Meeting a group of seminary students of Tehran province this morning, on 28 August 2017, the Leader of the Revolution stated: The Revolution continues; saying that the Revolution has ended, and now we can go back to normal life, is perfidy against the Revolution. The Revolution never ends.
He mentioned: The Revolution distorts the previous norms and creates new ones. Maintaining new norms are a continuance of the Revolution. If the Revolution needed a fight to achieve victory, then, today a fight is needed to establish the revolutionary norms and make them fruitful; so that, we can achieve an Islamic society.
Ayatollah Khamenei pointed out: We do not have an Islamic society. We do not even have an Islamic government. We managed to create an Islamic revolution, that is, a revolutionary movement. We managed to create an Islamic system based on that revolution. These are important things we gained so far; however, thereafter, creation of an Islamic government and Islamic administrations are needed for the country. We still have a long way to go in this regard.
The Leader of the Revolution remarked, "Of course it does not mean that there is no hope. Despite all oppositions and challenges working against us, we, no doubt, move on and progress. Thus, we must fight."
Ayatollah Khamenei said, "Globally there exists a feeling of disappointment over Marxist and Liberal thoughts as they could bear no fruit: This has paved way for Islamic thought to bring forth new ideas."
His Eminence pointed to the importance of successfully conveying Islamic ideas to the people of the world, by adding: If we can make Islam's new, striking ideas on humanity, society, as well as politics spread out and be conveyed to the people of the world, particularly, the younger generations, these ideas will certainly be embraced.
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution described the existence of mass media communications devices and means shaped by the virtual space as advantages of the modern era, which can be used to convey the reviving message of Islam, and he added: The great advantages of the new era we live in, are the many questions that people have in mind. The many questions activate minds for responses, and they pave the ground for mankind to move beyond the borders of science.
