In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Dear Basiji students,
I send my greetings to every one of you, and I pray to Almighty Allah for your success and firmness of purpose and well-being.
The organization of students called ‘Basij' displays the vastness, profundity and versatility of this glorious and renowned name. Being Basiji means to utilize all one's capabilities for the sake of the ideals of the Islamic system. It is characterized by dynamic, dedicated and progressive endeavors to accomplish noble objectives.
These qualities, when manifested in universities and in the framework of a student organization, will be accompanied by initiative, creativity and courage in the fields of science, politics, religiousness and serving one's nation and country. Basiji students are expected to judge themselves by these criteria and steadily increase their selfless efforts to attain their lofty ideals.
The passage of time has corroborated the soundness of grounds for the past hopefulness. The Islamic system has shown its great capabilities and potential in various fields and displayed its vigor, dynamism and vitality. The novel words, sincere endeavors and motivating message of the Iranian nation have influenced the remotest parts of the world and brought new horizons before the eyes of other nations.
At the center of this brilliant radiation are our faithful, spirited and pious youngsters. Try to make this radiation more brilliant and more far-reaching as time goes by.
May Almighty Allah aid and assist you all.
Greetings be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessing
