RNA – In a meeting with a number of police commanders, Grand Ayatollah Hoseyn Nouri-‎Hamadani explained that the 9th of Dey [December 30th] is a “Day of God” and said, “The 9th ‎of Dey is a very important day in the history of the Islamic Revolution and we must give it ‎its due attention at all times.”‎

The revered source of emulation noted that since the victory of the Islamic Revolution in ‎‎1979, all of the enemies have ambushed Iran to eliminate the Revolution by overthrowing it ‎because Imam Khomeyni reintroduced the Islam to the people that the enemies had strived ‎to marginalize and distance from the lives of the people through distortion.‎

Ayatollah Nouri-Hamadani said, “The enemies knew that from the time of its rising, Islam ‎was founded by the people from an ‘Age of Ignorance’ and became unique in terms of ‎power and civilization. At a time when there were no universities or libraries in all of Europe, ‎Islam was able to introduce great scholars and scientists to the world.”‎

The teacher in the Islamic Seminary of Qom added that the phenomenon which sought to ‎prevent the progress of Islam in 2009, assumed Ashura is normative and must be ‎confronted. Therefore, they mobilized all of their powers to undermine the Revolution and ‎break the norms of Ashura, which must not be forgotten.‎

He pointed out that if the people participated in a weak manner in the 9th of Dey protests, ‎today, the Islamic Revolution wouldn’t have remained and said, “With the presence of the ‎revolutionary people on the 9th of Dey, Wilayat al-Faqih [Guardianship of the Jurisprudent] ‎was manifested again and demonstrated that the Islamic Revolution of Iran deals with ‎religion and hearts of the people. There are many governments in the world but the Iranian ‎government is the only government that operates in the realm of religion.” ‎

Stating that before the victory of the Islamic Revolution, foreign countries determined who ‎was a minister and stated, “Before the victory of the Revolution, even our offices were ‎dominated by the hegemonic powers but today it is not so. Although today, the same ‎departments exist but their structure has changed and everyone has come to serve the ‎people and society.”‎

On December 30, 2009, millions of Iranians held nationwide protests to condemn the ‎foreign-orchestrated unrest which had erupted following the presidential elections earlier that ‎year.‎

People were especially angered by incidents that had taken place days earlier in Tehran, ‎where a group of demonstrators offended the sanctities of the nation on the day of Ashura, ‎the martyrdom anniversary of Imam al-Husayn. the third Shi’ah Imam.‎
