Amidst an intensifying crackdown on anti-government protesters in the tiny Gulf island Kingdom of Bahrain, President Obama met Tuesday with Crown Prince Salman bin Isa al-Khalifa, a visit that was not announced beforehand. We speak with Nabeel Rajab, president of Bahrain's Center for Human Rights, based in Manama. "We do not see anything that makes us optimistic that the government has the willingness to go for a dialogue with the opposition and to listen to the grievances and demands of the people," says Rajab, noting that soldiers from Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Bahrain continue to arrest protesters and the doctors treating those injured during pro-democracy demonstrations.

بیانات در دیدار رئیس و مسئولان قوه قضائیه
http://farsi.khamenei.ir/news-content?id=12801
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای رهبر معظم انقلاب اسلامی صبح امروز در دیدار رئیس و مسئولان عالی قوه قضاییه و جمعی از قضات و كاركنان دستگاه قضایی، صبر همراه با بصیرت در مقابل سختیها را عامل اصلی پیشرفت حركت رو به جلوی ملت ایران در 33 سال گذشته ارزیابی كردند و با اشاره به نیاز قوه قضاییه به دو ركن مهم اقتدار و اعتماد عمومی افزودند: هرگونه اقدام و یا القای تشكیك برای زیر سؤال بردن فعالیتها، گزارشها و آمارهای مسئولان عالی سه قوه بویژه قوه قضاییه، اقدامی نادرست، ضداعتماد عمومی و برخلاف مصالح كشور است و همه مسئولان، صاحبان تریبونها و رسانهها باید به این موضوع مهم كاملاً توجه كنند.
در این دیدار كه در آستانه سالگرد حادثه انفجار تروریستی دفتر حزب جمهوری اسلامی در هفتم تیر سال 1360 و شهادت آیتالله دكتر بهشتی و 72 تن از یاران انقلاب برگزار شد و جمعی از خانوادههای شهدای حادثه هفتم تیر نیز حضور داشتند، رهبر انقلاب اسلامی با گرامیداشت یاد و خاطره این شهدا بویژه شهید مظلوم آیتالله دكتر بهشتی، خاطرنشان كردند: حادثه هفتم تیر حقیقتاً یك محنت بود اما ملت ایران با صبر و بصیرتی كه از طرف امام بزرگوار (ره) تزریق میشد، این محنت را تبدیل به نعمت كرد و موج را به طرف خود دشمن برگرداند.
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای، این درس امتحان پس داده شده ملت ایران را عامل اصلی پیشرفتها و حركت رو به جلو دانستند و افزودند: ملت ایران به دلیل اهداف والای خود كه همان رسیدن به ارزشهای اسلامی و تحقق مبانی اسلامی در جامعه و انتشار آن در جهان است، همواره با زورگویان عالم و استعمارگران و دیكتاتورها و سختیهای تحمیلی از طرف آنها مواجه بوده و خواهد بود، بنابراین باید با صبر همراه با بصیرت در مقابل سختیها ایستاد و محنتها را به نردبانی برای پیشرفت و ارتقاء تبدیل كرد.
مسائل مربوط به قوه قضاییه بخش دیگری از سخنان رهبر انقلاب اسلامی بود.
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای، اقتدار و اعتماد عمومی را دو ركن اصلی مورد نیاز قوه قضاییه برشمردند و تأكید كردند: اقتدار قوه قضاییه با تأمین زیرساختهای مناسب انسانی و فنی بوجود میآید.
ایشان افزودند: تربیت انسانهای شایسته، فاضل، امین و درستكار و همچنین ابتكار و نوآوری، وضع قوانین صحیح و بهرهگیری درست و براساس تشخیص عقلی، از پیشرفتهای گوناگون فنی و سازمانی، زمینهساز استحكام درونی قوه قضاییه و اقتدار آن خواهد بود.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی لازمه جلب اعتماد عمومی به عنوان دومین ركن مورد نیاز قوه قضاییه را، تأمین عدالت دانستند و تأكید كردند: تبدیل شدن عدالت به جریانی فراگیر و دائمی در قوه قضاییه نیازمند تقوا، نگاه بیطرفانه در حوادث كوچك و بزرگ، و عملكرد دقیق و حكیمانه به قانون است.
