RNA – In an exclusive interview with Rasa News Agency, Hujjat al-Islam Sayyed Mostafa Mirlouhi expressed the conditions of the export of Iran’s Islamic Revolution, saying, “The great Imam [Khomeyni] began the revolutionary movement on June 5, 1963, with his epic speech on the day of Ashura at Qom’s Feyziyeh Seminary.”
The teacher at Tehran’s Imam Sadiq University said that after his speech on that day, the Imam was arrested by the Shah’s forces and the following day, the people of the cities of Pishva, Varamin and Qom demonstrated their protest by going rushing to the streets to defend Imam Khomeyni.
Explaining the most important contributions of Imam Khomeyni’s in his speech in 1963, Hujjat al-Islam Mirlouhi stated, “The most important contributions of this movement, which was accompanied by epic eloquence and a passionate welcome by the people, was in fact the slogan: ‘Our movement is Husayni, our leader is Khomeyni!’”
Referring to the rise of independence and freedom-seekers in the countries of the region and their Islamic Awakening, he stated, “After the Islamic Revolution, a phenomenon called the ‘Islamic Awakening’ has occurred in the countries of the Middle East, Asia, and even the world, which is all due to the Islamic Revolution and the movement of Imam Khomeyni.”
Hujjat al-Islam Mirlouh stressed, “If the people didn’t say ‘Ya Zahra, Ya Husayn’ on the day of the martyrdom of Lady Fatimah al-Zahra, the 22nd of Bahman would not have been a covenant with the ideals of the Imam, the Revolution and the martyrs, and the country would not have been insured against the arrogant powers.”
