In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Great nation of Iran! Chivalrous citizens of Tehran!
At this moment that the beloved nation's ultimate victory is nigh, it is necessary to remind you to pay attention to the following religious and divine duties, and national commitments. Opposition to these is tantamount to opposition to God the Almighty and is treachery to the nation and the Islamic movement.
1. Now that the dictatorial and oppressive apparatus has been totally squashed, evasion from any kind of destructive actions, plundering, arson and aggression is mandatory. It is a public duty to obstruct any activities of such nature, which are un-Islamic and inhuman. Those who get involved in such violent acts are traitors and are acting against the Islamic movement.
2. The nation should supervise the protection of public centers such as ministries, banks and other governmental and national centers and should not let the nation's treasury be wasted until the time order has been established by the provisional government.
Beloved nation! Do not let people of malicious intent spread the notion that now that the corrupt regime has been toppled, chaos, anarchy and sabotage have taken its place.
3. Opportunists who, donning revolutionary masks, are rallying behind the defunct regime, and are intending to slander the movement, should not be given any chance to indulge in their activities. The Muslim nation should take the initiative into its hands.
4. Officials assigned by the Islamic Prime Minister to undertake missions are soldiers of the Revolution; you must cooperate with them. Those opposed to the Muslim people must be prevented from carrying out acts of sabotage.
5. It is incumbent upon the people to leave the streets as early as possible, and converge in mosques and congregational centers. They must listen to the commands of the distinguished spiritual leaders and the esteemed preachers. Likewise, the great `ulama' and preachers in towns should go to mosques and public centers and invite the people to goodness and honesty; they should, by all means, prevent any actions running counter to religious laws and the direction of the movement. By using expressive language, they should dissuade people from perpetrating sabotage and chaos while informing them of the sacred religious edicts.
6. Now that the armed forces, the gendarmerie and the police have joined the nation, it is incumbent upon the nation to avoid any acts of aggression against them, while protecting them as if they were their own brothers. The distinguished `ulama' too should instruct the people to support the police who have come under the banner of the Islamic rule.
May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