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای در همین خصوص به موضوع سلب اعتماد عمومی هم اشاره كردند و با انتقاد از برخی القای تشكیكها در اقدامات و گزارشهای قوه قضاییه و همچنین قوای مجریه و مقننه، افزودند: زیر سؤال بردن زحمات و گزارشهای رسمی مسئولان عالی نظام در سه قوه و سلب اعتماد عمومی، كاری غلط و نادرست است و همه مسئولان، صاحبان تریبونها و رسانهها باید متوجه این موضوع مهم باشند.
ایشان با اشاره به احتمال اشتباه در برخی گزارشها و یا آمارها خاطرنشان كردند: نباید با تعمیم این موضوع و القای شبهه، اعتماد مردم را از بین برد.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی به موضوع رسانهای كردن اتهامات نیز اشاره كردند و افزودند: متهم شدن به معنای مجرم بودن نیست، بنابراین هیچكس در قوه قضاییه و در خارج از این قوه و در رسانه ها حق ندارد تا زمانیكه جرمی ثابت نشده، آن را رسانهای كند.
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای با انتقاد از برخی فشارها به قوه قضاییه برای افشاگری، خاطرنشان كردند: هیچ لزومی به افشاگری وجود ندارد و هیچكس حق ریختن آبروی یك مسلمان را ندارد.
ایشان با تأكید بر اینكه در شرع فقط در مواردی خیلی خاص، اجازه انتشار مجازات و یا علنی شدن مشخصات شخص مجازات شونده، داده شده است، افزودند: حتی در مواردی كه جرم در دادگاه نیز اثبات میشود، نباید نام فرد مجرم علنی و رسانهای شود زیرا خانواده وی تحت فشار قرار میگیرند و دچار مشكل میشوند.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی در پایان سخنان خود با اشاره به پیشرفتهای قوه قضاییه از ابتدای پیروزی انقلاب اسلامی تاكنون و در دورههای مختلف خاطرنشان كردند: در دوره فعلی نیز شخصیت برجستهای از لحاظ علم، ابتكار، نشاط، انگیزه و همت در رأس قوه قضاییه قرار دارد و اقدامات عالمانه و مبتكرانه تحسین برانگیزی انجام گرفته است.
در ابتدای این دیدار، آیتالله آملی لاریجانی رئیس قوه قضاییه ضمن گرامیداشت یاد و خاطره شهدای حادثه تروریستی هفتم تیر بویژه شهید آیتالله بهشتی، گزارشی از اقدامات انجام گرفته در قوه قضاییه در دو سال گذشته ارائه كرد.
تلاش برای برطرف كردن مشكل كمبود نیروی انسانی كارآمد از طریق جذب یكهزار نیروی جدید، آموزش ضمن خدمت قضات و كاركنان، اهتمام جدی به نظارت درونی در قوه قضاییه از طریق تأسیس معاونت نظارت در دیوانعالی كشور و دادستانی كل كشور و فعال شدن شورایعالی نظارت در قوه قضاییه، توسعه زیرساختهای سختافزاری و طراحی نرمافزارهای مورد نیاز برای تسهیل در ارائه خدمات، تشكیل معاونت پیشگیری و همكاری با دستگاهها برای پیشگیری از جرم، ایجاد زیرساختهای لازم برای دسترسی آسان مردم به اطلاعات حقوقی، تلاش برای حل مشكلات معیشتی قضات و كاركنان دستگاه قضایی، بهبود شرایط فیزیكی زندانها، و كاهش میانگین زمان رسیدگی به پروندههای قضایی از جمله مواردی بود كه آیتالله آملی لاریجانی در گزارش خود به آنها اشاره كرد.
رئیس قوه قضاییه همچنین با اشاره به عملكرد دستگاه قضایی در برخورد با عوامل و سران فتنه 88 و تأكید بر برخورد با سایر جریانات انحرافی، گفت: قوه قضاییه به مبارزه بیامان، قاطعانه و عادلانه خود با مجرمان جرایم خاص، قاچاقچیان مواد مخدر، سارقان مسلح، متجاوزان به نوامیس، اشرار و مفسدان اقتصادی ادامه خواهد داد.

