In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
I thank you for having come here to meet with me; and likewise, your nation. Islam is a heavenly religion that has come to enlighten the nations; to solve the problems between them; to guide them toward attainment of human perfection and to eradicate oppression and injustice. But the Muslims- generally and almost- and likewise the Muslim governments were either unaware or negligent of the secret behind the coming of Islam. All the sufferings of the Muslims in the course of history is for this very reason that they drifted away from the teachings of Islam and were unable to comprehend the guidance for which Islam arrived on the scene; or they were not able to implement them because of the grudges that they held.
The major problem of the Muslims is the same estrangement from Islam and the Qur'an. If the Muslims act on the basis of the exhortation that God, the Blessed and Exalted, has thus commanded," And hold fast, all of you together, to the cable of Allah, and do not separate;" «1» if they would act upon this one commandment and prohibition, all their problems- political, social and economic- would have been solved and no power would be able to challenge them. But unfortunately, because of the negligence of some and the indifference of some others and unawareness of yet another, they have been deprived of this affair; and till the time this divine commandment is not realized, the Muslims must prepare themselves and await more misery.
The other problem that exists is lack of understanding between the governments and the nation. The separation of the nation from the government; rather their confrontation with each other results in their weakness and has become the problem of the government and the nation. Until this problem is not resolved by the governments themselves, they will not see the light of happiness and will always suffer at the hands of traitors and foreigners.
I pray to God to awaken the Muslims and familiarize them with the Islamic duties; that they" hold fast, all of you together, to the cable of Allah," which is the basis for the removal of sufferings.
