In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Necessity of Muslims' resistance in Lebanon and Palestine
Our experience with the world during these long years is that the Muslims are victorious once they resist against their enemy, even if their enemies are the superpowers, though there may be only a few of them.
You witnessed Lebanon in which all the superpowers had been gathered, but when a small group stood up against them, the powers were defeated.
You are aware of what happened during the time of the monarchy in Iran. During the Qajar era the Britons were around and did everything. After they and Rida Khan left this country, during the period of Muhammad Rida Shah Iran became the base of America. Then, the suffering was inconceivable, because their forces were great in number, while people had no arms and the youth were drawn to corruption such that you cannot imagine its extent. However, when people of Iran felt that they themselves had to confront the Shah and America, they resisted and crushed the 2,500- year-old. This was a miracle that happened in Iran. We should not forget this lesson that the superpowers must be resisted against.
Today, all the superpowers and powers have joined hands to prevent Muslim Palestinians from attaining their objective. Even many of those who claim to be sympathizing with the Palestinians do not like the Palestinian Muslims to prevail over Israel. Unfortunately, through silence, compromise and mere watching, they have united in not allowing the Muslims of Palestine gain victory because their victory is the victory of Islam. They are afraid that just as Islam emerged victories in Iran and all their facilities were destroyed and their interests shattered, if Islam would triumph in Lebanon and Palestine, all their facilities would be wiped off. Thus, all the devils are in unison in not allowing Islam make an advancement. We should bear in mind that with utmost power all of us should be ready to struggle in the way of God. Defending the honor of the Muslims, the lands of Muslims and all the dignities of the Muslims is necessary. We should prepare ourselves for the divine objectives and for defending Muslims, especially during these circumstances when the true sons of Islamic Palestine and Lebanon- that is, the Hizbullah- and the revolutionary Muslims of the occupied land and Lebanon are shouting" Help, O! Muslims!" and offering their life and blood. We should stand against Israel and the aggressors with all our material and spiritual strength. We have to resist and help in the resistance against all the tyrants and oppressors. We should rush in participating in this pursuit, identify the compromisers and introducing them to the people.
I hope you will succeed and rest assured that you will succeed. The Islamic Republic of Iran is on your side and you are on the side of all Muslims, nay on the side of all the downtrodden people of the world.
May God's peace and mercy be upon you.