حضرت آیت الله خامنه ای رهبر معظم انقلاب اسلامی صبح امروز در دیدار مسئولان نظام و قشرهای مختلف مردم، با تبریك عید شریف مبعث به ملت ایران و امت اسلامی، بعثت پیامبر اكرم (ص) را بزرگترین نعمت الهی و برترین و پربركت ترین روزهای سال خواندند و تأكید كردند: بیداری اسلامی ملتهای منطقه، حركتی در مسیر نبوی است و ملتهای مسلمان و ملت بزرگ ایران، با هوشیاری اجازه نخواهند داد امریكایی ها و صهیونیستها، با ایجاد اختلاف و حیله های دیگر، این حركت عظیم را منحرف و یا بر آن موج سواری كنند.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی با اشاره به «آثار تعیین كننده، بسیار عمیق و پیش برنده» دوران 23 ساله بعثت پیامبر خاتم (ص) در تاریخ و سرنوشت بشریت افزودند: نبی مكرم اسلام (ص) در همین دوران كوتاه كه فقط 10 سال آن به ایجاد نظام اسلامی اختصاص داشت، جامعه ای بر پایه های ایمان، عقلانیت، مجاهدت و عزت بنا كردند كه تمدنهای امروز بشری نیز، مدیون تمدن اسلامیِ شكل گرفته برچنین پایه هایی است.
ایشان، مشكلات و دردهای دیروز و امروز امت اسلامی را ناشی از ناسپاسی نعمت عظیم بعثت دانستند و خاطرنشان كردند: اگر ملتهای مسلمان، ایمان را در دل و عمل تقویت كنند، از عقلانیت و خرد انسانی به عنوان هدیه بزرگ الهی بهره گیرند، جهاد فی سبیل الله را در میدانهای نظامی،سیاسی، اقتصادی و فرهنگی دنبال كنند و احساس عزت و كرامت انسانی را مغتنم بشمارند یقیناً به جایگاه شایسته خود دست می یابند.
حضرت آیت الله خامنه ای، حوادث جاری در برخی كشورهای شمال افریقا و خاورمیانه را، نشان دهنده توجه ملتهای مسلمان به نعمت سعادت بخش اسلام خواندند و افزودند: بیداری عظیم اسلامی در مصر و تونس و دیگر كشورها نشان می دهد موازنه ظالمانه و تحقیركننده ای كه غربی های سلطه گر و حكام وابسته، در 150 سال اخیر بر ملتهای منطقه تحمیل كرده بودند به هم خورده و فصل جدیدی در تاریخ منطقه آغاز شده است.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی، آینده تحولات منطقه را به فضل الهی، روشن دانستند و با اشاره به لجاجت و «جان سختی» قدرتهای مستكبر برای انكار و مخفی كردن جنبه اسلامی این تحولات افزودند: امریكایی ها، صهیونیستها و مزدوران و همراهان آنها در منطقه، همه امكانات خود را به كار گرفته اند تا حركت عظیم ملتها را منحرف كنند و با روی كار آوردن عناصر وابسته، معادلات ظالمانه گذشته را دوباره حاكم سازند اما وقتی ملتی بیدار شد و جان بر كف به میدان آمد نمی توان او را شكست داد.
ایشان با اشاره به لزوم بیداری، هوشیاری و بصیرت ملتها و نخبگان جهان اسلام در مقابل تلاشها و طرحهای پیچیده امریكا و رژیم غاصب صهیونیستی افزودند: البته تحركات سلطه گران، دردسرهایی را برای ملتهای بیدار شده به همراه خواهد آورد اما به بركت هوشیاری و مراقبت مردم و نخبگان امت اسلامی، مسیر روشنی كه در منطقه آغاز شده، انشاءالله با قوت ادامه خواهد یافت.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی، در همین زمینه با یادآوری توطئه های گوناگون دشمنان اسلام در قبال پیروزی انقلاب اسلامی خاطرنشان كردند: ایجاد اختلاف، نفوذ، ترور، «درگیریهای قومی مذهبی»، فتنه انگیزی و تحریك دشمن خارجی به حمله به ایران از جمله تحركات ناكام مستكبران برای تضعیف حركت عظیم ملت ایران بوده است كه همین توطئه ها یا نظائر آنها در قبال ملتهای بیدار شده منطقه نیز طراحی و اجرا خواهد شد.
