Ayatollah Khamenei’s Speech on 27th Demise Anniversary of Imam Khomeini (r.a.)

The following is the full text of a speech delivered on June 3, 2016, by Ayatollah Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, on the occasion of the 27th anniversary of Imam Khomeini’s (r.a.) passing. The speech was delivered at Imam Khomeini's shrine in Tehran, Iran.

Imam Khomeini saved Iran from the quagmire of dependence, backwardness and corruption

Our revolutionary Imam (r.a.) pulled the country out of various quagmires, he pulled the country out of various morasses with the help of the Islamic Revolution... from the morasses of dependence, backwardness, political and moral corruption, and global humiliation. We were suffering in these muddles: we had become dependent, humiliated, and backward; we were held behind. They held us back in scientific fiends, in economic pursuits, technological advancements, on an international presence, overall, in everything... Our magnanimous Imam (r.a.) changed the direction [within Iran], thus bringing about a profound transformation: he changed the path of the Iranian people; he changed the trajectory we were on, and he moved us towards lofty goals. These goals—which guided us with the help of the Imam of the Revolution (r.a.) and that guided the Iranian society towards the revolution—were extremely important. The sum of all these goals is the authority of God's religion. The authority of God's religion calls for social justice in the real sense of the word: it calls for uprooting poverty, ignorance, and oppression; it calls for preparing a collection of Islamic values; it calls for uprooting social detriments; it calls for providing physical, moral, and spiritual health--and scientific progress for the country; it calls for offering national dignity, national and Iranian identity, and international power; it calls upon man to activate the capacities that God has given this land.--All these terms are included in the authority of God's religion. It was Imam (r.a.) who moved us towards this path. This is the exact opposite of the path towards which we were being dragged during the time of taghut [the Pahlavi era].

How was the Islamic Revolution brought into being?

There is an important point here: this Revolution did not come into being with a coup. It did not come into being with a military move, like some revolutions in which some military officers took a government and replaced it with another. This was not the case with our Revolution. This Revolution came into being through the people. It came into being with the people’s determination, revolutionary power and faith. And it defended itself, survived and grew roots with the same power. It was the people who did not show fear. It was the dear people of Iran who showed resistance and embodied this holy ayah: “Those to whom the people said, ‘Surely men have gathered against you, therefore fear them.’ But this increased their faith, and they said, ‘Allah is sufficient for us and most excellent is the Protector’” [The Holy Quran, 3: 173]. We used to be threatened all the time. They were constantly saying that they would attack and impose sanctions on us. However, the people did not show fear

Anyone who has ever trusted the U.S. was eventually slapped by it: Ayatollah Khamenei

Ayatollah Khamenei addressed more than a million mourners today, who gathered in Imam Khomeini’s Mausoleum, marking the 27th anniversary of the Islamic Republic founder’s demise. 

True Islam is a foundation you should adhere to

Original Islam is against American Islam. American Islam has two branches: one is reactionary Islam and another is secular Islam. Arrogance and materialistic powers have supported and continue to support both of these branches. Sometimes, they create them, sometimes they guide them and sometimes they help them. Original Islam is against these two branches. Original Islam is the kind of Islam that is comprehensive: it includes everything ranging from one’s individual life to the formation of an Islamic government. Original Islam is the kind of Islam that determines how you and I should behave in the family, how we should behave in society, and how our behavior should be towards the Islamic government and towards the formation of the Islamic government: this is original Islam. These are a set of the principles to which we should be committed to.
