In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Joyful days of victory and unity
What joyful days you are spending, days when you forced the enemy to withdraw. All people were united. Athletes and champions were with us, clergymen with other classes, and armed forces with you and you with armed forces advancing Islamic goals with one voice. One of the Islamic goals consists of the independence of the country, freedom for all, and the honor of all Islamic nations. I hope you, the champions, be of great use for your country and that Islamic revolution move forward with your endeavor and the efforts of, the zealous youth, and other layers of the society to make an independent, free and religious country, devoid of evils forces are dominated by the faithful. I hope that we can achieve our wishes through the efforts of you champions and other layers of people fulfillment of Islam, under which we would have everything.
Fear of Islam not justifiable
I do not know what in Islam causes these people to fear Islam? Do they fear lest Islam might not be able to preserve their independence? But it was Islam that freed the country from the clutches of foreigners and the great powers. Can Islam, which defeated all the powers supporting the regime, not protect the country? Islam forced all these countries- at the top of which was the U. S to retreat, pulling out the country from the throat of foreigners. Are they fearful lest they would lose their sovereignty? Are they sympathetic to their country and their nation and fear driving out the freedom might be do they fear the nation? Islam has offered freedom to the nation as a gift. Or do they fear Islam to give away Iran's resources to foreigners- the Islam that has attempted to preserve the resources for the nation, plunder from the country? Do they fear the resources to be dissipated?
Fear of deviants and affiliates to the former regime
What I understand is that some of these persons have been deceived and some of them are knowingly spiteful. They fear lest Islam might not let them line their pockets. They fear lest Islam should not let these plundering persist. They are not compassionate to the people and the country. I do not mean all of them, but those deviants and affiliates to the former regime. They do not want Islam to be fulfilled but want your country to remain dependent on the East and the West, since they see their interests in it. The plunderers, as you saw, plundered billions of dollars and after Shah left the country, most of them too, withdrawing their money, left Iran! They fear if Islam finds reality in all its aspects, they and their master would lose their grip over the country, putting stop to their plundering. Foregoing this, they feel concerned about the people and the country Islam restores our country. It was the power of Islam and the public faith that provided us with the victories.
Islam secures independence throughout the course of history
Throughout the course of history beginning Islam was not harmful to anybody. In the government of Imam `Ali ibn Abitalib, who can claim to have been oppressed and who can claim independence was lost country's resources were dissipated? In a government ruled by `Ali ibn Abitalib (`a), who can claim defects were present in the government?
We want a country ruled by the Shi`ites of Imam `Ali (`a) and Muslims having appreciated Islam in its real sense. We want a country characterized by Islam, ranging from its Consultative Assembly to the Assembly of Experts, army, markets and sport clubs, in which case we would fear nothing Muslim, can not bring harm to each other." Verily, the Faithful are all brethren." «1» So Qur'an made a brotherhood contract. They are afraid lest Islam might be fulfilled and they lose their interests! Foregoing this, out nation wants Islam because they do not suffer any harm from Islam and because Islam is to their interest. If Islam were fulfilled, all classes of the society would live in comfort, and would prepare themselves for the Hereafter.
May God preserve you champions for us and favor you with an extraordinary power. May you achieve inner spiritual power and edify your souls, as you are, God willing! May God sanction you? May peace and mercy of Allah be upon you!
