In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
The importance and value of sacrificing for the cause of Islam
Although I had no plans of speaking on Saturday, since you beloved youth are the protectors and the valuable soldiers (of God) and since I can see the depth of your determination in your faces, I am compelled to say a few words for you dear ones; even if it is in the form of a prayer for you.
These pictures that you are holding in your hands belong to the beloved youth that we have lost in the service of Islam and this Islamic country and who make all of us proud, and the memories of their sacrifice for Islam and the Islamic country will remain eternal. You are all supporting Islam today by God's grace. And it is not like it was in the previous regime in which you took all the pains but the benefits were reaped by the other powers. O my brothers! All your efforts today and whatever you offer in service are for your own country and for Islam. Our beloved Islam has offered great martyrs in the service of God right from the very beginning. And today, too, as you beloveds are, with God's grace, defending your own rights, your own country, and beloved Islam, you earn the same rewards as the armies of the early days of Islam in the battles of Uhud, Khandaq, «1» and the other wars. During those days, Islam was a divine trust placed in their hands which they protected by putting their lives at stake. Today, too, Islam is a divine trust placed in all our hands and we should strive to our utmost to serve and to protect it. I pray to God Almighty to grant you greater determination, stronger will, greater power, and unity among yourselves so that you can disappoint all the wolves that are lying-in-wait and are striving to revert this country to its earlier conditions.
National support to the Armed Forces
You know today that our noble nation supports you beloved ones. In the same way that you are striving in the service of Islam and your Islamic country, the entire nation, too, supports you and your beliefs from behind the warfronts and are with you. Whenever a nation supports its army, its revolutionary guards, and its other armed forces, they become invincible. And, with God's grace, may you all, with the power of your great determination, advance further at the warfronts and sever the hands of the criminals who are working on the instructions of America from your country. And may those few evil people who are sitting within this nation also join the others who have reached hell with the help of your determination and action.
May God grant all of you with good health, power, dignity, and honor and may He eliminate all the enemies of Islam from the face of this earth with His will!
May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
