corruption and reminded government officials to combat economic corruption in a decisive way. \"Government officials welcomed confronting economic corruption, but if they had acted on my recommendations, we would never have had events like the recent banking embezzlement.\"
The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution stressed that it is necessary to prevent corruption from becoming deep-rooted and added that it becomes very difficult to uproot corruption once it becomes deep-rooted. He assured the people that the three branches of government are determined to confront the recent event and to prevent similar events and said that government officials in the executive, legislative and judiciary branches are doing their duty.\"
The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution said that it inadvisable to create uproar which may prompt others to take advantage of this issue. However, he assured the people that government officials will follow up the issue until the end and that they will cut off the treacherous hands.
His Eminence emphatically urged the judiciary to keep the people updated about the case and stressed: \"The judiciary system must not have mercy on wrong-doers, vandals and corrupt individuals.\"
Iran\'s judiciary is investigating the recent large embezzlement case and has issued arrest warrants for a number of suspects. Also a number of bank managers have been fired.
Gholam Hossein Mohseni Ejei Iran\'s Prosecutor General, who has been put in charge of the embezzlement case by the Judiciary Chief, has announced that the case is being investigated swiftly and decisively. He has also said that the culprits will be severely punished.
Iran\'s Judiciary Chief Sadeq Larijani has stressed that the judiciary system will follow up the issue decisively. He has also said that the judiciary has been investigating the embezzlement case for almost two months.

نداء قائد الثورة الإسلامیة
الإمام سيد علي الحسيني الخامنئي
إلى حجاج بيت الله الحرام – 1432هجرية
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
الحمد لله ربّ العالمين وصلوات الله وتحياته على سيد الأنام محمد المصطفى وآله الطيبين وصحبه المنتجبين.
حلّ الآن ربيع الحج بطراوته وصفائه المعنوي وعظمته وحشمته الموهوبة، وصيّر القلوب المؤمنة والمشتاقة كالفَراشات تحلّق حول كعبة التوحيد والوحدة. مكة ومنى والمشعر وعرفات منازل أناسٍ سُعداء لَبّوا نداء (وَأَذِّن فِي النَّاسِ بِالْحَجِّ) وفازوا بالحضور في ضیافة الربّ الكريم الغفور. فهنا ذلك البيت المبارك ومنطلق الهداية، حيث تسطع منه الآيات الإلهية البينات وتمتدّ فيه مظلة الأمان على رؤوس الجميع.
اغسلوا القلب في زمزم الصفاء والذكر والخشوع، وافتحوا عيون باطنكم على آيات ربّ العالمين الباهرة، واتجهوا إلى الإخلاص والتسليم فهما معالم العبودية الحقيقية، وأحيوا القلوبَ مرّات ومرّات بذكرى ذلك الأب الذي أخذ إسماعيله إلى المذبح عن طواعية وتسليم، وبذلك تعرفون الطريق اللاحب الواضح الذي فتحه أمَامنا للوصول إلى مقام الخليل للربّ الجليل، واحفظوا في همتكم الإیمانیة ونيتكم الصادقة عزم ولوج هذا الطريق.
مقام إبراهيم واحد من تلك الآيات البيّنات. موضع قدم إبراهيم (عليه السلام) بجوار الكعبة الشريفة، ليس الا رمزا لمقام إبراهيم. مقام إبراهيم هو مقام إخلاصه وإيثاره وتضحيته ، هو مقام وقوفه أمام دوافع النفس وعواطف الأبوّة، وكذلك أمام سيطرة الكفر والشرك وسلطة نمرود العصر.
هذان الطريقان للنجاة ماثلان الآن أمام كل فرد من أفراد أمتنا الإسلامية. ما فينا من همّة وشجاعة وعزم راسخ يستطيع أن يقودنا إلى نفس تلك الأهداف التي دعا البشرَ إليها أنبياءُ الله من آدم إلى الخاتم، ووعدوا السائرين نحوها بالعزّة والسعادة في الدنيا والآخرة.
في هذا المحضر العظيم للأمة الإسلامية ينبغي للحجاج أن يتناولوا أهمّ مسائل العالم الإسلامي.
إنّ على رأس هذه المسائل جميعًا اليوم، النهوض والثورة في بعض البلدان الإسلاميّة المهمة.بين حجّ العام الماضي وحجّ هذا العام برزت في العالم الإسلامي حوادث تستطيع أن تغيّر مصير الأمة الإسلامية، وتبشّر بمستقبل وضّاء مُفعم بالعزّة والتطور المادي والمعنوي. في مصر وتونس وليبيا أطيحَ بالطواغيت المتفرعنين الفاسدين العملاء، وفي بعض البلدان الأخرى تتصاعد أمواج الثورات الشعبية الهادرة لتهدّد قصور المال والقوّة بالإبادة والانهدام.
هذه الصفحة الجديدة من تاريخ أمتنا توضّح حقائق هي بأجمعها من الآيات الإلهية البينات، وتقدّم لنا دروسًا حياتية، هذه الحقائق يجب أن تؤخذ بنظر الاعتبار في جميع محاسبات الشعوب المسلمة.
الأولى : أنه انبثق من قلب الشعوب التي كانت لعشرات السنوات قابعة تحت السيطرة السياسية الأجنبية جيل من الشباب باعتماد على النفس ـ يستحق التقدير ـ خاطر بنفسه ونهض لمواجهة القوى المهينة وشمّر عن ساعد الجدّ لتغيير الأوضاع.
والحقيقة الأخرى: أنه رغم سيطرة الحكام العَلمانيين وما بذلوه من سعي في السر و العلن لعزل الدين عن الحياة في هذه البلدان، فإن الإسلام بنفوذٍ وحضور باهر وعظيم قد صار هاديا و موجّهًا للألسن والقلوب، و مثل ينبوع متدفّق بعث الطراوة والحياة في أقوال الجماهير المليونية وأعمالهم. وفي تجمعاتهم ومواقفهم. المآذن والمساجد والتكبير والشعارات الإسلامية معالم واضحة لهذه الحقيقة، والانتخابات الأخيرة في تونس برهان قاطع على هذا الادّعاء. ومن دون شك فإن الانتخابات الحرّة في أي بلد إسلامي آخر سوف لا تكون لها غير نتيجة ما حدث في تونس.
والأخرى : أن حوادث هذا العام قد بيّنت للجميع أن الله العزيز القدير قد جهّز في عزم الشعوب وإرادتها قدرةً لا تستطيع أن تقاومها أية قدرة أخرى. الشعوب بما وهبها الله من هذه القوة قادرة أن تغيّر مصيرها وتجعل النصر الإلهي من نصيبها.
والأخرى: أنّ الدول المستكبرة وعلى رأسها أمريكا مع انّها قد عملت لعشرات الأعوام، بممارسة أحابيلها السياسية والأمنية، على إخضاع حكومات المنطقة ظانة أنها قد عبّدت طريقًا سالكًا للسيطرة الاقتصادية والثقافية والسياسية المتزايدة على هذا الجزء الحسّاس من العالم، أصبحت الآن أول من یواجه السخط والرفض والنفور من شعوب المنطقة. ومما لا شك فيه أن الأنظمة المنبثقة عن هذه الثورات سوف لن تنصاع أبدًا لحالة عدم التعادل المهينة السابقة، وسوف تتغير الجغرافيا السياسية لهذه المنطقة بيد الشعوب وفي اتجاه التحقيق التام لعزّتها واستقلالها.
والأخرى: أن الطبيعة المزوّرة والمنافقة للقوى الغربية قد انكشفت لشعوب هذه البلدان. أمريكا وأوربا بذلتا كل ما فی وسعهما بشكل من الأشكال لإبقاء صنائعهما في مصر وتونس وليبيا، وحين تغلّب عزم الشعوب على ما أرادوه، توجّهوا إلى هذه الشعوب المنتصرة بابتسامة صداقة مزوّرة.
الحقائق القيّمة والآيات الإلهية البينة في حوادث العام الأخير بهذه المنطقة أكثر مما ذُكر وليس بالعسير على أهل التدبّر أن يروها ويعرفوها.
ولكن مع ذلك فإن الأمة الإسلامية بأجمعها وخاصة الشعوب الناهضة بحاجة إلى عنصرين أساسيين:
الأول: مواصلة الصمود، والحذر الشديد من وهن العزم الراسخ. الأمر الإلهي للنبي الأكرم (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) في القرآن الكريم هو: (فَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَا أُمِرْتَ وَمَن تَابَ مَعَكَ وَلاَ تَطْغَوْا) و (فَلِذَلِكَ فَادْعُ وَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَا أُمِرْتَ) وفي الكتاب الكريم وعلى لسان موسى ورد قوله سبحانه: (وقَالَ مُوسَى لِقَوْمِهِ اسْتَعِينُوا بِاللّهِ وَاصْبِرُواْ إِنَّ الأَرْضَ لِلّهِ يُورِثُهَا مَن يَشَاء مِنْ عِبَادِهِ وَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ).
إنّ مصداق التقوى البارز للشعوب الناهضة في هذه الفترة يتمثل في عدم توقّف حركتها المباركة، وأن لا تُلهينّها منجزات هذا المقطع. هذا هو القسم الأعظم من التقوى التي وُعد أصحابها بعاقبة الخير العميم.
الثاني: الوعي واليقظة أمام ما يكيده المستكبرون الدوليون والقوى التي صُفعت جرّاء هذه الثورات والنهضات. هؤلاء سوف لن یقفوا مكتوفي الأيدي، بل سيتوجهون إلى الساحة بكل قواهم السياسية والأمنية والمالية لاستعادة نفوذهم واقتدارهم في هذه البلدان. آليّتهم في ذلك التطميع والتهديد والخداع. التجارب دلت على أن بين الخاصة يوجد مَن تفعل هذه الآلية فعلَها فيهم، ويدفعهم الخوف والطمع والغفلة عالمين أو غير عالمين، إلى خدمة العدوّ. لابدّ أن تكون عيون الشباب اليقظين والمثقفين وعلماء الدين في حالة دقيقة من المراقبة.
إنّ أهم خطر هو تدخل جبهة الكفر والاستكبار وتأثيرها على صياغة النظام السياسي الجديد في هذه البلدان. سوف يبذلون ما بوسعهم كي لا تتخذ الأنظمة الجديدة هوية إسلاميّة وشعبيّة. المخلصون في هذه البلدان بأجمعهم والذين يحملون همّ عزة بلدانهم وكرامتها وتطورها كلهم يجب أن يسعوا إلى تحقيق إسلامية النظام الجديد وشعبيته بشكل تام وكامل. دور الدساتير له المكانة البارزة في هذا المجال. إن الاتحاد الوطني وقبول التنوع المذهبي والقبلي والقومي شرط لما يُستقبل من انتصارات.
لِتعلَم الشعوب الشجاعة الناهضة في مصر وتونس وليبيا والشعوب اليقظة المناضلة الأخرى أن نجاتها من ظلم وكيد أمريكا وسائر المستكبرين الغربيين يكمن فقط وفقط في أن يكون میزان القوى في العالم لصالحهم. من أجل أن يستطيع المسلمون حلّ قضایاهم مع القوى العالمية الطامعة بشكل جادّ، يجب عليهم أن يوصلوا أنفسهم إلى مشارف قوة عالمية كبرى. وهذا لا يتحقق إلاّ بالتعاون والتعاضد والاتحاد بين البلدان الإسلامية. وهذه هي الوصية الخالدة للإمام الخميني العظيم. أمريكا والناتو بذريعة القذافي الخبيث والدكتاتور صبّت النيران لأشهر على ليبيا وشعبها. والقذافي هو نفسه الذي كان يُعتبر قبل ما أقدم عليه الشعب الليبي من نهوض شجاع ،من أصدقائهم المقربين، وكانوا يحتضنونه وينهبون ثروات ليبيا على يديه، بل يشدّون على يديه أو يقبّلونها من أجل اِغوائه.. وبعد نهوض الشعب اتخذوه ذريعة وهدموا جميع البنى التحتية في ليبيا. أية دولة استطاعت أن تحول دون مأساة قتل الشعب الليبي وانهدام ليبيا بيد الناتو؟ مادامت مخالب القوى الدموية الطامعة والوحشية الغربية لم تنكسر فإن مثل هذه الأخطار متصوّرة للبلدان الإسلامية، ولا نجاة إلاّ بتشكيل قطب مقتدر من العالم الإسلامي.
الغرب وأمريكا والصهيونية اليوم أكثر ضعفًا من أي وقت مضى، إنّ المشاكل الاقتصادية، والهزائم المتتالية في أفغانستان والعراق، والاعتراضات العميقة الشعبية في أمريكا والبلدان الغربية الأخرى التي اتسعت يومًا بعد يوم، ونضال الشعب الفلسطيني واللبناني وتضحياتهما، والإنتفاضات البطولیة للشعوب في اليمن والبحرين وبعض البلدان الأخرى القابعة تحت النفوذ الأمریکي.. كل هذا يحمل بشائر كبرى للأمة الإسلامية وخاصة للبلدان الثائرة الجديدة.
المؤمنون من الرجال والنساء في جميع أرجاء العالم وخاصة في مصر وتونس وليبيا عليهم أن يستثمروا هذه الفرصة أكثر فأكثر لإقامة القوة الدولية الإسلامية. وليتوكل الخواص وطلائع النهضة على الله العلي القدير ويعتمدوا على وعده بالنصر، ويزيّنوا الصفحة الجديدة المفتوحة من تاريخ الأمة الإسلامية بمفاخرهم الخالدة التي ترضي الله تعالى وتوفّر لهم عوامل نصرته سبحانه.
والسلام على عباد الله الصالحين

[AZERBAIJANI] Vali Amr Muslimeen Ayatullah Ali Khamenei - HAJJ Message 2011
Ayetullah Uzma Seyyid Ali Hamaney\'in Hicri 1432 (2011) Yılı Hac Mesajı
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim
Hamd alemlerin Rabbine aittir. Allah\'ın salatı ve salamı yaratıkların efendisi...
Ayetullah Uzma Seyyid Ali Hamaney\'in Hicri 1432 (2011) Yılı Hac Mesajı
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim
Hamd alemlerin Rabbine aittir. Allah\'ın salatı ve salamı yaratıkların efendisi Muhammed Mustafa\'ya, onun pak Ehl-i Beyt\'ine ve seçkin ashabına olsun.
Hac baharı ilahi ihtişam, manevi güzellik ve sefasıyla ulaşmıştır. Müminlerin iştiyaklı gönülleri tevhit ve vahdet Ka\'besinin etrafına dönmekte; Mekke, Mina, Müzdelife ve Arafat \"İnsanların arasında Haccı ilan et…\" nidasına icabet ederek Gafur ve Kerim olan Allah\'ın misafirliği ile şereflenen mutlu insanların bir araya geldikleri menziller ve ilahi ayetlerin nurunun yayıldığı ve her kese güvenlik şemsiyesinin gerildiği hidayet odağı mübarek evler durumuna gelmişlerdir.
Kalbinizi zikir ve huşunun safa ve zemzeminde yıkayın. İç gözünüzü Hak Teala\'nın apaçık alametlerini görmek için açın, gerçek kulluğun nişanesi olan ihlas ve teslime yönelin. Teslimiyet ile İsmail\'ini kurbanlığa götüren o büyük babanın anısını defalarca gönlünüzde canlandırın ve bu yolla Yüce Allah\'ın, kendi muhabbetini kazanmak için önünüze açtığı yolu algılayın ve bu yolda adım atmayı imana dayanan azim ve niyete dönüştürün.
İbrahim\'in makamı o apaçık nişanelerden biridir. İbrahim\'in makamı bir yandan ihlas ve fedakarlık makamı, diğer yandan nefsani isteklere ve dönemin Nemrud\'une karşı çıkış makamıdır.
Bu iki unsur biz İslam ümmetinin kurtuluş yoludur. Bizden her birimizin İslam yolunda şecaat, azim ve kararlılığı, Hz. Adem\'den Hatem\'e kadar ilahi mesajlarının taşıyıcılarının insanlığa sundukları ve takipçilerine dünya ve ahiret mutluluğunu vaat ettikleri çağrılarına icabet ve onlara uymak sayılır.
Bu büyük hac toplantısında hacı adayları İslam dünyasının en önemli konu ve sorun-larıyla ilgilenmeleri gerekir. Günümüzde bu meselelerin başında bazı önemli İslam ülkelerinde cereyan eden İslami kıyam ve inkılaplar gelir. Geçen yılın hac merasimleri esnasında ve bu yıl İslam ümmetinin takdirini değiştirebilecek, maddi ve manevi ilerleme, izzete dayalı aydın bir geleceği müjdeleyen gelişmeler ve olaylar vuku buldu. Mısır\'da, Tunus\'ta ve Libya\'da diktatörlerin ve bağımlı tağutların egemenliklerine son verilmiş ve diğer bazı ülkelerde de halkın kıyamı zalimlerin saraylarını yıkılmak eşiğine getirmiştir.
Ümmetimizin tarihinde açılan bu yeni faslın ortaya çıkardığı gerçekler bize hayat bahşeden derslerdir. Bu gerçekler, müslü-man milletlerin bütün muhasebelerinde dikkate alınmalıdır. Bunları şöyle sıralaya-biliriz:
Birincisi, günümüzde on yıllar boyunca yabancıların siyasi tasallutu altında yaşamış milletlerin içinden öz güvenle tehlike meydanına atılan, egemen güçlerle karşı koymaya çalışan ve var olan durumu değiştirmeye çalışan yeni bir genç nesil ortaya çıkmıştır.
İkincisi, laik yöneticilerin çaba ve tahakkümüne rağmen ve onların bu ülkelerdeki dine karşı açık ve gizli çabalarına rağmen İslam muhteşem ve apaçık bir güçle sahnededir, gönüllerin hidayetçisi olarak söz ve amelde milyonluk kitlelerin toplantılarına canlılık ve hayat veren bir pınar durumundadır. Ma\'zeneler, tekbirler ve İslami sloganlar bunu ifade eden gerçeklerdir. Tunus\'ta gerçekleşen son seçimler de bu iddiayı kanıtlayan kesin bir delildir. Hiç şüphesiz diğer ülkelerde de serbest seçimler gerçekleşecek olursa Tunus\'ta gerçekleşen sonuçtan farklı bir sonuç ortaya çıkmaz.
Üçüncüsü, bu yıldaki olaylar herkese gösterdi ki Aziz ve Kadir Allah milletlerin iradesinde öyle bir güç vermiştir ki hiçbir güç ona karşı koyacak bir güce sahip değildir.
Dördüncüsü, müstekbir devletler ve onların başında Amerika onlarca yıl boyunca türlü türlü siyası ve güvenlik oyunlarına başvurarak bölge ülkelerini kendi emirlerine boyun eğdirmiş, kendi zanlarınca iktisadı, kültürel ve siyasi sultaları için engelsiz bir ortam oluşturmuşlardı. Şimdi bu devletler milletlerin nefretlerinin hedefi durumundadırlar. Kesinlikle bilmemiz gere-kir ki bu inkılaplardan meydana gelen nizamlar asla önceki zillet dolu denklemlere boyun eğmeyecektir. Bu bölgenin siyasi coğrafyası milletlerin eliyle ve onların izzeti ve tam bir bağımsızlığı yönünde seyredecektir.
Beşincisi, Batı\'nın münafık ve aldatıcı yapısı, bu ülkelerin halkları nezdinde artık iyice bilinmektedir. Mısır\'da, Tunus\'ta ve Libya\'da, Amerika ve Avrupa ellerinden geldiği kadar kendi maşalarını korumak için çalışmışlardır. Ancak milletlerin iradesi onların isteklerine üstün geldiğinde halkın yüzüne aldatıcı gülücükler sunmaya başladılar.
Son bir yılda gerçekleşen olaylarda meydana gelen ilahi açık alametler bu saydıklarımızdan daha fazladır. Tefekkür ehli için bu alametleri görmek zor değildir.
Ancak bütün bunlara rağmen bugün İslam ümmeti ve özellikle kıyam eden milletler iki temel unsura muhtaçtırlar.
1- Direnişi sürdürmek ve azimlerin gevşemesini önlemek:
Yüce Allah\'ın Kur\'an\'da Peygamber\'ine emri şöyledir: \"Artık sen ve seninle beraber bulunan ve tövbe etmiş olanlarla birlikte, nasıl emredildiyse öylece dos-doğru hareket et.\" (Hud: 112)
Yine Hz. Musa\'nın dilinden şöyle diyor:
\"Musa kavmine, \"Allah\'tan yardım dileyin ve sabredin. Kuşkusuz yeryüzü Allah\'ındır; onu kullarından dilediğine miras bırakır ve (güzel) son takvalı-larındır.\" dedi.\" (A\'raf: 128)
Kıyam etmiş milletler için bu dönemde takvanın somut örneği kendi mübarek hareketlerini sürdürmeleridir. Kendilerine iyi sonuç vaat edilen takvalıların taşımaları gereken en önemli takva unsuru da bundan ibarettir.
2- Uluslararası hilelere ve bu hareketlerden darbe alan güçlere karşı uyanıklık:
Düşmanlar boş durmazlar; bütün siyasi, güvenlik ve mali güçleriyle bu ülkelerde elden çıkan güç ve nüfuzlarını yeniden elde etmek için çalışırlar. Onların ellerindeki vesile aldatma ve tehditten ibarettir. Tecrübe göstermiştir ki elit kesim arasında onlara araç ve vesile olacak kimseler bulunurlar, bunlarda olan korku, ihtiras ve gaflet bilerek veya bilmeyerek düşmana hizmet etmelerine yol açar. Gençler, din alimleri ve aydınlar bu tür sapmaları dikkatle gözetlemelidirler.
En önemli tehlike bu ülkelerin yeni siyasi yapılarında küfür ve istikbar cephesinin müdahale etmesi ve etkili olmasıdır. Onlar bütün çabalarıyla yeni kurulan nizamların İslami ve halkçı bir yapıya sahip olmaması için çalışacaklardır. Bu ülkelerdeki samimi kimseler ve ülkelerinin izzet, onur ve ilerlemesine önem veren her kes yeni kurulacak nizamların tam manada İslami ve halkçı bir içeriğe sahip olması yolunda çaba göstermek durumundadırlar. Bu arada hazırlanacak anayasaların önemli bir konumu vardır. Milli birliliği korumanın yanı sıra, mezhebi, kabilevi ve dil farklılıklarını resmiyete tanımak gelecek-teki zaferlerin şartıdır.
Mısır\'da, Tunus\'ta ve Libya\'da kıyam eden şecaatli halk, diğer uyanık ve mücadeleci milletler bilmelidirler ki onların Amerika\'nın ve diğer müstekbirlerin zulüm ve oyunlarından kurtulmaları dünyadaki güç dengesinin onların lehine değişmesine bağlıdır. Müslümanlar, sorunlarını ciddi bir anlamda emperyalistlere rağmen çözebil-meleri için kendilerini dünyadaki bir güç olacak düzeye ulaştırmalıdırlar. Bu da sadece İslam ülkelerinin gönül birliği ve işbirliği ile mümkün olabilir. Bu İmam Humeyni\'nin unutulmaz vasiyetidir. Amerika ve Nato habis ve diktatör Kazzafi\'yi bahane ederek aylarca Libya halkının başına ateş yağdırdılar. Kaddafi Libya milletinin şecaatli kıyamından önce onların yakın dostlarından sayılır onu bağırlarına basıyor ve onun aracılığı ile Libya\'nın servetini yağmalıyorlardı. Onu aldatmak için elini sıkıyor veya öpüyorlardı…
Halkın kıyamından sonra onu bahane ederek Libya\'nın bütün altyapısını tahrip ettiler. Hangi ülke halkın Nato tarafından katledilmesine ve Libya\'nın tahribine engel olabilirdi? Kan içen ve vahşi Batılı güçlerin diş ve pençeleri kırılmadıkça sürekli İslam ülkeleri için bu tür tehlikeler söz konusu olacaktır. Bundan kurtuluş ancak İslam dünyasının güç bloğu oluşmayla mümkün olur.
Bugün Batı, Amerika ve Siyonizm her zamankinden daha çok zayıflamışlardır. İktisadi sorunlar, Afganistan ve Irak\'ta birbirini izleyen yenilgiler, Amerika ve diğer Batı ülkelerinde her gün geçtikçe genişleyen köklü itirazlar, Filistin ve Lübnan halklarının fedakarca mücadeleleri, Yemen, Bahreyn ve Amerika\'nın nüfuzu altında olan ülkelerin halklarının kahra-manca kıyamları, İslam ümmetine ve özellikle yeni İnkılap etmiş ülkelere büyük müjdeleri içermektedir. İslam dünyasındaki mümin kardeş ve bacılar özellikle Mısır, Tunus ve Libya\'daki halklar, uluslararası İslam gücünü kurmak için bu fırsattan en güzel şekilde yararlanmalıdırlar. Aydın kesim ve bu hareketlerin öncüleri Yüce Allah\'a tevekkül etmeli; Onun yardım vadine güvenmelidirler ve İslam ümmeti için açılan bu yeni sayfayı kendi kalıcı çabalarıyla Allah\'ın rızasını kazanmak için bir vesile kılmalıdırlar.
Allah\'ın selamı salih kullarına olsun.

