I seek refuge in God from the accursed Satan
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Refraining from discord
I welcome you, gentlemen, who have come from far away. You have come to commiserate with the residents of Qum and me and express your solidarity with the Iranian nation. I hope that with this solidarity between you and the rest of the Iranian nation, you will reach all your goals, namely freedom of the nation, independence of the country and the establishment of a just Islamic government, that is, the Islamic republic. I hope that you, the respectable people of Lorestan, wherever you are residing, will resolve the differences should they arise. My brethren! Today is not the time to entertain differences (among ourselves). Today is the day we should all be united. Together we should defend our country in a brotherly manner.
The demons are lurking
Demonic elements are lurking and are restless on their seats and wishing to return the affairs to the way they were before; these satanic minions want to hold us in captivity once again, bring back dictatorial rule and persecution and deplete our reserves. Up until now, they have done so through the monarchial regime, and later, perhaps through another means. You should stay awake and vigilant. You must defend the dear Islam and your country. If some deceitful individuals infiltrated your ranks and muttered words to cause discord, do not let them in. If some devious elements found their way into your ranks and indulged in adverse propaganda, you must know that these are devious individuals and are opposed to Islam. They are the hands of individuals who have held us captive up until now and have kept the country backward.
The importance of the working class and peasants in Islam
All of you must be united and friends of each other and of the nation. You must serve Islam. You know that you triumphed because of the unity of expression forged among you and the reliance you had on Islam. Hence, you should not forgo this unity and Islam. It is through Islam that we can make justice prevail in the entire society. The workers should know that Islam places great importance on them. Employees must realize that Islam holds all the strata of the people, in particular, the working class and the peasants, in high esteem. However, affairs will have to be carried out little by little. The government is concerned about this issue. We, too, are concerned about this, but unrest exists and there has been some sabotage causing damage that only time can heal. We have to be patient for a period; things cannot be carried out at once. It is not true that nobody is thinking of your welfare. We, as well as the government, are thinking of you, but we have to be a little patient. You were the ones that patiently bore up with life under the boots of worthless individuals and plunderers. Now, you must have patience until a home for the destitute is erected; tasks that need to be accomplished must be modified and those deserving praise will be carried out. You must be patient and tolerant and rely upon God. I hope that you will all be prosperous both in this world and in the hereafter.
Vote for an Islamic republic
In the referendum that will be held, I will vote for an Islamic republic and I am asking you to vote for it for the sake of Islam. Those who will vote against an Islamic republic are free to do so, but they should realize that this move is against the nation and Islam. I advise these people to desist from doing so; and all together, they vote for an Islamic republic.
May God make you all successful; I would like to thank you for coming here to commiserate with us.
May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
