Supreme Leader's Address at Tehran Friday Prayers
11/09/2009
On
the occasion of Imam Ali's (a.s.) martyrdom anniversary, Ayatollah
Khamenei the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution led this week's
Friday prayers in Tehran.
He said that
Quds Day is one the most prominent moral legacies of Imam Khomeini and
added: "By Allah's favor, next Friday the great and vigilant Iranian
nation will unanimously raise the flag of supporting the oppressed
people of Palestine before the anti-oppression nations of the world."
Ayatollah
Khamenei described Quds Day as the sign of the Iranian nation's
commitment to Quds. He said that the arrogant powers and the Zionists
are furious with the Iranian nation for keeping alive the memory of
Palestine, further adding: "The enemy has tried throughout the years to
undermine the Quds Day ceremonies, but this year the esteemed Iranian
nation will once again commemorate this day by holding rallies in
Tehran and other parts of the country. And following the Iranian
nation, many Muslims throughout the world will again revive the memory
of Quds."
Ayatollah
Khamenei described Quds Day as the manifestation of the Iranian
nation's unity. Referring to the need for preventing discord, the
Supreme Leader stressed: "The people must take care not to let some
people use the Quds Day rallies as an opportunity to foment discord
because being the standard-bearer of supporting Palestine will be
possible only though the unity of the nation."
His Eminence
delineated Imam Khomeini's political behavior and said that it was in
line with Imam Ali's (a.s.) political approach. The Supreme Leader of
the Islamic Revolution said that Imam Ali (a.s.) was lenient with his
opponents and even his enemies. "He treated the opponents and enemies
leniently as far as possible. But if no other choice was left, he would
stand up to them firmly."
Ayatollah
Khamenei referred to logical reasoning with the enemies and opponents
as another characteristic of Imam Ali's political approach and added:
"Imam Ali did not treat all people and political movements in the same
way. He distinguished between the individuals whose goals were in line
with justice but who were misled because of their ignorance and
superficial thinking and the individuals who were treading the path of
injustice. Moreover, he used to firmly stand up to deviations and
religious hypocrisy."
Elsewhere in
his speech, Ayatollah Khamenei touched on the political movements of
the past thirty years. Addressing the political figures of the country,
His Eminence said that some of these movements have been formed because
of differences in ideological principles and added: "Some of the
movements and political differences of opinion have been started
because of personal interests, but some others have been started
because of differences of opinion regarding how the principles should
be practiced. Each of them must be treated differently."
The Supreme
Leader of the Islamic Revolution delineated Imam Khomeini's treatment
of political movements and differences of opinion and reiterated:
"Following the political approach of Imam Ali, the late Imam used to
treat different political groups and movements on the basis of their
nature. The Imam used to treat political movements with leniency, but
whenever he realized that his leniency was not paying off, he used to
confront them firmly."
His Eminence
reiterated that Imam Khomeini's political approach applied to all
officials, including those above the level of the president. "At the
end of his life, whenever he felt that leniency was futile with some
people, the Imam used to confront them."
Referring to
the revolutionary and religious background of some political movements,
Ayatollah Khamenei reiterated: "Some of these differences of opinion
were rooted in disagreements over how the principles should be
practiced. On the other hand, some people had fundamental differences
and their interests were in clash. And they went as far as to confront
the Imam and the Revolution. They tried to instill false and poisonous
principles in the soul and body of the Islamic Republic. But when the
Imam felt this threat, he put his leniency aside and firmly confronted
them."
His Eminence
said that unlike differences in fundamental principles, differences in
approach will benefit society and added: "The existence of criticisms
and individuals with different views will benefit the country provided
that these differences of taste are within the framework of the
principles - that is, the principles of Islam, the Constitution, and
the Imam's recommendations and will - and not within the framework of
the so-called principles that have nothing in common with the
principles of the Revolution."
The Supreme
Leader also reiterated: "Despite what some propaganda suggests, if some
people or movements have an opposing viewpoint, the Islamic Republic
will not confront them. But if a movement turns to enmity and draws a
sword against the Revolution - which is not tolerated in any part of
the world - the Islamic Republic will confront it firmly in order to
defend itself."
His Eminence
said that the policy of the Islamic Republic is to include the maximum
number of political movements in itself and added: "The establishment
will not confront any movement unless it is forced to do so. Therefore,
political activists and movements will be free to express their views
and no one will confront them unless they resort to violence, make
efforts to undermine social peace and security, fight the principles of
the Islamic Republic, and engage in slandering and spreading rumors."
In another
part of his speech, Ayatollah Khamenei strongly advised political
activists and government officials against corruption.
