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 referred to the birth anniversary ‎of Prophet Muhammad and Islamic Unity Week and said, “With the passing of 1,400 years, ‎more than ever before, we need a restoration of Islam, the same Islam that our prophet ‎was the source of.” ‎

The custodian of the Holy Shrine of Lady Fatimah al-Ma’sumah added, “One of the blessings ‎of our Islamic Revolution was the expression and the annunciation of pure Islam. Pure Islam ‎and the school of the Ahlul-Bayt have overcome contemporary ignorance and the hegemonic ‎system. The next century is the century of pure and peaceful Muhammadan Islam and the ‎rule of the reformers of the world and the leadership of Imam al-Mahdi.”‎

He added, “In the era of the occultation of Imam al-Mahdi, Wilayat al-Faqih [Guardianship of ‎the Jurisprudent] will be a step towards the revival of pure Islam and the foundation of the ‎formation of a government and the rule of the divine leadership in the world.” ‎

Stating that there are four characteristics of pure Islam as the school of the Islamic ‎Revolution, Ayatollah Sa’idi said, “The fourth characteristic of pure Islam is Muhammadan ‎justice and the negation of oppression. Western civilization has lost its intellectual ‎foundations and is in decline.”‎

The representative of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution [Ayatollah Khamenei] in ‎Qom stated, “The United States is a symbol of Western civilization and all of its weakening ‎and declining foundations have become manifest. Liberal democracy was deployed to ‎change humanity but has lost its attractiveness and humanity has become weary and lost ‎and is at the height of decline and the crisis of identity. Humanity is looking for a school of ‎thought that enlightens knowledge and faith based on the restoration of nature in the ‎contemporary world and this school is the school of pure Muhammadan Islam and the Islam ‎of the Ahlul-Bayt.” ‎

He said, “The decline of the United States is due to its injustice and plunder of the wealth of ‎the people of the world and the region. The decline of spirituality and identity in families is ‎another sign of the decline of the United States. In this country the ugliest moral and social ‎vices occur and society is being destroyed. Due to this situation, the world and humanity are ‎now exposed to destruction and decline and for this reason, the tendency towards spirituality ‎in the West has grown exponentially. Hence, the letter of the Supreme Leader to the youth ‎of the West means that they can strengthen their insights on Islam.”‎

Ayatollah Sa’idi stressed that the Islamic Revolution, which on the basis of pure Islam, ‎suggests that the clear religion of Islam is a prescription for the treatment of the problems ‎facing humanity and the liberation of humanity from the yoke of the colonialist and tyrannical ‎powers. In its first decade, the Islamic Revolution‎ succeeded in destroying Marxism as one ‎of the world’s leading ideologies and in its fourth decade, the Islamic Revolution has been ‎able to combat the strong enemies of the claws of the Western liberal democracy based on ‎the theory of resistance.”‎

His Eminence said that this week, we saw the Palestinian resistance forces target a military ‎bus belonging to the Zionist regime, which killed several members of the military force of the ‎regime and the firing hundreds of rockets into the territory occupied by the regime. These ‎attacks imposed a huge defeat on them and one of the aftershocks of these victories was ‎the compulsory resignation of Avigdor Lieberman, the Zionist regime’s Defence Minister.‎

“This demonstrated, in the words of the Supreme Leader in 2016, that the collapse of Israel ‎is ‎definitive and that Israel will not exist in 25 years,” he argued.‎

Ayatollah Sa’idi said, “The authorities must work to confront the economic and media ‎warfare by the enemies and attempt to defeat the sanctions. It’s not the suitable for the ‎authorities to engage in minor and marginal issues, such as the issue of the presence of ‎women at sport stadiums, which the seminaries and sources of emulation have given their ‎opinions on many times.” ‎

He stressed it’s expected that diplomatic officials speak from positions of wisdom and ‎expediency in a way that doesn’t give pretext to the enemies. ‎