Description:
Ayetullah Uzma Seyyid Ali Hamaney\'in Hicri 1432 (2011) Yılı Hac Mesajı
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim
Hamd alemlerin Rabbine aittir. Allah\'ın salatı ve salamı yaratıkların efendisi Muhammed Mustafa\'ya, onun pak Ehl-i Beyt\'ine ve seçkin ashabına olsun.
Hac baharı ilahi ihtişam, manevi güzellik ve sefasıyla ulaşmıştır. Müminlerin iştiyaklı gönülleri tevhit ve vahdet Ka\'besinin etrafına dönmekte; Mekke, Mina, Müzdelife ve Arafat \"İnsanların arasında Haccı ilan et…\" nidasına icabet ederek Gafur ve Kerim olan Allah\'ın misafirliği ile şereflenen mutlu insanların bir araya geldikleri menziller ve ilahi ayetlerin nurunun yayıldığı ve her kese güvenlik şemsiyesinin gerildiği hidayet odağı mübarek evler durumuna gelmişlerdir.
Kalbinizi zikir ve huşunun safa ve zemzeminde yıkayın. İç gözünüzü Hak Teala\'nın apaçık alametlerini görmek için açın, gerçek kulluğun nişanesi olan ihlas ve teslime yönelin. Teslimiyet ile İsmail\'ini kurbanlığa götüren o büyük babanın anısını defalarca gönlünüzde canlandırın ve bu yolla Yüce Allah\'ın, kendi muhabbetini kazanmak için önünüze açtığı yolu algılayın ve bu yolda adım atmayı imana dayanan azim ve niyete dönüştürün.
İbrahim\'in makamı o apaçık nişanelerden biridir. İbrahim\'in makamı bir yandan ihlas ve fedakarlık makamı, diğer yandan nefsani isteklere ve dönemin Nemrud\'une karşı çıkış makamıdır.
Bu iki unsur biz İslam ümmetinin kurtuluş yoludur. Bizden her birimizin İslam yolunda şecaat, azim ve kararlılığı, Hz. Adem\'den Hatem\'e kadar ilahi mesajlarının taşıyıcılarının insanlığa sundukları ve takipçilerine dünya ve ahiret mutluluğunu vaat ettikleri çağrılarına icabet ve onlara uymak sayılır.
Bu büyük hac toplantısında hacı adayları İslam dünyasının en önemli konu ve sorun-larıyla ilgilenmeleri gerekir. Günümüzde bu meselelerin başında bazı önemli İslam ülkelerinde cereyan eden İslami kıyam ve inkılaplar gelir. Geçen yılın hac merasimleri esnasında ve bu yıl İslam ümmetinin takdirini değiştirebilecek, maddi ve manevi ilerleme, izzete dayalı aydın bir geleceği müjdeleyen gelişmeler ve olaylar vuku buldu. Mısır\'da, Tunus\'ta ve Libya\'da diktatörlerin ve bağımlı tağutların egemenliklerine son verilmiş ve diğer bazı ülkelerde de halkın kıyamı zalimlerin saraylarını yıkılmak eşiğine getirmiştir.
Ümmetimizin tarihinde açılan bu yeni faslın ortaya çıkardığı gerçekler bize hayat bahşeden derslerdir. Bu gerçekler, müslü-man milletlerin bütün muhasebelerinde dikkate alınmalıdır. Bunları şöyle sıralaya-biliriz:
Birincisi, günümüzde on yıllar boyunca yabancıların siyasi tasallutu altında yaşamış milletlerin içinden öz güvenle tehlike meydanına atılan, egemen güçlerle karşı koymaya çalışan ve var olan durumu değiştirmeye çalışan yeni bir genç nesil ortaya çıkmıştır.
İkincisi, laik yöneticilerin çaba ve tahakkümüne rağmen ve onların bu ülkelerdeki dine karşı açık ve gizli çabalarına rağmen İslam muhteşem ve apaçık bir güçle sahnededir, gönüllerin hidayetçisi olarak söz ve amelde milyonluk kitlelerin toplantılarına canlılık ve hayat veren bir pınar durumundadır. Ma\'zeneler, tekbirler ve İslami sloganlar bunu ifade eden gerçeklerdir. Tunus\'ta gerçekleşen son seçimler de bu iddiayı kanıtlayan kesin bir delildir. Hiç şüphesiz diğer ülkelerde de serbest seçimler gerçekleşecek olursa Tunus\'ta gerçekleşen sonuçtan farklı bir sonuç ortaya çıkmaz.
Üçüncüsü, bu yıldaki olaylar herkese gösterdi ki Aziz ve Kadir Allah milletlerin iradesinde öyle bir güç vermiştir ki hiçbir güç ona karşı koyacak bir güce sahip değildir.
Dördüncüsü, müstekbir devletler ve onların başında Amerika onlarca yıl boyunca türlü türlü siyası ve güvenlik oyunlarına başvurarak bölge ülkelerini kendi emirlerine boyun eğdirmiş, kendi zanlarınca iktisadı, kültürel ve siyasi sultaları için engelsiz bir ortam oluşturmuşlardı. Şimdi bu devletler milletlerin nefretlerinin hedefi durumundadırlar. Kesinlikle bilmemiz gere-kir ki bu inkılaplardan meydana gelen nizamlar asla önceki zillet dolu denklemlere boyun eğmeyecektir. Bu bölgenin siyasi coğrafyası milletlerin eliyle ve onların izzeti ve tam bir bağımsızlığı yönünde seyredecektir.
Beşincisi, Batı\'nın münafık ve aldatıcı yapısı, bu ülkelerin halkları nezdinde artık iyice bilinmektedir. Mısır\'da, Tunus\'ta ve Libya\'da, Amerika ve Avrupa ellerinden geldiği kadar kendi maşalarını korumak için çalışmışlardır. Ancak milletlerin iradesi onların isteklerine üstün geldiğinde halkın yüzüne aldatıcı gülücükler sunmaya başladılar.

[FRENCH] Vali Amr Muslimeen Ayatullah Ali Khamenei - HAJJ Message 2011
بسماللهالرحمنالرحیم
الحمدلله رب العالمین و صلوات الله و تحیاته علی سیدالانام محمدٍ المصطفی و آله...
بسماللهالرحمنالرحیم
الحمدلله رب العالمین و صلوات الله و تحیاته علی سیدالانام محمدٍ المصطفی و آله الطیبین و صحبه المنتجبین.
« Louange à DIEU seigneur des Mondes. Les prières de DIEU et ces salutations sur le maître des créatures Mohammad El Mostafa, sa Famille Pure et les Compagnons choisis.»
Le printemps du Hajj est là, avec sa fraîcheur et sa pureté spirituelle, avec sa majesté et sa grandeur divine, pour que les cœurs des croyants passionnés puissent graviter autour de la Kaaba de l’unicité (de Dieu) et de l’unité (de l’Umma). La Mecque, Mina, Mash’ar et Arafat abritent en ces jours des hommes heureux d\'avoir répondu à l’appel:
\" و اذّن فی الناس بالحج.. \"
(Et fais aux gens une annonce pour le Hajj - S22v27)
et honorés d’être présents au banquet de Dieu. C\'est ici la demeure bénie de Dieu, le siège de l\'orientation des hommes, d’où rayonnent les versets manifestes et lumineux, s’étendant sur la Création comme un abri protecteur.
Purifiez votre cœur à la source Zamzam, source de la sérénité, de l’invocation et de la soumission! Ouvrez les yeux de votre âme aux signes manifestes de la Vérité ! Retrouvez la pureté et l’abandon à Dieu, témoins de la vraie soumission ! Revivez en permanence la mémoire de ce père qui, s’abandonnant à son Dieu, amena son fils Ismaël au sacrifice ! C’est ainsi que vous connaîtrez la voie évidente de l’amitié de Dieu, et marcherez dans la Voie, qui ne demande que votre volonté, votre dévotion et votre sincérité.
La Station d\'Ibrahim est l\'un de ces signes manifestes. L\'empreinte du pied d’Ibrahim, près de la Kaaba, n’est qu\'une expression de sa place éminente. La vraie dignité d’Ibrahim est celle de sa foi indéfectible, de son abnégation et de son sacrifice; de sa résistance aux tentations et à sa passion de père, et de son combat contre l\'impiété, le polythéisme et la tyrannie de son temps.
Ces deux voies de salut sont toujours ouvertes à chacun d\'entre nous, membres de l’Umma islamique. La volonté, le courage et la détermination, voilà ce qui peut nous conduire aux objectifs vers lesquels les prophètes de Dieu, d’Adam à Mohammad ( SAW ) le Khatam (le sceau de la prophétie), ont appelé l’humanité toute entière, en lui promettant dignité et béatitude sur terre et dans l’au-delà.
Lors de cet auguste événement, les pèlerins doivent également se consacrer aux importants problèmes qui agitent le monde musulman. Au premier plan, à l\'heure actuelle, les révoltes et révolutions qui bouleversent un certain nombre de pays. Entre le Hajj de l’an dernier et celui de cette année, des évènements majeurs ont eu lieu dans le monde musulman, des évènements capables de changer le destin de l’Umma islamique, et qui laissent présager un avenir radieux et digne, marqué par le progrès spirituel et matériel. En Egypte, en Tunisie et en Libye, des Tâghoût dictateurs, corrompus et dépendants de l’étranger, ont été tirés à bas. En d\'autres pays, les vagues retentissantes des soulèvements populaires menacent de ruine et de destruction les palaces bâtis sur le pillage et l’oppression.
C\'est un nouveau chapitre qui s’ouvre ainsi dans l’histoire de notre Umma, un chapitre qui révèle des vérités, des signes divins, clairs et manifestes, et nous donne des leçons édifiantes. Ces vérités doivent être prises en considération par toutes les nations musulmanes.
D’abord, le fait que de nos jours, après des années de domination politique étrangère, une nouvelle génération de jeunes animés d’une confiance en soi exemplaire, allant au devant des dangers, entre en action, et se dresse face aux puissances hégémoniques, une génération déterminée à changer sa situation et l\'ordre mondial.
Ensuite, le fait que malgré les efforts cachés ou évidents de « désislamisation » de ces pays par les forces hégémonistes antireligieuses, l\'islam, à l’instar d’une source abondante, de par son influence grandissante et sa présence bienveillante, réussit à donner une nouvelle fraîcheur et vie au discours et au comportement des millions de Musulmans à travers le monde, en orientant les cœurs et les langues. Les appels à la prière, les salles de prières pleines, les slogans tels que « Dieu est Grand » sont autant de signes évidents qui en disent long sur cette vérité, et les élections récentes en Tunisie n’en sont qu’une preuve irréfutable de plus. Il ne fait aucun doute que dans chacun des pays musulmans, en cas d’élections libres, le résultat ne différera guère de celui de la Tunisie.
Un autre fait marquant des événements de l’année écoulée fut la démonstration que Dieu, Adoré et Omnipotent, a mis dans la volonté et la détermination des nations une puissance inégalée. Munies de cette force divine, les nations musulmanes peuvent changer leur destin et remporter la victoire accordée par Dieu.
Désormais, les puissances arrogantes et à leur tête l’Amérique qui, par des stratagèmes politiques et sécuritaires, avaient assujetti des décennies durant les Etats de la région et pensaient avoir aplani le chemin pour leur mainmise grandissante sur la vie économique, politique et culturelle de cette partie sensible du monde, sont devenues la première cible du ressentiment et de la haine des peuples de la région. Il ne fait aucun doute que les régimes issus de ces révolutions ne seront plus prêts à se soumettre à l\'ordre passé, et la volonté des peuples bouleversera la géopolitique de cette région, dans le sens de la dignité et de l\'indépendance des nations.
Un autre point important de cette année a été le fait que ces événements ont mis en évidence la nature perfide et hypocrite des puissances occidentales. En Egypte, en Tunisie et en Libye, - chaque pays à sa manière -, l’Amérique et l’Europe se sont dépensées sans compter pour maintenir leurs laquais au pouvoir, et c\'est uniquement lorsque la volonté des peuples s\'est montrée invincible qu’elles ont commencé à offrir leur amitié hypocrite.
Les signes manifestes de Dieu dans cette région ont été si nombreux cette année qu’il n’est guère difficile, à ceux qui réfléchissent, de les apercevoir.
Cependant, l\'Umma islamique et en particulier les nations révoltées ne doivent pas oublier deux nécessités vitales:
- La persévérance dans la résistance. Les nations doivent éviter d\'être démoralisées et tenir fermement le cap. Ainsi que l\'ordonna Dieu à son Prophète (S):
\"فاستقم كما امرت و من تاب معك و لاتطغوا \"
(Demeure sur le droit chemin comme il t\'est commandé, ainsi que ceux qui sont revenus [à Dieu] avec toi, et ne commettez pas d\'excès – S11V112)
\" فلذلك فادع و استقم كما امرت\"
(Appelle donc (les gens) à cela; reste droit comme il t\'a été commandé – S42V15)
et Moïse(S) à son peuple :
« \" و قال موسي لقومه استعينوا بالله و اصبروا، ان الارض لله يورثها من يشاء من عباده و العاقبه للمتقين\" ».
(Moïse dit à son peuple : \"Demandez aide auprès de Dieu et soyez patients, car la terre appartient à Dieu. IL la donne en héritage à qui IL veut parmi ces serviteurs – S 7V128)
La grande vertu des nations aujourd\'hui en révolte serait de ne pas abandonner leurs efforts et de ne pas se contenter des acquis du moment. S\'ils réussissent, le «bienheureux destin» promis aux vertueux prendra son sens.
- La vigilance face aux ruses de l’arrogance mondiale et des puissances dont les intérêts ont été menacés par ces révolutions. Ces puissances ne resteront pas inactives et se serviront de leurs capacités politique, sécuritaire et financière pour regagner leur influence et reprendre le contrôle dans ces pays. Leurs moyens sont la corruption, l\'intimidation et la ruse. L’expérience a montré que même l\'élite des nations peut inclure des individus maniables par ces moyens, qui par crainte, par convoitise ou par négligence, se trouvent à leur su ou insu au service de l’ennemi. Il faut que les jeunes, les intellectuels et les savants religieux demeurent attentifs à ce danger.
Le danger le plus important qui menace les régimes politiques nouveaux de ces pays libérés demeure celui de l’ingérence des irréligieux et des arrogants. Ils feront tout ce qui en leur pouvoir pour empêcher les nouveaux régimes d\'acquérir leur identité islamique et populaire. Or, tous ceux qui souhaitent la dignité, la grandeur et le progrès de ces pays, se doivent de préserver le caractère populaire et islamique de ces nouveaux régimes. Le rôle des constitutions est déterminant dans ce processus. L’unité nationale et la reconnaissance des différences religieuses, ethniques et raciales constituent la condition des victoires futures.
Les peuples courageux et révolutionnaires d\'Egypte, de Tunisie et de Libye, et toutes les autres nations révoltées et combattantes doivent savoir qu\'ils ne seront libres du joug de l’oppression et de la perfidie des Etats-Unis et des arrogantes puissances occidentales, qu’en changeant les rapports de force mondiaux en leur faveur.
Pour que les Musulmans puissent sérieusement régler le compte aux pilleurs du monde, il faut qu’ils s’élèvent et qu\'ils forment une grande puissance mondiale, et une telle chose nécessite la coopération, la solidarité et l’unité des pays musulmans. Accomplir ceci, voilà le vœu inoubliable du grand Imam Khomeiny.
L’Amérique et l’Otan, prétextant vouloir combattre l’infâme dictateur Kadhafi, ont bombardé le peuple libyen des mois durant. Juste avant que le peuple libyen se soulève courageusement contre Kadhafi, ce même Kadhafi n’était-il pas l’ami proche des membres de l\'Otan et de l\'Amérique, celui que ces derniers serraient dans les bras, embrassaient, celui dont ils baisaient la main, pour le flatter et mieux piller les richesses de la Libye ?... Après le soulèvement, n’ont-ils pas détruit toutes les infrastructures de la Libye, soi-disant pour combattre Kadhafi ? Quel gouvernement a pu empêcher l\'Otan de massacrer la population et de détruire les villes ?
Tant que les dents et les griffes de ces puissances sanguinaires et sauvages occidentales ne sont pas brisées, de tels dangers persisteront pour les pays musulmans. La libération ne peut être obtenue qu\'avec la création d’un bloc islamique puissant dans le monde.
L’Occident, l’Amérique et le sionisme sont de nos jours plus affaiblis que jamais. Des difficultés économiques, des échecs successifs en Afghanistan et en Irak, les importants mouvements de contestation, s\'étendant quotidiennement, qui secouent l\'Amérique et les autres pays occidentaux, le combat et les sacrifices des peuples palestiniens et libanais, les soulèvements courageux des populations au Yémen, en Bahreïn et en d’autres pays contre le joug américain, tous ces évènements sont de bonnes nouvelles pour le futur de l’Umma islamique, notamment pour les pays musulmans en révolution. Les croyantes et les croyants, partout dans le monde musulman, en particulier en Egypte, en Tunisie et en Libye, doivent intelligemment mettre à profit cette occasion, dans l’objectif de créer une puissance internationale islamique. L’élite et l’avant-garde de ces mouvements doivent se confier à Dieu et avoir confiance en Ses promesses de victoire, afin d’orner ce chapitre glorieux de l’histoire de l’Umma islamique par de nouvelles et définitives victoires qui satisferont Dieu et seront le prélude à Son triomphe éternel.

