| My thoughts have never left my country. They remain there. I think of all those compatriots who, under the reign of my father and myself, pulled Iran out of darkness and servitude and transformed it into the great nation it was in 1978. Today, away from our country, I prove my gratitude to them by but a single means, yet one which I believe firmly to be the most powerful of all – prayer. I pray for those in the agony of poverty and death. I pray for our youth, deceived and misguided. I pray for those who suffer in silence. I pray for those who are hunted and slandered. I pray for those who remain blind to falsehood and deceit. May God enlighten them and remove hate forever from their hearts. O God Almighty, in Whom I have believed all my life, preserve our country and save our people." Answer to History P. 190 |
