Rasa – Hujjat al-Islam Haj-Abolqasem-Dolabi said that the hypocrites of the Islamic Ummah are those who support the Imam but don’t practice their actions, said, “Anyone who follows Imam Khomeyni’s line will be resolutely opposed to the enemies.” RNA – In an exclusive interview with Rasa News Agency, Hujjat al-Islam Mohammad Haj-Abolqasem-Dolabi, the representative of the people of Zanjan in the Assembly of Experts, offered his condolences on the death anniversary of the founder of Iran’s “massive” Islamic Revolution, Imam Sayyed Ruhollah Khomeyni, and said, “It’s a continuous movement against the pressure and excessiveness of the arrogant powers and domestic and foreign enemies.”
The Iranian cleric and politician continued, “As long as the Islamic Revolution is faced with the pressures imposed by the arrogant powers and domestic and foreign enemies, its movement will not subside and will last.”
He stated that the continuation of the Islamic Revolution requires the continuation of the views and conditions that govern it and said, “The conditions prevailing over the Islamic Revolution require that the authorities and the agents have a complete and comprehensive perspective around them and therefore, it’s natural that, if this happens, appropriate behaviours will also fit into that perspective.”
Hujjat al-Islam Haj-Abolqasem-Dolabi stated that one of the main needs of the revolutionary era was to explain the relationship between Imam and the Ummah and said, “The Imam is the person who stands in front of the Ummah in the midst of events and problems and defends it. Naturally, people are also following him in this fight. Since the economic conditions of the country today have become more difficult due to the enemies and due to the economic pressures that have been imposed on the people, it’s imperative that the authorities stand in front of the various groups of people in order to face the hardships and accept economic problems.”
His Eminence emphasized the necessity of observing simple living, the limits of piety and non-attachment to the world among the officials, and said, “If this important aspect is desirable in normal circumstances, it’s more desirable given the present situation of the country. Today, the officials must be partners in economic issues and problems more than others in order to make it easy for others to accept the difficult living conditions.”
Referring to the characteristics of the true followers of Imam Khomeyni, he considered some of these indicators as reliance on God’s power, support for believers and standing against disbelievers, polytheists and hypocrites and emphasized, “The hypocrites of the Islamic Ummah are those who support the Imam but don’t practice their actions.”
Hujjat al-Islam Haj-Abolqasem-Dolabi argued that the person who claims to follow the Imam’s line, must be a pioneer in the practice of the Imam and added, “Is it possible for anyone to claim to follow the Imam’s line and not stand up against the arrogant powers? Is it possible for anyone to claim to follow Imam Khomeini’s school of thought, but not be a source of tranquility and encouragement for the oppressed or humiliate them with their behaviour?”