Ensuite, le fait que malgré les efforts cachés ou évidents de « désislamisation » de ces pays par les forces hégémonistes antireligieuses, l\'islam, à l’instar d’une source abondante, de par son influence grandissante et sa présence bienveillante, réussit à donner une nouvelle fraîcheur et vie au discours et au comportement des millions de Musulmans à travers le monde, en orientant les cœurs et les langues. Les appels à la prière, les salles de prières pleines, les slogans tels que « Dieu est Grand » sont autant de signes évidents qui en disent long sur cette vérité, et les élections récentes en Tunisie n’en sont qu’une preuve irréfutable de plus. Il ne fait aucun doute que dans chacun des pays musulmans, en cas d’élections libres, le résultat ne différera guère de celui de la Tunisie.
Un autre fait marquant des événements de l’année écoulée fut la démonstration que Dieu, Adoré et Omnipotent, a mis dans la volonté et la détermination des nations une puissance inégalée. Munies de cette force divine, les nations musulmanes peuvent changer leur destin et remporter la victoire accordée par Dieu.
Désormais, les puissances arrogantes et à leur tête l’Amérique qui, par des stratagèmes politiques et sécuritaires, avaient assujetti des décennies durant les Etats de la région et pensaient avoir aplani le chemin pour leur mainmise grandissante sur la vie économique, politique et culturelle de cette partie sensible du monde, sont devenues la première cible du ressentiment et de la haine des peuples de la région. Il ne fait aucun doute que les régimes issus de ces révolutions ne seront plus prêts à se soumettre à l\'ordre passé, et la volonté des peuples bouleversera la géopolitique de cette région, dans le sens de la dignité et de l\'indépendance des nations.
Un autre point important de cette année a été le fait que ces événements ont mis en évidence la nature perfide et hypocrite des puissances occidentales. En Egypte, en Tunisie et en Libye, - chaque pays à sa manière -, l’Amérique et l’Europe se sont dépensées sans compter pour maintenir leurs laquais au pouvoir, et c\'est uniquement lorsque la volonté des peuples s\'est montrée invincible qu’elles ont commencé à offrir leur amitié hypocrite.
Les signes manifestes de Dieu dans cette région ont été si nombreux cette année qu’il n’est guère difficile, à ceux qui réfléchissent, de les apercevoir.
Cependant, l\'Umma islamique et en particulier les nations révoltées ne doivent pas oublier deux nécessités vitales:
- La persévérance dans la résistance. Les nations doivent éviter d\'être démoralisées et tenir fermement le cap. Ainsi que l\'ordonna Dieu à son Prophète (S):
\"فاستقم كما امرت و من تاب معك و لاتطغوا \"
(Demeure sur le droit chemin comme il t\'est commandé, ainsi que ceux qui sont revenus [à Dieu] avec toi, et ne commettez pas d\'excès – S11V112)
\" فلذلك فادع و استقم كما امرت\"
(Appelle donc (les gens) à cela; reste droit comme il t\'a été commandé – S42V15)
et Moïse(S) à son peuple :
« \" و قال موسي لقومه استعينوا بالله و اصبروا، ان الارض لله يورثها من يشاء من عباده و العاقبه للمتقين\" ».
(Moïse dit à son peuple : \"Demandez aide auprès de Dieu et soyez patients, car la terre appartient à Dieu. IL la donne en héritage à qui IL veut parmi ces serviteurs – S 7V128)
La grande vertu des nations aujourd\'hui en révolte serait de ne pas abandonner leurs efforts et de ne pas se contenter des acquis du moment. S\'ils réussissent, le «bienheureux destin» promis aux vertueux prendra son sens.
- La vigilance face aux ruses de l’arrogance mondiale et des puissances dont les intérêts ont été menacés par ces révolutions. Ces puissances ne resteront pas inactives et se serviront de leurs capacités politique, sécuritaire et financière pour regagner leur influence et reprendre le contrôle dans ces pays. Leurs moyens sont la corruption, l\'intimidation et la ruse. L’expérience a montré que même l\'élite des nations peut inclure des individus maniables par ces moyens, qui par crainte, par convoitise ou par négligence, se trouvent à leur su ou insu au service de l’ennemi. Il faut que les jeunes, les intellectuels et les savants religieux demeurent attentifs à ce danger.
Le danger le plus important qui menace les régimes politiques nouveaux de ces pays libérés demeure celui de l’ingérence des irréligieux et des arrogants. Ils feront tout ce qui en leur pouvoir pour empêcher les nouveaux régimes d\'acquérir leur identité islamique et populaire. Or, tous ceux qui souhaitent la dignité, la grandeur et le progrès de ces pays, se doivent de préserver le caractère populaire et islamique de ces nouveaux régimes. Le rôle des constitutions est déterminant dans ce processus. L’unité nationale et la reconnaissance des différences religieuses, ethniques et raciales constituent la condition des victoires futures.
Les peuples courageux et révolutionnaires d\'Egypte, de Tunisie et de Libye, et toutes les autres nations révoltées et combattantes doivent savoir qu\'ils ne seront libres du joug de l’oppression et de la perfidie des Etats-Unis et des arrogantes puissances occidentales, qu’en changeant les rapports de force mondiaux en leur faveur.
Pour que les Musulmans puissent sérieusement régler le compte aux pilleurs du monde, il faut qu’ils s’élèvent et qu\'ils forment une grande puissance mondiale, et une telle chose nécessite la coopération, la solidarité et l’unité des pays musulmans. Accomplir ceci, voilà le vœu inoubliable du grand Imam Khomeiny.
L’Amérique et l’Otan, prétextant vouloir combattre l’infâme dictateur Kadhafi, ont bombardé le peuple libyen des mois durant. Juste avant que le peuple libyen se soulève courageusement contre Kadhafi, ce même Kadhafi n’était-il pas l’ami proche des membres de l\'Otan et de l\'Amérique, celui que ces derniers serraient dans les bras, embrassaient, celui dont ils baisaient la main, pour le flatter et mieux piller les richesses de la Libye ?... Après le soulèvement, n’ont-ils pas détruit toutes les infrastructures de la Libye, soi-disant pour combattre Kadhafi ? Quel gouvernement a pu empêcher l\'Otan de massacrer la population et de détruire les villes ?
Tant que les dents et les griffes de ces puissances sanguinaires et sauvages occidentales ne sont pas brisées, de tels dangers persisteront pour les pays musulmans. La libération ne peut être obtenue qu\'avec la création d’un bloc islamique puissant dans le monde.
L’Occident, l’Amérique et le sionisme sont de nos jours plus affaiblis que jamais. Des difficultés économiques, des échecs successifs en Afghanistan et en Irak, les importants mouvements de contestation, s\'étendant quotidiennement, qui secouent l\'Amérique et les autres pays occidentaux, le combat et les sacrifices des peuples palestiniens et libanais, les soulèvements courageux des populations au Yémen, en Bahreïn et en d’autres pays contre le joug américain, tous ces évènements sont de bonnes nouvelles pour le futur de l’Umma islamique, notamment pour les pays musulmans en révolution. Les croyantes et les croyants, partout dans le monde musulman, en particulier en Egypte, en Tunisie et en Libye, doivent intelligemment mettre à profit cette occasion, dans l’objectif de créer une puissance internationale islamique. L’élite et l’avant-garde de ces mouvements doivent se confier à Dieu et avoir confiance en Ses promesses de victoire, afin d’orner ce chapitre glorieux de l’histoire de l’Umma islamique par de nouvelles et définitives victoires qui satisferont Dieu et seront le prélude à Son triomphe éternel.

[FARSI] Vali Amr Muslimeen Ayatullah Ali Khamenei - HAJJ Message 2011
بسماللهالرحمنالرحیم
الحمدلله رب العالمین و صلوات الله و تحیاته علی سیدالانام محمدٍ المصطفی و آله...
بسماللهالرحمنالرحیم
الحمدلله رب العالمین و صلوات الله و تحیاته علی سیدالانام محمدٍ المصطفی و آله الطیبین و صحبه المنتجبین.
اکنون بهار حج، با طراوت و صفای معنوی و شکوه و حشمت خداداد، فرا رسیده و دلهای مؤمن و مشتاق را پروانه وار بر گرد کعبهی توحید و وحدت، به پرواز درآورده است. مکه و منا و مشعر و عرفات، منزلگاه انسانهای خوشبختی است که به ندای: \" و اذّن فی الناس بالحج .. \" پاسخ گفته و به حضور در میهمانی خدای غفور و کریم سرافراز گشتهاند. اینجا همان خانهی مبارک و کانون هدایتی است که آیاتٍ بیّنات الهی از آن ساطع و چتر امان برفراز سر همگان در آن گسترده است.
دل را در زمزم صفا و ذکر و خشوع، شستشو دهید؛ چشم باطن را به آیات روشن حضرت حق بگشائید؛ به اخلاص و تسلیم که نشانهی عبودیت حقیقی است روی آورید؛ خاطرهی آن پدری را که با طوع و تسليم، اسماعيلش را به قربانگاه برد بارها و بارها در دل زنده كنيد، و بدينگونه راه روشن و آشكاري را كه براي رسيدن به دوستي ربّ جليل در برابر ما گشوده است، بشناسيد و قدم نهادن در آن را به همّت مؤمنانه و نيت صادقانهي خود، بسپاريد.
مقام ابراهيم يكي از همان آيات بيّنات است. جاي پاي ابراهيم عليهالسلام در كنار كعبهي شريف، تنها نمادي از مقام ابراهيم است. مقام ابراهيم، مقام اخلاص و گذشت و ايثار اوست؛ مقام ايستادگي او در برابر خواست نفساني و عواطف پدرانه و نيز در برابر سيطرهي كفر و شرك و سلطهي نمرود زمانه است.
اين هر دو راه نجات هم اكنون در برابر يكايك ما آحاد امت اسلامي، گشوده است. همت و شجاعت و عزم راسخ هريك از ما ميتواند ما را روانه به سوي همان هدفهائي سازد كه پيامآوران رسالت الهي از آدم تا خاتم، بشر را به سوي آن فراخوانده و وعدهي عزت و سعادت در دنيا وآخرت را به رهپويان آن دادهاند.
در اين محضر عظيمِ امت اسلامي، شايسته است كه حجگزاران به مهمترين مسائل جهان اسلام بپردازند. اكنون در رأس همهي اين مسائل، قيام و انقلاب در برخي كشورهاي مهم اسلامي است. در ميانهي حجّ سال گذشته و حج امسال، حوادثي در دنياي اسلام پديد آمده است كه ميتواند سرنوشت امت اسلامي را دگرگون ساخته و آيندهئي درخشان و سرشار از عزت و پيشرفت مادي و معنوي را نويد دهد. در مصر و تونس و ليبي طاغوتهاي ديكتاتور و فاسد و وابسته، از سرير قدرت سرنگون شدهاند و در برخي کشورهای ديگر امواج پرخروش قيام مردمي، كاخهاي زر و زور را به ويراني و نابودي تهديد ميكند.
اين صفحهي تازه گشوده از تاريخ امت ما، حقايقي را آشكار ميسازد كه همه از آيات بينات الهي است و به ما درسهاي حياتبخش ميدهد. اين حقايق بايد در همهي محاسبات ملتهاي مسلمان به كار گرفته شود.
نخست آنكه اكنون از دل ملتهائي كه دهها سال در سيطرهي سياسي بيگانگان بودهاند، نسل جواني سربرآورده است كه با اعتماد به نفس تحسين برانگيز به استقبال خطر رفته و به روياروئي با قدرتهاي مسلّط برخاسته و همت به دگرگونسازيِ وضعيت گماشته است.
ديگر آنكه به رغم تسلط و تلاش حاكمان سكولار و تلاشهاي پيدا و پنهان آنان براي دينزدائي در اين كشورها، اسلام، با نفوذ و حضوري نمايان و پرشكوه، هدايتگر دلها و زبانها گشته و چون چشمهاي جوشان در گفتار و كردار تودههاي ميليوني، به اجتماعات و رفتارهاي آنان طراوت و حيات بخشيده است. ماذنهها و مصلاّها و تكبيرها و شعارهاي اسلامي، نشانهي آشكاري از اين حقيقت و انتخابات اخير تونس برهان قاطعي بر اين مدعا است. بيگمان انتخابات آزاد در هر كشور اسلامي ديگر هم نتيجهئي جز آنچه در تونس پيش آمد، نخواهد داشت.
ديگر آنكه در حوادث اين يك سال، به همه نشان داده شد كه خداوند عزيز و قدير، در عزم و ارادهي ملتها، آن چنان قدرتي تعبيه كرده است كه هيچ قدرت دیگر را ياراي مقاومت در برابر آن نيست. ملتها با اين نيروي خداداد، قادرند سرنوشت خويش را تغيير دهند و نصرت الهي را نصيب خود سازند.
ديگر آنكه دولتهاي مستكبر و در رأس آنان امريكا، كه در طول دهها سال با ترفندهاي سياسي و امنيتي، دولتهاي منطقه را سر به فرمان خود ساخته و به پندار خود، جادهي بي مانعي براي سيطرهي روزافزون اقتصادي و فرهنگي و سياسي بر اين بخش حساس جهان، پديد آورده بودند، اكنون نخستين آماج بيزاري و نفرت ملتهاي اين منطقهاند. اطمينان بايد داشت كه نظامهاي برآمده از اين انقلابها هرگز به نامعادلهي خفتبار پيشين تن نخواهند داد و جغرافياي سياسي اين منطقه به دست ملتها و در جهت عزت و استقلال كامل آنان رقم خواهد خورد.
ديگر آنكه طبيعت مزوّر و منافقِ قدرتهاي غربي، براي مردم اين كشورها آشكار شد. در مصر و تونس و ليبي – هركدام به نوعي- آمريكا و اروپا تا توانستند در نگهداري از مهرههاي خود كوشيدند و هنگامي كه عزم ملتها برخواست آنان فائق آمد، به روي مردم پيروز لبخند مزورانهي دوستي زدند.
حقايق گرانبها و آيات بينات الهي در حوادث يكسال اخير در اين منطقه بيش از اينها است و براي اهل تدبر، ديدن و شناختن آن دشوار نيست.
ليكن با اين همه، امروز همهي امت اسلامي و بويژه ملتهاي به پاخواسته، نيازمند دو عنصر اساسياند:
نخست: تداوم ايستادگي و پرهيز شديد از سست شدن عزم راسخ. فرمان الهي به پيامبر اعظم صلياللهعليهوآلهوسلم در قرآن چنين است: \" فاستقم كما امرت و من تاب معك و لاتطغوا \" و \" فلذلك فادع و استقم كما امرت\" و نيز از زبان حضرت موسي عليهالسلام : \" و قال موسي لقومه استعينوا بالله و اصبروا، ان الارض لله يورثها من يشاء من عباده و العاقبه للمتقين\"
مصداق بزرگ تقوا در اين دوره براي ملتهاي به پاخاسته، آن است كه حركت مبارك خود را متوقف نسازند و خود را سرگرم دستآوردهاي اين مقطع نكنند. اين است بخش مهم از تقوائي كه دارندگان آن، به وعدهي \" عاقبتِ نيك\" سرافراز گشتهاند.
دوم: هشياري در برابر حيلههاي مستكبران بينالمللي و قدرتهائي كه از اين قيامها و انقلابها لطمه ديدهاند. آنها بيكار نميمانند و با همهي توان سياسي و امنيتی و مالي، براي برقراريِ دوبارهي نفوذ و قدرت خود در اين كشورها به ميدان ميآيند. ابزار آنان، تطميع و تهديد و فريب است. تجربهها نشان داده است كه درميان خواص، هستند كساني كه اين ابزارها در آنان كارگر ميشود و ترس و طمع و غفلت، آنان را دانسته يا ندانسته به خدمت دشمن درميآورد. چشم بيدار جوانان و روشنفكران و عالمان ديني بايد به دقت مراقبت كند.
مهمترين خطر، دخالت و تأثيرگذاريِ جبههي كفر و استكبار در ساخت نظام جديد سياسي در اين كشورها است. آنان همهي كوشش خود را به كار خواهند برد تا نظامهاي جديد، هويت اسلامي و مردمي نيابد. همهي دلسوزان در اين كشورها و همه آنان كه به عزت و كرامت و پيشرفت كشور خود دلبستهاند بايد تلاش كنند تا اسلاميت و مردمي بودن نظام نوين، به تمام و كمال تامين شود. نقش قانون اساسيها در اين ميان، برجسته است. اتحاد ملي و به رسميت شناختنِ دگرسانيهاي مذهبي، قبيلهئي و نژادي، شرط پيروزيهاي آينده است.
ملتهاي شجاع و به پاخاسته در مصر و تونس و ليبي و ديگر ملتهاي بيدار و مبارز بدانند، نجات آنان از ظلم و كيد آمريكا و ديگر مستكبران غربي تنها و تنها در آن است كه تعادل قوا در جهان به نفع آنان برقرار شود. مسلمانان براي اينكه بتوانند مسائل خود را به صورت جدّي با جهانخواران حل كنند بايد خود را به مرز قدرت بزرگ جهانی برسانند، و اين جز با همكاري و همدلي و اتحاد كشورهاي اسلامي به دست نخواهد آمد. اين وصيت فراموش نشدني امام خميني عظيم است. امريكا و ناتو به بهانهي قذافي خبيث و ديكتاتور، ماهها بر سر ليبي و مردم آن آتش ريختند. و قذافي همان كسي بود كه پيش از قيام شجاعانهي ملت ليبي درشمار دوستان نزديك آنان بشمار می رفت، او را در آغوش ميگرفتند؛ با دست او از ثروت ليبي ميدزديدند و براي خام كردن او دستش را ميفشردند يا ميبوسيدند .. پس از قيام مردم، همين او را بهانه كردند و تمام زيرساختهاي ليبي را به ويراني كشاندند. كدام دولت توانست از فاجعهي كشتار مردم و ويراني كشور ليبي به دست ناتو جلوگيري كند؟ تا چنگ و دندان قدرتهاي خونخوار و وحشي غربي شكسته نشود هميشه چنين خطرهائي براي كشورهاي اسلامي متصور است و نجات از آن جز با تشكيل قطب قدرتمند جهان اسلام، ميسر نيست.
غرب و امريكا و صهيونيزم امروز از هميشه ضعيفترند. گرفتاريهاي اقتصادي، ناكاميهاي پيدرپي در افغانستان و عراق، اعتراضهاي عميق مردمي در امريكا و ديگر كشورهاي غربي كه دامنهي آن روز بروز گستردهتر شده است، مبارزات و جانفشانيهاي مردم فلسطين و لبنان، قيامهاي دليرانهي مردم در يمن و بحرين و برخي ديگر از كشورهاي زير نفوذ امريكا، همه و همه حامل بشارتهاي بزرگي براي امت اسلامي و بويژه كشورهاي انقلابي جديد است. مردان و زنان مؤمن در سراسر جهان اسلام و بويژه در مصر و تونس و ليبي از اين فرصت براي تشكيل قدرت بينالملل اسلامي بيشترين بهره را ببرند. خواص و پيشروان نهضتها به خداي بزرگ توكل و به وعدهي نصرت او اعتماد كنند و صفحهي تازه گشودهي تاريخ امت اسلامي را با افتخارات ماندگار خود كه مايهي رضاي الهي و زمينهساز نصرت اوست مزين سازند.

