RNA – Hujjat al-Islam Masoud Safiyari, the Director-General of the Islamic Propagation Organization of Zanjan province urged Iranian people to realize the importance of Islamic religious principles and teachings, and referred to Quranic teachings and the movement of Ashura as two main sources behind the triumph of Islamic Revolution in Iran.

Referring to the Ten-Day Dawn, which celebrates the victory of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Hujjat al-Islam Safiyari called on Iranian officials and authorities to mark and commemorate the event gloriously.

On the twelfth of Bahman in Iranian calendar or January the 31st, the first day of the celebrations, millions of Iranians celebrate the return of the late Imam Ruhollah Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Revolution to Iran from exile.

Emphasizing the event, the Director-General of Islamic Propagation Organization stated: “The sensitive environment of the country demands more glorious programs for marking the Ten-Day Dawn.”

Elsewhere in his remarks, Hujjat al-Islam Safiyari stressed on the victories that the Iranian people made after the triumph of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, saying: “The promotion of Quranic activities in society should be considered as a the great achievement of the victory of the Islamic Revolution”

He further added that the Islamic Revolution of Iran is based on Quranic principles and teachings along with promotion and expansion of Quranic culture.

Hujjat al-Islam Safiyari concluded, “In reality, the revolution is derived from the ideology of Ashura, thereupon one of the main missions of Iranian officials and authorities should be the establishment of the supremacy of Holy Quran.”

In 1979, some 140 international reporters accompanied Imam Khomeini on a chartered flight from Paris. When the plane entered Iranian airspace, a joyous crowd of up to six million people rushed to the streets of the capital to welcome their leader.

Needless to say, to mark this important day in history, the Iranian nation organize various meetings, seminars and conferences to share their views and review the Islamic Revolution along with its effective effects on their lives.
