Statements [Impotence of the powers vis-a-vis the power of faith]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
This victory that was achieved by our nation was a divine blessing; a great blessing that transformed the spirit of our nation into the spirit of Islam and the Muslims at the dawn of Islam. It was this power of faith and belief in Islam that earned us a progress that no one believed was possible. With bare hands, our nation- without any weapons- armed with the same power of faith resisted in the face of modern weaponry and the great military might and also crushed all the powers. This proves that if a nation arises in revolt while safeguarding the power of faith, then no power can confront it. All the powers and superpowers were backing the deposed Shah and at times threatening us, but the power of Islam with the blessings of the Almighty God caused us to triumph with bare hands over the big powers. I hope that this movement of Iran will become a role model for the rest of the oppressed nations. It is hoped that God will liberate the world from the hands of the arrogant oppressors and hands it over to the oppressed.
I thank you for your kindness. Convey my warm regards to your friends and the Muslims of Australia; and I implore God to bless all of you.
May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
