Najaf, a holy city of Shiites whose colleges trained the most prominent scholars of Islam. There is 1 of the prayer gatherings with ajatollah Ali Qazi Tabatabai – 1 of the top mystics in history.
When a young student of Hawzy (spiritual seminary) enters the room, Qazi interrupts the discussion and shows large respect to the young sajidasks him: ‘Agha sajid Ruhullah! Do not hesitate to stand firm against tyrant rulers and unjust governments. You must defy them, you must argue their ignorance!”.
Long before the Revolution
It was a time erstwhile in Iran no 1 even thought of the revolution, and Ayatollah Qazi himself was to die long before it exploded. Witnesses amazed by this conversation, did not realize what had just happened. This young boy is Ruhollah al-Mousavi al-Chomeini, and a fewer decades later, it is to take the lead in the Revolution, overthrowing the puppet government and bringing the Iranians into the way of God. erstwhile people remember this incidental after years, it becomes clear what Qazi meant.
As the oppression under the Pahlavi dynasty becomes unbearable, clergymen in turbans during mosque sermons are increasingly harshly speaking on the subject of subordinate power of chess to the Americans and Israel. Among them came Khomeini, who paid for his rebellion with his imprisonment, killing his boy and years spent in exile. But he was not the only one. Many clergymen and devout people suffered martyrdom at the hands of Savak (secret police).
Knowledge and Mysticism
Although there were people who stood in opposition to Khomeini's views promoting political activism, the majority supported him and shared a common imagination with him on spiritual issues. 1 of his friends was Ayatollah Bahyat. He gained the top cognition (so-called ’ilm) in spiritual matters as well as in mysticism (so-called irfan). This was a legacy of his 16-year journey to Najaf and Karbala and the teachings of the top scholars in history. Bahyat supported Sajid Khomeini, believing that he had reached a spiritual path, a degree called Fana fi Allach. Time limit irfan means unification with God; the demolition of one’s own ego and individual limitations in God. The condition of entering this way is to suppress temptations and turn the heart toward divinity, and its obstacle is to plunge into the material world. Purified ones who have achieved specified a degree become God's "hand" on earth. Which means that their action is simply a reflection of the full and absolute submission to God's will.
Chomeini's Testament
Looking for information about Chomieni, I reached for a book, among others Sahifeh ya Imam and Imam’s final discorseWhich is Chomeini's will and which I received as a gift from the imam Taha Zhuka*. He got it from Ayatollah himself. Chamenei, during 1 of his trips to Iran, in 1992, at the turn of January and February. It was a time erstwhile the Revolution tradition was inactive alive, and the formed fresh muslim power invited Shiite delegations from all over the planet to conferences. Chamenei was already a deputy to Chomeini at the time, and his task was to take care of abroad delegations, including from Poland, whose associate was imam Żuk.
Because I felt that Khomeini was specified a prominent figure that he should talk in his own name, I explained any of his speeches below, giving him a voice and adding memories of another people close to him and witnesses to events chronologically.
Qum occupied by the chess army
(13 May 1978, Iraq, Najaf, speech to Iraqi students and clerics)
I don't know where to start. Should I talk about human misery or about joy? Today, poorness reigns throughout Iran, yet it is poorness that precedes the good news. As I predicted earlier, erstwhile these dictators, despots and thugs, foretell and actually see their own fall and their own death, and the end of their political power is in sight, they get angry. They completely lose self-control and act in a state of madness and insanity in contact with people. The Iranians are now eyewitnesses. And even you, gentlemen, to a lesser extent. presently Qum, the center of a spiritual institution, the center of muslim jurisprudence, lies in the clutches of a well-equipped Mongolian army. Well-equipped army Muhammad Rida Shah Is worse than this. Genghis Chana. People's homes, according to what we've been told, are searched 1 by one, and no 1 knows what they're looking for. Military troops are now stationed in Qum with weapons, tanks and device guns and all theological centers and houses struma (spiritual) are, as frequently happens, under police and army observation. They attacked houses. Mares (highest scholar), committing execution and crime there. Future Information received present that any struma They're in the infirmary now.
Supporting the movement
(13 October 1978, speech to a group of Iranian students and residents in Paris, situation in Iran)
Never before has past witnessed specified a movement as the 1 presently taking place in Iran. Never before in Iran's past has there been specified a movement that all Iran was created together; where small children shouted, "Death to chess"; where old people besides cried, "Death to chess." No – specified movement has never been seen in Iran before. Don't let this decision go down, keep him alive, so we can get free of those who now regulation us, so we can get free of this governing body and replace him with an honorary, uncorruptible government. May the Almighty God preserve you all; may it succeed. May the Almighty God remove this evil from the power of Muslims; may he remove the evil of these "super powers" that they may never again call their puppets to regulation Muslim lands [publicity calls out: amen; individual in the audience: may God defend you, Imam: May you succeed].
