Message [Imminent return to Iran; warning to the illegal institutions]

 In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

Endless salutations and infinite greetings to all the zealous citizens of Iran; the honorable and courageous nation, who for yet another time expressed its demand for the elimination of the monarchical regime and establishment of the Islamic Republic on the fortieth day of the Imam of the Ummah [Imam Husayn] (`a). Although your sacred Islamic movement was accompanied with the shedding of the pure blood of the martyrs and heartrending tragedies, your freedom-seeking has been recorded in history. You ousted your main enemy and that of the country and buried the greatest traitor and criminal of the country in the dustbin of history. Through your uprising and your resistance you proved to the dispossessed nations that the modern weapons and satanic powers are not able to withstand the demand of a nation who has courageously risen up to defend its faith and rights. Also you have proved that the power of a wakeful nation overpowers all the weapons of the superpowers.
The Shah has gone and the monarchical regime has collapsed. The squanderers of the national purse have sucked out the capitals to overseas and run away one after another. The courageous nation will take them to book in the first opportunity. They have gone, but left the ruination and disorderliness behind, which must be mended by the grace of God and the determination of the nation- although it will take several years. Offering my sincere gratitude to the dear nation, I deem it necessary to mention few points:
1. God willing, I will join you soon to be at your service, try to remove the problems through your valorous efforts and hand-in-hand with you and unanimously eradicate the corruption. My dear friends prepare yourselves to serve Islam and the dispossessed nation. Fasten your belts to serve the bondmen of God, which is a service to God. By the grace of God I will be at your service within a few days and will continue my soldierhood behind you.
2. Warn the representatives of Muhammad Rida who have unrightfully occupied the two houses of the Parliament to evacuate the house of the nation so that the representatives of the nation who have been deprived of their rights for fifty years go to their own houses. And God willing you will all see what free elections and healthy parliament are. I warn them that they will be responsible for any consequences if they go to the Parliament again.
3. Once again I warn the members of the Royal Council, which is a branch of the illegal root, to quit the council and not oppose the nation anymore.
4. Once again the ground, air, and naval forces and the security forces are recommended to maintain law and order and the honorable, wakeful nation is recommended to cooperate with them.
The wakeful Iranian nation at this juncture must seriously stop the pervert persons or groups who want to create riot and betray the country in the advantage of the aliens. They must warn the rioters to give up their inhumane, anti-Islamic and anti-national acts and join the nation. I beseech the Almighty God to grant success to the nation. May God's peace and mercy be upon you.
