Leader's Message to Hajj Pilgrims

In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of all sentient beings, and greetings be upon our Master, Muhammad Al-Mustafa, and upon his immaculate household and select companions.

The Ka’bah, the secret behind unity and dignity and the symbol of monotheism and spirituality, is host to enthusiastic and hopeful hearts in the hajj season who have responded to and accepted the call of Allah the Exalted and have rushed towards the birthplace of Islam. The Islamic Ummah can now see a condensed picture of its vastness and variety and the depth of religious faith that rules the hearts of this righteous religion with the eyes of its representatives who have gathered here from the four corners of the world. Now the Islamic Ummah can appropriately understand this great and unique asset.peoples...

Pahlavi regime granted capitulation to the US

Americans had tens of thousands of agents in Iran. The exact number is not important - fifty thousand, sixty thousand or more. They were political, security and military agents. They were among the people who used to manage Iran - in the army, in intelligence organizations, planning centers and different other places. They used to charge the Iranian government several times more, but they used to work for America. This was a bad thing that happened in our country. Because it was dependent on America and acted as an American mercenary, the satanic Pahlavi regime had gradually allowed those agents to enter the country over a number of years. This was already bad enough, but what happened next was even worse: They approved a law in the parliament of that time, which granted immunity to American agents so that they could not be prosecuted by Iranian courts, judiciary and security organizations. This is called legal immunity. When foreigners are allowed to enter a country and do whatever they like, when the courts and police force of a country are unable to do anything to stop foreigners, it shows that the country is suffering from an extreme form of weakness and dependence. Legal immunity was what the Americans demanded from the satanic Pahlavi regime, and it was given to them on a silver platter. Nov 3, 2010

Leader’s Speech to Executive Officials of Qom

During the Pahlavi period, there was dictatorship as well as dependency

In scientific areas, they kept us backward for a period of 100-150 years. The same is true of industrial areas as well as different social areas. Similarly, corrupt, tyrannical, immoral, greedy and dependant governments wreaked havoc on this country during the few decades before the Revolution. One day it was only tyranny and dictatorship - such as the tyranny of Nasser al-Din Shah and the tyranny of Fath Ali Shah - but there was no dependence. However, there was also a day when the situation of this country got so bad that tyranny was accompanied by serving foreigners and bullying and pressuring the people… Our country was in this situation for many years. Our people were living under the pressure of corrupt, tyrannical and greedy governments for many years. Reza Shah grabbed the ownership of any developed piece of land in all parts of the country - in Mazandaran, in Khorasan and in many other parts of the country. They accumulated wealth. They accumulated property. They accumulated jewelry for themselves. At the end, they fled from the country and took some of our national wealth with them.

Leader’s Speech to Foreign Seminarians in Qom

Leader Meets Foreign Seminarians, Religious Scholars

Ayatollah Khamenei the Leader of the Islamic Revolution met this morning with thousands of foreign seminarians and religious scholars. In this meeting, His Eminence described reproduction of the lofty teachings of Islam as one of the goals of the Islamic Republic.

How is the Islamic Revolution meant to be exported?

It is not our goal to export the Revolution to this or that country--not in the conventional political sense of the word "export". The Revolution is not something that can be exported through political means or advanced through military and security operations. This is wrong. We closed this path since the very beginning. The aim of the Islamic Republic is to reproduce lofty Islamic teachings: so that Muslims feel as if they have an Islamic identity; so that they become familiar with Islamic teachings which can save humanity; so that they know what Allah the Exalted means when He says that He sent a Messenger to remove "from them their burden and the shackles which were upon them." [The Holy Quran, 7: 157] Due to lack of vigilance, the Islamic Ummah had long forgotten this truth. The Islamic Ummah can be free, progressive, knowledgeable, glorious and powerful. These qualities are achievable thanks to Islamic teachings. The Revolution helped the Islamic Ummah remember these ideals.

Leader’s Address to Clergy in Qom

A revolutionary person should be insightful and comprehend the complications of the current era

A revolutionary person should have insight. He should be perceptive. He should be able to understand the complexities of time. Rejecting a certain person and accepting another person is not a simple issue. You should be careful. You should preserve the revolutionary enthusiasm. You should deal with the problems. When somebody raises an objection, you should not turn your back on him. However, you should be careful as well and avoid immature actions. You should not lose hope. You should stay on the scene. But take care not to get angry at an action which you think is objectionable. Take care not to lose your temper in such cases. It is necessary to behave in a logical and reasonable way.
