Majlis deputies epitome and essence of the nation

I was not supposed to speak today, but well-wishing knows no time. I have always prayed for all strata of the nation, especially those who are valuable for the system. I hope that God Almighty would grant more success to you, gentlemen, who are spending your lives for Islam and promoting it. I hope that in this Majlis and in the future ones, the issues will be Islamic and the method ethical and Islamic.
Of course, I should not advise you. Thank God, you yourselves know everything, but at this time you should think what will happen to the Majlis if it suffers any damage. Do your best to avert this damage. Try to solve the issue in the same manner that Islam has dealt with the problems. Under the auspices of Islam we were able to solve these problems. All must be preserved under the auspices of Islam. Of course, I am aware of the problems of the Majlis and the government. For this reason, I do not expect all the affairs to be resolved overnight. Nevertheless, since you, gentlemen, repose your trust in God Almighty, I hope that God will guide you and that you will be along the true path Islam has charted. I hope that you will always strive so that this oppressed nation and its representatives, who are the embodiment of the nation, will be proud and honored from now on.

Main objective is performing duty and wielding power

These hullabaloos in the world have always been there and will always be there. But the one that will ultimately remain is God. You should keep trust in God and solve the problems according to your procedures. I hope that God will confirm everybody. Once things are for the sake of God, He will confirm them. Once the work is for the sake of God, whether we emerge victorious or not, our work is for God and we have performed our duty. We want to perform our duty; we are not aspiring to acquire some position and you ar not either. We know that we cannot duly express gratitude to God. I am speaking about myself; I testify that so far I have not yet performed two units of prayer for God; whatever I have done has been for the self. The question is if there were no paradise or hell, would we be still be so preoccupied with supplications and prayers the way we are now? The prayer that we say is for the Almighty God to grant paradise to us and to keep us away from the hellfire. This is the very end of our deeds. That which is for the sake of God will be made clear when they would give to you the keys of paradise and hell, saying that you are free; that no one will throw you to the hellfire; neither will anyone deprive you of the paradise. In that case, would we still strive to suppress the carnal desires? Would we still stand up to say our prayers? These are known to ourselves. I myself know that it is not so and I am not like that. I hope that God will bestow you success. Your trust in your Lord should be enhanced. Whatever you have is from God. Ask everything from God. I am your well-wisher. I always pray for you and hope God would hear it.
May God's peace and mercy be upon you.
