In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
The Islamic Revolution, crossing out of the material calculations and transactions
The calculations of the experts turned out to be wrong and yet they were not awakened. Our divine movement nullified the calculations of the experts, and yet they do not take a lesson. The calculations of the materialists who assumed that it was impossible for our nation to crush the great powers with bare hands turned out to be wrong. Those who questioned how a bunch of youth working in the bazaars and teachers without having anything could defeat a regime that had everything at its disposal, realized that their materialistic calculations were void. Here, it is a divine calculation; here the Hand of God is at work. Individuals cannot create such a movement and such a force. Mankind cannot awaken all the sections in this manner; mankind cannot enable the men and women of a country; the child and adolescent of a country, to become self-sacrificing. It is the Hand of God and it is the divine will, which caused all sections of the nation to become brothers and invalidate all the calculations of the material pundits. It is the Hand of God and the will of the Blessed and Almighty God, that our elders such as Mr. Khosroushahi- Hujjat al-Islam Khosroushahi- along with this child would chant the same slogan. This is the power of God; human beings cannot. It is the power of God, which gave everybody the desire to be sacrificed and to regard martyrdom as a victory for him or her and be at the forefront. A nation for whom martyrdom is a glorious victory; a nation whose small child and aged man yearn for martyrdom, again the calculations of experts turn out wrong. By killing an individual however great, this nation shall not retreat. Once again, the Hands of the Blessed and Almighty God revealed itself and in the martyrdom of a martyr, it created such a wave in Iran and in other countries that it resurrected us; it revived Islam. If because the thought of victory had made us lethargic, it converted that lethargy to hardship and then turned it into a great barrier and resulted in all the people of Iran revolting with divine power, and for all of you to get together here- the personnel of the police forces, the Revolutionary Guards, the elders of religion. It is the Hand of God at work that we are all congregated together here with a single will. My brothers! So long as this movement is in place and so long as this divine power is present, you shall move ahead. Safeguard this divine movement, safeguard this unity of expression; safeguard this sanctity; this Islamism. So long as this divine will, and this unity of expression and this inclination towards Islam is present, you are victorious.
Victory belongs to the nation
America is wrong to think that it can achieve anything by killings and assassinations. The phony communists are wrong in their thinking; the deviant school of thought are mistaken in their thinking; the rotten roots of the former regime are wrong to think that with assassination they can hold back the sentiments of our people: instead, they have increased the sentiments- and again their calculations became wrong.
The divine calculation is other than material calculation. These that you take into account are material calculations; it is materialism. We regard martyrdom as life for ourselves. Our friends regard martyrdom as living. The doctrine of Islam is like this. The doctrine of Islam regards martyrdom as life. It is the doctrine of Islam that seats this child beside me and we hear him shouting from deep inside his throat that he is prepared for martyrdom. This is the doctrine of Islam. Do not fight with the doctrine of Islam- you cannot win. Our nation is wide-awake. If we are assassinated, our nation is present; our great nation is alive; our movement is alive. Victory be to this life. Victory be to this nation. May God grant victory to all of you, and lead all of us on the path to righteousness.
May God's peace, mercy, and blessings be upon you.