American agricultural reforms chess
(referring to the 1963 alleged White Revolution of Chess, which aimed, among others, at privatising industrial plants and reforming agriculture in the name of American interests)
People shout, “We want our oil to be ours, for God's sake; we want our country's agriculture to return to what it utilized to be.” They truly made a mess of our agriculture. These "agricultural reforms", which you yourself proposed to chess and which you spoke so highly of, were "agricultural reforms" to be implemented in accordance with the instructions of the US Government. These reforms aimed at creating a marketplace in which Americans could sale their goods, which means that our agriculture was about to collapse, making us dependent on others in terms of our agricultural needs. And indeed, present we see that everything we want must come from abroad. This is the state to which our agriculture has been brought; and that is why they have done so to bring about agricultural reforms. Those mediocre farmers who could no longer live on the earth were coming to cities and Tehran. Many slums can now be seen in Tehran – between 30 and 40, according to a study sent to me. They consist of houses built of clay, houses that have nothing; or tiny tents, in each of them 10 household members must live throughout the cold winter. There's no water in these houses. They are located in a deep bottom, from where you gotta beat about 50 to sixty degrees to get to the surface of the street. After going to the surface and taking the water, take it back up the stairs and give it to the children. But why did things turn out this way? That's due to the fact that he (check) ordered "agricultural reforms"! It was these agricultural reforms that caused the peasants to fall and consequently forced them to go to cities. In this way they did indeed come to the cities, and here is the result. These mediocre souls lived like this, and our agriculture was ruined. According to experts and people who have made the essential calculations, Iran, erstwhile an crucial agricultural centre, whose state of Azerbaijan itself was most likely producing adequate agricultural products to meet the needs of the full nation, and the remainder of the country's production had to be exported, now has adequate agricultural products to meet home request for a period of thirty-three days, and the remaining needs must be imported from abroad!
National protest against chess and America
No wonder the Iranian people united in protest. All Iranians are presently expressing discontent and strike action is being taken throughout the country. If the military and military law had been removed, people would have disposed of this government in no time due to the fact that they had seen his wickedness. Can it truly be that they want to give these people freedom, and people do not like surviving in comfort?! Do people not like having a good life?! Or do these mediocre people actually see how wealth is taken distant from them while they must live underground, and this is the situation they are opposed to? So look what Mr. Carter said and what people say. People ask why oil is taken from them, and it's free. They (imperialists) take our oil, and gentlemen here say they bought guns instead. But what do they want with this gun? The weapon they bought is simply a weapon Iran doesn't know. Iran can't usage that weapon. These things that the imperialists produced can only be handled by the devils themselves; the Iranians do not know how to handle them. abroad advisors came to Iran to exist. They have come to transform our government into a parasitic regime, which is indeed now and research better ways to participate in these reward fishing and to keep the state of affairs as it is. They want to keep status quo And keep the Iranian people quiet. A nation that speaks is an uncivilized nation! The nation that cries out, “For God's sake, let us be free” is an uncivilized nation! The nation that cries out, "Do not devour our riches," is an uncivilized nation! But they, the imperialists and their puppets, are not uncivilized. They're progressive. They must devour the wealth of the people. They must plunder and plunder!.
Our nation, from young children to the elderly, is now making itself known, expressing its discontent, due to the fact that people see their country fall in front of their eyes; they see it decaying. alternatively of listening to the cries of the nation, as they should, we see people lose their lives and how their children are killed, and the government insists that it must do so. That's why he's inactive killing. Hence the current state of affairs in Iran and the situation between these powerful governments and us. We're committed. You and I, who are now sitting here, have a work to join the Iranian people in his cries of protest; this means that we must do everything we can to aid them.
In unity, strength
(fragments of political and spiritual will, after the Revolution victory)
"At this point, I would like to say that this political-religious will is not made solely for the noble people of Iran. Rather, it is recommended to all muslim nations and oppressed peoples of the world, regardless of religion and nationality."
The unquestionably secret of the permanence of the muslim Revolution is the same thing that caused her triumph. The nation already knows the secret of the triumph of the muslim Revolution, and future generations will read in their past textbooks that the 2 main components of the muslim Revolution were its ideology based on God and the solidarity of the nation across the country with 1 motto, with the same spirit and for the same purpose. I advise all generations present and future who want to witness the further life of divine governments and besides witness the elimination of influences of colonialists and exploiters in and outside the country, that they can do nothing better than to preserve the same theocentric feeling that the Most advanced Lord emphasized in the Holy Quran; a feeling that helps us to forget the individual differences.
