The prominent teacher in the Islamic Seminary of Qom described the formation of the Islamic Revolution as due to the mass movement of the people and the help of the late Imam Khomeyni and said, “If we are one nation, the enemies cannot harm us.” RNA – On December 11th, Ayatollah Mohammad-Ali Alavi-Gorgani, a prominent teacher in the Islamic Seminary of Qom, met with a group of soldiers and commanders of the Mechanized Brigade of the 20th of Ramadhan in Qom and said that one of the religious commandments is self-awareness and said, “Man must see how he acts throughout his life and if he’s on the right track or not.”
His Eminence added, “Education can be a valuable asset that can guide others if it is pursued on the path of truth and if man is vigilant over himself.”
He said, “All of you can be missionaries of religion if you have perfected your personality. Just as it’s stated in the noble narration of Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq, there are three classes for human growth: ‘Anyone who learns something, practices it and teaches it to others, will be referred to as a jurist in the heavens.’”
Ayatollah Alavi-Gorgani emphasized the necessity of cooperating and helping others and not forgetting our own people and said, “The philosophy of God giving man two hands is that he can take with one hand and give with the other hand and help others. If we do this, our society will become a utopian and virtuous society.”
Referring to the Islamic Revolution, the renowned source of emulation stated, “Our revolution was taken from this concept. The late Imam Khomeyni himself was alone but when the people made a move, they conveyed the message to the rest of the country and then, the whole country began to move and the superpowers of the East and the West were moved aside.”
He stressed, “One could not offer the late Shah [Mohammad-Reza Pahlavi] the least amount of criticism but when our people were beside the late Imam and the whole nation was united, the enemies also realized that they couldn’t do anything because ‘God’s hand (of protection) is on protecting unity.’”
In conclusion, Ayatollah Alavi-Gorgani said, “Your duty is first to reach out and reform your self, because in this manner, your faith will be strong and no one will be able to harm you, and then in acting upon it, you must not be heedless of others and you must strive to protect the achievements of the Islamic Revolution.”
