RNA – In his Friday prayer sermon delivered to a large and fervent crowd of believers in Qom’s Qods Prayer Hall, Ayatollah Sayyed Mohammad Sa’idi referred to the speech of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Khamenei, to a large group of Basij volunteer forces and senior military officials at Tehran’s Azadi Stadium on October 4th and said, “Our followers remember Karbala, the oppression of Imam al-Sajjad and Lady Zaynab and the commemoration of Arba’in.”
The custodian of the Holy Shrine of Lady Fatimah al-Ma’sumah added, “Arba’in is a magnificent commemoration which is deadly to the enemies and scandalizes them, such that the Ahlul-Bayt have challenged the enemies through Arba’in. God-willing, this year’s Arba’in will be also be held with splendour. We thank the people for their hospitality, the tribes and the Iraqi government and the mawkibs [mourning organizations] must be prepared by protecting the requirements in order to serve the people.”
Referring to the Supreme Leader’s constant emphasis on giving young people the opportunity to solve the problems of the country and said, “The wise and prudent Supreme Leader has said that the greatness, authority and invincibility of the people of Iran and the Islamic Republic of Iran are three indisputable facts.”
Ayatollah Sa’idi said, “The Supreme Leader said that the youth must know that they are the tips of the arrows are a huge national movement and they must open the path and if the elders aren’t tired, they can guide the youth. The Supreme Leader also plays the designated role of the youth in a number of fields, such as jihad against the tyrants, jihad against the separatists, providing services to the nation in the form of the jihad of construction and jihad against the terrorism of the traitors and confrontation against the enemies in the Imposed War [Iran-Iraq War].”
The representative of the Supreme Leader in Qom said, “Everyone must take steps with correct understanding on the path of progress toward the removal of the obstacles facing the country. The first step is to understand the presence of the enemies because, until the presence of the enemies is understood, we can’t fight against them.”
He criticized those intellectuals who deny the animosity of the United States and prescribe surrendering to the United States and said, “The message of the Iranian nation and the youth of this country to these intellectuals is that they will never surrender to the United States.”
Referring to the importance of the role of the media in the psychological and media war of the enemies, Ayatollah Sa’idi said, “It’s dangerous if these tools are in the hands of the enemies and act in the same manner as chemical weapons.”
His Eminence said that some people are trying to encourage the kind of thinking among the youth that there is no solution but to seek refuge in the enemies and noted, “The enemies want the Iranian nation to come to the conclusion that there is deadlock in the country and there is no way out of it but through kneeling down and surrendering to the United States.”
He continued, “The Supreme Leader has explicitly stated that those who promote this desired and beloved thought within the country are the greatest traitors of the people and the nation. What will the response of these people be to the traitors?”
Ayatollah Sa’idi said that with the guidance of the Supreme Leader, the people and Basij forces of Iran not only won’t kneel before the United States but they will also defeat the American aggressors.
The Friday prayer leader of Qom said, “The Iranian nation are the students of the school of Ashura who stood against the oppressor of his time and courageously cried ‘hayhat minna al-dhillah’ [‘we will never be humiliated’]. The Supreme Leader said that the enemies have no other way to confront the Islamic Republic except to impose economic sanctions because all of the other paths are obstructed for them.”
He said, “Oh Leader! We believe you that the national economy can defeat the sanctions and if the authorities intensify their efforts and accept this same belief, the Iranian nation will give another firm slap to the United States with divine grace.”