The advanced global propaganda machine, which is simply a spokesperson for our enemies, as well as their local branches, uses all its resources to spread rumors and lies causing divisions and spends billions of dollars on it for an apparent purpose. It is akin with trips to the cities of the region, enemies of the muslim Republic of Iran, among which unfortunately are any Pharisees in turbans, rulers and leaders of any Muslim nations who are non-protesting servants of the United States. The demolition of dividing and destructive propaganda should be a substance of concern to the Iranian people and Muslims around the planet present and tomorrow. I advise Muslims, especially the Iranians of the modern era, to respond to all hostile propaganda to strengthen their ranks and unity by all means and thus discourage the unfaithful and hypocritical enemies of Islam and the muslim Revolution.
Politics is an inherent aspect of Islam
One of the noticeable plots in this century, and especially in the past fewer decades and the time of the triumph of the muslim Revolution, is the widespread worldwide propaganda aimed at scaring the nations, especially the sacrificial people of Iran, in order to origin him to lose religion and trust in Islam, so that they would yet quit it.
Sometimes they do so directly, suggesting, for example, that the edicts of Islam, which were issued 1,400 years ago, cannot under any circumstances constitute laws on the basis of which the countries of this century can be managed; that Islam is simply a reactionary religion that opposes all innovation and manifestations of modern civilization; that in this age no countries of the planet can reject planet civilization and its manifestations.
And akin foolish, malicious propaganda, nicely packaged and offered in the form of a “proislamic” and under the pretext of supporting the holiness of Islam, says, among another things, that Islam and another divine religions should be afraid only with spirituality, thus encouraging them to quit earthly activities, to ascetics, to engage in acts of worship, prayers and services that bring closer to God and distance them from the material world; and engaging in the administration of the state, government and politics is in their opinion contrary to this lofty and spiritual purpose, due to the fact that this second activity is intended only for this material world, which, according to them, is contrary to the teachings of the large prophets.
Unfortunately, specified propaganda affected any clergymen and faithful Muslims who were not decently trained in muslim teachings. This effect was so clear that any naive Muslims considered engagement in government and politics to be a dense sin and evil. This is the misfortune that is affecting Islam.
We gotta admit that the first group either has no thought about government, law and politics, or pretends to be ignorant. Enforcement is based on equality and justice; the prevention of cruelty and dictatorship; the promotion of individual and social justice; the prevention of corruption, prostitution and another perversions; the alternate designation of civilian liberties based on reason and justice, independency and self-sufficiency; the suppression of colonialism, exploitation and serfdom; the penance and limits of punishment or retaliation in nature and on the introduction of justice to combat corruption and wrongdoing in the world.
Politics and governance of the community according to reason, equality and justice are not something that can be obscured or eroded in the course of human past and life on earth. This message is tantamount to the claim that the principles of reason and mathematics request to be changed and replaced present by another rules. It is absurd to claim that social justice, which should have been practiced since the beginning of creation, and the crimes and atrocities which should have been avoided – can no longer be practiced in the atom age. The claim that Islam opposes innovation is just as stupid as the claim Muhammad Reza Pahlavithat "in today's times (spiritaries and supporters of the muslim Revolution) want to travel on quadrupeds".
This is nothing but a pointless accusation, due to the fact that if innovation and fresh features of civilization mean inventions, fresh discoveries, industrial advancement and so on, let them take into account the fact that neither Islam nor any another monotheistic religion has always opposed specified things. The Qur'an and Islam put much emphasis on discipline and industry. But if modernism and civilization mean, as any professional intellectuals claim, freedom to commit wrongdoing, prostitution, or even homosexuality, then all God's religions, men of reason and discipline argue it, although any people with pro-Western or pro-Eastern tendencies can blindly advance these things.
However, the second category of enemies of Islam, plotting more cruel plots, claims that religion and politics are not compatible and cannot be combined. These ignorant people must realize that the Holy Qur'an and traditions of the Prophet of Islam contain more lessons, decrees and commands on governments and politics than on any another issue. In fact, many muslim spiritual laws besides have political aspects. Failure to do so frequently resulted in disasters. The prophet of Islam founded a government the same as any other, but that he promoted social justice and equality. The first caliphs of Islam enjoyed vast governments. Sovereign Governments Imama Ali (peace with it) having the same goal, but on a much broader scale and dimension, are far besides well known in history. However, after Ali, gradually governments became muslim only by name. Even today, there are many governments who claim to be Muslim, but they are not.
