Message [The need for the commemorating of Days of God]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
And remind them of the days of Allah «1»
Remembering the Days of God which God Almighty has ordered (to observe) is constructive for man. The events which have taken place on the Days of God are educational and awakening for history and human beings in the course of history. The great events of history cited in the Holy Qur'an are blessed examples for transforming societies, human individuals of our age which is the age of revolution. They are particularly illuminating in revolutionary Iran, which experienced many great events, that can be remembered as Days of God. We should remember them, as they are lessons of the revolution for the heroic nation and brave mujahids (strugglers).
Shahrivar 17 is one of the Days of God and we must keep its memory alive and hand it over to future generations. The sacrifices of the brave people of Iran in the cause of Islam and the brutality of the butchers of the monarchical regime on this day and similar days are valuable lessons of sacrifice. These sacrifices have introduced the oppressed and courageous nation and the criminal Pahlavi regime in the course of history so that future generations will know that the Islamic Republic found reality thanks to sacrifices of the nation. By doing so, they will preserve this great divine gift with courage and sacrifices of their dear ones.
Shahrivar 17,1357 and similar days are many in pre- and post-revolution period. The struggling people of Iran victoriously, honorably and proudly rose up to suppress oppressors. This revolt radiated the divine manifestation and endless power of faith in the unseen across the world. And the shining sun of Islam was introduced to the world, particularly to the oppressed and innocent people, teaching them the blessed lesson of selflessness in the cause of God. Let the blind-hearted in and outside of the country do and say whatever they wish. Let them commit any crime that dwarfs that of the munafiqin's and their more criminal colleagues. Let them delight in the blasts in public places. Such moves are the workings of vanquished criminals and any simple person can commit such crimes in the name of armed struggle for the liberation of the people and stage street fights for the downfall of Islam and Islamic Republic. Such acts only delight these people and brutes like them, not to mention the mass media apparatus at the command of super criminals, which use them as propaganda objects against Islam and the Islamic Republic.
The noble people of Iran should admit that the miserable munafiqin «2» and their cohorts outstrip the criminals of history and outshine the ignoble ones of the world in their villainy and rascality. I don't think you can find any group so criminal and ignoble, as this munafiqin splinter group. These rascals claim to be followers of true Islam and the Holy Qur'an and condemn the verses dealing with hudoud (penance or punishment ordained by Islamic canons) in the most brazen and blasphemous language. They chant the slogan of support for the people and treat them the way you see, killing in cold blood the workers and the weaker strata of people in the street. They plant bombs and call it street fight and claim to be powerful while creeping into hideouts like thieves and foxes. They claim to be politicians, but they stigmatize and isolate themselves from the people by their puerile acts. They claim to be knowledgeable and present a comprehensive world-view but are so ignorant about very obvious issues, that they rend apart their own warp and woof. They claim to be serving the people and the country but are actually rendering service to the inveterate enemies of the country. They brag of independence and liberality but are so dependent on satanic powers. I heard in Jamaran the thundering blast detonated by these criminals in Park-e Shahr (City Park) last night. This enormous explosion went off at a place where the poor class of people, petty businessmen, workers and deprived people live. Reports indicate that tens of people have been martyred and wounded, among them expecting women and suckling babies. Beware that if these splinter groups can, they will constantly plant bombs in Tehran, particularly in southern areas where people made sacrifices for the realization of Islamic goals. This is their armed struggle and street fighting against Sepah-e Pasdaran. To achieve worldly name and fame, they have fallen into the trap of Satan. The honorable nation should know that they always calculate every crime they commit. If they deem it advisable to deny, they will; if they deem it advisable to undertake responsibility, they will and present it to the mass media as a victory and feat accomplished by their militants or as a street fight. We are looking forward to the alien radios to broadcast this silly act as the defeat of the Islamic Republic and instability of the government for the simple-minded people. I implore God Almighty to protect us against the carnal soul and inner Satan. Greetings to the martyrs and wounded ones of 17 Shahrivar and similar events! Greetings to the families of the martyrs of 15 Khordad up to the 17 Shahrivar 1357 and 15 and 17 Shahrivar 1361 AHS!
Greetings to the noble and struggling people of Iran who endure any difficulty with their lofty diligence and who openly make sacrifices in the war fronts and behind the fronts for the sacred goals of Islam. Greetings and the blessings of God Almighty and His angels and grand Prophets and immaculate Imams upon the Savior (May God hasten his reappearance)! May God's peace, mercy and blessings upon righteous servants of God. «3»
