Often we hear our women, in a manner like that of Hazrat Zainab, cry out loud saying that they have given children in the path of God and Islam and are proud of it.
They realise that what they get in return is far above the blessings of Heaven, let alone the material things of this world.
Our nation, indeed all Islamic nations as well as the meek and oppressed are pleased to see that their enemies,
who are the enemies of Almighty God, of Islam and of the Holy Quran,
are indeed savages who do not desist from committing any criminal acts to promote their mean purposes
and who are unable to tell a friend from a foe in achieving treacherous goals.
The USA is the foremost enemy of Islam. It is a terrorist state by nature that has set fire to everything everywhere and its ally,
the international Zionism does not stop short of any crime to achieve its base and greedy desires, crimes that the tongue and pen are ashamed to utter or write.
The stupid idea of a Greater Israel urges them to commit any shameful crime.
The Islamic nations and the oppressed peoples of the world are pleased to have Hussein of Jordan a professional, itinerant criminal,
Hasan of Morocco and Hosni Mubarak of Egypt, fellow-mangers of Israel, as enemies.
These are fellow-criminals with Israel and commit any act of treason against their own nations to serve the USA.
We cheer to have Saddam, the Aflaqi as an enemy whom friend and foe know to be a criminal,
a violator of human rights and international laws and whose betrayal of the peoples of Iraq and of the Persian Gulf Emirates,
has been no less than his betrayal of our country and people.
We and the oppressed peoples of the world are delighted to be objects of criminal accusations by the superpowers through the international mass media under their control.
What can be a better source of pride than the fact that the USA with all its military might, its boastfulness, its claims, its mass media
and its allies among puppet regimes, has been so dumbfounded and disgraced in its dealings with the dauntless Iranian nation
and the land of His Holiness Baqiyatullah that it does not know which way to turn and who to turn to?!!
This is not the work of anyone or anything except divine assistance that has awakened nations,
particularly the Iranian Muslim nation and has guided it from darkness into light: The Light of Islam.
I now take this opportunity to advise the oppressed and noble nations, including our own, to stay firmly on this divine straight path
that leads neither to the atheistic East nor to the oppressive, pagan West, but to the path which the Almighty God has decreed for us.
I further advise not to be negligent even for a single moment in being grateful for this blessing.
Let no polluted hand of a superpower, or its agents, whether domestic or foreign, affect your determination and will.
Know that the rowdier the Eastern or Western satanic power gets, the more proof it is for your divine support
and God shall reward and punish the deserving ones in the best fashion in this and in the other worlds.
"Truly, He is the Lord of all blessing and in His hand lies the dominion over all things".(The Quran, the Believers, verse 88).
I earnestly ask all Muslim nations to follow the practices and traditions of the Infallible Imams (AS)
in respect of political, social, economic and military affairs and to sacrifice for their sake whatever may be required.
Also, I would like to enjoin on all of you to safeguard and observe the Traditional fiqh
or religious canons for these set forth the schools of prophetic mission and Imamate and guarantee the growth and development of the nations
through their primary and secondary decrees both of which are schools of Islamic jurisprudence.
My advice is that you do not deviate an iota from the teachings of both schools of Islamic fiqh and not listen to the whisperings of the slinking (Satan)
who are the enemies of religion and truth.
Be sure that even a minor step toward deviation may be a prelude to the fall of the religion, of the tenets of Islam and of the divine rule of justice.
Do not ever miss the Friday mass prayers and the daily congregational prayers.
The Friday Congregational Prayer is one of the greatest divine blessings for the Islamic Republic of Iran, it reflects the political dimension of prayers.
Also, never neglect the mourning ceremonies commemorating the martyrdom of the Innocent Imams
particularly that of the Master of All Martyrs his Holiness Abi Abdullah Hussein (AS), may God, His Angels, the prophets and saints bless his great, valiant soul!
Let all know that the decrees of the Imams (AS) regarding the observance of this great epic event of Islam
and all the curses levied against the enemies of the Household of the Prophet are, in fact, the heroic cries of nations against agents of tyranny throughout history.
