In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
The great Revolution
This great Revolution of our nation; this great, historical Islamic movement of Iran has reached thus far that we have come till the overthrow of the corrupt regime; till the severance of the hands of stooges of the foreigners; till the attainment of freedom; till the attainment of independence. These who circulate statements among our people questioning the ability of the Islamic movement at this halfway mark must know that what the people did was unparalleled in history. This movement has not reached its final destination; at this halfway stage, it accomplished a great feat that nullified the calculations of the calculating experts.
The Islamic Revolution, a stamp of invalidity of worldly equations and calculations
Materialistic calculating experts had not been able to foresee how a nation with bare hands could achieve victory over satanic forces who were armed with all sorts of modern weapons; with all modern ships-none of which our nation possessed and was all in the hands of the enemies of the nation. It was impossible and they regarded it to be impossible to smash this evil power and this huge barrier. Now that they have seen that with divine power- which is contrary to all material balances and has stamped the seal of invalidity on all materialistic doctrines; now that they have witnessed how a nation that had nothing managed to defeat the powers that had everything- and this is itself a negation of materialism- have fallen on their feet asking" what happened?" What more could have happened than this?"
Today, all of you are here, and say whatever you want in absolute freedom. What a blessing has been given to you; who other than Islam gave this to you? Those who question what Islam has done are aware of what Islam has done; they do not want Islam to progress. It is not that they do not know what has happened. They know quite well that all their plots have been in vain; they know that the great powers have been crushed; they know that this great satanic barrier has been smashed until eternity, but they want this movement not to go further and are therefore asking what happened. What do you wish to happen?
We assume that nothing else will happen; what more do we want to happen? We have cut off the hands of the devils; our nation chopped off the hands of plunderers from its people and its country. What could be greater than this? It has broken the chains of subjugation; it has thrown out the American and others too. What else do you want to happen? What do you mean by `what happened? '
Small group obstacles on the way to the progress of Iran and Islam
We would like to go forward by God's will. We want to push forward this movement so that welfare, in this world and the hereafter can be realized for this country. These devils do not wish to see the realization of these objectives.
These devils are afraid of Islam, they had perceived the strength of Islam; they have understood the power of the people; they know the meaning of unity of expression. Now, they try to tarnish the image of the Islamic republic in the eyes of the people. They ask `what happened? What do you want to happen? You do not let us take the next steps. You move among the people- among the peasants- and sow the seeds of discord so that the objectives of agriculture are not achieved. Our government wants to get agriculture on the right track and so do our nation, but you do not allow it to happen. You traitors do not allow. Our government wants to get the factories to operate so that welfare is realized, so that the wheels of the country begin to move, but you devils do not allow. We want this unity of expression to be maintained until the very end.
We want this movement to bear fruit in a manner that befits Islam; in the manner, that God has ordained. You devils indulge in sowing the seeds of discord. Everyday, on one pretext or the other you create infighting among the people, and compel them to stage demonstrations. You prevent the realization of that which must be realized. What do you mean by" what happened?" Let us to do our job and see what will happen.
Eradication of the roots of oppression and exploitation through unity and perseverance
My brothers! My brothers from Tabriz! My brothers from Fars! My brothers from Isfahan! Other brothers who have come to this place from various parts of the country. While I am thankful to you, I must caution you to be alert, to beware. Nullify the cunning plans of these people. Do not permit these discord-mongers to infiltrate the ranks of the people and cause them to disperse. Be a single rank." God loves those who fight in His cause in ranks as if they were like a solid structure." «1»
Safeguard this great barrier that destroyed that big barrier. Safeguard these drops that turned into a colossal flood; these units that obliterated all the obstacles from their path like a great flood. March forward with this great flood and destroy all the roots of oppression and tyranny.
Cut off the hands of traitors. Do not let these traitors enter your factories. They have no pity for your condition, they are afraid of Islam. They have felt the power of Islam; they realized what Islam really is. Moreover, they realized that none of the superpowers could resist the power of Islam; while they want to prevent this movement from fruition.
But the devils and the discord-mongers should know that they are wrong in their thinking! These devils and evil ones should realize that they do not have such power.
The power that devastated that big barrier will nullify these trivial drops too. We will give complete freedom but not freedom for conspiracy, corruption, or sabotage. Conspiracies must be nullified. Saboteurs must be stopped; the remaining rotten roots of the evil regime and its filthier supporters must be eradicated. We will uproot them all.
Teacher's great status and his grand mission
I thank you the sons of Islam, who gathered here, and all strata of the people; and I pray for all. I should accentuate that the teacher's status is very lofty; there is no greater status than that of the teacher; it is so great that even the Blessed and Almighty God has respected it much. Therefore, it is very great responsibility; and the higher the status, the greater will the responsibility be.
The responsibility of educating the youth is not an insignificant one. The whole nation must be teachers- teachers of their own children. All the individuals of Islam must be teachers, and all its individuals' pupils. Women too must be teachers for their children and educate them just like masters and teachers. Fathers must be teachers to their own children. Your family must be a school teaching the tenets of Islam, and polishing the behavior of the young ones. You must present refined children to the teachers and the teachers must refine them further.
O teacher! Wake up!
The teachers have a lofty position and a very great responsibility. If our teachers are negligent in their imparting of education, they are answerable. It is the teachers who can safeguard the country, who can safeguard the independence of the country.
Our youth who are to hold the future of the country in their hands must be trained under the guidance of teachers. If they are trained into righteous individuals then a righteous country will be inherited by us; and if God forbid, the education becomes non-spiritual, then our country will perish. O teacher! Wake up!
I pray to the Blessed and Almighty God for the success, health, and happiness of all of you and all sections of the people and all Muslims in all lands.
May God's peace, mercy, and blessings be upon you.
