In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Children, nearer to Celestial work
Today marking the first opening day of school and education I have come to meet this little of elementary schools students, because they are nearer to man's primordial nature. All human beings are born according to their nature. However, after their birth, their parents convert them to Judaism, Christianity or Zoroastrianism. «2» These children are very near to celestial world. They were not exposed to the tensions we underwent from nature or during the taghouti regime. Our youths were banned from undergoing human education. These children who are here in sworn and pushing one another to draw nearer to me are my dear children whom I hold dear. They are near to heaven and remote from nature's contaminations. I hope their teachers to make a studious effort in their human and Islamic education and remote from the evil teachings in the past.
Teachers' responsibilities toward children
Schoolteachers must pay more heed to these children wherever they are. These children are the hope of our country in the future. Today's children constitute tomorrow's people and scientists. It is they who will direct our country in the future. Next to us they are the ones to fledging maintain independence and freedom of the country. Teachers must praise these fledgling children and hold them back from the bad deeds we have committed. Islam guarantees all freedom and independence. If you raise our children Islamic upbringing, your country's independence and freedom are guaranteed. Appreciate the value our children I appreciate their childish affections. I love them all as you love your dear ones. They are the apple of my eyes and the hope of country's future. I beseech the Almighty God to endow prosperity and well-being upon the children who must serve as a source of our pride in the future. I pray for you all. May God help these blooming buds flourish in Islamic milieu and training. May God keep these tender children safe under His protection and keep the light of true nature burning in them. I do not make my speech long, as these children are under pressure and feel uneasy under the warm sunshine. May God grant you prosperity and the country independence in light of your existence!