ایشان در تشریح راههای اصولی مقابله با اینگونه توطئه ها، پرهیز ملتها و نخبگان جهان اسلام از مباحث بیهوده و كم اهمیت، بی توجهی به «اختلافات مذهبی، قومی و سلیقه ای» و درك عظمت تاریخی قیام ملتهای مسلمان را مورد تأكید قرار دادند.
حضرت آیت الله خامنه ای، با اشاره به حمایتهای همیشگی ملت ایران و نظام اسلامی از هر حركت عدالت طلبانه و ضد استكباری افزودند: هرجا حركتی علیه امریكا و صهیونیسم روی دهد و هر ملتی كه بر ضد دیكتاتوری بین المللی امریكا و دیكتاتورهای داخلی قیام كند با حمایت ملت فهیم ایران روبرو خواهد شد.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی، شبیه سازی را یكی از طرحهای پیچیده امریكا خواندند و با اشاره به حوادث سوریه افزودند: امریكایی ها با تلاش برای شبیه سازی حوادث مصر، تونس، یمن و لیبی، در سوریه، سعی می كنند این كشور را كه در خط مقاومت قرار دارد دچار مشكل كنند اما ماهیت حوادث سوریه با ماهیت حوادث دیگر كشورهای منطقه متفاوت است.
ایشان افزودند: جوهره بیداری اسلامی در كشورهای منطقه، حركت ضدصهیونیستی و ضد امریكایی است اما در حوادث سوریه، دست امریكا و اسرائیل آشكار است و «منطق و معیار ما ملت ایران» این است كه هرجا به نفع امریكا و صهیونیسم شعار داده شود حركت، انحرافی است.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی افزودند: البته پایداری ملت ایران و نظام اسلامی بر این منطق و معیار دشمنان نظام را خشمگین می كند و بر توطئه های آنان می افزاید اما ملت آب دیده و مقاوم ایران، در مواضع خود سستی نخواهد كرد.
ایشان با اشاره به مظلومیت ملت بحرین افزودند: حركت مردم بحرین، ماهیتاً شبیه حركت ملت مصر و تونس و یمن است و تفكیك میان این تحركات مشابه، معنا ندارد اما متأسفانه برخی به جای توجه به حرف دل ملتها، همان راهی را می روند كه دشمنان اسلام می خواهند.
حضرت آیت الله خامنه ای در پایان سخنانشان با یادآوری كار و تلاش گسترده و پرامید دستگاههای گوناگون در سراسر كشور، موضوع ادغام وزارتخانه ها و كوچك كردن دولت را، بسیار مهم برشمردند و با اشاره به همكاری متقابل دولت و مجلس در این مسئله افزودند: اینگونه كارها باید با جدیت دنبال شود.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی با اشاره به طمع ورزیهای دشمنان به برخی مسائل و حوادث داخلی تأكید كردند: ملت ایران با ایستادگی، اعتماد و امید بی پایان به كمك پروردگار و مسئولان كشور با همكاری و وحدت كلمه، بار دیگر امید دشمنان را به یأس و نومیدی تبدیل خواهند كرد.
در آغاز این دیدار كه سفیران كشورهای اسلامی نیز حضور داشتند، رئیس جمهور، پیامبر خاتم را بزرگترین هدیه پروردگار به بشریت خواند و افزود: بعثت بزرگترین حادثه تاریخ است كه می تواند بشر را در گذر از مسیر نورانی كلمه توحید، به حیات طیبه و سعادت حقیقی برساند.
آقای احمدی نژاد جهل و غفلت بشر و ظلم و بی عدالتی طاغوتها را موانع اصلی بهره گیری كامل جوامع بشری از پیام حیات بخش بعثت پیامبر اعظم خواند و افزود: شیطان بزرگ امریكا و رژیم غاصب صهیونیستی با سركوب ملتها، جامعه بشری را از حركت در صراط مستقیم الهی باز می دارند.
رئیس جمهور، بشر امروز را بیش از هر زمان دیگر نیازمند پیام بعثت خواند و افزودند: ظهور بقیه الله الاعظم (عج) تكمیل كننده حادثه تاریخی بعثت و نوید سعادت حقیقی بشر خواهد بود.

