In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Strangers' intrigue; blocking the rule of Islam
You, who are dealing with a lot of properties on the one hand and with the poor on the other, should take care of those who want to contaminate the revolution by any means. If you make a mistake those who are either neutral or pious will warn you, but those who are looking for a weak point will magnify your mistake. They target the ideology, not individuals. There are some people within Iran being guided from outside; they do not like the revolution, the Islamic ideology to be realized as it is outside of Iran because in case of its realization, all the plunderers' aims and wishes would come to naught. So they are after finding fault with anything. For instance, when there is a massive turnout in an election, they claim that people have been forced, to vote, while they have clearly turned out at will. Such a claim was made in the case of the Assembly of Experts and people participated knowingly and freely in the election; they claimed that the elections had been rigged. Those who write booklets and papers at times will repeat their claim when the nation turns out to vote freely for the right Islamic candidates in parliamentary elections because they are essentially against Islam. They will also find fault with presidential elections. All of them have the common purpose of not letting the Islamic Revolution bloom because they are afraid of Islam.
Conspirators' fear of Islamic system
When" Islamic Republic" was announced, some people voiced objection to the term" Islamic", suggesting only republic or democratic republic. They are afraid of Islam, not of republic that could be found anywhere. They are not also afraid of the democratic republic because democracy has been imported from the West; they are afraid of Islam. This may have two reasons: a) they are either not properly familiar with Islam because of misrepresentation of Islam by westerners or b) have not been cheated and consist of those who plot to brush Islam aside.
When they found out that there is a power in this country which enables people to overcome all other powers, they decided to prevent this power; namely, Islam from thriving. The situation is worse than before because they are now like a wounded snake. They have come to realize that there is a power within Iran whereby the nation can force back all demonic superpowers. Now, they intend to defeat it. So, all of us have a great responsibility. As a clergyman, I am responsible. You also have a responsibility, since this critical activity deals with taxes and draws more attention to you and you are likely to be accused of corruption by conspirators.
Export of revolution depends on preserving prestige of Islam
We are now in an era where our revolution is likely both to succeed and to fail. In the latter case, the failure will not be limited and will last forever. Then, everybody everywhere should keep in mind that he is dealing with the honor of Islam. It is not a matter of the poor, not of the foundation; it has to do with Islam. The honor of Islam lies in your hand. If the nation managed to protect it and to prove the claim for an Islamic Republic with an Islamic content, it would be a lasting victory.
Make sure that if Islam were materialized in Iran as it really is, other countries would follow this procedure one after the other. There are some cases at present. The heads of some countries are trying to stunt such revolutions fearing that our revolution spreads to other areas. Their efforts are exercised in vain since it will spread to other countries. Now those coming from other Islamic countries say that they are looking up to Iran and want to establish an Islamic system in Iraq, Kuwait, Egypt and other parts. If we do the job well that is to install Islam as it is in Iran; other Muslim countries will follow us: besides, we will achieve victory. We want all Muslim countries to be Islamic and Islam to rule over the world or Islamic justice to prevail everywhere.
Collective responsibility, saving the face of Islam
It was the very interest in Islam that turned us victor. We are now obliged to protect the dignity of Islam, to maintain its interest and to reinforce it. We should know that we are dealing with God and that everything is in His control. We should internalize the belief that it was His will that we gained a partial victory. However, if we take care of our behavior, God will help us gain the final victory of the oppressed countries over the arrogant people.
I cannot make a statement about the quality of your job and its circumstances. You just do your job and contact the revolutionary council in case of any problems. The only thing this servant of the nation can do is to pray for you. I wish your success. Keep in mind that this worthy service has a great value before God who takes care of His poor creatures. He will also favor you who serve His poor creatures. Do your job properly and ask God for rewards. Stop caring about what others say about your performance either good or bad. You should take care that God Almighty accept it. Look at it as a worship to be accepted by God. May God protect you and help you proceed on this Islamic and human direction. I thank you all for taking such a trouble. God will support you since you take troubles for the sake of Islam and God.