الحمد لله رب العالمين و صلوات الله و تحياته علي سيد الانام محمد المصطفي و آله الطيبين و صحبه المنتجبين
Musim semi haji sudah tiba dengan kesegaran dan suasana spritual dan kecemerlangan dari Allah SWT, dan hati orang-orang beriman dengan keinginan yang amat besar akan terbang disekitar Ka\'bah ketuhanan dan kesatuan. Mekkah, Mina, Mash\'ar dan Arafat merupakan tempat para manusia beruntung yang merespon suara :
((و اذن في الناس بالحج ...))
berarti ajaklah manusia untuk pergi haji, dan hadir di jamuan Allah yang maha pengampun. Tempat suci ini adalah rumah keselamatan dan pusat hidayah yang ayat-ayat ilahi bersinar padanya dan payung perlindungan juga diperluas di atas kepala semua.
Bersihkan hati anda semua di dalam Zamzam Safa, zikir dan rendah hati; bukalah mata batin dengan ayat-ayat terang Allah; pilihlah ikhlas dan berserah diri yang merupakan tanda pengabdian hakiki; ulangilah berkali-kali cerita seorang ayah yang membawa anaknya Ismail ke tempat korban, dan kemudian mengenal jalan cerah dan terang yang telah dibuka untuk mencintai Allah yang Maha Kuasa, dan masuklah ke dalam jalan itu dengan usaha dan keinginan beriman dan niat jujur.
Magom Ibrahim adalah salah satu dari ayat-ayat tersebut. Tempat kaki Ibrahim a.s. di samping Ka\'bah suci merupakan satu satunya tanda magom Ibrahim. Magom Ibrahim adalah tempat ikhlas, ampunan dan pengorbanan; tempat istigomah terhadap keinginan hawa nafsu dan kecintaan ayah terhadap anaknya dan juga terhadap kekuasaan kafir dan syirik dan kekuatan namrud masa.
Dua jalan penyelamat ini sekarang terbuka di hadapan kita seluruh umat islam. Usaha, keberanian dan keinginan yang kuat dari kita semua dapat mengarahkan kita ke sasaran dan tujuan yang dibimbing oleh para Nabi mulai dari Adam sampai dengan Nabi Terakhir dan menjanjikan kemuliaan dan keberuntungan untuk para pengikut mereka.
Di hadapan Umat Islam yang amat mulia ini, sebaiknya para jamaah haji memperhatikan maslah-masalah penting dunia islam. Sekarang masalah yang paling pokok adalah kerusuhan dan revolusi di berbagai negara islam. Selama musim haji tahun lalu dan tahun ini terjadi beberapa kejadian di dunia Islam dimana kejadian-kejadian tersebut dapat merubah nasib umat islam dan menyampaikan kabar gembira tentang masa depan yang cemerlang, penuh kemuliaan, kemajuan material dan spritual. Di Mesir, Tunisia dan Libya, para diktator bejat yang mempunyai ketergantungan sudah jatuh dari takhta kekuasaan dan di beberapa negara islam lain juga gelombang-gelombang kerusuhan rakyat mengancam istana-istana kekuatan dan kekayaan mereka.
Lembaran baru sejarah umat ini telah terbuka, menyampaikan kebenaran tentang ayat-ayat terang ilahiah yang memberikan pelajaran-pelajaran yang sangat berharga. Kebenaran-kebenaran tersebut harus diimplementasikan dalam seluruh masalah bangsa-bangsa muslim.
Pertama, kini di tengah bangsa-bangsa yang sudah puluhan tahun berada di bawah kekuasaan asing, hidup suatu generasi muda yang mengambil resiko dengan penuh percaya diri dalam menghadapi para adi daya dan kemudian mulai berani berusaha merubah situasi.
Hal lain adalah bahwa meskipun adanya para penguasa sekular, dan usaha mereka untuk menghapuskan agama di Negara-negara tersebut, islam dengan pengaruhnya memberikan kecemerlangannya, seperti mata air segar dalam ucapan, perkataan dan perbuatan tumpukan-tumpukan manusia, telah mampu menjadi pembimbing hati dan lisan di Negara-negara tersebut, dan juga menghayati komunitas-komunitas dan perilaku mereka. Tempat-tempat adzan, mushala-mushala, takbir-takbir dan slogan-slogan islami adalah tanda terang dari kebenaran tersebut dan juga pemilihan umum akhir-akhir ini di Tunisia merupakan argumentasi sekaligus jawaban terhadap tuntutan tersebut. Tanpa keraguan, pemilihan umum yang bebas di setiap Negara Islam bisa menghasilkan layaknya demikian sebagaimana yang dihasilkan di Tunisia.
Satu hal lagi adalah bahwa dalam kejadian satu tahun terakhir ini, telah ditunjukkan bahwa Allah yang maha kuasa memberikan kekuasaan kepada bangsa-bangsa sehingga tak seorangpun dapat menghalanginya. Bangsa-bangsa itu dengan kekuatan ilahi mampu merubah nasib mereka sendiri untuk mencapai kemenangan ilahi.
Pemerintahan-pemerintahan adidaya khususnya Amerika Serikat, yang selama puluhan tahun dengan kebijakan politik dan militernya, mengabdikan negara-negara kawasan dan melakukan penjajahan ekonomi, budaya dan politik terhadap bagian sensitif dari dunia ini, kini dibenci oleh bangsa-bangsa kawasan tersebut. Kita harus yakin bahwa sistem-sistem baru hasil revolusi-revolusi ini tidak akan menjadi seperti sistem-sistem sebelumnya dan peta politik kawasan ini akan dibentuk dan digambarkan oleh bangsa mereka sendiri dengan orientasi kemuliaan dan kemerdekaan penuh mereka.
Hal lain adalah bahwa ciri munafik para adidaya barat telah dikenal oleh masyarakat negara-negara kawasan. Amerika Serikat dan Eropa dalam kasus Mesir, Tunisia dan Libya berusaha mendukung oknum-oknum mereka sendiri dan ketika bangsa-bangsa itu sudah berhasil, maka para adidaya itu memperlihatkan diri dengan kebohongan sebagai teman dan sahabat bangsa-bangsa yang sudah menghasilkan kemenangan itu.
kebenaran-kebenaran berharga dan ayat-ayat terang ilahiah, hasil kejadian-kejadian setahun terakhir di kawasan ini adalah lebih dari yang sudah dijelaskan dan orang-orang ahli siasat dapat melihat dan memahami kebenaran-kebenaran tersebut.
Akan tetapi kini seluruh umat islam, khususnya bangsa-bangsa yang sudah bangkit, memerlukan dua unsur pokok:
Pertama, melanjutkan untuk tetap istiqamah dan menghindari melemahnya keinginan. Berdasarkan firman Allah SWT kepada Nabi Muhammad SAW:
((فاستقم كما امرت و من تاب معك و لا تطغوا))
و ((فلذلك فادع واستقم كما امرت))
, dan juga dari lisan Nabi Musa a.s. :
((و قال موسي لقومه استعينوا بالله واصبرو، ان الارض لله يورثها من يشاء من عباده و العاقبه للمتقين))
Ketaqwaan terbesar untuk bangsa-bangsa yang sudah bangkit adalah bahwa jangan sampai terhentikan, dan jangan terbuai dengan keberhasilan-keberhasilan sementara yang telah diperoleh selama ini. Ini adalah bagian terpenting dari ketaqwaan yang telah Allah SWT anugerahkan yaitu masa depan yang cemerlang.
Kedua, kesadaran terhadap tipu-daya para negara adidaya-adikuasa sombong yang telah mengalami kerugian karena pemberontakan dan revolusi tersebut. Mereka tidak akan pernah diam dan dengan kekuatan politik, militer dan keuangannya akan memulai mempengaruhi negara-negara itu. Modal ataupun alat yang mereka gunakan adalah menyuap, mengancam dan menipu. Berdasarkan pengalaman, di antara orang-orang elit juga ada yang mudah ditipu dan disuap sehingga mereka mau tidak mau melayani musuh karena ketakutan, kerakusan dan jebakan. Oleh karena itu, para pemuda, para cendekiawan dan ulama harus lebih sadar.
Resiko yang amat berbahaya adalah campur tangan dan pengaruh barisan kafir dan sombong dalam pembentukan sisem politik baru di negara-negara ini. Mereka akan berusaha keras sehingga sistem-sistem baru itu tidak dibentuk berdasarkan identitas islami dan rakyat. Orang-orang yang menyukai negaranya dan memikirkan kemuliaan, harkat dan martabat dan kemajuan negaranya harus berusaha keras agar sistem-sistem baru ini dibentuk penuh berdasarkan keislaman dan kerakyatan. Peranan undang-undang dasar mereka itu adalah sangat penting. Persatuan nasional dan pengakuan agama, suku dan etnis di negaranya adalah syarat kemenangan mereka di masa depan.
Bangsa-bangsa berani yang telah berusaha bangkit di Mesir, Tunisia dan Libya dan bangsa-bangsa pejuang lainnya harus mengetahui bahwa satu satunya jalan penyelamat dari kezaliman dan tipuan Amerika Serikat dan para adi daya sombong itu adalah terwujudnya keseimbangan kekuasaan di dunia sesuai dengan kepentingan mereka. Jika para muslim ingin menyelesaikan permasalahannya dengan para adikuasa dunia harus menjadi sebagai negara besar dari segi kekuasaan, dan hal tersebut tidak dapat tercapai kecuali dengan kerja sama, persahabatan dan persatuan negara-negara islam. Ini merupakan wasiat Imam Khomeini, yang tak dapat terlupakan. Amerika Serikat dan NATO hanya dengan alasan mencari khadafi sang diktator kotor Libya itu, mengebom Libya dan rakyatnya selama beberapa bulan. Khadafi adalah seorang yang, sebelum revolusi bangsa Libya, merupakan sahabat Amerika Serikat dan NATO, mereka memeluknya, mencuri kekayaan Libya dengan berpura-pura mencium tanggannya. Setelah terjadinya revolusi, mereka dengan alasan mencari khadafi, menghancurkan semua infrastruktur Libya. Negara mana yang dapat mencegah pembunuhan massa dan kerusakan Libya oleh NATO? Jika tangan para adidaya barat yang begitu kejam tidak dipotong, lalu kita selalu akan melihat ancaman-ancaman itu terhadap negara-negara islam dan keluar dari ancaman tersebut tidak dapat terwujud kecuali membentuk kubu kuat dunia islam.
Kini barat, Amerika Serikat dan Zionis lebih lemah dibandingkan dengan sebelumnya. Banyak permasalahan ekonomi, kekalahan terus menerus di Afghanistan dan Irak, demonstrasi besar besaran masyarat Amerika Serikat dan negara-negara barat lain yang semakin hari semakin tersebar, perjuangan masyarakat Palestina dan Lebanon, revolusi dengan penuh keberanian masyarakat Yaman, Bahrain dan berbagai negara lain di bawah pengaruh Amerika Serikat, semuanya merupakan kabar gembir untuk umat islam khususnya negara-negara revolusioner baru. Ibu-ibu dan bapak-bapak yang beriman di seluruh dunia khususnya di Mesir, Tunisia dan Libya harus lebih memanfaatkan kesempatan ini dengan tujuan pembentukan kekuasaan internasional islami. Orang-orang elite dan juga para garis depan revolusioner itu sebaiknya berserah diri kepada Allah SWT dan percaya pada janji kemenangannya dan juga menghiasi lembaran baru sejarah umat islam ini dengan perbuatan-perbuatan yang terpuji yang diridhai oleh Allah SWT dan menjadi lingkup kemenanganNya.

Pesan Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei

1432 Hijriah
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
الحمد لله رب العالمين و صلوات الله و تحياته علي سيد الانام محمد المصطفي و آله الطيبين و صحبه المنتجبين
Musim semi haji sudah tiba dengan kesegaran dan suasana spritual dan kecemerlangan dari Allah SWT, dan hati orang-orang beriman dengan keinginan yang amat besar akan terbang disekitar Ka\'bah ketuhanan dan kesatuan. Mekkah, Mina, Mash\'ar dan Arafat merupakan tempat para manusia beruntung yang merespon suara :
((و اذن في الناس بالحج ...))
berarti ajaklah manusia untuk pergi haji, dan hadir di jamuan Allah yang maha pengampun. Tempat suci ini adalah rumah keselamatan dan pusat hidayah yang ayat-ayat ilahi bersinar padanya dan payung perlindungan juga diperluas di atas kepala semua.
Bersihkan hati anda semua di dalam Zamzam Safa, zikir dan rendah hati; bukalah mata batin dengan ayat-ayat terang Allah; pilihlah ikhlas dan berserah diri yang merupakan tanda pengabdian hakiki; ulangilah berkali-kali cerita seorang ayah yang membawa anaknya Ismail ke tempat korban, dan kemudian mengenal jalan cerah dan terang yang telah dibuka untuk mencintai Allah yang Maha Kuasa, dan masuklah ke dalam jalan itu dengan usaha dan keinginan beriman dan niat jujur.

AYATULLAH KHAMENAEI’S MESSAGE
TO HAJJ PILGRIMS – 2011/1432A.H.
In the Name of Allah, the
All-Beneficent, the All-Merciful
All praise belongs to Allah, the Lord of the worlds, and may divine blessings and greetings be to the Master of the creatures, Muhammad al-Mustafa and his immaculate family and his elect companions.
The spiritual spring of Hajj has arrived with its freshness, purity and God-given grandeur and majesty, gathering again the faithful and eager hearts like butterflies encircling the Ka’bah of Divine Monotheism and Islamic Unity. Camped at Makkah and Mina, Arafat and Mash´ar are the fortunate human beings who, having responded to the call of (وَأَذِّن فِي النَّاسِ بِالْحَجِّ): (22:27) “proclaim the Hajj to all the people”, are being honored with the hospitality of the Clement and Munificent Lord. Here is the blessed House and the source of guidance from which the enlightening Divine signs radiated and the canopy of safety was set up to cast its universal shade.
Wash your hearts in the Zamzam of piety, humility and God’s remembrance. Open the inner eye to the lights of the Divine signs. Embrace the spirit of submission and dedication, which are the hallmarks of true servant-hood. Keep on refreshing in your hearts the memory of that patriarch who, in willing compliance, led his Ishmael (Ismâeil) to the scene of sacrifice, thus showing us the clear path of attaining the friendship of the Glorious Lord and the manner of traversing it with a resolve infused with faith and an intent imbued with sincerity.
The station of prophet Abraham (Ibrâhim) is one among these clarifying signs. The footprint by the side of Holy Ka’bah of prophet Ibrâhim, may Peace be upon him, is only a symbol of the station of Ibrâhim. The station of Ibrâhim is his station of dedication and self-sacrifice, his fortitude and resistance to personal desires and fatherly feelings as well as against the domination of unfaith, polytheism and Nimrod, the tyrant of the time.
Today these two paths of deliverance lie open before each of us, individuals belonging to the Muslim Ummah. Determination, courage and firmness of resolve on part of each one of us can advance us towards the same goals to which mankind have been invited by the Divine envoys from Adam to the Seal of the Prophets, with the promise of dignity and felicity, in this world and in the Hereafter, for those who take this path.
It will be worthy of the Hajj pilgrims’ attention at this great assembly of the Islamic Ummah to address the most important issues of the Islamic world. The uprisings and revolutions in some important Islamic countries are at the head of these issues. The events that have taken place in the Islamic world in the period between the previous and present Hajj pilgrimages can change the destiny of the Islamic Ummah, and they forebode a bright future accompanied with dignity and progress, material and spiritual. Dictators and ‘corrupt’ taghoots, allied with foreign powers, have been overthrown in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya, and the stormy waves of popular uprising in some other countries threaten to bring down the castles of wealth and power.
This new chapter in the history of Our Ummah reveals certain facts which are all manifest Divine signs and give us vital lessons. These facts should be taken into account by Muslim nations in all their calculations.
First, a young generation has emerged from the hearts of these nations after decades of political subjugation to foreign powers, which with its admirable self-confidence, is ready to face threats, confront the dominant powers and is determined to change the status-quo.
Second, despite the authority and efforts of secular rulers and their overt and covert measures to curtail the influence of religion in these countries, Islam, with its conspicuous and impressive presence, has become the guiding principle of popular expression and sentiment. Like a fountainhead effusing through popular discourse and behavior it has given vitality and freshness to the rallies and activities of the millions. The mosques and minarets, Islamic slogans and calls of Allahu Akbar, all are clear indications of this fact and the recent Tunisian elections provide decisive evidence for this claim. There is no doubt that free elections in any Islamic country will hardly result in anything but what happened in Tunisia.
Moreover, as revealed for all by this year’s events, God Almighty has placed such a force in the resolve and determination of nations that no power whatsoever can withstand it. With this God-given power nations can change their destiny and partake of Divine help.
Furthermore, during the last decades arrogant powers, led by the United States, had reduced the regional states to a subjugate condition through their political and security tactics. They imagined to have opened an obstacle-free highway for their rising economic, cultural and political domination over this susceptible part of the world. But now they are the primary target of the disgust and hatred of the region’s nations. Undoubtedly, the regimes emerging from these revolutions will never submit to the disgraceful inequalities of the past, and the political geography of the region will be drawn by the nations in pursuance of their dignity and complete independence.
In addition, the crafty nature of the hypocritical Western powers has become all too apparent for the people of these countries. The U.S. and Europe made their utmost efforts to retain their pawns in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya, each of them in a particular way. But when their wishes had to give in before the resolve of the nations, they cast a wily friendly smile at the triumphant public.
There are further precious facts and manifest Divine signs embedded in the regional events of the past year, which are not hard to discern for reflective minds.
Nevertheless, the entire Islamic Ummah and especially the revolutionary nations stand in need of two basic elements:
First, the continuity of their stand and avoidance of slackness in resolve. In the Qur’an, the Divine summons to the Greatest Messenger, may God bless him and his family, are addressed in these words:
فَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَا أُمِرْتَ وَمَن تَابَ مَعَكَ وَلاَ تَطْغَوْا
“Be steadfast, just as you have been commanded—[by Allah] and whoever has turned [to God] with you—and do not overstep the bounds (11:112)” and (فَلِذَلِكَ فَادْعُ وَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَا أُمِرْتَ). “Be steadfast, just as you have been commanded (42:15).” The Prophet Moses, may peace be upon him, is quoted as telling his people:
(وقَالَ مُوسَى لِقَوْمِهِ اسْتَعِينُوا بِاللّهِ وَاصْبِرُواْ إِنَّ الأَرْضَ لِلّهِ يُورِثُهَا مَن يَشَاء مِنْ عِبَادِهِ وَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ)
“Turn to God for help and be patient. The earth indeed belongs to God, and He gives its inheritance to whomever He wishes of His servants, and the outcome will be in favor of the pious people. ” (7:128)
At the present, the most significant aspect of piety for the risen nations is not to halt in their auspicious movement, and not to let themselves be diverted by the achievements of this phase. This is the important part of the piety whose possessors are rewarded with the “favorable outcome.”
Second, careful awareness with regard to the plots and gimmicks of the arrogant international powers who have suffered a setback from these uprisings and revolutions. They evidently will not sit idle. They will reenter the arena with all their political, financial and security outfits to reestablish their influence and control in these countries. Their outfits are carrot and stick and deceit. Experience has shown there are some among the elite who are susceptible to these gimmicks. Fear, greed or negligence prompt them to serve the enemy. The vigilant eyes of the youth, intellectuals and religious scholars should be closely watchful.
The greatest threat posed by the Camp of Unfaith and arrogant powers lies in its intervention and influence over the structures of the new political systems in these countries. They will do their utmost to see that the new systems do not take on an Islamic and republic identity. All the concerned people in these countries and all those who cherish their homeland’s honor, dignity and progress should work to ensure the complete and perfect Islamic and republic character of the emergent polity. In this regard, the role of the constitutions will be significant. National unity and official recognition of sectarian, tribal and ethnic differences are a precondition of future success.
The valiant revolutionary nations of Egypt, Tunisia and Libya, as well as other awakened and combatant nations, should know that the sole means of deliverance from the oppression and guile of the United States and other Western hubristic powers is to establish a global balance of power conducive to their interests. The Muslims should bring themselves on a par with the great world powers in order to be able to reach a serious solution of their problems with the World-devourers. This cannot be achieved except with the cooperation, understanding and solidarity of Islamic countries. This was an unforgettable advice of the great Imam Khomeini.
For months on, the United States and NATO dropped bombs on the heads of the Libyan people making Gaddafi, a vicious dictator, an excuse. Gaddafi was someone who was considered their close friend before the valiant uprising of the Libyan people. They used to coddle him, steal the wealth of Libya through his hands and press or kiss his hand in order to dupe him. Following the people’s uprising, they made him an excuse to destroy the entire infrastructure of Libya. Which state could stop the tragic massacre of the Libyan people and destruction of the country at the hands of NATO? Until the claws and fangs of the bloodthirsty and barbaric Western powers are not broken, such dangers will remain conceivable for Islamic countries. Their safety from such dangers is not possible except by forming the Islamic world as a powerful pole.
Today the West, United States and Zionism are weaker than ever before. Economic troubles, successive failures in Afghanistan and Iraq, deep-running public outrage in America and other Western countries with its daily widening scope, the struggles and sacrifices of the people of Palestine and Lebanon, the daring popular uprisings in Yemen, Bahrain and some other countries under American influence—all these are significant portents for the Islamic Ummah, especially for the emergent revolutionary nations. Faithful men and women throughout the Islamic world, particularly in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya should make the most of this opportunity for the formation of an international Islamic power block. The vanguard and the elite of the uprisings should place their trust in Almighty God and, with reliance on His promise of help, adorn the new chapter in the history of the Islamic Ummah with their lasting achievements, thus earning God’s approval and fulfilling the prerequisites of His help
May Peace be upon God’s righteous servants!