حضرت آیتالله خامنهای رهبر معظم انقلاب اسلامی صبح امروز در دیدار اساتید، داوران، حُفّاظ و قاریان شركتكننده در بیستوهشتمین دوره مسابقات بینالمللی قرآن كریم و جمعی از جامعهی قرآنی كشور، قرآن را مهمترین وسیله و عامل وحدت، عزت و اقتدار امت اسلامی و قیام ملتهای منطقه را از نشانههای روشن تحقق قطعی وعدههای قرآنی پروردگار خواندند.
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای، مسابقات بینالمللی قرآن كریم را نشاندهنده ظرفیت عظیم و بیپایان این كتاب آسمانی برای اجتماع و وحدت مسلمانان دانستند و خاطرنشان كردند: همه ملتهای مسلمان در مقابل این هدیه بینظیر الهی خاضع و درسآموزند و این حقیقت، فرصت بسیار مهمی را برای وحدت مسلمان ایجاد میكند.
ایشان، بیتوجهی به ظرفیت وحدت بخش قرآن مجید را غفلت بزرگ ملتهای مسلمان برشمردند و افزودند: باور نداشتن به مفاهیم قرآنی و وعدههای پروردگار، غفلت دیگری است كه عملاً مانع وحدت، عزت و اقتدار امت اسلامی شده است.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی در تبیین تحقق قطعی وعدههای قرآنی خداوند، به تغییر سرنوشت ملت ایران اشاره و خاطرنشان كردند: ما ملت ایران، آیه شریفه انَّ الله لا یُغَیِّرُ ما بِقَومٍ حَتّی یُغَیِّروا ما بِاَنفُسِهِم را در عمل آزمودهایم و با قیام لله و یاری دین خدا، نصرت الهی را كاملاً درك كردهایم.
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای ایران دوران طاغوت را ایرانِ امریكا و ایران وابسته به صهیونیستها خواندند و خاطرنشان كردند: تبدیل ایران به قطب قدرتمند مقابله با استكبار و صهیونیسم، معجزهای عینی و تحقق وعده نصرت الهی است كه خداوند كریم آن را در قرآن، بشارت داده است.
ایشان قیام ملتهای منطقه از جمله ملت مصر را از دیگر نشانههای بارز حتمی بودن وعدههای قرآن برشمردند و افزودند: امریكا، جبهه خبیث صهیونیستها و وابستگان سیاسی آنها در منطقه، حتی حاضر نبودند فكر قیام ملت مصر را به ذهنشان راه دهند اما این ملت، با شعار اللهاكبر و نماز جمعه و جماعت به میدان یاری دین خدا آمد و خداوند نیز با نصرت آن ملت، بار دیگر ثابت كرد كه اگر پروردگار كسی را یاری كند هیچ قدرتی نمیتواند بر او غلبه كند.
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای در بخش دیگری از سخنانشان، حفظ قرآن را، باعث ایجاد فرصت بیشتر برای تدبر و تفكر در این كتاب الهی دانستند و با توصیه به نوجوانان و جوانان به حفظ قرآن مجید افزودند: تدبر، كلید اصلی درك مفاهیم و معانی عمیق قرآن است و حفظ آیات شریف، این فرصت را بهتر و بیشتر فراهم می كند.
در ابتدای این دیدار حجتالاسلام والمسلمین محمدی نماینده ولی فقیه و سرپرست سازمان اوقاف و امور خیریه، در گزارشی از برپایی بیست و هشتمین دوره مسابقات قرآن كریم در تهران گفت: در این دوره از مسابقات كه بمدت 5 روز برگزار شد، 96 نفر قاری و حافظ قرآن و 13 نفر داور از 61 كشور جهان حضور داشتند.
حجتالاسلام والمسلمین محمدی پژوهشهای قرآنی در قالب مقالهنویسی، برپایی همایش بانوان فعال در عرصه قرآنی، كارگاههای آموزشی تخصصی در رشته قرائت و حفظ، برگزاری نمایشگاه محصولات قرآنی و محافل انس با قرآن را از دیگر برنامههای این دوره از مسابقات بین المللی قرآن كریم اعلام كرد.

