RNA – Speaking at a meeting of the General Culture Council of Kashan, Ayatollah Abdonnabi Namazi referred to the letter of the President of the United States, Donald Trump, to the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic in which he expressed willingness to negotiate with Iran and said, “The stance of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution [Ayatollah Khamenei] in response to Trump’s letter is greater than land power.”
The representative of the Supreme Leader in Kashan added that the Supreme Leader’s response to Trump’s letter had a greater affect than one atomic bomb on public opinion and among government officials, politicians, analysts, academics and international researchers.
He described the Supreme Leader’s statements in response to the United State’s position and Trump’s letter as “hard-hitting and decisive” and said, “God bestowed upon us the greatest blessings – Islam and faith – and we must appreciate Islam, Wilayah al-Faqih [Guardianship of the Jurisprudent], the Supreme Leader, the Islamic Revolution, system and the country.”
Ayatollah Namazi described the people of Iran as “good, grateful, patient and resistant” and said, “The heroic people of Iran have endured all the hardships of eight years of war and martyrdom and after that, they endured the imposition of sanctions, threats and economic warfare by the enemies and the economic problems of the country and stand firmly in support of the Islamic Revolution, the system, wilayah and Islam.”
His Eminence stated, “For various reasons, we can’t make use of all of the divine rulings. The dignity that the heroic people of Islamic Iran have today is due to their practice of some of the divine rulings, one of which is the subject of martyrdom. For this reason, Imam Khomeyni said that the nation that has martyrdom isn’t captive.”
He continued, “Those who were educated and trained in the culture of Karbala and Ashura, don’t fear any other power besides God and the enemies can’t force a people who seek martyrdom to surrender.”
Ayatollah Namazi emphasized, “If the command of ‘enjoining the good and forbidding the wrong’ is isolated or marginalized and eliminated in an monotheistic and Islamic society, nothing will remain of Islam. For this reason, Imam al-Sadiq said, ‘The command to enjoin the good and forbid the wrong has two great precepts such that even prayer is revived in the light of the command of enjoining the good and forbidding the wrong.”
In conclusion, His Eminence noted, “If Islam is correctly understood and it’s rulings are properly implemented, it will be automatically and naturally exported, since understanding the truth of the divine rulings will lead to a tendency toward Islam.”