In my last will and will I only mention these points in vain, and I hope that historians and sociologists will make Muslims see their mistakes in this regard. The claim that the prophets and the imams dealt only with moral and spiritual matters, and the government dealt with secular or temporal matters, will be rejected by them and is pathetically wrong.
The adherence to this baseless claim leads to corruption of muslim nations and opens the way for bloodthirsty colonialism. And on the contrary, this thought is indeed satanic; dictatorial governments; domination, lust for power and lust for riches; in short, all earthly things that make man leave the Lord. However, God’s regulation is in the interests of those who are expropriated and oppressed and is designed to prevent cruelty and injustice. Social justice is established, as did the Prophet Solomon and the Prophet of Islam (peace with them). Maintaining justice in society is an work in Islam and is considered a lofty act of adoration and worship. A healthy policy that exists on the basis of these principles is essential. A vigilant Iranian nation must neutralize these plots, relying on muslim thought. Let writers and preachers emergence and aid the nation defeat the plotting devils of our time.
Khomeini spiritual leader Hezbollah
(recollection of Hassan Nasrallah of the first gathering with Ayatollah Chomeini and the beginning of the Lebanese opposition Movement)
... 9 representatives were elected on behalf of brothers supporting the Resistance, including a martyr sajidaAbbas al Moussawigoto address this crucial issue (pp. MS – against Israel). Of course, I did not belong to these 9 people due to the fact that at that time I was young, I was about 22 or 23 years old. These 9 people traveled to Iran and met with officials of the muslim Republic of Iran. They had a gathering with the imam Khomeini, during which, presenting to him a study on the latest events in Lebanon and the region, they presented their proposal to make an muslim opposition front. They said to Imam: “We believe in your leadership, your authority (religious— vilayahAnd your leadership. Tell us what we must do.”
In response, Ayatollah Khomeini insisted that they consider it their work to defy and defy the enemy with all their might, even in the case of limited resources and a tiny number of warriors. It was a time erstwhile Hezbollah had less members. He said: ‘Start from scratch: trust in Almighty God and do not wait for anyone in the planet to aid you. trust on each another and know that God is helping you. I see you as winners.”
It was an amazing thing. Imam found this way successful. Thus, the meeting, during which our brothers met him, laid the foundation stone for the establishment of the muslim opposition front under the happy name "Hezbollah" in Lebanon.
Hidden Note
(Memoir of Ayatollah Chamenei, current Iranian Leader of 29 January 1990)
Many years ago I saw his note in the memory book of the late Mr. Vaziri in Yazd. The deceased Mr. Vaziri took me to his home; he brought and opened a note; "Rise for Allah," which he placed in a box and hid in the corner of his house. He showed me this imam note that was written in the 1940s. His writing focused fundamentally on the case of Allah.
This deep man with his wise imagination wrote a note about the uprising for the origin of Allah according to what he felt was appropriate, what people should do, and what he felt was his work in time just after the suppression Khan Rezy. He wrote a page or two. This letter did not point to impulsive action, alternatively it showed that in his honorary head and at all stages of his life "The emergence for Allah's origin with another individual or alone" was a habit.
Thank God, for all of us and the people of Iran, nothing remains hidden in the life of our imam. Everyone saw that his actions, words and silence were for the origin of Allah, and everything he had done was intended to emergence up due to Allah. This is why this large man, surely of advanced rank, like prophets and imams, could execute a miracle. What happened and the large global transformation that followed the muslim Revolution is simply a real miracle. The miracle was done by Ayatollah Khomeini. He was able to do so on the basis of this sentence, "Say, I exhort you only of 1 thing, emergence up only for the sake of Allah..." [Koran; 34:46]."
Final word
Imam Khomeini after 14 years of exile only 2 weeks after the escape of chess returns to Iran on February 1, 1979. It is estimated that the Iranians who welcomed him were at least 3 million.
On 11 February, he announces the creation of an interim government which, on 30-31 March 1979, asks all Iranians over 16 to vote in a referendum on the declaration of the muslim Republic as a fresh form of government and system. The overwhelming majority, due to the fact that over 98% of the votes, the nation advocates the creation of a republic based on the law of the Quran instead. Sealing his destiny as Western Hegemon's top enemy.
Khomeini himself comments: “The U.S. and Israel are hostile to the essence of Islam due to the fact that they respect Islam, the book, and the sun as an obstacle to the way to plunder. They know that Iran rose against them, started the revolution and prevailed, following the Quran and the Sun."
