Little children in Gaza fall on the ground like autumn leaves and they do not say anything

Notice that today's disaster, which has been created in the region by the Zionists, is a unique disaster. One person in a corner of the world falls on the ground because of an accident and organizations in charge of human rights make a fuss about it. They claim to support human rights by telling lies and in a hypocritical, exaggerated and deceptive way. This is while little children and innocent women in Gaza fall on the ground like autumn leaves and these organizations do not say anything.

Leader's Message Regarding the Gaza Massacre

Islam considers Imam Ali’s style of management as necessary for human prosperity

Islam's prescription for humanity is to follow the model of Imam Ali's (a.s.) government. Of course the Commander of the Faithful was himself a follower of the Holy Prophet (s.w.a.) in this regard. When he was asked about the degree of his piety, Imam Ali (a.s.) said that his piety was incomparable to the that of the Holy Prophet (s.w.a.). The Commander of the Faithful was the most prominent follower of the Prophet (s.w.a.) in making efforts for the sake of God, in patience, and in all other aspects. Only such a person can enjoy enough qualifications to rule an Islamic community. We must all consider this as a model, not just for our country, but for the entire world of Islam. This is an expectation. Such a great person - who is indifferent to worldly possessions - would always be prepared to lay down his life for the sake of righteousness and the truth. Such a person can save human communities. Carnal desires cannot overcome such a person. Personal interests cannot make such a person blind to critical issues.

Imam Ali’s key virtue was observing divine satisfaction and moving on the right path

Moving on the path of righteousness and attaching great importance to Allah's satisfaction were the primary features of Imam Ali's life, no matter how much hardship and selflessness were required to continue this life. That was the most important feature of Imam Ali's life. From his childhood to the moment he was martyred, the Commander of the Faithful (a.s.) remained rock solid for the sake of Allah. He made wholehearted efforts and was never frustrated with his efforts for Allah. He tried to promote Islam when it was time to do so. He fought for Islam when it was time to fight. He was patient when patience was required. He assumed the leadership of his society when it was necessary for him to do so. During his life, he showed selflessness whenever required. The Holy Prophet (s.w.a.) of Islam appointed such a man as the ruler of the Islamic community. That is a lesson for the Islamic Ummah.

The movement of knowledge at universities accelerated after the Revolution

The movement of knowledge in universities accelerated after the Revolution. Of course, there are certain reasons why this happened. In the recent years during which the issue of knowledge production movement, the software movement, reliance on the domestic and attention to research in universities has been brought up, this movement has made a leap. You can see examples of this leap in a number of scientific and technological issues. Important feats have been accomplished in our universities in the area of medical sciences, new sciences, the nuclear issue, nanotechnology and other such areas. In the past, no one would have thought that our researchers, professors, students and youth would be able to achieve these positions and make this leap. But today, this has been done.What is important is that this leap should continue to be made. We suffer from a serious backwardness in the area of scientific issues. What is important is the issue of continuing this fast movement.