Nevertheless, the entire Islamic Ummah and especially the revolutionary nations stand in need of two basic elements:
First, the continuity of their stand and avoidance of slackness in resolve. In the Qur’an, the Divine summons to the Greatest Messenger, may God bless him and his family, are addressed in these words:
فَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَا أُمِرْتَ وَمَن تَابَ مَعَكَ وَلاَ تَطْغَوْا
“Be steadfast, just as you have been commanded—[by Allah] and whoever has turned [to God] with you—and do not overstep the bounds (11:112)” and (فَلِذَلِكَ فَادْعُ وَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَا أُمِرْتَ). “Be steadfast, just as you have been commanded (42:15).” The Prophet Moses, may peace be upon him, is quoted as telling his people:
(وقَالَ مُوسَى لِقَوْمِهِ اسْتَعِينُوا بِاللّهِ وَاصْبِرُواْ إِنَّ الأَرْضَ لِلّهِ يُورِثُهَا مَن يَشَاء مِنْ عِبَادِهِ وَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ)
“Turn to God for help and be patient. The earth indeed belongs to God, and He gives its inheritance to whomever He wishes of His servants, and the outcome will be in favor of the pious people. ” (7:128)
At the present, the most significant aspect of piety for the risen nations is not to halt in their auspicious movement, and not to let themselves be diverted by the achievements of this phase. This is the important part of the piety whose possessors are rewarded with the “favorable outcome.”
Second, careful awareness with regard to the plots and gimmicks of the arrogant international powers who have suffered a setback from these uprisings and revolutions. They evidently will not sit idle. They will reenter the arena with all their political, financial and security outfits to reestablish their influence and control in these countries. Their outfits are carrot and stick and deceit. Experience has shown there are some among the elite who are susceptible to these gimmicks. Fear, greed or negligence prompt them to serve the enemy. The vigilant eyes of the youth, intellectuals and religious scholars should be closely watchful.
The greatest threat posed by the Camp of Unfaith and arrogant powers lies in its intervention and influence over the structures of the new political systems in these countries. They will do their utmost to see that the new systems do not take on an Islamic and republic identity. All the concerned people in these countries and all those who cherish their homeland’s honor, dignity and progress should work to ensure the complete and perfect Islamic and republic character of the emergent polity. In this regard, the role of the constitutions will be significant. National unity and official recognition of sectarian, tribal and ethnic differences are a precondition of future success.
The valiant revolutionary nations of Egypt, Tunisia and Libya, as well as other awakened and combatant nations, should know that the sole means of deliverance from the oppression and guile of the United States and other Western hubristic powers is to establish a global balance of power conducive to their interests. The Muslims should bring themselves on a par with the great world powers in order to be able to reach a serious solution of their problems with the World-devourers. This cannot be achieved except with the cooperation, understanding and solidarity of Islamic countries. This was an unforgettable advice of the great Imam Khomeini.
For months on, the United States and NATO dropped bombs on the heads of the Libyan people making Gaddafi, a vicious dictator, an excuse. Gaddafi was someone who was considered their close friend before the valiant uprising of the Libyan people. They used to coddle him, steal the wealth of Libya through his hands and press or kiss his hand in order to dupe him. Following the people’s uprising, they made him an excuse to destroy the entire infrastructure of Libya. Which state could stop the tragic massacre of the Libyan people and destruction of the country at the hands of NATO? Until the claws and fangs of the bloodthirsty and barbaric Western powers are not broken, such dangers will remain conceivable for Islamic countries. Their safety from such dangers is not possible except by forming the Islamic world as a powerful pole.
Today the West, United States and Zionism are weaker than ever before. Economic troubles, successive failures in Afghanistan and Iraq, deep-running public outrage in America and other Western countries with its daily widening scope, the struggles and sacrifices of the people of Palestine and Lebanon, the daring popular uprisings in Yemen, Bahrain and some other countries under American influence—all these are significant portents for the Islamic Ummah, especially for the emergent revolutionary nations. Faithful men and women throughout the Islamic world, particularly in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya should make the most of this opportunity for the formation of an international Islamic power block. The vanguard and the elite of the uprisings should place their trust in Almighty God and, with reliance on His promise of help, adorn the new chapter in the history of the Islamic Ummah with their lasting achievements, thus earning God’s approval and fulfilling the prerequisites of His help
May Peace be upon God’s righteous servants!

الحمد لله ربّ العالمين وصلوات الله وتحياته على سيد الأنام محمد المصطفى وآله الطيبين وصحبه المنتجبين.
آ جکل حج کی بہار اپنی تمام تر روحانی شادابی و پاکیزگی اور خداداد حشمت و شکوہ کے ساتھ آ گئی ہے اور ایمان کے نور اور شوق کے زیور سے آراستہ دل، پروانوں کی طرح کعبہ توحید اور مرکز اتحاد کے گرد محو پرواز ہیں۔ مکہ،منا،مشعر اور عرفات خوش قسمت انسانوں کی منزل ہیں جنہوں نے ”واذن فی الناس بالحج“ کی پکار پر لبیک کہتے ہوئے خداوند غفور و کریم کے مہمان ہونے کی سعادت پائی ہے۔ یہ وہی مبارک مکان اور ہدایت کا سرچشمہ ہے کہ جہاں پر اللہ تعالی کی بین نشانیوں کو جلا بخشی گئی اور جہاں پر ہر ایک کے سر پر امن و امان کی چھتری قرار دی گئی۔
دلوں اور ذکر و خشوع کو زمزم میں پاک کریں۔ اپنی بصیرت کی آنکھ کو حضرت حق کی تابندہ آیات پر کھول دیں۔اخلاص و تسلیم پر جو کہ حقیقی عبودیت کی علامت ہیں ٹوٹ پڑیں۔ اس باپ کی یاد کوجو کمال تسلیم کے ساتھ اپنے اسماعیل کو قربانگاہ تک لے کر گئے،بار بار اپنے دل میں زندہ کیجئے۔ اس طرح وہ منور طریق جو کہ رب جلیل سے دوستی کے لئے ہمارے سامنے کھول دی گئی ہے اسے پہچانئے اورسچے مومن کے عزم اور نیت صادقانہ کے ساتھ اس پر قدم رکھیں۔
مقام ابراہیم انہیں آیات بینات میں سے ایک ہے۔ کعبہ شریف کے پاس ابراہیم علیہ السلام کی قدم گاہ مقام ابراہیم کی واحد نشانی ہے، مقام ابراہیم ان کے ایثار،اخلاص اور قربانی کا مقام ہے۔ نفسانی تقاضوں اور پدری جذبات کے سامنے اور کفر و شرک کے غلبے اور نمرود زمانہ کے تسلط کے آگے ڈٹ جانے کا مقام ہے۔ نجات کے یہ دونوں راستے امت اسلامی کے ہم سب افراد کے سامنے موجود ہیں۔ ہم میں سے ہر ایک کی جرات، بہادری اور محکم ارادہ ہمیں ان مقاصد کی طرف روانہ کر سکتا ہے جن کی طرف آدم سے خاتم تک تمام الہی پیغمبروں نے ہمیں دعوت دی ہے اور اس راستے پر چلنے والوں کو دنیا و آخرت میں عزت و سعادت کا وعدہ فرمایا ہے۔ امت مسلمہ کے اس عظیم محضر میں، شایستہ یہی ہے کہ حجاج کرام عالم اسلام کے اہم ترین مسائل پر توجہ دیں۔ ان بے شمار مسایل میں سے سرفہرست، بعض اسلامی ممالک میں برپا ہونے والا انقلاب اور عوامی قیام ہے۔ گذشتہ سال حج اور امسال حج کے درمیانی عرصہ میں عالم اسلام میں ایسے واقعات رونما ہوئے ہیں جو کہ امت مسلمہ کی تقدیر بدل سکتے ہیں اور مادی اور روحانی ترقی اور عزت و افتخار سے سرشار ایک روشن مستقبل کی نوید دے سکتے ہیں۔ مصر، تیونس اور لیبیامیں فاسد، محتاج اور ڈیکٹیٹر طاغوت، تخت اقتدار سے گر چکے ہیں جبکہ بعض دوسرے ممالک میں عوام کی ٹھاٹھیں مارتی لہروں نے زر و زور اور اقتدار کے محلات میں ویرانی اور تباہی کی گھنٹیاں بجا دی ہیں۔
ہماری امت کی تاریخ کے اس تازہ باب نے ایسے حقایق آشکار کئے ہیں جو کہ مکمل طور پر آیات بینات الہی ہیں اور ہمارے لئے حیات بخش سبق لئے ہوئے ہیں۔ ان حقایق کو اسلامی امہ کی تمام اقوام کے محاسبات میں استعمال میں لایا جانا چاہئے۔
سب سے پہلے یہ کہ جو اقوام کئی دھائیوں سے غیروں کے سیاسی تسلط میں رہ رہی تھیں ان کے اندر سے ایسی جوان نسل ظاہر ہوئی ہے جو اپنے اوپر محکم یقین اور تحسین بر انگیز جذبے کے ساتھ خطرات کو قبول کرتے ہوئے مسلط شدہ طاقتوں کے مقابلے پر کھڑی ہو کر اپنی تقدیر بدلنے پر کمر بستہ ہے۔
دوسرے یہ کہ سیکولر حکمرانوں کے تسلط کے باوجود اپنے ممالک میں دین کو محو کرنے کے لئے ان کی ظاہری اور خفیہ کوششوں کے با وصف، اسلام نے بھرپور اور پرشکوہ اثر و رسوخ کے ذریعے دلوں اور زبانوں کو نور ہدایت بخشی اور کروڑوں لوگوں کے گفتار و کردار کی صورت چشمہ جوشان کی طرح، ان کے رویوں اور اجتماعات کو رونق و شادابی عطا کی ہے۔ اذانیں، عبادات، اللہ اکبر کی صدائیں اور دوسرے اسلامی نعرے اور تیونس کے حالیہ انتخابات اس حقیقت کی واضع نشانی اور برھان قاطع ہیں۔ بلاشبہ اسلامی ممالک میں سے ہر ایک ملک میں غیرجانبدارانہ اور آزادانہ انتخابات کا نتیجہ وہی ہو گا جو تیونس میں سامنے آیا ہے۔
تیسرے یہ کہ اس ایک سال کے دوران پیش آنے والے واقعات نے سب پر یہ واضع کر دیا ہے کہ خدائے عزیز و قدیر نے اقوام کے عزم و ارادوں میں ایک ایسی طاقت رکھ دی ہے کہ کسی دوسری طاقت میں اس کا مقابلہ کرنے کی جرات اور سکت ہی نہیں ہے۔ اقوام اسی خداداد طاقت کے بل بوتے پر اپنی تقدیر کو بدل سکنے کی طاقت رکھتی ہیں اور اس طرح خدا کی نصرت کو اپنے شامل حال کر سکتی ہیں۔
چوتھے یہ کہ استکباری حکومتوں نے، جن میں سر فہرست امریکا ہے ، کئی دھائیوں سے مختلف سیاسی اور سیکورٹی کے ہتھکنڈوں کے ذریعے خطے میں موجود حکومتوں کو اپنا تابع فرمان اور اپنے نصایح کا پایبند بنا کر، دنیا کے اس حساس ترین خطے میں اپنے اقتصادی ،ثقافتی اور سیاسی تسلط کے لئے رکاوٹوں سے پاک وسیع شاہراہ بنا رکھی تھی ، اب اس خطے کی اقوام کی نفرت و بیزاری کی آماجگاہ بن چکی ہیں۔
ہمیں یہ اطمینان رکھنا چاہئے کہ ان عوامی انقلابوں کے نتیجے میں برقرارہونے والے نظام سابقہ ذلت آمیز غیرمتوازن رویوں کے سامنے تسلیم نہیں ہونگے اور اس خطے کی اقوام کے ہاتھوں سیاسی جغرافیہ ،عزت و استقلال کاملہ کی طرف تبدیل ہو جائے گا۔
اس کے علاوہ یہ کہ مغربی طاقتوں کا منافقانہ اور دھوکے بازی پر مبنی مزاج اس خطے کے عوام پر آشکار ہو چکا ہے۔ امریکا اور یورپ نے حتی الامکان مصر،تیونس اور لیبیا میں اپنے مہروں کو بچانے کیلئے زور لگایا اور جب عوام کا ارادہ ان کی خواہشات پر فایق آ گیا تب کامران عوام کے لئے دھوکے پر مبنی دوستی کی مسکراہٹ سجائی۔
اللہ تعالی کی روشن آیات اور بیش قیمت حقایق جو گذشتہ ایک سال کے عرصے میں اس خطے میں رونما ہوئے ہیں اس سے کہیں زیادہ ہیں اور صاحبان تدبر و بصیرت کے لئے ان کا مشاہدہ اور ادراک دشوار نہیں ہے۔لیکن اس سب کے باوجود تمام امت مسلمہ اور خصوصا قیام کرنے والی اقوام کو دو بنیادی عوامل کی ضرورت ہے:
پہلے: قیام میں تسلسل و تداوم اور محکم ارادوں میں نرمی سے شدید پرہیز۔ اللہ تعالی نے قرآن مجید میں اپنے پیغمبر صلی اللہ علیہ و آلہ وسلم کو یوں فرمایا ہے” فاستقم کما امرت و من تاب معک و لا تطغوا“ اور ” فلذلک فادع واستقم کما امرت“، اور حضرت موسی علیہ السلام کے بقول، ”وقال موسی لقومہ استعینوا باللہ و اصبروا، ان الارض للہ یورثھا من یشاءمن عبادہ والعاقبتہ للمتقین“، قیام کرنے والی اقوام کے لئے موجودہ زمانے میں تقوی کا سب سے بڑا مصداق یہ ہے کہ اپنی مبارک تحریک کو رکنے نہ دیں اور خود کو عارضی کامیابیوں کا شکار نہ ہونے دیں۔ یہ اس تقوی کا وہ اہم حصہ ہے جس کو اپنانے والے کے لئے عاقبت بخیر کی وعید عطا ہوئی ہے۔
دوسرے: بین الاقوامی مستکبرین اور ان عوامی انقلابوں سے چوٹ کھانے والی حکومتوں کے ہتھکنڈوں کے سامنے ہوشیار رہنا۔ وہ لوگ ہاتھ پر ہاتھ رکھ کر بیٹھ نہیں جائیں گے اور اپنے تمام تر سیاسی، سلامتی اور مالی وسایل کے ساتھ ان ممالک میں اپنے اثر و رسوخ اور طاقت کے دوبارہ تسلط کے لئے میدان میں اتریں گے۔ ان کا ہتھیار لالچ، دھمکی، فریب اور دھوکہ ہے۔ تجربے سے یہ ثابت ہوا ہے کہ خواص میں بعض ایسے لوگ بھی ہوتے ہیں جن پر یہ ہتھیار کارگر ثابت ہوتے ہیں اور خوف، لالچ اور غفلت انہیں شعوری یا لاشعوری طور پر دشمن کی خدمت میں لا کھڑا کرتے ہیں۔ جوانوں، روشنفکر دانشوروں اور علمائے دین کی بیدار آنکھیں پوری توجہ سے اس چیز کا خیال رکھیں۔
اہم ترین خطرہ ان ممالک میں برپا ہونے والے جدید سیاسی نظام کی ساخت و پرداز پر کفر و استکبار کے محاذکی مداخلت اور اس پر اثراندازی ہے۔ وہ اپنی تمام توانائیوں کو کام میں لاتے ہوئے کوشش کریں گے تاکہ نئے برپا ہونے والے نظام ،اسلامی اور عوامی تشخص سے خالی رہیں۔ ان ممالک کے تمام مخلص و ھمدرد حضرات اور وہ تمام افراد جو اپنے ملک کی عزت ، وقار اور تکریم کے لئے پر امید ہیں ان سب کو بھرپور کوشش کرنی چاہئے تا کہ نئے نظام میں اسلامی اور عوامی ہونا اپنے تمام تر مفہوم کے ساتھ جلوہ گر ہو۔ اس کے لئے آئین کا کردارسب سے نمایاں ہے ۔ قومی وحدت اور مذہبی قبایلی اور نسلی تنوع کو تسلیم کرنا، آیندہ کامیابیوں کی اہم شرط ہے۔
مصر، تیونس اور لیبیا اور دوسرے ممالک کی جراتمند، بہادر ،بیدار اور مجاہد اقوام کو یہ جان لینا چاہئے کہ ظلم، امریکی مکر و فریب اور دوسرے مغربی مستکبران سے انکی نجات کا صرف اور صرف یہ راستہ ہے کہ دنیا میں طاقت کا توازن انکے حق میں قائم ہو جائے۔ مسلمانوں کو اپنے تمام مسائل کو دنیا کے جہان خوروں کے ساتھ قطعی طور پر حل کرنے کے لئے یہ ضروری ہے کہ وہ اپنے آپ کو عالمی طاقت ہونے کی صف میں لاکھڑا کریں۔ یہ تب ہی ہو سکتا ہے جب عالم اسلام کے تمام ممالک باہمی تعاون اور یکجہتی کا مظاہرہ کریں۔ یہ ناقابل فراموش نصیحت امام خمینی ( رہ )عظیم کی ہے ۔
امریکا اور نیٹو، خبیث اور ڈکٹیٹر قذافی کے بہانے کئی ماہ تک لیبیا اور اس کے عوام پر آگ برساتے رہے ہیں۔جبکہ قذافی وہی شخص تھا جوکہ عوام کے جراتمند قیام سے پہلے ان کے نزدیک ترین دوستوں میں شمار ہوتا رہا۔ وہ اس سے گلے ملتے رہے اس کی مدد سے لیبیا کی دولت کو لوٹتے رہے اور اس کو مزید بہلانے کے لئے اس کے ہاتھ کو گرم جوشی سے دباتے تھے یا پھر اس پر بوسے دیتے تھے۔ عوام کے انقلاب کے بعد اسی کو بہانہ بنا کر لیبیا کا تمام تر بنیادی ڈھانچہ تباہ و برباد کر دیا۔ کون سی حکومت ہے جس نے نیٹو کو عوام کے قتل عام اور لیبیا کی تباہی جیسے المیے سے روکا ہو؟ جب تک مغربی وحشی اور خون خوار طاقتوں کے ہاتھ اور دانت توڑ نہ دئیے جائیں گے اس طرح کے خطرات اسلامی ممالک کو درپیش رہیں گے۔ ان خطرات سے نجات ما سوائے عالمی اسلامی بلاک بنانے کے ممکن نہیں ہے۔
مغرب، امریکا اور صیہونیت ہمیشہ کی نسبت آج سب سے زیادہ کمزور ہیں ۔ اقتصادی مسائل، افغانستان و عراق میں پے در پے ناکامیاں، امریکی اور دوسرے مغربی ممالک کے عوام کے شدید اعتراضات جو کہ روز بروز وسیع تر ہو رہے ہیں، فلسطین و لبنان کے عوام کی جان فشانیاں، یمن، بحرین اور بعض دوسرے امریکا کے زیر اثر ممالک کے عوام کا جراتمندانہ قیام، یہ سب کے سب امت مسلمہ اور بخصوص جدید انقلابی ممالک کے لئے بہت بڑی بشارت ہیں۔ پورے عالم اسلام اور خصوصا مصر، تیونس اور لیبیا کے تمام مومنین مرد و خواتین، بین الاقوامی اسلامی طاقت کے قیام کے لئے اس موقعہ سے زیادہ سے زیادہ فایدہ اٹھائیں۔ تحریکوں کے اکابرین خداوند بزرگ پر توکل اور اس کی نصرت و امداد کے وعدے پر بھروسہ کریں اور امت مسلمہ کی تاریخ کے اس جدید باب کو اپنے زندہ و جاوید افتخارات کے ساتھ، جو کہ رضائے الہی کا باعث اور اس کی نصرت و امداد کے لئے راہ ہمواری ہے زینت و آراستہ کریں۔

