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 commemorated the anniversary [August 17, 1990] of the beginning of the return of Iranian prisoners who were imprisoned in Iraq during the Iran-Iraq War, saying, “On this day, 40,000 people returned to their Islamic homeland and they are the messengers of sacrifice. These loved ones must narrate their sacrifices to the community, especially the youth, who don’t understand that era.”

The custodian of the Holy Shrine of Lady Fatimah al-Ma’sumah said, “To what level are we, who claim to follow Imam al-Mahdi, prepared to have patience and resist? Are we prepared to have patience in the face of hardships despite the threats and sanctions of the enemies and assist Imam al-Mahdi. The victory of Imam al-Mahdi will be achieved with support of his deputy – the Supreme Leader of the Revolution [Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei]. Saying ‘Here I am at your service’ to the Supreme Leader is actually saying ‘Here I am at your service’ to Imam al-Mahdi.”

Referring to the upcoming Hajj pilgrimage and Eid al-Adha, he said, “Eid al-Adha is the second official Muslim holiday. One of the acts of this holiday is offering a sacrifice to gain closeness to God Almighty. God has established sacrifice and every act of worship on the condition of piety. We wish the pilgrims of the ‘House of God’ [Ka’bah] success and the performance of acceptable and correct rituals and the return of health.”

Ayatollah Sa’idi pointed to the important commandments of the Supreme Leader during a recent meeting with the people, saying, “The statements of the Supreme Leader demonstrate the complete knowledge of the ruling class and the Supreme Leader about the living conditions and problems of the people and their awareness of the solutions to end the problems which they have already mentioned to the officials many times.”

His Eminence added that the Supreme Leader considered the main cause of the problems facing Iran as internal mismanagement and not external factors. The people expect serious action to be taken in regard to corruption and the corruptors and for this to be taken as a lesson. The Supreme Leader has repeatedly emphasized in this regard and has named corruption as one of the dragons which must be dealt with seriously.”

He emphasized, “With the recent command of the Supreme Leader to the judiciary, a path has opened for resolute confrontation with the corruptors and now it is the turn of the judiciary to punish the violators and perpetrators in any position with respect to religious matters and without any consideration. Fortunately, good things have been started with the help of the people, which must not be designed in this way, and must not pay attention to drama and lose time.”

Ayatollah Sa’idi added, “Despite the corruption among some of the officeholders and sectors, the allusion of systematic corruption is the work of the enemies, although there is a lot of corruption in the Islamic system. Linking interests and national security and opening up the economy to negotiations with the United States is a dangerous and irrational matter. In the intellectual system of the Supreme Leader, neglecting negotiations with the United States is based on rational, canonical, legal and empirical support.”

The Friday prayer leader of Qom said that that the Supreme Leader considers hegemony, the humiliation of the people, the violations of treaties, lying, deception and fraud are the basis of the Americans negotiations and stressed, “By following the Supreme Leader, the proud, powerful and revolutionary Iranian nation will never give permission to the officials to hold negotiations with the ‘Great Satan.’”

He stated that one of the foundations of the Supreme Leader in regard those who took responsibility through the vote of the people is that they were always supported by the vote of the people and were always supported by the presidents and the representatives and noted, “Thus, those who say that the administration [of Hasan Rouhani] must be dismissed are expressing the demand of the enemies. The president and the government must remain and must take the guidelines of the Supreme Leader into consideration and deal with the offenders and respond to the demands. The people must also help the government solve problems.”

In conclusion, Ayatollah Sa’idi said, “In order to create turmoil, the arrogant powers seek the poor and deprived classes of the world but in the Islamic Republic of Iran, they haven’t been able to use the poor according to their wishes due to the fact that these classes are always supported by the people and the help of people on various occasions is considered as a divine duty, especially in these days when enemies seek to harm the Islamic system.”
