Speech [Establishment of government to implement rules of God]

I thank you for coming here to talk to each other closely. What you know but need to be reiterated is that the Supreme Assembly comprised of Iraqi mujahidin should try to do things for God and completely consider Islamic and religious aspects. You should try to pay all your attention to God Almighty. Man's inner nature is interwoven with things from which guidance and deviation emanate. You should be careful that carnal passions in your mind do not overpower you. In your mind, you should not develop the idea to overcome and rule; you should think of establishing Islamic government and implementing the rules of God. The Commander of the Faithful( peace be upon him )was a leading ascetic and a rule at the same time, but his rule was not for himself. All his efforts and struggles were for Islam. You should struggle so that impurities in your hearts would be erased. If you purify yourselves for God, it will be contributed to your victory. You should only rely on God. This is not possible unless you debilitate your carnal passions, which are the source of discord. Wherever you notice discord in your ranks, be sure that it stems from carnal desire. Of course, difference between prophets and their opponents and between Islam and blasphemy has always existed, but this discord emanates from servitude. You should destroy the discord stemming from carnal passions. No doubt if your efforts do not originate from divinity and step beyond the limits of Islamic unity, you will be unfortunate and crestfallen.

I hope you will be successful in struggling for liberation and independence of Iraq. Struggle to free Iraq from domination of tyrants. In the same way, that Moses revolted against Pharaoh and had in mind to establish the truth and in no way did he intend to rule for himself, you should also develop the idea to turn your assembly into a divine one. If discord emerges in your assembly, all of you will be destroyed. If you are together, you will be triumphant. Since you want to uproot this oppression for God, I hope you will be successful. This success comes when there is no concern among the gentlemen.

The mystery of Iran's victory was that unity prevailed among all individuals. There was not a power struggle among groups or individuals. You should unify your ranks as you are. When unity prevails in the first assembly, there will emerge no discord in other assemblies. Try so that in the depth of your heart nothing is found against divinity. If you find any trace of disharmony, you should suppress it. I have repeatedly if all the prophets gathered in the same place, no discord would ever emerge among them, because they all have one divine purpose, goal and destination. If in your assembly monotheism is realized in its true sense, naturally the individuals connected to you will not have any discord. Real unity means that your hearts should beat for one object and that is Islam. If this is the case, you will have God's approval.

We should regard everything we have from Him. You are rich neither in number of people nor in weapons, but your opponents are backed by the entire world. In such conditions, the party that has nothing should confront with their spiritual aspects. In such cases, it is not possible to apply material aspects.

You know well that the deposed Shah was equipped with military equipments. The US filled Iran with weapons and ammunition, because the US wanted to turn Iran into its base. Shah enjoyed everything: support of all superpowers and a well-equipped, disciplined army, but the people of Iran had nothing. The story began from Faydiyyah School. When people saw there is no discord, they assembled and achieved victory by the power of faith. The Iranian people had no arms; they only gained victory by clenched fists and crying at the enemy. They cried so much that they defeated the heavily armed enemy. Later, people formed Sepah and disciplinary forces of Sepah. Today Iran has a divine condition. When our youths make those sacrifices in warfronts or come here and talk to me, I envy their Great Spirit and purity. Wherever this state prevails, victory will ensue and God's favor will follow. After God's favor, victory is inevitable. I hope God will rectify us to that we can render services.

What brutes have stood against you! When one sees how they Martyred Mr. Sadr, that erudite scholar, and his sister; what they did to the household of Mr. Hakim, who had rendered great services, the way they treated Mr. Yousuf Hakim, whose face reminded one of the Day of Judgment, and their arrest of 90 members of the late Hakim household one is greatly grieved and realizes their brutality. I know that the people of Iraq are disgusted with this situation. Which man can observe these pressures and yet not be impressed?

I hope the works will get along soon. The powers imagined that they could keep them all in place. In the former regime, the US, the Soviet Union, France asking me to let Shah be the figurehead monarch. It was impossible and he left the country. Now all powers are trying the keep Saddam, but it is of no avail. You should try to awaken the Iraqi people. I hope the Iraqi people will be careful and consider the situation of Iran. I hope God will grant you success to be mujahid( striver )in the cause of God. I wish you will return to Iraq and we will be able to join you in the holy shrine of the Doyen of Martyrs (peace be upon him).

May God's peace and mercy be upon you!
