RNA – Ayatollah Nouri-Hamadani quoted Imam Khomeini as saying that "our policies are the essence of our religion."
“Iran’s rulers have always been intelligent, knowledgeable and insightful and aware of the deception of its enemies,” he said.
His Eminence pointed out that the main duty of Iran is to build the peoples’ intelligence and increase their insight. He added that Islamic policies are twofold: The first aspect is to separate evil policies from Islamic policies and the second is to be aware of other important aspects of the evil ways of the enemies before they are manifested.
Ayatollah Nouri-Hamadani made the remarks during a meeting with Brigadier-General Gholam-Reza Jalali, the head of Iran’s Civil Defense Organization, and his accompanying delegation.
“We must prepare ourselves against them so that all segments of our society, even those in the most remote parts of the country, should be aware of the policies of the US, Zionists and Saudis,” he stressed.
He added that recognition of one’s enemies is a direct command of God in the Quran, adding that Iran’s greatest enemies are the United States and Israel, and added: “In three places in the Holy Quran, God calls upon the believers to prepare themselves to protect against sedition and emphasizes the importance of jihad in the way of God. When the Prophet David killed the tyrannous warrior, Goliath, God granted him wisdom, respect and knowledge. Thus, we should not refrain from jihad and stand on our feet [and resist].”
The Iranian scholar stated the intelligence and awakening of the Iranian nation depends on the peoples’ obedience and compliance to the orders of the Supreme Leader, saying: By the kindness and grace of God, we have a powerful military and its leader is an intelligent, knowledgeable and informed person and if we always obey his commands, our system will be strong and stable.”
Grand Ayatollah Nouri-Hamadani also noted that through Imam Ali’s Nahj al-Balaghah (The Peak of Eloquence), which the late founder of Iran’s Islamic Revolution, Imam Sayyed Ruhollah Khomeini said includes the greatest discussions on governmental and cultural issues, the people can become familiar with the Islamic policies.
The renowned source of emulation said at during the caliphate of Imam Ali, some thought that Mu’awiyah was a better politician than Imam Ali but the Imam said that this is because Mu’awiyah ruled through policies of deception and treachery which are forbidden in Islamic law, and that he was aware of Mu’awiyah’s plans.
