In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Brotherhood and not leadership
I welcome the dear students who will manage this country from now on, and who have attended this session.
My dear students, what is of importance to me is brotherhood and not leadership. God, the Exalted and the Blessed, has called us brethren in the Holy Qur'an: O the believers are but brethren. «1» The concept of leadership is not brought up in Islam. Basically, our Islamic leaders, although they were spiritual leaders, never pretended to be material leaders. I prefer to call myself as your servant, rather than as your leader.
I hope I could help you and be at your service during the (remaining) days I am with you. I hope all of us will keep our ranks united in one line, with nobody ahead or behind one another as brothers in faith. We must move forward united. By relying upon the Blessed and Exalted God, we will triumph.
The turning point in the history of Iran
The Almighty God has promised victory for the deprived. Now we are witnessing examples of this kind of victory I hope this turning point will affect not only all Muslim communities, but also the world of the deprived. I hope you will realize that this Islamic government is based on brotherhood, and not on a governor or governed relationship; I hope you will understand that this government relies on kindness and love and not on superiority of the governors; neither is it a rule of the high class over the low class. I hope we could meet with success now that the morale of our youth is so high and the unity among our citizens is so sublime and the concern for Islamic decrees and commands is so great.
We hope to succeed in the light of our reliance on Allah and our unity
My dear brothers, children and sisters: always try to keep your unity. Avoid quarrelling for insignificant affairs which are based on worldly considerations and which in turn are rooted in satanic deceptions. Today, Islam and the Holy Qur'an are in your hands. You must propagate their teachings and instructions and raise Islam's banner at every corner of the world. This will take place only if you could keep up your unity. If, God forbid, you were not serious in this affair, our success would be delayed. You are aware of the conspiracies and plots against us everywhere. The corrupt roots remaining from the old regime are coming together. You, dear university students, should come together to cooperate with one another. There are some filthy hands which are attempting to bring forth division among the layers of our society. They would take advantage of these divisions. Try to keep your unity. Do not forget to rely on God for His assistance. You should depend on the Holy Qur'an, as well, to improve in life. I hope in the near future you will reach success and I am positive that Islam, the government of justice, which has been concealed from the people at its schemes which have not been carried out so far, will materialize with the assistance of our staunch youth, brothers and sisters like you.
May God provide you with victory and keep you under the protection of Islam's men of God. Move straight ahead and drive the Satan away.
May God's peace and mercy be upon you.
