RNA – In his Friday prayer sermon delivered to a large and fervent crowd of believers ‎‎‎at ‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎Qom’s Qods Prayer Hall, Ayatollah Sayyed Mohammad Sa’idi ‎referred to the issues ‎throughout the Islamic world and the November riots over the increased price of gasoline ‎and said, “Over the past several years, the enemies have launched several wars of security ‎in a widespread manner in several countries. All praise be to God, the seditious enemies, ‎disturbers and rioters were strongly defeated and disgraced by the heroic and insightful ‎people of Iran due to the wise planning of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution ‎‎[Ayatollah Khamenei].”‎

The custodian of the Holy Shrine of Lady Fatimah al-Ma’sumah said, “The officials must ‎know that the solution to the organization of the economic and welfare situation of the ‎people is to pay heed to the Supreme Leader’s words of guidance. In economic war, we ‎must turn the enemies’ threats into opportunities by strengthening the national currency, ‎boycotting US dollar transactions, strengthening bilateral cooperation with Islamic countries, ‎fostering a knowledge-based economy and focusing on the innovations and initiatives of the ‎youth.”‎
‎ ‎
He emphasized, “One of the enemies’ cultural attacks that endanger the safety of society is ‎the issue of poor hijab. This unethical phenomenon has its own corruption within it, including ‎its effect on weakening family foundations and increasing the rate of divorce. Lev Tolstoy, ‎the nineteenth century Russian philosopher and thinker, said that the cause of the rise in ‎divorce in Europe, which has disturbed public opinion, is due to the lack of veiling and the ‎fact that men are more reluctant to socialize with women than their wives. Also, women who ‎dress inappropriately are often harassed by lustful men.”‎

Ayatollah Sa’idi said that the women of society must preserve their personality and dignity ‎and said, “By observing the hijab, women protect their families from harm and take actions ‎in a manner which obtains divine consent in order protect themselves and the youth.”‎

The representative of the Supreme Leader in ‎Qom referred to the nomination of candidates ‎for the Islamic Consultative Assembly (parliament) and stated, “The representatives swear ‎to God Almighty by the Holy Quran to protect the sanctity of Islam and guard the ‎foundations and achievements of the Islamic Revolution in the oath which they sign. The ‎representatives swear that they will be faithful, just, committed to the independence and ‎advancement of the country, to provide the‏ ‏‎ interests of the country‏ ‏and serve the people ‎and defend the constitution.”‎

He added, “Those who are elected to the Islamic Consultative Assembly must leave the ‎security of movements and fulfill their religious and revolutionary duties and be the servants ‎of the nation. Those who, when they enter the Islamic Consultative Assembly, are in other ‎worlds and engage in conflicts, don’t represent the people.”‎

Ayatollah Sa’idi emphasized, “The officials must solve the problems facing the country in a ‎far-reaching manner because if they had been thinking about these problems in the past, ‎today we would not have had these problems. Today, we must not just think about solving ‎the problems in a fragmented manner but rather we must take far-reaching action so that ‎the dear people are saved from the problems.”‎