پہلے: قیام میں تسلسل و تداوم اور محکم ارادوں میں نرمی سے شدید پرہیز۔ اللہ تعالی نے قرآن مجید میں اپنے پیغمبر صلی اللہ علیہ و آلہ وسلم کو یوں فرمایا ہے” فاستقم کما امرت و من تاب معک و لا تطغوا“ اور ” فلذلک فادع واستقم کما امرت“، اور حضرت موسی علیہ السلام کے بقول، ”وقال موسی لقومہ استعینوا باللہ و اصبروا، ان الارض للہ یورثھا من یشاءمن عبادہ والعاقبتہ للمتقین“، قیام کرنے والی اقوام کے لئے موجودہ زمانے میں تقوی کا سب سے بڑا مصداق یہ ہے کہ اپنی مبارک تحریک کو رکنے نہ دیں اور خود کو عارضی کامیابیوں کا شکار نہ ہونے دیں۔ یہ اس تقوی کا وہ اہم حصہ ہے جس کو اپنانے والے کے لئے عاقبت بخیر کی وعید عطا ہوئی ہے۔

اہم ترین خطرہ ان ممالک میں برپا ہونے والے جدید سیاسی نظام کی ساخت و پرداز پر کفر و استکبار کے محاذکی مداخلت اور اس پر اثراندازی ہے۔ وہ اپنی تمام توانائیوں کو کام میں لاتے ہوئے کوشش کریں گے تاکہ نئے برپا ہونے والے نظام ،اسلامی اور عوامی تشخص سے خالی رہیں۔ ان ممالک کے تمام مخلص و ھمدرد حضرات اور وہ تمام افراد جو اپنے ملک کی عزت ، وقار اور تکریم کے لئے پر امید ہیں ان سب کو بھرپور کوشش کرنی چاہئے تا کہ نئے نظام میں اسلامی اور عوامی ہونا اپنے تمام تر مفہوم کے ساتھ جلوہ گر ہو۔ اس کے لئے آئین کا کردارسب سے نمایاں ہے ۔ قومی وحدت اور مذہبی قبایلی اور نسلی تنوع کو تسلیم کرنا، آیندہ کامیابیوں کی اہم شرط ہے۔

امریکا اور نیٹو، خبیث اور ڈکٹیٹر قذافی کے بہانے کئی ماہ تک لیبیا اور اس کے عوام پر آگ برساتے رہے ہیں۔جبکہ قذافی وہی شخص تھا جوکہ عوام کے جراتمند قیام سے پہلے ان کے نزدیک ترین دوستوں میں شمار ہوتا رہا۔ وہ اس سے گلے ملتے رہے اس کی مدد سے لیبیا کی دولت کو لوٹتے رہے اور اس کو مزید بہلانے کے لئے اس کے ہاتھ کو گرم جوشی سے دباتے تھے یا پھر اس پر بوسے دیتے تھے۔ عوام کے انقلاب کے بعد اسی کو بہانہ بنا کر لیبیا کا تمام تر بنیادی ڈھانچہ تباہ و برباد کر دیا۔ کون سی حکومت ہے جس نے نیٹو کو عوام کے قتل عام اور لیبیا کی تباہی جیسے المیے سے روکا ہو؟ جب تک مغربی وحشی اور خون خوار طاقتوں کے ہاتھ اور دانت توڑ نہ دئیے جائیں گے اس طرح کے خطرات اسلامی ممالک کو درپیش رہیں گے۔ ان خطرات سے نجات ما سوائے عالمی اسلامی بلاک بنانے کے ممکن نہیں ہے۔
مغرب، امریکا اور صیہونیت ہمیشہ کی نسبت آج سب سے زیادہ کمزور ہیں ۔ اقتصادی مسائل، افغانستان و عراق میں پے در پے ناکامیاں، امریکی اور دوسرے مغربی ممالک کے عوام کے شدید اعتراضات جو کہ روز بروز وسیع تر ہو رہے ہیں، فلسطین و لبنان کے عوام کی جان فشانیاں، یمن، بحرین اور بعض دوسرے امریکا کے زیر اثر ممالک کے عوام کا جراتمندانہ قیام، یہ سب کے سب امت مسلمہ اور بخصوص جدید انقلابی ممالک کے لئے بہت بڑی بشارت ہیں۔ پورے عالم اسلام اور خصوصا مصر، تیونس اور لیبیا کے تمام مومنین مرد و خواتین، بین الاقوامی اسلامی طاقت کے قیام کے لئے اس موقعہ سے زیادہ سے زیادہ فایدہ اٹھائیں۔ تحریکوں کے اکابرین خداوند بزرگ پر توکل اور اس کی نصرت و امداد کے وعدے پر بھروسہ کریں اور امت مسلمہ کی تاریخ کے اس جدید باب کو اپنے زندہ و جاوید افتخارات کے ساتھ، جو کہ رضائے الہی کا باعث اور اس کی نصرت و امداد کے لئے راہ ہمواری ہے زینت و آراستہ کریں۔

حضرت آیتالله خامنهای رهبر معظم انقلاب اسلامی، صبح روز 19 آبان 1390، در مراسم تحلیف و دانشآموختگی دانشجویان دانشگاههای افسری ارتش جمهوری اسلامی ایران در دانشگاه افسری امام علی(ع) در سخنان مهمی، نیروهای مسلح را مایه عزت ملت و كشور ایران و نوك پیكان استوار دفاع ملی دانستند و تأكید كردند: دشمنان بخصوص آمریكا و دستنشاندگانش و رژیم صهیونیستی بدانند، ملت ایران اهل تجاوز به هیچ كشور و ملتی نیست اما هرگونه تجاوز و حتی تهدید را با قدرت كامل و بگونهای پاسخ خواهد داد كه متعرضان و متجاوزان را از درون متلاشی كند.
فرمانده كل قوا افزودند: ملت استوار ایران، ملتی نیست كه فقط بنشیند و نظارهگر تهدیدهای قدرتهای پوشالی مادی باشد كه از درون كرمخورده هستند.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی خاطرنشان كردند: هركس كه فكر تجاوز به جمهوری اسلامی ایران، در مخیلهاش خطور كند، باید خود را آماده دریافت سیلیهای محكم و مشتهای پولادین ارتش، سپاه و بسیج و در یك كلام، ملت بزرگ ایران كند.
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای همه ملت ایران بویژه نیروهای مسلح را به حفظ آمادگی برای تداوم مسیر عزت ملی و اقتدار بینالمللی فراخواندند و تأكید كردند: ساخت مستحكم نظام جمهوری اسلامی و اتحاد ملی و نزدیكی دلهای آحاد ملت ایران، مهمترین قدرت بازدارنده است و همه موظف هستند این ساخت استوار و مستحكم نظام را حفظ كرده و به آن استحكام بیشتری ببخشند.
ایشان نیروهای مسلح را از لحاظ حضور در میدان علم و جهاد و همراه با معنویت و ایمان، مایه عزت خواندند و افزودند: آن كشور و ملتی كه بتواند ثابت كند آماده ایستادگی و دفاع جانانه برای استقلال، حفظ هویت، آرمانها و موجودیت خود است، همواره عزیز است.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی خاطرنشان كردند: در دنیایی كه متأسفانه هنوز ارتباط میان ملتها و كشورها براساس تكیه بر قدرت سرنیزه و اسلحه تعیین میشود و قلدران تلاش دارند با مشتهای پولادین سرنوشت ملتها را در دست بگیرند، آن ملتی از آسیب محفوظ خواهد بود كه آمادگی دفاعی خود را ثابت كند.
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای با اشاره به آمادگی دفاعی نیروهای مسلح از جمله ارتش، افزودند: این آمادگی دفاعی نیروهای مسلح در كنار دیانت و ایمان و تقوا، برای كشور و ملت ایران عزتآفرین است و باید آن را حفظ و تقویت كرد.
فرمانده كل قوا، دانشگاهای ارتش را كانون علم و جهاد خواندند و خاطرنشان كردند: نیروهای مسلح كشور كه دارای دانش و علم، و آمادگی مجاهدت مؤمنانه هستند، در منطقه و دنیا بینظیر است و چنین نیروهای مسلحی، نتیجهی همت بلند ملتی است كه عزم راسخ خود را برای برافراشتن پرچم ایمان، اسلام و دیانت بكار گرفته است.

Supreme Leader’s Speech at Imam Ali (a.s.) Military Academy
10/11/2011
The following is the full text of the speech delivered on November 10, 2011 by Ayatollah Khamenei the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution to a group of cadets in a graduation ceremony at Imam Ali (a.s.) Military Academy.
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
I would like to extend my congratulations to all the dear graduates of the military academies of the Islamic Republic of Iran and all the dear youth who have received epaulets and joined the ranks of the mujahids of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Army.
The fact that so many faithful and sincere youth – graduates and students – join the great Army and Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic is worthy of congratulating. In every one of my meetings with you faithful and pious youth, I thank Allah the Exalted from the bottom of my heart. You should also thank God for these great blessings.
Military academies of the Islamic Republic of Iran are the centers of knowledge and jihad. The scent of spirituality and piety in these academies keeps getting stronger on a daily basis. This is a cause for joy and happiness. These academies are active in terms of scientific work and they enjoy active students, good teachers and commanders who are also outstanding scientific figures. Moreover, the atmosphere of mujahid-like and pious preparedness, the war games, undergoing military training in the hot weather of summer during the month of Ramadan, the large number of cadets who fast once or more every week – these are things that are unprecedented not only in the Armed Forces of our country but also in the armed forces of the world of Islam. These things are the result of the firm determination of a nation that has been making efforts to raise the flag of faith, Islam and piety. Members of the Armed Forces – who study, undergo training, make efforts and prepare themselves for the sake of God and divine ideals and who enter the arena selflessly whenever there is an opportunity for selfless struggle and defense – are a source of power for Islam and Muslims. They are a source of power for the country.
You are powerful for two reasons. First, you spend the valuable days of your youth on acquiring knowledge and engaging in jihad with sincere spirituality and faith. This is power. “And to Allah belongs the might and to His Messenger and to the believers.” [The Holy Quran, 63: 8] Power belongs to God, His Messenger and believers. So you are considered among believers.
The second reason is that you are a source of power for your country and your nation. A nation that can prove it is prepared to resist and defend itself in order to have independence, preserve its identity and fight for its ideals and existence – such a nation is powerful. The power of such a nation is secretly acknowledged even by its enemies although they might not be prepared to announce this publicly because of being stubborn. You spearhead our national defense and today your power is acknowledged even by your enemies. Many of your enemies even acknowledge your power publicly.
Allah the Exalted says, “Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies of Allah.” [The Holy Quran, 8: 60] Your preparedness makes the enemy fearful: not fearful of your invasion because you are not aggressive, but fearful of your resistance and of attacking you. In a world in which reliance on the power of bayonets and weapons can unfortunately play a determining role in the relations between nations and countries, in a world in which there are bullies who decide to take control of the destiny of other nations with iron fists, in a world that is materialistic, only a nation that proves to be prepared for defense will be secure from harm. Our Armed Forces and the Army of the Islamic Republic proved this. This is power. This is a source of power for a country. It is necessary to preserve this preparedness. You should preserve all your material and spiritual assets. During your service and throughout your life, you should safeguard your piety, faith, motivation and spiritual purity as well as your firm determination to defend the country.
We are not a nation that attacks other countries and nations. We will never start a bloody war. The Iranian nation has proven this. But we are a nation that responds to all kinds of attack and even all kinds of threats with full force and determination. We are not a nation that stands by and watches the fragile materialist powers – which have been eaten by worms and termites from within – threaten the steadfast and powerful Iranian nation. We will answer threats with threats. Anybody who thinks of attacking the Islamic Republic of Iran should be prepared to receive strong slaps and iron fists from the Armed Forces, from the Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran, from the Islamic Revolution’s Guards Corps and from Basij: all supported by the great Iranian nation. And America, its regional puppets and its guard dog – the Zionist regime – should know that the response of the Iranian nation to any kind of aggression, attacks or even threats will be a response that will make them collapse from within.
Continue your preparedness to maintain this national and international power. We should all be ready. Everybody should remain prepared to preserve the high values which will be permanent throughout history. Everybody should remain prepared in the arena of knowledge, work, industry, management and politics. And the Armed Forces spearhead our national defense in the military arena.
We are confident that the greatest kind of deterrence is the firm structure of the Islamic Republic, our national unity and the closeness of the hearts of the Iranian people to each other. Everybody is responsible to preserve and strengthen this firm structure.
I pray to Allah the Exalted to bestow success, good fortune, dignity and glory on all you dear youth, your teachers, your commanders and all those who have played a role in creating this beautiful and glorious reality.
Greetings be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings.

The following is the full text of the speech delivered on November 10, 2011 by Ayatollah Khamenei the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution to a group of cadets in a graduation ceremony at Imam Ali (a.s.) Military Academy.
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

