RNA – On December 11th, Ayatollah Mohammad-Ali Alavi-Gorgani, a prominent teacher in the ‎Islamic Seminary of Qom, met with a group of soldiers and commanders of the Mechanized ‎Brigade of the 20th of Ramadhan in Qom and said that one of the religious commandments ‎is self-awareness and said, “Man must see how he acts throughout his life and if he’s on the ‎right track or not.”‎
‎ ‎
His Eminence added, “Education can be a valuable asset that can guide others if it is pursued ‎on the path of truth and if man is vigilant over himself.” ‎

He said, “All of you can be missionaries of religion if you have perfected your personality. ‎Just as it’s stated in the noble narration of Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq, there are three classes for ‎human growth: ‘Anyone who learns something, practices it and teaches it to others, will be ‎referred to as a jurist in the heavens.’”‎
‎ ‎
Ayatollah Alavi-Gorgani emphasized the necessity of cooperating and helping others and not ‎forgetting our own people and said, “The philosophy of God giving man two hands is that he ‎can take with one hand and give with the other hand and help others. If we do this, our ‎society will become a utopian and virtuous society.”‎

Referring to the Islamic Revolution, the renowned source of emulation stated, “Our ‎revolution was taken from this concept. The late Imam Khomeyni himself was alone but ‎when the people made a move, they conveyed the message to the rest of the country and ‎then, the whole country began to move and the superpowers of the East and the West were ‎moved aside.”‎

He stressed, “One could not offer the late Shah [Mohammad-Reza Pahlavi] the least amount ‎of criticism but when our people were beside the late Imam and the whole nation was ‎united, the enemies also realized that they couldn’t do anything because ‘God’s hand (of ‎protection) is on protecting unity.’”‎
‎ ‎
In conclusion, Ayatollah Alavi-Gorgani said, “Your duty is first to reach out and reform your ‎self, because in this manner, your faith will be strong and no one will be able to harm you, ‎and then in acting upon it, you must not be heedless of others and you must strive to ‎protect the achievements of the Islamic Revolution.”