http://farsi.khamenei.ir/news-content?id=12888
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای رهبر معظم انقلاب اسلامی امروز در دیدار جمعی از اساتید، كارشناسان، مؤلفان و فارغالتحصیلان تخصصی مهدویت، با اشاره به اهمیت بسیار بالای موضوع مهدویت به عنوان هدف حركت و مجاهدت انبیاء در طول تاریخ، انتظار را بخش جداییناپذیر موضوع مهدویت دانستند و تأكید كردند: یكی از موارد مهم و ضروری در مقولهی مهدویت، افزایش كارهای عالمانه، دقیق و متقن به دست اهل فن و متخصصان واقعی این موضوع و پرهیز از كارهای عامیانه، جاهلانه، غیرمعتبر و براساس تخیلات و توهمات است.
ایشان در سخنان خود، ابتدا به تبیین اهمیت موضوع مهدویت پرداختند و با تأكید بر اینكه مهدویت در شمار چند مسئله اصلی معارف عالیه دینی است، افزودند: هدف حركت انبیاء و بعثتها، پایهریزی جهانی با چارچوب توحیدی و براساس عدالت و بهرهگیری از همهی ظرفیتهای موجود در انسان است و دوران ظهور امام زمان عجلالله تعالی فرجهالشریف نیز، دوران حاكمیت حقیقی توحید، معنویت، دین و عدل بر شئون مختلف زندگی فردی و اجتماعی انسانها است.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی تأكید كردند: اگر مهدویت نباشد، همه تلاشها و مجاهدت انبیاء بیفایده و بیاثر خواهد بود.
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای به موضوع مهدویت در ادیان الهی نیز اشاره كردند و افزودند: درهمهی ادیان الهی، تقریباً كلیاتی از حقیقت مهدویت بیان شده اما در اسلام، این موضوع از مسلمّات است و در میان مذاهب اسلامی نیز، شیعه، موضوع مهدویت را با مصداق روشن و جزئیات خانوادگی و شخصیتی فرد مورد انتظار كه از روایات معتبر و مستند شیعه و غیرشیعه، به دست آمده، مطرح میكند.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی بعد از تبیین اهمیت موضوع مهدویت و جایگاه آن در ادیان الهی و مذاهب اسلامی، به موضوع انتظار به عنوان جزء جداییناپذیر مهدویت اشاره و خاطرنشان كردند: انتظار به معنای مترصد یك فرد زنده و حقیقت قطعی بودن، است و این معنا از انتظار، لوازمی دارد كه از جملهی آنها، آمادهشدن روحی و درونی و همچنین اجتماعی انسان برای دوران متوقع و با شرایط ویژه آن است.
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای در همین خصوص افزودند: فرد منتظِر باید همواره خصوصیات و ویژگیهای لازم دوران مورد انتظار را در خود حفظ و تقویت كند و این انتطار، به گونهای است كه از یك طرف، هیچگاه نباید آن را طولانی مدت تصور كرد و از طرف دیگر هیچگاه نباید آن را بسیار نزدیك دانست.
ایشان با اشاره به ویژگیهای دوران ظهور حضرت صاحبالزمان (عج)، تأكید كردند: دوران آن حضرت، دوران حاكمیت توحید، عدل، حق، اخلاص، و عبودیت خدا است، بنابراین افراد منتظِر نیز باید همواره خود را به این ویژگیها نزدیك كنند و به وضع موجود راضی نباشند.
سومین نكتهای كه رهبر انقلاب اسلامی در موضوع مهدویت به آن اشاره كردند، ضرورت انجام كارهای عالمانه، دقیق و مستند بود.
حضرت آیت الله خامنه ای خاطرنشان كردند: یكی از خطرهای بزرگ در موضوع مهدویت، كارهای عامیانه، جاهلانه، غیرمستند و متكی بر تخیلات و توهمات است كه زمینهساز مدعیان دروغین و دوری مردم از حقیقت واقعی انتظار خواهد شد.
ایشان با اشاره به مدعیان دروغینی كه در طول تاریخ برخی علائم ظهور را بر خود یا دیگران تطبیق میدادند، افزودند: همهی این موارد غلط و انحرافی است زیرا برخی مطالب دربارهی علائم ظهور، غیرقابل استناد و ضعیف است و مطالب معتبر را هم نمیتوان براحتی تطبیق داد.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی تأكید كردند: اینگونه مطالب غلط و انحرافی، باعث میشوند، حقیقت اصلی مهدویت و انتظار مهجور بماند، بنابراین، باید به شدت از كارها و شایعات عوامانه پرهیز كرد.
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای خاطرنشان كردند: البته كار عالمانه و مستند درباره موضوع مهدویت و انتظار نیز بر عهدهی اهل فن و متخصصانی است كه علم حدیث و رجال را به خوبی میدانند و با مسائل و تفكرات فلسفی آشنایی كامل دارند.
آخرین محوری كه رهبر انقلاب اسلامی درخصوص مقولهی مهدویت به آن اشاره كردند، موضوع توسل به امام زمان(عج) و انُس با آن حضرت بود.
ایشان خاطرنشان كردند: آشنایی صحیح و علمی با مقولهی مهدویت زمینه ساز انُس بیشتر با حضرت حجت(عج) و حركت شتابانتر به سمت اهداف عالیه خواهد بود.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی تأكید كردند: در موضوع انُس با آن حضرت و توسل به ایشان نیز آنچه صحیح و مورد نظر است، توجه و توسل از دور است كه حضرت مهدی(عج) انشاءالله آن را میپذیرند اما برخی ادعاها و مطالب عامیانه درخصوص انُس با حضرت، از طریق دیدار حضوری، غالباً دروغ و یا تخیلات ذهنی است.
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای در بخش دیگری از سخنان خود ضمن تشكر از دستاندركاران، به خدمات فراوان حجتالاسلام والمسلمین قرائتی در بخشهای مختلف بویژه موضوعات نماز، زكات، تفسیر، مهدویت و مبارزه با بیسوادی اشاره كردند و افزودند: آقای قرائتی نمونهی بسیار خوب و الگوی شایستهای است زیرا خدمات ایشان همواره در عرصههایی بوده كه خلاء و نیاز فراوانی در آنجا احساس شده است و این چنین همت و تلاشی، ارزش مضاعف دارد.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی با اشاره به اینكه نیت خالصانه و برای خدا، تأثیر شگرفی در پیشرفت كارها دارد، بر لزوم استمرار و پیگیری كارهای انجام شده در عرصههای مختلف تأكید كردند.
در ابتدای این دیدار حجتالاسلام والمسلمین قرائتی، گزارشی از فعالیتهای انجام گرفته در نهضت سواد آموزی، ستاد اقامه نماز، ستاد زكات، و تفسیر قرآن كریم ارائه كرد و درخصوص موضوع مهدویت گفت: تاكنون سیصد نفر بصورت تخصصی در موضوع مهدویت تحصیل كردهاند و آموزشهای مجازی، كوتاه مدت و تربیت مربی مهدویت نیز ایجاد شده است.
وی انتشار چند فصلنامه و راهاندازی چندین سایت و مجله الكترونیكی در موضوع مهدویت را از دیگر اقدامات انجام گرفته برشمرد.

