RNA – In his Friday prayer sermon to a large and fervent crowd of believers in Qom’s Quds ‎Prayer Hall, Ayatollah Seyyed Hashem Hoseyni-Bushehri emphasized on the implementation ‎of social justice in Islamic society and said, “The director of the Islamic society must not ‎discriminate between those close to him and others, the poor and the rich and between the ‎various races.”‎

The member of the board of directors of the Assembly of Experts added, “Unfortunately, ‎nowadays, human rights advocates don’t pay attention to human rights. The director of the ‎Islamic society must not separate himself from others. If the director of the Islamic society ‎wants whatever he wants for himself for others, others will not suffer social harm.”‎

Referring to the visit of the a group of people from Qom with the Supreme Leader of the ‎Islamic Revolution [Ayatollah Khamenei] on the tenth anniversary of the 9th of Dey, 1388 ‎‎[December 30th, 2009] rallies during which the Iranian people renewed their allegiance to the ‎Islamic establishment and put an end to foreign-orchestrated riots and sedition, he said, ‎‎“The statements of the Supreme Leader must be seriously addressed at various meetings ‎and their demands must be pursued. The Supreme Leader described Qom and the 9th of Dey ‎uprising as the turning point for the Islamic Revolution.”‎

Ayatollah Hoseyni-Bushehri said that the Supreme Leader told the authorities that their ‎priority must be to solve livelihood problems of the people and added, “If a danger ‎threatens the Islamic Revolution, the threat comes from those in combat clothes. Therefore, ‎we must protect the people, the enemies focuses on the livelihoods of the people in order ‎to make them dissatisfied and confront the Revolution.”‎

The secretary of the Supreme Council of the Islamic Seminary added, “The people must be ‎careful about the enemies’ plots and their abuses, the Supreme Leader said that the ‎authorities must recognize the blessing of responsibility in the Islamic system and adhere to ‎its necessity and be attentive regarding their words and behaviour and avoid aristocracy and ‎loyalty. Bravery and rationality must be on the agenda of the authorities and they must not ‎be afraid of the enemies.”‎

Referring to the emphasis of the Supreme Leader on using the youth in the administration of ‎the country, he said, “The Supreme Leader insisted that we must not be afraid of the ‎ambitions of the youth. The people must help the authorities and help the national ‎production. The people must remain on the scene. The 22nd of Bahman [February 11th] is ‎coming up and the enemies had dreamed that the Islamic Revolution would not make it to ‎its fortieth anniversary but the presence of the enemy-crushing people on the revolutionary ‎scene is a firm slap against the United States and its followers.”‎

Ayatollah Hoseyni-Bushehri continued, “The Supreme Leader said that the threats, promises ‎and signatures of the enemies cannot be trusted that these issues are in fact practical. The ‎Supreme Leader said enemies say that they have implemented sanctions against Iran that ‎have no precedent in history but the Iranian nation has imposed a historically unprecedented ‎defeat against the United States.”‎

His Eminence stressed upon the need to know realize the value of the Islamic Revolution and ‎said, “Independence, self-esteem, self-confidence, freedom, democracy and the removal ‎deprivation are the results of this Revolution and enemies do not want the Revolution to be ‎a role model for the rest of the world. There hasn’t a day or a month that has gone by that ‎the enemies haven’t conspired against the Revolution but the enduring secret of the ‎Revolution has been God’s work and the people’s support.”‎
