Two important conditions for achieving the objectives of the Revolution

I am very grateful and very hopeful for this spirit that has come about in our youth in all parts of the country. Our hope is in you, the youth, those youth who served Islam and underwent hardships and who resisted the taghouti regime; and a humane-Islamic spirit has revived in all the people and this has resulted, God willing, in us being able to implement those objectives that we have and are now on the threshold of achieving them. But it has two aspects, or in other words two conditions: one condition is that you maintain this revolutionary spirit even by means of organizing marches once in a while in your respective cities so that this Revolution, this revolutionary spirit is maintained. The other which is superior to the first, is safeguarding the power of faith. It was not the Revolution alone that made us reach our destination; it was faith that made us reach our destination; it was God Who made us reach our destination. All these words, all these actions occurred by means of an invisible hand; otherwise a nation that had nothing in hand, that had no proper weapons- these few weapons that you see are war booty, you had no such thing- nevertheless, God created a situation where they could not use them; it means not that they did not have weapons; they had tanks, guns, aircraft, Phantom fighter planes and numbers but God made you victorious by means of striking `fear' in their hearts; the same fear caused their defeat.

Divine transformation in the morale of the nation

Your faith and the faith of our nation, of both the women and the men; young and old was a matter that we cannot credit to the account of individuals and personalities; a subject that in a short while resulted in young children to open up and chant slogans; small children in primary schools would strike in protest and shout slogans. It was the same in the secondary schools; the same in the universities; the same in the bazaar; the same in the factories; the same in the administrative offices. This resulted in them crossing over in multitude to the side of the nation; God caused their forces to return to the fold of the nation; the nation gained in strength; it found the strength of faith and the power of action and thereby smashed such a big power. This was not anything other than an invisible hand being at work; credit everything to God and strengthen your faith. With this faith; with this Revolution and this revolutionary spirit of yours, God willing, you shall triumph and carry the triumph to its final destination; and then God willing, it shall pass on from your own country to foreign countries and the Muslim countries. I hope that God willing, you are all successful.
It is this same transformed revolutionary spirit that gets you to march on foot despite all the means being available. It is God Who has got you moving on foot. We ourselves are not aware that these things are granted by a divine spirit to man that he undertakes such actions once in a while.
A group of young men, who were maybe lesser in numbers than this gathering, had arrived from America to participate in the Jihad for Reconstruction sometime ago. Well, this is a matter that is unprecedented; these matters such as, for example, for a group of you to come here on foot in order to let's say, be here had never taken place. This is a matter that God has brought about- and a thing that occurs at the hands of God has no defeat. God willing, there shall no longer be defeat for you. You have withstood in the face of infidelity, polytheism, oppression, and plunder and have been victorious up to this stage; and from now on also you shall be victorious. May God help you to pass like lightning the road that you have ahead of you in the same way that you covered this long distance to come here. God willing, may you all succeed, prosper and be healthy.