خداوند متعال را سپاسگزارم براى توفيق حضور در اين ديدار باشكوه و بسيار خوب. از برادران و خواهرانى كه در اطراف ميدان ايستادهاند، خواهش ميكنم بنشينند تا بتوانيم بحث كنيم.
امروز مقارن با اول محرم است. تناسبى هست ميان هويت و حقيقت بسيج با هويت محرم و عاشورا. بسيج افتخار دارد كه پيرو مكتب عاشوراست. البته عاشورا اوج فداكارى و ايثار است. همهى تاريخ، همهى عالم، مسئلهى عاشورا و حسينبنعلى (عليهالسّلام) و اصحاب وفادار او را با اين خصوصيت شناختهاند؛ فداكارى، ايثار در راه خدا و در راه تحقق اهداف الهى؛ ليكن مسئلهى عاشورا فقط اين نيست. بله، برجستهترين و نمايانترين خصوصيت عاشورا، همين فداكارى و شهادت است؛ ولى در ماجراى عاشورا حقايق ديگرى هم وجود دارد. از آغاز حركت از مدينه، بذر معرفت پاشيده شد - اين يكى از خصوصيات حادثهى عاشوراست - بذر بصيرت پاشيده شد. اگر مردمى، امتى از بصيرت برخوردار نباشند، حقايق گوناگون، كار آنها را اصلاح نخواهد كرد؛ گره از مشكلات آنها گشوده نخواهد شد. بنابراين اخلاص، موقعشناسى، پاشيدن بذر يك حركت فزايندهى تاريخى، از خصوصيات مهم عاشوراست. ماجرا فقط در ظهر عاشورا تمام نشد؛ در واقع از ظهر عاشورا يك جريانى در تاريخ شروع شد، كه همچنان رو به افزايش و گسترش است. بعد از اين هم همين خواهد بود. امام حسين (عليهالسّلام) براى اعلاى كلمهى حق و براى نجات خلق، همهى داشتههاى خود را به ميدان آورد. اين برخى از خصوصياتى است كه انسان به طور كلى در ماجراى عاشورا ميتواند ببيند و نشان بدهد.
بسيج، همين راه است؛ همين حركت است؛ همين هدفهاست؛ همين ابزارها و وسيلههاست. بسيج، جمع فداكارى از مردمند، براى مردم؛ تشكيل يك مجموعهاى در حركت عظيم يك ملت مجاهد. حضور در دفاع، حضور در علم، حضور در هنر، حضور در سازندگى، حضور در سياست، در فرهنگ، در كمك به مستضعفان، در كمك به درماندگان، در توليد، در فناورى، در پيشبرد مسائل گوناگون كشور، در ورزش، در درخششهاى بينالمللى، در هر كار خير؛ اين حركت بسيج است؛ حركتى مردمى، براى مردم، در دل مردم، از خود مردم، از همهى قشرها، زنان، مردان، جوانان، پيران، نوجوانان، از اصناف گوناگون؛ يعنى تشكيل يك مجموعهى حزبالله واقعى.
بسيج سياسى است، اما سياستزده نيست، سياسىكار نيست، جناحى نيست؛ بسيج مجاهد است، اما بىانضباط نيست، افراطى نيست؛ بسيج عميقاً متدين و متعبد است، اما متحجر نيست، خرافى نيست؛ بسيج بابصيرت است، اما ازخودراضى نيست؛ بسيج اهل جذب است - گفتهايم جذب حداكثرى - اما اهل تسامح در اصول نيست؛ بسيج غيور است، پاسدار خطوط فاصل است؛ بسيج طرفدار علم است، اما علمزده نيست؛ بسيج متخلق به اخلاق اسلامى است، اما رياكار نيست؛ بسيج در كار آبادكردن دنياست، اما خود اهل دنيا نيست. اين شد يك فرهنگ.
فرهنگ بسيجى يعنى آن مجموعهى معرفتها و روشها و منشهائى كه ميتواند مجموعههاى عظيمى را در ملت به وجود بياورد كه تضمينكنندهى حركت مستقيم و پايدار اسلامى آن ملت باشند. اين يك تفكر است؛ در ذهن هم نيست، در خارج و در عينيت وجود دارد. حركت بسيجى، سرنوشت ايران را، بلكه سرنوشت فراتر از ايران را تغيير داد، تعيين كرد. از روز اول، بسيجيان امام ما در ميدانهاى گوناگون انقلاب تا پيروزى انقلاب و تا پس از انقلاب حركتى كردند كه ماندگار شد، الگو شد، يادگار ملت ايران در عرصهى تاريخ شد. امروز جوانان نيويورك و كاليفرنيا هم شعارهاى مردم مصر و تونس را تكرار ميكنند، از آنها الهام ميگيرند؛ انكار هم نميكنند. جوانان مصر و تونس هم از حزبالله و حماس و جهاد اسلامى الهام گرفتهاند و فرا گرفتهاند و پنهان نكردند. و معلم اول در عصر جديد، بسيجىِ امام بزرگوار ما بود؛ كه همه از بسيجىِ امام بزرگوار فراگرفتند و از جانبازان و سربازان و فداكاران اين انقلاب ياد گرفتند كه چگونه ميتوان اسطورههاى قدرت مادى را شكست، چگونه ميتوان به نام خدا بتها را شكست، چگونه ميتوان ايستاد، چگونه ميتوان مقاومت كرد.
اينها حقايقى است كه امروز وجود بسيج، عينيت بسيج، حركت بسيج، هدفهاى بسيج، ما را به اين حقايق آشنا ميكند. انقلاب اسلامى و ملت انقلابى با يك چنين فرهنگى، با يك چنين آموزههائى، با يك چنين روحيهاى، توانست بسيارى از ناممكنها را ممكن كند، محقق كند؛ و اين حركت ادامه خواهد داشت. دشمنىِ دشمنان نميتواند تأثيرى بگذارد. البته دشمن، دشمنى ميكند - در اين ترديدى نبايد داشت، انتظارى هم جز اين از دشمن نبايد داشت - منتها ما وقتى حركت عظيم ملت ايران را از آغاز اين انقلاب، اين حركت، اين نهضت عمومى تا امروز مشاهده ميكنيم، مىبينيم يك خط سير مشخصى دارد. ملت ايران به سمت پيش حركت ميكند، به سمت اوج حركت ميكند، در ميدانهاى گوناگون بر چالشهاى گوناگون غلبه پيدا ميكند؛ و دشمنان در همين مقابله و مواجهه عقبنشينى ميكنند، كوتاه مىآيند؛ ناچارند. با اين حركت، سرنوشت ملت ايران، پيروزىِ قطعى است.
امروز در سرتاسر منطقهى اسلامى و منطقهى عربى، حركتهاى اسلامى و جوششهاى اسلامى مشاهده ميشود؛ اين همان چيزى است كه سى سال كسانى كه با حقيقت انقلاب آشنا بودند، انتظارش را داشتند و دشمنان انقلاب سى سال از تصور چنين چيزى به خود ميلرزيدند؛ واهمه و وحشت حوادثى را داشتند كه امروز اتفاق افتاده است. طراحان توطئههاى عليه انقلاب اسلامى پيشبينى ميكردند كه يك چنين حوادثى پيش خواهد آمد؛ و پيش آمد، و اين پيش خواهد رفت و متوقف نخواهد شد.
امروز ملتهاى مسلمان در منطقهى عربى سر بلند كردهاند، آگاه شدهاند، بيدار شدهاند. دشمنان نميتوانند آنها را سركوب كنند و نميتوانند راه را منحرف كنند. حركت به جريان افتاده است و وضع دنيا را تحت تأثير قرار داده است. همين حركتهائى كه امروز شما در دنياى غرب، در آمريكا و در اروپا مشاهده ميكنيد، نشان دهندهى تغييرات عظيمى است كه آيندهى دنيا شاهد اين تغييرات خواهد بود.
ما از عكسالعمل دشمنان تعجب نميكنيم؛ از تهديدهائى كه ميشود، از تحريمى كه ميكنند، از آنچه كه كشورهاى استكبارى در اين دوره در مواجههى با نظام جمهورى اسلامى انجام ميدهند، تعجب نميكنيم. آنها ميدانند كه كانون اين حركت، جمهورى اسلامى بود و ايستادگى ملت ايران است كه توانسته است اين روحيه را در منطقه بگستراند كه ميشود در مقابل هيمنهى استكبار ايستاد. استكبار پيشرفت كار خودش را همواره از راه مرعوب كردنها - ملتها را مرعوب ميكردند، سران كشورها را مرعوب ميكردند - پيش برده است. وقتى اين پردهى رعب بشكند، وقتى ملتها بدانند كه اين هيمنه، هيمنهى حقيقى و واقعى نيست و صورى و ظاهرى است، اين سلاح از دست استكبار گرفته خواهد شد. و امروز اينجور شده است. لذا خشمگينند، عصبانىاند، روى جمهورى اسلامى فشار وارد ميكنند.
البته اين كه جمهورى اسلامى را متهم كنند كه اين حركات را راه انداخته، غلط است؛ اين يك تهمت بيجا و بيموردى است؛ احتياجى به اين كار نيست. نظام اسلامى با بقاء خود، با ايستادگى خود، با صدق خود در اين راه - كه ملت ايران نشان داد در اين راه صادق است - الهامبخش بوده است و اين الهامبخشى وجود دارد. ملتها بيدار شدهاند و راه خود را پيدا كردهاند. دشمنان هم دشمنى ميكنند. البته اين دشمنىها چالشهائى را ايجاد ميكند. ملت ايران به مواجههى با اين چالشها عادت كرده است و ما انشاءالله بر همهى چالشهائى كه دشمنان به وجود مىآورند، غلبه خواهيم كرد و پيروز خواهيم شد و خداى متعال براى ملت ايران و در نهايت براى امت اسلامى و استقرار حقايق نورانى اسلام در عالم، اين پيروزى را مقدر فرموده است.
اميدواريم خداوند متعال توفيق تداوم در اين راه را به همهى ملت عزيز ما، به جوانان عزيز بسيجى ما، به همهى جوانان اين كشور و به مسئولان مرحمت كند. همه بدانند كه در اين زمينهها مسئولند؛ هم مسئولان كشور، هم قشرهاى گوناگون. مردم در ميدان حاضرند. آمادگى مردم در قضاياى گوناگون، آمادگى كامل است. مسئولان هم بايد قدر اين ملت را و اين آمادگى را بدانند و وظائف خود را، كارهائى را كه بر دوش آنهاست، به بهترين وجهى در قواى سهگانه انجام بدهند و ملت با انسجام پيش برود.
اين حركتهاى اسلامى در اطراف دنياى اسلام هم بلاشك حركتهاى ماندگارى است، حركتهاى پيشروندهاى است. ملتها يكى پس از ديگرى بيدار ميشوند. دستنشاندگان استكبار، يكى پس از ديگرى از عرصه و صحنه خارج خواهند شد و انشاءالله روزبهروز شوكت اسلام و اقتدار اسلام بيشتر خواهد شد.
پروردگارا! ما را لايق اين نعمتهاى بزرگ قرار بده؛ ما را شاكر اين نعمتهاى بزرگ قرار بده. پروردگارا! دلهاى ما را به نور محبت و معرفتِ خودت و اوليائت منور بگردان؛ دعاى بقيّةالله (ارواحنا فداه) را شامل حال ما بفرما.
والسّلام عليكم و رحمةالله و بركاته
Supreme Leader’s Speech to Basijis
28/11/2011
The following is the full text of the speech delivered on November 28, 2011 by Ayatollah Khamenei the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution to a group of basijis from different parts of the country.
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, and peace and greetings upon our Master, Muhammad, and upon his immaculate household, especially the one remaining with Allah on earth.
I am grateful to Allah the Exalted who gave me the opportunity to attend this glorious and excellent meeting. I would like to ask the brothers and sisters who are standing around the square to sit down so that we can have a discussion.
Today has coincided with the first day of the month of Muharram. The identity and nature of Basij are in harmony with the identity of Muharram and Ashura. Basij is proud of being a follower of the school of Ashura. Of course Ashura is the peak of self-sacrifice. The issue of Ashura and what happened to Hussein ibn Ali (a.s.) and his loyal companions have been identified in the entire history and the entire world with self-sacrifice and selfless efforts in the way of God and for a divine cause. But the issue of Ashura is not limited to this. Yes, self-sacrifice and martyrdom are the most prominent and significant aspect of Ashura, but there are also other truths in Ashura. From the beginning of the movement in Medina, the seeds of knowledge and insight were sowed: this is one of the characteristics of the event that happened on Ashura. If a people lack insight, different things will not help them improve their conditions and solve their problems. Therefore, purity, identifying the opportunities, sowing the seeds of a growing historical movement - these are among the important characteristics of Ashura. The event did not end on the noon of Ashura. In fact a movement started in history from the noon of Ashura, a movement whose scope is still widening and expanding and it will continue expanding in the future as well. Imam Hussein (a.s.) brought whatever he had into the arena in order to promote the word of God and save mankind. These are some of the characteristics that one can identify in the event that happened on Ashura.
Basij is following the same path. It is continuing the same movement. It is pursuing the same goals. It is using the same tools and means. Basij is from among the people and it was established for the sake of the people. It was established in order to further the great movement of a mujahid nation. Basij is present in defense, science, art, construction of the country, politics, culture, helping oppressed and helpless people, production, technology, furthering different affairs of the country, sports, international arenas and all righteous actions. This is the movement of Basij: a popular movement for the people, in the hearts of the people, from among the people, from among different social classes, from among women and men - young and old - from different professions. That is to say, an organization was established which was hezbollahi in the real sense of the word.
Basij is political in nature, but it is not intoxicated by political and partisan activities. Basij is a mujahid organization, but it is not without discipline. It is not radical. Basij is deeply pious and religious, but it is not rigid and superstitious. Basij is insightful, but it is not self-centered. Basij is inclusive - and I have recommended maximum inclusion - but it will not compromise principles. Basij is brave. It is the guardian of principles. Basij is a supporter of science, but it is not intoxicated with science. Basij enjoys Islamic characteristics and it is not hypocritical. Basij is involved in improving the world, but it does not have materialistic tendencies. And this is a culture.
The basiji culture includes the knowledge, methods and behaviors which can give rise to great things that guarantee the permanent Islamic movement of a nation on a straight path. This is a school of thought and it is not just an abstract concept: it has a manifestation in the real world. The movement of Basij changed the destiny of Iran and it even went beyond changing the destiny of Iran. From the first day, basijis continued their activities in different revolutionary arenas before and after the Revolution and their movement became permanent. It became a model. It went down in history in the name of the Iranian nation. Today the youth of New York and California are repeating the slogans of the people of Egypt and Tunisia. They are inspired by these nations and they do not deny this. And the youth of Egypt and Tunisia were inspired by Hezbollah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad and they did not hide this. Basijis who were deployed by our magnanimous Imam (r.a.) started this inspiration in the modern world. Everybody learnt how to defeat the icons of materialistic power from our Imam\'s basijis and from our disabled war veterans, soldiers and selfless people. They learnt how to break idols in the name of God. They leant how to stand firm and how to resist.
Today the existence, movement and goals of Basij make us familiar with these truths. By relying on this culture, these teachings and this spirit, the Islamic Revolution and the revolutionary Iranian nation managed to accomplish many things which were considered impossible and this movement will continue. The hostility of the enemies cannot affect this. Of course the enemy will continue its hostility. We must not have any doubts in this regard. In fact an enemy should not be expected to behave otherwise. However, when we consider the great movement of the Iranian nation from the beginning of the Revolution to the present day, we see that there is a clear path. The Iranian nation is moving forward. It is moving towards the peak. It continues overcoming different challenges in different arenas and the enemies are forced to back down in this confrontation. With this movement, the Iranian nation will definitely achieve victory.
Today Islamic movements and uprisings are being witnessed throughout Islamic and Arab regions. This is exactly what has been expected since thirty years ago by those who were familiar with the nature of the Revolution. And in anticipation of such a thing, the enemies of the Revolution were trembling with fear for thirty years. They lived in fear of the events that have already happened today. Those who were hatching plots against the Islamic Revolution predicted such events and they happened. These events will continue and they will not stop.
Today Muslim people have risen up in the Arab region. They have become aware. They have awakened. The enemies cannot suppress them. They cannot change their path. The movement has already started and it has affected the conditions of the world. The movements that you see today in the western world - in America and in Europe - are indicative of great changes that the world will witness in the future.
We are not surprised by the response of the enemies. We are not surprised by the threats they make, the sanctions they impose and what the arrogant countries have been doing against the Islamic Republic during this time. They know that the Islamic Republic was the source of this movement. They know that it is the resistance of the Iranian nation that has managed to promote the idea in the region that it is possible to stand up against the power of the arrogant powers. The arrogant powers have always resolved their problems through intimidation. They intimidate nations and their leaders. When this technique is revealed and when nations realize that the power of the arrogant countries is superficial and not genuine, the arrogant powers will lose this weapon. And this is what has happened today. Therefore, they are angry and they pressure the Islamic Republic.
Of course they wrongly accuse the Islamic Republic of having started these movements. This is a baseless accusation. There is no need for such actions. The Islamic Republic has been inspirational because of its permanence, resistance and sincerity on this path - and the Iranian nation proved that it is sincere on this path. This inspiration is still there. Nations have awakened and they have found their path. And the enemies are continuing their hostility. Of course these hostilities create certain challenges. The Iranian nation is used to confronting such challenges. By Allah\'s favor, we will overcome all the challenges that the enemies create and we will achieve victory. Allah the Exalted has pre-ordained the establishment of brilliant Islamic truths in the world and He has also pre-ordained victory for the Iranian nation and ultimately for the Islamic Ummah.
I hope Allah the Exalted will bless all our people, our basijis and all our youth and government officials with the opportunity to continue this path. Everybody should know that they are responsible in these areas. All our government officials and people should know this. The people are present in the arena. The people are completely prepared in different areas and our government officials should appreciate our people and their preparedness. Our government officials should carry out their responsibilities in the three branches of government in the best possible way so that our nation can move forward in a coherent way.
Undoubtedly these Islamic movements around the world of Islam are permanent and progressive movements. Nations are awakening one after the other. The puppets of the arrogant powers will leave the scene one after the other and by Allah\'s favor, the power and glory of Islam will increase on a daily basis.
Dear God, help us be worthy of these great blessings. Make us be thankful for these great blessings. Dear God, enlighten our hearts with the light of Your love and knowledge and with the love and knowledge of your saints. Make us benefit from the prayers of the Imam of the Age (may our souls be sacrificed for his sake).
Greetings be upon you and Allah\'s mercy and blessings

