In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Necessity of understanding between governors and clerics
Although the subjects I highlight are repetitive, they are necessary to be reiterated and recommended. I would like to stress two subjects. One is to get on with the clerics. I have also given this recommendation to the clerics repeatedly. Since you are here today, I want to remind you of this. By getting along with the clerics, try to attract people and this way no harm will come to you since it is mostly caused by discord. You and the clerics should be in good terms. You know that whatever has been accomplished has not been by way of accident. Our progress has been due to the agreement reached among all social strata. If foreigners want to do something, they first create discord among us and thus spread corruption. After discord takes root, they will inflict harm on us. They do not interfere directly. We are responsible to preserve Islam and today protection of Islam lies in understanding, understanding among all social strata; between people and the clerics; between the clerics and governors; governors with people and clerics and this is a Divine duty, which we should fulfill.
Duty of governors is to support the government
The second subject is that all governors everywhere should back the government. Today governors should strengthen the prime minister, the government and the Majlis and if they disagree, they will create a gap and inflict damage on Islam. If Islam suffers damage God forbid, it will not recover so soon. If those who have been slapped by Islam and realized that it is Islam, which can emancipate nations, rise up and damage Islam, what answer do we have? Governors should support the prime minister and government and all the ministers. You should be united and support each other. I stress that if the heads are in good terms, no harm will come to our country. Moreover, if the country suffers any damage, it is due to discord among the heads as has been mentioned in the holy Shari`ah. The government, the Majlis and the judiciary should feel that they have one duty- and avoid any discord. Today discord can permeate the warfronts and if God forbid it pervades calamity will ensue. Today, almost no one is on good terms with us. Those who side with us only express their support in words. In spite of this, the pasdars, the military, the Basij and other forces have been able to achieve these victories. It is because there is no difference among them. Difference of the clerics with governors or among themselves spreads to people and is constantly reflected on the warfronts. Then you cannot evaluate the disaster that will ensue. The great calamity will be the fact that Islam cannot recover soon. You should bear in mind that this is a duty to be with one another to bring the burden to destination. Render services efficiently and attend to the needs of the deprived. You are responsible to fulfill the needs of the deprived in remote places, the same people who have been under pressure and trouble in the course of history. Struggle to work out a solution to their problems. Be serious about development and road construction. Today you should serve the deprived and slum-dwellers who are our benefactors. Before God Almighty, no service is more useful than rendering service to slum dwellers.
May God's peace and mercy be upon you!
