In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
The need for a Cultural Revolution, which is an Islamic issue, besides the demand of the Muslim nation is already announced since some years ago. But it has not yet been put to effect. As such, the Muslim nation, in particular the faithful and committed students are dragged into anxiety and worry. Moreover they are worried about the malefic and mischievous betrayers. The Muslim fear, God forbid, to lose the opportunity without having done a positive thing. The culture may remain the same as it was during the previous corrupt regime. This important center was kept at the disposal of the colonists, which is quite evident by the output of the university. Few people were at the service of the country and Islam. Others did not do anything except harm, hurt and loss. The continuity of this havoc, which is also the desire of some groups affiliated to foreigners, will be a fatal blow to the Islamic Revolution and the Islamic Republic. Any leniency in this matter can be tantamount to a great betrayal to Islam and the Islamic country. Therefore I have vested Messrs Muhammad-Jawad Bahonar, Mahdi Rabbani Amlashi, Hasan Habibi, `Abd al-Karim Soroush, Shams Al-e Ahmad, Jalaluddin Farsi and `Ali Shari`atmadari with responsibility of forming a squad. They may solicit efficient people having obligation, and some among the professors, Muslims and workers with obligation, and the students with Faith and obligation, and the other educated classes having belief in Islamic Republic to form a consultant council to chart the program in the various subjects and adopt a cultural line of walk for future colleges on the ground of Islamic culture. Moreover, they may select professors already girded and befitting and acquainted with the matters related to revolution and Islamic training. Likewise, the schools and other training centers should be based upon the foresaid ground because they were under the management of seduced and deviated and imperialists' learning and training. By so doing, our dear sons will be protected from deviation. I wish God's success for these gentlemen in
this very sensitive issue. I pray for the glory of Islam and the Islamic countries. May God's peace be upon you.
