speech [Necessity of electing discerning and committed individuals, to the Parliament]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

Tonight we are in the presence of the glowing faces of the prolific youths of Iran, who are making efforts at the steel mills. I would like to thank you, respectable youths and women, who have come to see me and express your kindness and I implore the Exalted God for the prosperity of all of you. We hope that, with the lofty endeavors taken by you, the youth and women and other youths, we will be able to complete our journey in this path. You have witnessed that we reached this point through unity of expression and reliance on the Exalted and Blessed God and you have taken this movement to this stage; you must traverse the path up until the end. May God grant you success to be able to maintain your unity of expression and reliance on the great God. It is through reliance on the great God that we can traverse this path, which teems with afflictions and chaos. It is through reliance on the great God that we can get rid of the chaos in the country and rebuild the ruins.

You participated in the referendum and took it to fruition, the Islamic Republic was erected, and the (Shah's) treacherous government and the tyrannical monarchy are buried forever. However, we are still halfway through our path. With your endeavors, unity of expression and reliance on the great God, we should take( this movement )to its final destination. After this stage, we have the elections for the Constituents Assembly. You must have the will power and elect committed individuals who will work hard for Iran and not for foreign powers, someone that has faith in God, not a leftist or a rightist, but one that treads the straight path. After this stage, there will be the Consultative Assembly to which righteous, committed individuals who are gifted with insight and are not deviated, should be elected through the determination of all people of Iran and the laudable will power of Iranian men and women; so that Islam will be implemented in its true sense and its absolute truth, the Islam the way it was implemented in its early days and not the Islam which was suppressed during the time of these father and son and none of its aspects could not be introduced. We should introduce Islam the way it is and present the Qur'an the way it is. If Islam and the Qur'an are introduced to the world the way they really are, everyone will embrace them. Deviation arose because people had not known Islam. If they know Islam and understand Islamic decrees, they will all accept them.

I would like to bring this to the attention of you, the young people, not to let unity of expression slip off your hands. Individuals who come to factories and spread poisonous propaganda are foreign agents; most likely, they are American agents. Defy these people; take no heed of them. They want to sow corruption; they want to return Iran to its previous situation. Their interest is in thievery being a prevalent practice; they find their interest in the existence of plundering. If Islamic justice exists, plunderers' hands will be severed and they do not want to see the plunderers' hands cut off. They go to the factories and launch propaganda in such a way that seems acceptable to the people, but in fact, they are after the revival of previous issues. You should carefully take heed and confront them with vigilance. Do not let them infiltrate the ranks of the youth. May God protect you from the evil of Satan and may He safeguard our country from evildoers and foreign powers, so that, our country will remain independent and free for us, and so that we work in it and benefit ourselves. Peace be upon you dear friends and may God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