He said that
lack of attention to slight slips will prepare the ground for great
deviations and the ultimate collapse of man. "Little slips gradually
corrupt people from within, and this corruption leads to deviations in
behavior and sometimes in ideology. Therefore, all of us should observe
piety and protect one another, especially our family members, against
corruption," he noted, citing evidence from Quranic verses.
Ayatollah
Khamenei said that like individuals, the Islamic Republic could also
face the danger of corruption and deviation from its path and added:
"If we are not vigilant, the policies and behavior of the Islamic
Republic will become non-Islamic and only the name of the Islamic
Republic will remain."
Ayatollah
Khamenei said that administering justice, observing moral principles in
behavior, making scientific, industrial, and intellectual progress in a
free atmosphere, and resisting firmly against the enemies and
international oppressive powers are all indicative of the fact that the
Islamic Republic is a morally healthy and non-corrupt system.
He said that
the people should stay vigilant and know that the Islamic Republic will
be considered as a corrupt system if the nation and the establishment
tread a different path. "The people should know that Islamic Republic
will be considered as a corrupt government if such problems as major
class distinctions, using freedom to promote debauchery, and weakness
before the enemies are observed in society."
Ayatollah
Khamenei said that pursuing the principles and slogans of Imam Khomeini
(r.a.) will help solve the country's problems and will help the country
make progress and maintain its grandeur and national pride. He further
added: "As was proven in the events which happened after the election,
the enemies are trying to undermine the people's support for the
Islamic Republic. And we should all stay vigilant in this regard."
Ayatollah
Khamenei said that the 85 percent turnout and the presence of 40
million people in the election was a beautiful manifestation of
people's trust in the Islamic Republic. He added: "Unfortunately, the
enemies and some people from inside the country ignore this fact and
speak about people's distrust of the establishment. But by Allah's
favor, everyone will see that the people will strongly take part in the
future elections despite the efforts of the enemies and some unaware
people inside the country."
Ayatollah
Khamenei said that it is natural for any government to have both
supporters and enemies and stated that there is no government in the
world which could be considered an exception in this regard. He noted:
"Throughout history, all governments have had both opponents and
supporters. What matters is to see who the enemies and supporters of a
government are."
Ayatollah
Khamenei said that the opposition and the enmity of the international
hegemonic powers such as the US, Britain, and the evil Zionist regime
towards the Islamic Republic is a source of pride for the nation and
should not frighten anyone.
He said that
the opposition of these powers should not cause anyone to surrender to
the enemies and added: "All the faithful and freedom-seeking nations of
the world as well as independent politicians support this nation and
the Islamic Republic. And their opposition is indicative of the fact
that the Islamic Republic is treading the right path."
At the end of
his speech, Ayatollah Khamenei urged all the people to stay vigilant
and reiterated that the people should stay vigilant against those who
are trying to create a fake Islamic Republic for the people and
undermine the attractive and valuable slogans of the Imam and the
Revolution.
Enemy has spent huge money for sowing discord among Muslims
adding, "We know that an arrogant-related center supports
financially publishing anti Sunni and Shii books.
Isn't it an alert to Muslims???
"Issuance of some books based on logical reasoning as the
Shii Uleam did is good but if somebody supposes that they could
defend Shii teachings through backbiting Sunni followers
they should know they are
sowing discord among Muslims.
This task is not defending Velayat
but defending America and the Zionists,"
Waliyy-e-Amril Muslimeen Ayatullah Syed Ali Khamenei on 12-17-2008
****************************************************
"Many of the Wahabi & Salafi elements & agents which commit terrorist acts in Iraq,
Afghanistan & Pakistan are not aware of being hirelings; however, a
Shii person who insults the Sunni sanctities, is the enemy's hireling
even if he is unaware."
Referring to the unawareness of some of enemy's hireling agents,
Ayatollah Khamenei said.
"From
the viewpoints of the Salafi & Wahabi groups, Shiis & Sunnis
loyal to Ahl-ul-Bait & Sunnis who follow the Qaderi sect are
infidels wherever in the world they are, but the reality is that the
followers of this inauspicious thought are appointed to sow discord
amongst Muslim brothers; however a Shii person who insults Sunni
sanctities ignorantly or on purpose, is appointed to sow discord; &
nonetheless the acts of both groups are religiously forbidden (haram) & against the law," the IR Leader added. Ayatullah Khamenei on 12-05-2009.
****************************************************
The Only Solution to protect "Ummah
Diginity" is "Unity":
We muslims are busy bickering over whether to
fold or unfold our hands during namaz, while
the enemy is devising ways of cuting them off.
"Roohullah Khomeini"
Yes to Unity
amongst muslims
No to shia-sunni sectarianism & other tools of
enemies & evils, which creates fitna amongst muslims
