In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Expressing sympathy with the disabled of revolution
I feel sorry more and more when I face and hear about four millions of disabled people. I do not know whether this four million belong to the revolution or not. In any case, there may be many who have been disabled during the revolution; it is a pity to have such disabled youth. There have also existed many others whom we have lost. However, in lieu of that loss we have gained a lot. They have saved the face of Islam and Iranian nation, which the enemies worked to besmirch. God awakened the nation to thwart this demonic plot and to remove this taghouti barricade.
I hope we can repair these damages and fill the gaps in Iran. I wish the disabled people would be cured. God will reward those who deal with the disabled. May God grant you health and bliss so that you can do good? You should try to serve your brothers who have been disabled on this cause. I will respond to your request «1» after studying that. Thank you all. May God bless you all!
[After the speech by one of a martyr's spouse from Isfahan, Imam Khomeini said:]
I express my condolence to you and the other relatives of martyrs and sympathize with you and the nation who have endured the sufferings. What makes disasters easy to bear is the fact that you have suffered the afflictions to support the divine orders and Islam. Our leaders have sacrificed everything they had for Islam. May God grant you patience and bless them!