You should know that the damnation and curses against the then injustices of the Bani Omayyads, who were annihilated and cast into the Hell,
reflect the cries of protest by the people against the oppressors of the world and it is the perpetuation of such cries of protest that shatters oppression.
It is necessary that the crimes of the tyrants in each age and era be regularly condemned in the cries of lamentation and in the recitals of elegies held for the Infallible Imams.
In this age of oppression of Muslim nations is the work of the USA and the U.S.S.R and their local lackeys such as the Family of Saud
these traitors to the House of God, the Great Divine Sanctuary, who deserve the most potent damnation by Allah, His Angels and Prophets (SAW).
We must all know that it is these political ceremonies (Friday Mass, the Hajj Pilgrimage, the Salaat ul Jama'at,etc) that give Muslims, particularly the Shiite
the unity they should enjoy; these also preserve the nationality of all Muslims.
Let me say at this point that this politico-religious testament of mine is not made to the noble people of Iran only.
Rather, it is recommended for all Islamic nations and the oppressed peoples of the world regardless of religion or nationality.
I humbly pray that Almighty God does not leave us and our nations to ourselves even for a moment.
May He not withhold His blessings from the children of Islam and the cherished Muslim combatants.
Ruhollah Al-Musavi Al-Kbomeini
In The Name of God The Compassionate the Merciful
The significance of the glorious Islamic Revolution which came to be through the efforts of millions of worthy men
and the blood of thousands of martyrs and disabled veterans (living martyrs) and which is regarded as a source of hope and inspiration
to millions of oppressed human beings, is so great that it defies evaluation by pen or tongue.
I, Ruhullah al Musavi al Khomeini, ever mindful of the Lord's bounty in spite of my shortcomings
and having as provision for my hazardous course only my hope and trust in His Munificence;
and, as a humble student who, like all other brothers-in-faith, have faith in this revolution
and the everlastingness and perpetuation of its achievements and its fruition,
undertake to present the following as my covenant and will with the present and future generations.
I pray that God may grant me sincerity of purpose in making these remarks:
One:
We all know that the great revolution which severed the tentacles of the tyrannical world-mongers from the face and form of Iran was made possible by divine grace only.
It would have been impossible for the people of Iran to achieve this great feat in view of the following conditions that prevailed in the country at that time:
Immeasurable anti-Islamic, anti-clerical propaganda, particularly during the last century;
creation of disunity and discord among the population by writers, poets, orators and the communication mass media;
the establishment of so many centers of gambling, prostitution, narcotics consumption, bars and cabarets to drag the youth into indifference and vice,
by the corrupt shah and his illiterate father; the imposition on the people of parliaments rigged up by the embassies of foreign powers;
the use of teachers and professors with Eastern or Western learnings in schools and universities, educators who were one hundred percent opposed to Islamic culture.
The minority good people among them could do nothing effective.
With all the above-mentioned issues and with scores of other problems such as the isolation of the clergy
and perverting their minds with poisonous propaganda, it is nothing short of a miracle that the nation was able to rise up in unison with the cry of Allah-o-Akbar.
In every hamlet, village, town and city all over the country, by stunning acts of devotion and sacrifice,
the nation drove out all domestic and foreign elements and agents of power and took the destiny of the country in its own hands.
Therefore, without a doubt, the Islamic Revolution of Iran is singular and unique among all revolutions;
unique in its emergence, in its fighting character and in its incentive for uprising and revolt.
Certainly this was a sacred gift, a divine present from God to the oppressed and pillaged Iranian nation.
Two:
Islam and Islamic government are divine phenomena the utilization of which insures the happiness of man for all times in this and in the next world.
They can put an end to injustice and corruption and help man achieve ideal perfection.
Contrary to non-monotheistic schools of thought, Islam is concerned with and supervises man in all his individual, social, economic and military affairs.
It does not overlook the smallest issue that affects the education and the moral and material progress of man and his society.
Islam has pointed out the obstacles to social change and evolution of man and makes every effort to remove them.
And, now that by the grace of God, the Islamic Republic has been initiated in Iran by the mighty hand of its people
and Islam and its progressive laws and tenets are the concern of this Islamic government,
it is up to the nation to insure their implementation in all aspects of life and to safeguard them well as the preservation of Islam takes precedence over all else.
