This is a divine school of thought and action which can train human beings in all dimensions and create an all-encompassing system. It can bring mankind to the level of humanity. (July 8, 1979) The Prophets were all appointed to teach human beings the ways and precepts they do not know. (May 28, 1979) Prosperity and perfection of human being and human societies solely depend upon the obedience of the divine laws which have been sent to mankind through the Prophets. (May 28, 1979) All divine religions have their origins in God, the Most Exalted, the Most High, God's messengers have conveyed them to mankind. These religions are for the prosperity of mankind and to perfect them God, the Most Exalted, intended to guide mankind through His revelations to the great Prophets so that they draw near to human beings in all their dimensions. (May 28, 1979) The superpowers and other schools
of thought have nothing to do with the spiritualities of human beings.
Schools of thought and action which exist in the world and are divine to
not pay any heed to what the role of the inner being of mankind should
be. They do not care what one does when one is alone. They just seek to
preserve their own world.
The Prophets are all miracles who have been appointed to perfect mankind. They all seek to guide mankind onto the straight path of God. They also wanted all human beings to live in peace with fraternal relations. (December 27, 1980) The monotheistic movements and revolutions and all the Prophets are to guide human beings to a path whereby they may seek piety and perfection. (April 22, 1979) There is no law in the non-monotheistic schools of thought and action which deals with the inner activities of human beings and prevents them from certain action even when they are alone. The schools of thought which are not monotheistic, contradict the monotheistic and divine schools of thought revealed to mankind from God. The great messengers of God deal with all dimensions of mankind. (April 22, 1979) The Prophets have arisen with the deprived, have fought against the oppressors and tyrants and have defeated them throughout the course of history. (September 18, 1979) Islam is a political religion whereby everything, even its forms of worship and its ritual prayers have a political nature. (September 18, 1979) In Islam, which we adhere to and we follow, there is no place for racism and racial discrimination. The only important thing is piety and virtue. (October 31, 1979) …. countries are the lands of the tyrannized God, the Most Exalted, the Most High has ordained to give the earth to the deprived and to remove the oppressed and tyrants from the scene of history. (November 29, 1979) If a movement or an action is for the cause of God, it will never be defeated. (May 31, 1979) If a people relies upon spiritualities, they will come out victorious. (September 15, 1980) O, you the deprived of the world, arise and free yourselves from the claws of the enemies of humanity. Do not yield any longer to oppression. God is the supporter of the tyrannized. (September 15, 1980) Assist God, so He will assist you. You, the limitless ocean of Muslims, should arise and crush the enemies of humanity. God, the Most Exalted, the Most High and His great army, will support you, if you return to Him and follow His divine teaching. (September 15, 1980) Whoever claims to be a follower of Jesus should support the oppressed and should fight against the superpowers. Are Christ's teachings, discriminatory teachings? Has Jesus good feelings toward those who are rich and bad feelings toward those who are oppressed, poor and helpless so that you (those who pretend to follow Jesus but are actually tyrants) commit such actions? (August 28, 1980) Fortunate are those who strive for justice and bear the hardships of it. Shame on those who work for the benefit of the oppressors and spies and for trampling upon the rights of people which are against the teachings of Jesus Christ and against the teachings of all the messengers of God. O, you the people of Christ and followers of Jesus, the Soul of God, arise and defend the dignity of Jesus Christ and the Christian nation. Do not let the enemies of the divine teachings and the divine laws introduce the Christian people and clergy in a lopsided and defamed form to the oppressed masses of the world. (August 28, 1980) Fathers of the churches and clergy following Jesus Christ, arise to defend the oppressed and deprived of the world who are entrapped in the hands of the tyrants and oppressors. For the sake of God and in pursuance of the teachings of Jesus Christ, ring the bells just once for the tyrannized people of Iran and condemn the oppressors. (December 23, 1979) Fathers of the churches, arise
to save Jesus Christ from the clutches of these executioners because that
great Prophet hated oppressors who use religion as a tool, as a means of
oppression and worship to reach a position of tyrannizing God's servants.
All divine teachings have been sent from God for the salvation of the oppressed.
And O, you deprived of the world, arise, unite and force the oppressors
out of the scene for, the earth belongs to god and its inheritors are the
deprived.
Had the teachings of the messengers of God, such as Jesus Christ and Moses among the Jews and the Holy Prophet of Islam among Muslims been realized the way they wished, the present, existing problems of human beings would have never existed. (December 23, 1979) At the present juncture, the great governments are committing numerous crimes in the world under the name of Christianity and attributing themselves to the school of Christ, peace be upon him. The same is true about some rulers of Islamic countries who commit crimes under the pretext of being Muslims and in the name of Islam. (January 9, 1980) Islam, in contradiction to all despotic governments is to perfect mankind. The Holy Quran is the book which leads mankind towards perfection. (January 9, 1980) It is the divine and monotheistic schools of thought and action which make true and perfect human beings. (January 9, 1980) Moses, peace be upon him, whose historical story has been told in the Quran and other divine books, was a shepherd. He was the shepherd of Shu'aib and mobilized the people, the masses against Pharaoh who was the greatest power of his time. Pharaoh put the people into a slumber in order to plunder them but Moses awoke them to resist. (January 9, 1980) The goad of the knowledge of
all of the Prophets is human beings. The main topic, the point of their
training and the source of their knowledge is all mankind. They have all
been appointed to train human beings; to help this creature of nature to
arise from the level of nature to the high level of the metaphysical. All
the messengers of God deal with mankind. (January
9, 1980)

| If an
uprising, movement and action are for the cause of God, there will be no
defeat in them. (May 31, 1979)
Move forward in the name of God; guide people in the Name of God; publicize in the Name of God and correct that which is wrong in the name of God. (June 28, 1979) A people who arise for the cause of God, will remain for His cause and will continue to follow the same for the cause of God. (August 17, 1980) The
power and assistance of God brought about victory for us.
