Imam Khamenei

Today’s events reflect the emergence of a unique phenomenon in the world

Imam Khamenei issued a message to the 54th meeting of the Union of Islamic Students’ Associations in Europe. The following is the full text of the message, which the Leader of the Islamic Revolution issued on January 23rd and which was read in Vienna this morning (Saturday).

In the Name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful,
Dear youth in the Union of Islamic Students’ Associations,
This year, your meeting is being held at a time when important events are taking place. Each of these manifests in some respects the greatness and reliability of Islamic Iran and its revolutionary nation. The martyrdoms, the show of our military power, the unparalleled presence of the people, the youth’s strong spirit and determination, thousands of groups that are active in science and technology, as well as a religious and spiritual feeling among a large proportion of the young people across the country, all reflect the emergence of a unique phenomenon in the world. This is a phenomenon, which can have a profound and determining effect on history in the future. The second phase of the Islamic Revolution should be able to bring this phenomenon to its full potential and achieve great results, with God’s grace and power.
Our hope and expectation in this vital movement are from the knowledgeable, wise, faithful youth, and you can be one of these select, history-making figures.
I wish you great success.
May Allah’s peace and mercy be upon you.
Sayyid Ali Khamenei