دیدار مسئولان كتابخانههای بزرگ و عمومی و جمعی از كتابداران سراسر كشور با رهبر انقلاب
http://farsi.khamenei.ir/news-content?id=16737
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای رهبر معظم انقلاب اسلامی امروز در دیدار مسؤولان كتابخانه های بزرگ و عمومی و جمعی از كتابداران سراسر كشور با اشاره به سابقه كهن و تاریخی ملت مسلمان ایران در تولید كتاب و كتابخوانی، شرایط كنونی تولید و نشر كتاب و آمارهای مطالعه كتاب در كشور را راضی كننده ندانستند و همه مسئولان دستگاههای فرهنگی و مرتبط با موضوع كتاب و كتابخوانی را به بازنگری جدی و حركتی جدید و فراگیر برای ترویج كتابخوانی و مطالعه كتاب های مفید و سالم بویژه در میان نوجوانان و جوانان فراخواندند.
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای در این دیدار با تشكر و قدردانی از زحمات مسئولان كتابخانه ها و كتابداران، برگزاری چنین دیداری را اقدامی نمادین برای احترام به كتاب و كتابخوانی بیان كردند و افزودند: با وجود پیشرفتهای اخیر در وسایل ارتباط جمعی و ارتباطات جدید و نوظهور، كتاب هیچگاه منزوی نخواهد شد و هیچ ابزار پیشرفته ارتباطاتی و فرهنگی نمی تواند جایگزین كتاب شود.
كتابخوانی، یكی از موضوعاتی بود كه رهبر انقلاب اسلامی به تبیین ابعاد مختلف آن پرداختند و لازمه اهتمام به كتاب را ترویج كتابخوانیِ همراه با تدبر دانستند.
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای با تأكید بر اینكه همه دستگاههای آموزشی و فرهنگی برای ترویج كتابخوانیِ همراه با تدبر، وظیفه دارند افزودند: از آموزش و پرورش و مدارس ابتدایی تا دستگاههای ارتباط جمعی و تبلیغاتی اعم از مطبوعات و صدا و سیما در ترویج كتابخوانی مسئول هستند.
ایشان فراگیر شدن تبلیغات كتاب و كتابخوانی در دستگاههای ارتباط جمعی و تبلیغاتی را ضروری خواندند و خاطرنشان كردند: امروز برای برخی كالاها و محصولات كم اهمیت و حتی مضر تبلیغات گسترده ای در صدا و سیما و مطبوعات می شود اما برای كتاب كه محصولی با عظمت و با ارزش است، تبلیغ و تشویق مناسبی صورت نمی گیرد.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی تأكید كردند: كتابخوانی باید به یك عادت همیشگی در مردم بویژه جوانان تبدیل شود و در سبد كالاهای مصرفی خانواده سهمی قابل قبول پیدا كند.
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای در ادامه سخنان خود به موضوع كتابخانه ها و نقش مهم كتابداران برای راهنمایی كتابخوان ها اشاره كردند و افزودند: مهمترین و سنگین ترین وظیفه در كتابخانه ها، برعهده كتابداران است.
ایشان با تأكید بر اینكه كتابداران منبع و مرجعی برای راهنمایی مراجعین به كتاب هستند خاطر نشان كردند: یكی از نیازهای كنونی، نظم مطالعاتی در میان دوستدارن كتاب است كه كتابداران با راهنمایی صحیح می توانند این خلاء را برطرف كنند.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی نقش كتابداران در جهت دهی به مراجعان برای كتابخوانی همراه با تأمل را یادآور شدند و با اشاره به اهمیت برنامه های مطالعاتی افزودند: یكی از نیازهای مهم جامعه بویژه نسل نوجوان و جوان طراحی سیر مطالعاتی در موضوعات مختلف و با تنوع مناسب است.
عرضه كتاب سالم و جلوگیری از ورود كتابهای مضر، یكی دیگر از محورهای سخنان حضرت آیتالله خامنهای بود.
ایشان درباره این موضوع خاطر نشان كردند: لزوماً هر كتابی مفید نیست و نمی توان بازار كتاب را آزاد گذاشت تا كتابهای مضر وارد جامعه شوند.