Our people with bare hands and without weapons arose and resisted against modern weapons and military power. It was able to crush all powers at the end. (July 17, 1979) That was a divine blessing which made a people with nothing victorious over those powers which were enjoying everything. (June 21, 1979) Our people arose for the cause of God and for the revival of the divine rule. The members of the nation entered the scene of struggle with courage and enthusiasm. They eventually overcame blasphemy, hypocrisy and curtailed the hands of the superpowers from this country at the cost of great sacrifices and the presentation of innumerable martyrs. All of this was for the cause of God and for the sake of Islam. (August 17, 1980) This
victory, achieved by our people, was a blessing by God.
Relying upon God, we will resist against the enemies of Islam, in unison with the world deprived and oppressed nations, until their total annihilation. This same firm faith in God will guarantee our victory over all the enemies. (April 28, 1980) This Islamic movement was a movement based on faith, and the ideology of Islam, and it has been able to progress and advance with the power of Islam and faith. Otherwise, our people had nothing of war materials. (May 25, 1979) Do not thing that our people were in possession of arms and weapons. The people had only stones, sticks and clenched fists as weapons. But the main weapon was their spiritual weapon. The people's spiritual weapon was a firm belief in Islam, a firm faith in God, the Most Exalted, the Most High, as well as reliance upon the source of power and unified expression. (August 9, 1980). We
advance forward in the Name of God, bearing Him in mind.
Did
the people possess weapons at the time (during the time of the now deceased
Shah)? Did the people have machine guns and tanks and cannons at their
disposal? The people had nothing. But they had something more important
and that was spirituality and firm faith in God. This strong faith empowered
the people in such a way that those were previously even afraid of rifles,
now had no fear of thanks.
It was the power of spirituality and firm faith which made you victorious over the army of Satan and of the false gods. (July 2, 1979) If
a people rely upon spiritual values, they will emerge victorious.

| Islam
is a religion whose divine canons and precepts also have a political side.
These sermons of the religious festivals, these congregational prayers,
these ceremonies in Mecca, Mash'ar, Mina, and Arafat all have political
dimensions. They may all be types of worship but political aspects lie
within them. Politics is also a type of a worship and a religious act.
Islam is a religion of worship and politics in which political affairs are indispensible and intermingled with acts of worship. (October 20, 1980) Islam has ordained acts of worship and politics for the people in every area. These congregational prayers (held in all) Islamic states and in all urban and rural areas are all social and political acts. They are aimed at gathering the people of one area into a mosque to deal with their problems and to seek to solve them. Friday congregational prayers are a political and social form of worship whereby every week people get together and solve their problems. (October 20, 1980) One of the characteristics of Imam Ali was that he was a political personality. From his sermons, we have realized that he was a political figure. His letters to Malek Ashtar (Imam Ali's Governor in Egypt) and the commands he gave were all political. (May 23, 1979) Political activities are a religious obligation. (June 21, 1979) Islam is a political religion. Read the letter of Hazrat Ali to Malek Ashtar. Study the command of the Prophet Muhammad (peace upon him and his family) and Hazrat Ali in wars and politics. We enjoy many sources in this regard but we have not the capability to use them. These words, "the Muslim clergymen have nothing to do with politics" is one of the tricks of the colonialists. The colonial powers had injected these words into the minds of the Muslim clergy and they believed them. This caused us to fall back. The human being means everything and the Quran provides everything for the human being: politics, Islamic jurisprudence, philosophy and so on. Interfering politics was an insult for the Muslim clergy. When it was said for example, "This is a political Muslim clergyman," it meant calling him a bad name and the people and the Muslim clergy had come to believe such an issue. (December 24, 1980) All the Messengers of God (peace be upon them all) were involved in politics. Religion is a political mater which motivates the people (December 24, 1980) These
words uttered in all Islamic states that "the Muslim clergy should have
no say in politics" is conspired by the superpowers.
Mosques
had been the centers of initiating all political activities.
The religion of Islam is a political religion in which everything has a political dimension, even its forms of worship, (September 17, 1979) At the advent of Islam, mosques were the center and focal point of all political activities. The plans of Islamic wars were mainly designed in the mosques. (May 23, 1979) We have put aside all the teachings of the Prophets except those which have nothing to do with politics. If a person does not care for other Muslims and does not strive for their betterment, he is not considered to be a Muslim at all. (September 12, 1981) The issue of being involved in political affairs is one of the most important goals of the Prophet's missions. To rise up for the establishment of justice and to force the people to act justly have been one of the most important duties of the Prophets. Are such issues possible to be realized without being involved in politics? Can anybody rise up to establish justice and to meet the social needs of the peoples without considering political and social issues? (September 12, 1981) The saying that religion is separate from politics and the like do not apply to Islam at all. Political activities are a religious obligation for the Muslims. (January 13, 1979). Since the advent of Islam, every movement has been initiated from the mosques. It has been the mosques which created a united front and force against atheism and polytheism.