بيانات در دیدار اقشار نمونه بسیج سراسر كشور
بسماللهالرّحمنالرّحيم
الحمد لله ربّ العالمين و الصّلاة و السّلام على سيّدنا محمّد و ءاله الطّاهرين سيّما بقيّةالله فى الأرضين.
خداوند متعال را سپاسگزارم براى توفيق حضور در اين ديدار باشكوه و بسيار خوب. از برادران و خواهرانى كه در اطراف ميدان ايستادهاند، خواهش ميكنم بنشينند تا بتوانيم بحث كنيم.
امروز مقارن با اول محرم است. تناسبى هست ميان هويت و حقيقت بسيج با هويت محرم و عاشورا. بسيج افتخار دارد كه پيرو مكتب عاشوراست. البته عاشورا اوج فداكارى و ايثار است. همهى تاريخ، همهى عالم، مسئلهى عاشورا و حسينبنعلى (عليهالسّلام) و اصحاب وفادار او را با اين خصوصيت شناختهاند؛ فداكارى، ايثار در راه خدا و در راه تحقق اهداف الهى؛ ليكن مسئلهى عاشورا فقط اين نيست. بله، برجستهترين و نمايانترين خصوصيت عاشورا، همين فداكارى و شهادت است؛ ولى در ماجراى عاشورا حقايق ديگرى هم وجود دارد. از آغاز حركت از مدينه، بذر معرفت پاشيده شد - اين يكى از خصوصيات حادثهى عاشوراست - بذر بصيرت پاشيده شد. اگر مردمى، امتى از بصيرت برخوردار نباشند، حقايق گوناگون، كار آنها را اصلاح نخواهد كرد؛ گره از مشكلات آنها گشوده نخواهد شد. بنابراين اخلاص، موقعشناسى، پاشيدن بذر يك حركت فزايندهى تاريخى، از خصوصيات مهم عاشوراست. ماجرا فقط در ظهر عاشورا تمام نشد؛ در واقع از ظهر عاشورا يك جريانى در تاريخ شروع شد، كه همچنان رو به افزايش و گسترش است. بعد از اين هم همين خواهد بود. امام حسين (عليهالسّلام) براى اعلاى كلمهى حق و براى نجات خلق، همهى داشتههاى خود را به ميدان آورد. اين برخى از خصوصياتى است كه انسان به طور كلى در ماجراى عاشورا ميتواند ببيند و نشان بدهد.
بسيج، همين راه است؛ همين حركت است؛ همين هدفهاست؛ همين ابزارها و وسيلههاست. بسيج، جمع فداكارى از مردمند، براى مردم؛ تشكيل يك مجموعهاى در حركت عظيم يك ملت مجاهد. حضور در دفاع، حضور در علم، حضور در هنر، حضور در سازندگى، حضور در سياست، در فرهنگ، در كمك به مستضعفان، در كمك به درماندگان، در توليد، در فناورى، در پيشبرد مسائل گوناگون كشور، در ورزش، در درخششهاى بينالمللى، در هر كار خير؛ اين حركت بسيج است؛ حركتى مردمى، براى مردم، در دل مردم، از خود مردم، از همهى قشرها، زنان، مردان، جوانان، پيران، نوجوانان، از اصناف گوناگون؛ يعنى تشكيل يك مجموعهى حزبالله واقعى.
بسيج سياسى است، اما سياستزده نيست، سياسىكار نيست، جناحى نيست؛ بسيج مجاهد است، اما بىانضباط نيست، افراطى نيست؛ بسيج عميقاً متدين و متعبد است، اما متحجر نيست، خرافى نيست؛ بسيج بابصيرت است، اما ازخودراضى نيست؛ بسيج اهل جذب است - گفتهايم جذب حداكثرى - اما اهل تسامح در اصول نيست؛ بسيج غيور است، پاسدار خطوط فاصل است؛ بسيج طرفدار علم است، اما علمزده نيست؛ بسيج متخلق به اخلاق اسلامى است، اما رياكار نيست؛ بسيج در كار آبادكردن دنياست، اما خود اهل دنيا نيست. اين شد يك فرهنگ.
فرهنگ بسيجى يعنى آن مجموعهى معرفتها و روشها و منشهائى كه ميتواند مجموعههاى عظيمى را در ملت به وجود بياورد كه تضمينكنندهى حركت مستقيم و پايدار اسلامى آن ملت باشند. اين يك تفكر است؛ در ذهن هم نيست، در خارج و در عينيت وجود دارد. حركت بسيجى، سرنوشت ايران را، بلكه سرنوشت فراتر از ايران را تغيير داد، تعيين كرد. از روز اول، بسيجيان امام ما در ميدانهاى گوناگون انقلاب تا پيروزى انقلاب و تا پس از انقلاب حركتى كردند كه ماندگار شد، الگو شد، يادگار ملت ايران در عرصهى تاريخ شد. امروز جوانان نيويورك و كاليفرنيا هم شعارهاى مردم مصر و تونس را تكرار ميكنند، از آنها الهام ميگيرند؛ انكار هم نميكنند. جوانان مصر و تونس هم از حزبالله و حماس و جهاد اسلامى الهام گرفتهاند و فرا گرفتهاند و پنهان نكردند. و معلم اول در عصر جديد، بسيجىِ امام بزرگوار ما بود؛ كه همه از بسيجىِ امام بزرگوار فراگرفتند و از جانبازان و سربازان و فداكاران اين انقلاب ياد گرفتند كه چگونه ميتوان اسطورههاى قدرت مادى را شكست، چگونه ميتوان به نام خدا بتها را شكست، چگونه ميتوان ايستاد، چگونه ميتوان مقاومت كرد.
اينها حقايقى است كه امروز وجود بسيج، عينيت بسيج، حركت بسيج، هدفهاى بسيج، ما را به اين حقايق آشنا ميكند. انقلاب اسلامى و ملت انقلابى با يك چنين فرهنگى، با يك چنين آموزههائى، با يك چنين روحيهاى، توانست بسيارى از ناممكنها را ممكن كند، محقق كند؛ و اين حركت ادامه خواهد داشت. دشمنىِ دشمنان نميتواند تأثيرى بگذارد. البته دشمن، دشمنى ميكند - در اين ترديدى نبايد داشت، انتظارى هم جز اين از دشمن نبايد داشت - منتها ما وقتى حركت عظيم ملت ايران را از آغاز اين انقلاب، اين حركت، اين نهضت عمومى تا امروز مشاهده ميكنيم، مىبينيم يك خط سير مشخصى دارد. ملت ايران به سمت پيش حركت ميكند، به سمت اوج حركت ميكند، در ميدانهاى گوناگون بر چالشهاى گوناگون غلبه پيدا ميكند؛ و دشمنان در همين مقابله و مواجهه عقبنشينى ميكنند، كوتاه مىآيند؛ ناچارند. با اين حركت، سرنوشت ملت ايران، پيروزىِ قطعى است.
امروز در سرتاسر منطقهى اسلامى و منطقهى عربى، حركتهاى اسلامى و جوششهاى اسلامى مشاهده ميشود؛ اين همان چيزى است كه سى سال كسانى كه با حقيقت انقلاب آشنا بودند، انتظارش را داشتند و دشمنان انقلاب سى سال از تصور چنين چيزى به خود ميلرزيدند؛ واهمه و وحشت حوادثى را داشتند كه امروز اتفاق افتاده است. طراحان توطئههاى عليه انقلاب اسلامى پيشبينى ميكردند كه يك چنين حوادثى پيش خواهد آمد؛ و پيش آمد، و اين پيش خواهد رفت و متوقف نخواهد شد.
امروز ملتهاى مسلمان در منطقهى عربى سر بلند كردهاند، آگاه شدهاند، بيدار شدهاند. دشمنان نميتوانند آنها را سركوب كنند و نميتوانند راه را منحرف كنند. حركت به جريان افتاده است و وضع دنيا را تحت تأثير قرار داده است. همين حركتهائى كه امروز شما در دنياى غرب، در آمريكا و در اروپا مشاهده ميكنيد، نشان دهندهى تغييرات عظيمى است كه آيندهى دنيا شاهد اين تغييرات خواهد بود.
ما از عكسالعمل دشمنان تعجب نميكنيم؛ از تهديدهائى كه ميشود، از تحريمى كه ميكنند، از آنچه كه كشورهاى استكبارى در اين دوره در مواجههى با نظام جمهورى اسلامى انجام ميدهند، تعجب نميكنيم. آنها ميدانند كه كانون اين حركت، جمهورى اسلامى بود و ايستادگى ملت ايران است كه توانسته است اين روحيه را در منطقه بگستراند كه ميشود در مقابل هيمنهى استكبار ايستاد. استكبار پيشرفت كار خودش را همواره از راه مرعوب كردنها - ملتها را مرعوب ميكردند، سران كشورها را مرعوب ميكردند - پيش برده است. وقتى اين پردهى رعب بشكند، وقتى ملتها بدانند كه اين هيمنه، هيمنهى حقيقى و واقعى نيست و صورى و ظاهرى است، اين سلاح از دست استكبار گرفته خواهد شد. و امروز اينجور شده است. لذا خشمگينند، عصبانىاند، روى جمهورى اسلامى فشار وارد ميكنند.
البته اين كه جمهورى اسلامى را متهم كنند كه اين حركات را راه انداخته، غلط است؛ اين يك تهمت بيجا و بيموردى است؛ احتياجى به اين كار نيست. نظام اسلامى با بقاء خود، با ايستادگى خود، با صدق خود در اين راه - كه ملت ايران نشان داد در اين راه صادق است - الهامبخش بوده است و اين الهامبخشى وجود دارد. ملتها بيدار شدهاند و راه خود را پيدا كردهاند. دشمنان هم دشمنى ميكنند. البته اين دشمنىها چالشهائى را ايجاد ميكند. ملت ايران به مواجههى با اين چالشها عادت كرده است و ما انشاءالله بر همهى چالشهائى كه دشمنان به وجود مىآورند، غلبه خواهيم كرد و پيروز خواهيم شد و خداى متعال براى ملت ايران و در نهايت براى امت اسلامى و استقرار حقايق نورانى اسلام در عالم، اين پيروزى را مقدر فرموده است.
اميدواريم خداوند متعال توفيق تداوم در اين راه را به همهى ملت عزيز ما، به جوانان عزيز بسيجى ما، به همهى جوانان اين كشور و به مسئولان مرحمت كند. همه بدانند كه در اين زمينهها مسئولند؛ هم مسئولان كشور، هم قشرهاى گوناگون. مردم در ميدان حاضرند. آمادگى مردم در قضاياى گوناگون، آمادگى كامل است. مسئولان هم بايد قدر اين ملت را و اين آمادگى را بدانند و وظائف خود را، كارهائى را كه بر دوش آنهاست، به بهترين وجهى در قواى سهگانه انجام بدهند و ملت با انسجام پيش برود.
اين حركتهاى اسلامى در اطراف دنياى اسلام هم بلاشك حركتهاى ماندگارى است، حركتهاى پيشروندهاى است. ملتها يكى پس از ديگرى بيدار ميشوند. دستنشاندگان استكبار، يكى پس از ديگرى از عرصه و صحنه خارج خواهند شد و انشاءالله روزبهروز شوكت اسلام و اقتدار اسلام بيشتر خواهد شد.
پروردگارا! ما را لايق اين نعمتهاى بزرگ قرار بده؛ ما را شاكر اين نعمتهاى بزرگ قرار بده. پروردگارا! دلهاى ما را به نور محبت و معرفتِ خودت و اوليائت منور بگردان؛ دعاى بقيّةالله (ارواحنا فداه) را شامل حال ما بفرما.
والسّلام عليكم و رحمةالله و بركاته
Supreme Leader’s Speech to Basijis
28/11/2011
The following is the full text of the speech delivered on November 28, 2011 by Ayatollah Khamenei the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution to a group of basijis from different parts of the country.
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, and peace and greetings upon our Master, Muhammad, and upon his immaculate household, especially the one remaining with Allah on earth.
I am grateful to Allah the Exalted who gave me the opportunity to attend this glorious and excellent meeting. I would like to ask the brothers and sisters who are standing around the square to sit down so that we can have a discussion.
Today has coincided with the first day of the month of Muharram. The identity and nature of Basij are in harmony with the identity of Muharram and Ashura. Basij is proud of being a follower of the school of Ashura. Of course Ashura is the peak of self-sacrifice. The issue of Ashura and what happened to Hussein ibn Ali (a.s.) and his loyal companions have been identified in the entire history and the entire world with self-sacrifice and selfless efforts in the way of God and for a divine cause. But the issue of Ashura is not limited to this. Yes, self-sacrifice and martyrdom are the most prominent and significant aspect of Ashura, but there are also other truths in Ashura. From the beginning of the movement in Medina, the seeds of knowledge and insight were sowed: this is one of the characteristics of the event that happened on Ashura. If a people lack insight, different things will not help them improve their conditions and solve their problems. Therefore, purity, identifying the opportunities, sowing the seeds of a growing historical movement - these are among the important characteristics of Ashura. The event did not end on the noon of Ashura. In fact a movement started in history from the noon of Ashura, a movement whose scope is still widening and expanding and it will continue expanding in the future as well. Imam Hussein (a.s.) brought whatever he had into the arena in order to promote the word of God and save mankind. These are some of the characteristics that one can identify in the event that happened on Ashura.
Basij is following the same path. It is continuing the same movement. It is pursuing the same goals. It is using the same tools and means. Basij is from among the people and it was established for the sake of the people. It was established in order to further the great movement of a mujahid nation. Basij is present in defense, science, art, construction of the country, politics, culture, helping oppressed and helpless people, production, technology, furthering different affairs of the country, sports, international arenas and all righteous actions. This is the movement of Basij: a popular movement for the people, in the hearts of the people, from among the people, from among different social classes, from among women and men - young and old - from different professions. That is to say, an organization was established which was hezbollahi in the real sense of the word.
Basij is political in nature, but it is not intoxicated by political and partisan activities. Basij is a mujahid organization, but it is not without discipline. It is not radical. Basij is deeply pious and religious, but it is not rigid and superstitious. Basij is insightful, but it is not self-centered. Basij is inclusive - and I have recommended maximum inclusion - but it will not compromise principles. Basij is brave. It is the guardian of principles. Basij is a supporter of science, but it is not intoxicated with science. Basij enjoys Islamic characteristics and it is not hypocritical. Basij is involved in improving the world, but it does not have materialistic tendencies. And this is a culture.
The basiji culture includes the knowledge, methods and behaviors which can give rise to great things that guarantee the permanent Islamic movement of a nation on a straight path. This is a school of thought and it is not just an abstract concept: it has a manifestation in the real world. The movement of Basij changed the destiny of Iran and it even went beyond changing the destiny of Iran. From the first day, basijis continued their activities in different revolutionary arenas before and after the Revolution and their movement became permanent. It became a model. It went down in history in the name of the Iranian nation. Today the youth of New York and California are repeating the slogans of the people of Egypt and Tunisia. They are inspired by these nations and they do not deny this. And the youth of Egypt and Tunisia were inspired by Hezbollah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad and they did not hide this. Basijis who were deployed by our magnanimous Imam (r.a.) started this inspiration in the modern world. Everybody learnt how to defeat the icons of materialistic power from our Imam\'s basijis and from our disabled war veterans, soldiers and selfless people.

By relying on this culture, these teachings and this spirit, the Islamic Revolution and the revolutionary Iranian nation managed to accomplish many things which were considered impossible and this movement will continue. The hostility of the enemies cannot affect this. Of course the enemy will continue its hostility. We must not have any doubts in this regard.

The movement has already started and it has affected the conditions of the world. The movements that you see today in the western world - in America and in Europe - are indicative of great changes that the world will witness in the future.

I hope Allah the Exalted will bless all our people, our basijis and all our youth and government officials with the opportunity to continue this path. Everybody should know that they are responsible in these areas. All our government officials and people should know this. The people are present in the arena. The people are completely prepared in different areas and our government officials should appreciate our people and their preparedness. Our government officials should carry out their responsibilities in the three branches of government in the best possible way so that our nation can move forward in a coherent way.
Undoubtedly these Islamic movements around the world of Islam are permanent and progressive movements. Nations are awakening one after the other. The puppets of the arrogant powers will leave the scene one after the other and by Allah\'s favor, the power and glory of Islam will increase on a daily basis.
Dear God, help us be worthy of these great blessings. Make us be thankful for these great blessings. Dear God, enlighten our hearts with the light of Your love and knowledge and with the love and knowledge of your saints. Make us benefit from the prayers of the Imam of the Age (may our souls be sacrificed for his sake).
Greetings be upon you and Allah\'s mercy and blessings

Undoubtedly these Islamic movements around the world of Islam are permanent and progressive movements. Nations are awakening one after the other. The puppets of the arrogant powers will leave the scene one after the other and by Allah\\\'s favor, the power and glory of Islam will increase on a daily basis.
Dear God, help us be worthy of these great blessings. Make us be thankful for these great blessings. Dear God, enlighten our hearts with the light of Your love and knowledge and with the love and knowledge of your saints. Make us benefit from the prayers of the Imam of the Age (may our souls be sacrificed for his sake).
Greetings be upon you and Allah\\\'s mercy and blessings.

Description:
Supreme Leader’s Speech to Basijis
28/11/2011
The following is the full text of the speech delivered on November 28, 2011 by Ayatollah Khamenei the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution to a group of basijis from different parts of the country.
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, and peace and greetings upon our Master, Muhammad, and upon his immaculate household, especially the one remaining with Allah on earth.
I am grateful to Allah the Exalted who gave me the opportunity to attend this glorious and excellent meeting. I would like to ask the brothers and sisters who are standing around the square to sit down so that we can have a discussion.
Today has coincided with the first day of the month of Muharram. The identity and nature of Basij are in harmony with the identity of Muharram and Ashura. Basij is proud of being a follower of the school of Ashura. Of course Ashura is the peak of self-sacrifice. The issue of Ashura and what happened to Hussein ibn Ali (a.s.) and his loyal companions have been identified in the entire history and the entire world with self-sacrifice and selfless efforts in the way of God and for a divine cause. But the issue of Ashura is not limited to this. Yes, self-sacrifice and martyrdom are the most prominent and significant aspect of Ashura, but there are also other truths in Ashura. From the beginning of the movement in Medina, the seeds of knowledge and insight were sowed: this is one of the characteristics of the event that happened on Ashura. If a people lack insight, different things will not help them improve their conditions and solve their problems. Therefore, purity, identifying the opportunities, sowing the seeds of a growing historical movement - these are among the important characteristics of Ashura. The event did not end on the noon of Ashura. In fact a movement started in history from the noon of Ashura, a movement whose scope is still widening and expanding and it will continue expanding in the future as well. Imam Hussein (a.s.) brought whatever he had into the arena in order to promote the word of God and save mankind. These are some of the characteristics that one can identify in the event that happened on Ashura.
Basij is following the same path. It is continuing the same movement. It is pursuing the same goals. It is using the same tools and means. Basij is from among the people and it was established for the sake of the people. It was established in order to further the great movement of a mujahid nation. Basij is present in defense, science, art, construction of the country, politics, culture, helping oppressed and helpless people, production, technology, furthering different affairs of the country, sports, international arenas and all righteous actions. This is the movement of Basij: a popular movement for the people, in the hearts of the people, from among the people, from among different social classes, from among women and men - young and old - from different professions. That is to say, an organization was established which was hezbollahi in the real sense of the word.
Basij is political in nature, but it is not intoxicated by political and partisan activities. Basij is a mujahid organization, but it is not without discipline. It is not radical. Basij is deeply pious and religious, but it is not rigid and superstitious. Basij is insightful, but it is not self-centered. Basij is inclusive - and I have recommended maximum inclusion - but it will not compromise principles. Basij is brave. It is the guardian of principles. Basij is a supporter of science, but it is not intoxicated with science. Basij enjoys Islamic characteristics and it is not hypocritical. Basij is involved in improving the world, but it does not have materialistic tendencies. And this is a culture.
The basiji culture includes the knowledge, methods and behaviors which can give rise to great things that guarantee the permanent Islamic movement of a nation on a straight path. This is a school of thought and it is not just an abstract concept: it has a manifestation in the real world. The movement of Basij changed the destiny of Iran and it even went beyond changing the destiny of Iran. From the first day, basijis continued their activities in different revolutionary arenas before and after the Revolution and their movement became permanent. It became a model. It went down in history in the name of the Iranian nation. Today the youth of New York and California are repeating the slogans of the people of Egypt and Tunisia. They are inspired by these nations and they do not deny this. And the youth of Egypt and Tunisia were inspired by Hezbollah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad and they did not hide this. Basijis who were deployed by our magnanimous Imam (r.a.) started this inspiration in the modern world. Everybody learnt how to defeat the icons of materialistic power from our Imam\\\'s basijis and from our disabled war veterans, soldiers and selfless people. They learnt how to break idols in the name of God. They leant how to stand firm and how to resist.
Today the existence, movement and goals of Basij make us familiar with these truths. By relying on this culture, these teachings and this spirit, the Islamic Revolution and the revolutionary Iranian nation managed to accomplish many things which were considered impossible and this movement will continue. The hostility of the enemies cannot affect this. Of course the enemy will continue its hostility. We must not have any doubts in this regard. In fact an enemy should not be expected to behave otherwise. However, when we consider the great movement of the Iranian nation from the beginning of the Revolution to the present day, we see that there is a clear path. The Iranian nation is moving forward. It is moving towards the peak. It continues overcoming different challenges in different arenas and the enemies are forced to back down in this confrontation. With this movement, the Iranian nation will definitely achieve victory.
Today Islamic movements and uprisings are being witnessed throughout Islamic and Arab regions. This is exactly what has been expected since thirty years ago by those who were familiar with the nature of the Revolution. And in anticipation of such a thing, the enemies of the Revolution were trembling with fear for thirty years. They lived in fear of the events that have already happened today. Those who were hatching plots against the Islamic Revolution predicted such events and they happened. These events will continue and they will not stop.
Today Muslim people have risen up in the Arab region. They have become aware. They have awakened. The enemies cannot suppress them. They cannot change their path. The movement has already started and it has affected the conditions of the world. The movements that you see today in the western world - in America and in Europe - are indicative of great changes that the world will witness in the future.
We are not surprised by the response of the enemies. We are not surprised by the threats they make, the sanctions they impose and what the arrogant countries have been doing against the Islamic Republic during this time. They know that the Islamic Republic was the source of this movement. They know that it is the resistance of the Iranian nation that has managed to promote the idea in the region that it is possible to stand up against the power of the arrogant powers. The arrogant powers have always resolved their problems through intimidation. They intimidate nations and their leaders. When this technique is revealed and when nations realize that the power of the arrogant countries is superficial and not genuine, the arrogant powers will lose this weapon. And this is what has happened today. Therefore, they are angry and they pressure the Islamic Republic.
Of course they wrongly accuse the Islamic Republic of having started these movements. This is a baseless accusation. There is no need for such actions. The Islamic Republic has been inspirational because of its permanence, resistance and sincerity on this path - and the Iranian nation proved that it is sincere on this path. This inspiration is still there. Nations have awakened and they have found their path. And the enemies are continuing their hostility. Of course these hostilities create certain challenges. The Iranian nation is used to confronting such challenges. By Allah\\\'s favor, we will overcome all the challenges that the enemies create and we will achieve victory. Allah the Exalted has pre-ordained the establishment of brilliant Islamic truths in the world and He has also pre-ordained victory for the Iranian nation and ultimately for the Islamic Ummah.
I hope Allah the Exalted will bless all our people, our basijis and all our youth and government officials with the opportunity to continue this path. Everybody should know that they are responsible in these areas. All our government officials and people should know this. The people are present in the arena. The people are completely prepared in different areas and our government officials should appreciate our people and their preparedness. Our government officials should carry out their responsibilities in the three branches of government in the best possible way so that our nation can move forward in a coherent way.
Undoubtedly these Islamic movements around the world of Islam are permanent and progressive movements. Nations are awakening one after the other. The puppets of the arrogant powers will leave the scene one after the other and by Allah\\\'s favor, the power and glory of Islam will increase on a daily basis.
Dear God, help us be worthy of these great blessings. Make us be thankful for these great blessings. Dear God, enlighten our hearts with the light of Your love and knowledge and with the love and knowledge of your saints. Make us benefit from the prayers of the Imam of the Age (may our souls be sacrificed for his sake).
Greetings be upon you and Allah\\\'s mercy and blessings.