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.

Adobe has a brand new web motion and design development tool for us to preview and evaluate. It's called Adobe Edge and Preview 1 was just released yesterday. It is currently free to download and experiment with. It allows you to create and animate web based content using a web standards approach as opposed to using Flash or Actionscript. Here is the link for you to go and download preview 1 and other resources for Adobe Edge. http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/edge/
Let me know what you guys think about it after using it in the video comments area. I have not even tried it yet, I just downloaded it yesterday. But I will let you guys know whether or not I will be cheating on Flash by using this tool for my web based animations after I experiment with it. If it is nice we may even do some tutorials on it.
They would not create a tool that would kill Flash. This tool is for people that wish to make web based animations using compliant Javascript and HTML instead of Actionscript 3.0 animation projects. Which are still more advanced and simple to make than Javascript animations.
HTML5 and Javascript animation has its place, and so does flash animation. Some people say only use flash for games, but then again sony.com, doritos.com, probably made those website makers over $10,000 each. Some people do not realize that some of our clients ask for full flash websites.
Observe how powerful Flash is on the web today, but keep an open mind to using Javascript based animation in forms and where appropriate as the technology progresses. It is just a baby still and nobody has created an easy to use UI for creating HTML5 and Javascript animations. This might be it.

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.

حضرت آیتالله خامنهای رهبر معظم انقلاب اسلامی صبح امروز در دیدار اساتید، داوران، حُفّاظ و قاریان شركتكننده در بیستوهشتمین دوره مسابقات بینالمللی قرآن كریم و جمعی از جامعهی قرآنی كشور، قرآن را مهمترین وسیله و عامل وحدت، عزت و اقتدار امت اسلامی و قیام ملتهای منطقه را از نشانههای روشن تحقق قطعی وعدههای قرآنی پروردگار خواندند.
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای، مسابقات بینالمللی قرآن كریم را نشاندهنده ظرفیت عظیم و بیپایان این كتاب آسمانی برای اجتماع و وحدت مسلمانان دانستند و خاطرنشان كردند: همه ملتهای مسلمان در مقابل این هدیه بینظیر الهی خاضع و درسآموزند و این حقیقت، فرصت بسیار مهمی را برای وحدت مسلمان ایجاد میكند.
ایشان، بیتوجهی به ظرفیت وحدت بخش قرآن مجید را غفلت بزرگ ملتهای مسلمان برشمردند و افزودند: باور نداشتن به مفاهیم قرآنی و وعدههای پروردگار، غفلت دیگری است كه عملاً مانع وحدت، عزت و اقتدار امت اسلامی شده است.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی در تبیین تحقق قطعی وعدههای قرآنی خداوند، به تغییر سرنوشت ملت ایران اشاره و خاطرنشان كردند: ما ملت ایران، آیه شریفه انَّ الله لا یُغَیِّرُ ما بِقَومٍ حَتّی یُغَیِّروا ما بِاَنفُسِهِم را در عمل آزمودهایم و با قیام لله و یاری دین خدا، نصرت الهی را كاملاً درك كردهایم.
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای ایران دوران طاغوت را ایرانِ امریكا و ایران وابسته به صهیونیستها خواندند و خاطرنشان كردند: تبدیل ایران به قطب قدرتمند مقابله با استكبار و صهیونیسم، معجزهای عینی و تحقق وعده نصرت الهی است كه خداوند كریم آن را در قرآن، بشارت داده است.
ایشان قیام ملتهای منطقه از جمله ملت مصر را از دیگر نشانههای بارز حتمی بودن وعدههای قرآن برشمردند و افزودند: امریكا، جبهه خبیث صهیونیستها و وابستگان سیاسی آنها در منطقه، حتی حاضر نبودند فكر قیام ملت مصر را به ذهنشان راه دهند اما این ملت، با شعار اللهاكبر و نماز جمعه و جماعت به میدان یاری دین خدا آمد و خداوند نیز با نصرت آن ملت، بار دیگر ثابت كرد كه اگر پروردگار كسی را یاری كند هیچ قدرتی نمیتواند بر او غلبه كند.
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای در بخش دیگری از سخنانشان، حفظ قرآن را، باعث ایجاد فرصت بیشتر برای تدبر و تفكر در این كتاب الهی دانستند و با توصیه به نوجوانان و جوانان به حفظ قرآن مجید افزودند: تدبر، كلید اصلی درك مفاهیم و معانی عمیق قرآن است و حفظ آیات شریف، این فرصت را بهتر و بیشتر فراهم می كند.
در ابتدای این دیدار حجتالاسلام والمسلمین محمدی نماینده ولی فقیه و سرپرست سازمان اوقاف و امور خیریه، در گزارشی از برپایی بیست و هشتمین دوره مسابقات قرآن كریم در تهران گفت: در این دوره از مسابقات كه بمدت 5 روز برگزار شد، 96 نفر قاری و حافظ قرآن و 13 نفر داور از 61 كشور جهان حضور داشتند.
حجتالاسلام والمسلمین محمدی پژوهشهای قرآنی در قالب مقالهنویسی، برپایی همایش بانوان فعال در عرصه قرآنی، كارگاههای آموزشی تخصصی در رشته قرائت و حفظ، برگزاری نمایشگاه محصولات قرآنی و محافل انس با قرآن را از دیگر برنامههای این دوره از مسابقات بین المللی قرآن كریم اعلام كرد.

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.)
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.

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 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.

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.

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. 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.
In this brotherly dialogue with you I want to place greater emphasis on three areas:

- 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

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.

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 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.

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
