Demanding the youth to pay respect to the religious reference authorities [maraji` at-taqlid] «1» and the clergy
The religious reference authorities and clergy of Iran
جلد ۴ صحیفه امام خمینی (ره)، صفحه ۴۳
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
To the esteemed religious authorities and leaders of Islam, may their blessings last long:
After offering you salutations, [please be apprised that] some telegrams were received from Iran; however, we were informed that there have been more, but as usual, they have not been delivered. Hence, I thank you respectable gentlemen for your kindness, and hope that you will deliver my appreciations to my brothers in any class and rank.
It is necessary to take this opportunity to ask the younger generation to pay the honorable religious authorities and the clergies the respect they deserve. The dear youth are aware that, in this crucial time, the Islamic movement is drawing closer to victory; there is nothing more dangerous than discord, and nothing more effective than unanimity among the people in the flourishing of the movement.
May God, the Exalted, bestow victory on Islam and the Muslims.

«۱»- Maraji` at-Taqlid: literally means" Sources of Imitation". Maraji` are the `ulama' who have reached the position of Marja`iyyah[ Religious Reference Authoritativeness ]because they have possessed such characteristics as justice, piety, superior knowledge, awareness and being oblivious to worldly possessions. The average people refer to them to find the answer to their religious problems, and to follow their religious decrees.
