We want all countries to have this kind of harmony we have here. All Muslims should be one hand against the aliens. Everyone in his own environment with whatever government and whatever sect, should be independent. Muslims should be brothers and friends to one another; they should relate to each other; armies of all Islamic[...]

If there were no dispute among Islamic governments and Islamic countries, America could not rule over all countries and take away all their resources. We plan to keep our country independent, to live free and to come to terms with all Muslims of the country and with all inhabitants of the country. We wish to[...]

We extend our hands to all Islamic countries and want them to join us and be brothers with us, as Islam has said so that we overcome our problems. They should not think this unity in Iran is harmful to them. Iran is an Islamic country and wishes welfare for all Muslims. Iran sees all[...]

According to Imam Khomeini, Knowledge is light, but in a black corrupt heart it spreads wide the skirts of darkness and blackness. Imam explains the matter and sheds light on the matter through his works as following: A knowledge which would draw man closer to God, in a worldly soul brings him far distant from[...]

If one memorizes and recites the Noble Qur’an in all fourteen different canonical methods of recital, if it is for anything other than God, it will not bring him anything but covering and distance from Haqq Ta‘ala (God). If you study, and go to some trouble, you may become an ‘alim, but you had better[...]

since his learning was not accompanied by refinement and purification, since he did not advance on the path toward God, and since he did not remove the pollution from himself, he bore the fruit of ignominy. If man does not cast pollution from the core of his soul, not only will whatever studying and learning[...]

When evil enters knowledge in this center, the product will be evil, root and branch, an evil tree. However much these concepts are accumulated in a black impure heart that which covers them will be greater. In a soul which is unrefined, knowledge is a dark cover Therefore, the vice of a corrupt ‘alim is[...]

Imam Khomeini's viewpoint on Self Building ] 1403/07/14

With regard to this, Imam Khomeini said in following historic messages as following: Imam Hassan rose up against the king of his day, Muawiyah, as far as he was able, even though at that time most people had sworn allegiance to Muawiyah and recognized him as their king. And when he was betrayed by a[...]

Imam Hassan (may God's peace be upon him) did not have as many problems with others as he had with his devoted friends. The companions who did not have any sense of understanding as to what plans the Imam of their time is following, they, with their narrow-mindedness and defective thoughts, resisted against him and[...]

Subject: Irans uncompromising stance toward the superpowers and supporting the struggles of Palestinian and Lebanese nations Right from the beginning of our struggle, the Palestinian and Lebanese causes have always been an integral part of our objectives, not seperable from Irans concerns. On the whole, a Muslim should not simply take care of a certain[...]

Imam Khomeini's viewpoint on Purification 1403/07/21

America has worked out schemes so as to curb the hands of the defenseless people of the region away from their destiny. Unfortunately, some states help them; Fahad and Sadats plan is one of them. Assuming that American plan is completely Islamic, we can not believe that they take a step in the direction of[...]

Do you expect us to remain indifferent towards America, Israel and other superpowers that want to swallow the region? No, we will never reach a compromise with any of the superpowers; we will be under neither American domination nor Soviet Unions. We are Muslims and want to live. We want to live a humble life,[...]

We want a civilization resting on dignity and humanity, which can keep peace. The superpowers want to bring humanity under their domination. We, you and every Muslim are bound to stand up against them and not to compromise with them and reject plans like that of Sadat and Fahad. It is incumbent upon us to[...]

I assure you that our concerns are inseparable from yours. But you know very well that America and its internal agents did not leave us alone for a moment. Therefore, if we did not help you properly, it was because we were entangled with these criminals. We consider Lebanon as ours. Shiites in Lebanon and[...]

We hope to keep our unity. The point I want to remind you of is that you should not listen to the idea that ―it is not possible to encounter the superpowers‖. You can do if you want, because God supports you. This concept, raised by the superpowers through their agents, that you can not[...]

Stand on your own feet and stay firm and steadfast with God. Strive to progress in humanity before any other progress. In this case, God will help us maintain our independence, freedom and Islam. God willing you are successful. May Gods peace, mercy and blessings be upon you. 1403/07/30

The first sermon In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful All praise is due to God, Lord of the Worlds; and may peace and greetings be upon our Master and our Prophet, Abul-Qasim al-Mustafa Muhammad; and upon his untainted, pure, chosen Progeny, particularly the Remnant of God on earth. O God, verily I[...]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful Dear Muslim Nations! Dear courageous youth of the region! The heroic mujahid, Commander Yahya al-Sinwar, has joined his martyred comrades. He was a shining image of Resistance and struggle. He stood with unwavering determination against the cruel, transgressive enemy, striking them with his acumen and courage.[...]

All the blessings, favors, and everything that takes place in life is a manifestation of God’s mercy. But in this noble verse, this mercy is in accordance with His "might" and "wisdom." Divine might means the Lord's power prevails over all of existence. Divine wisdom refers to the consistency and stability of all the laws[...]

If a nation wants to avoid a crippling siege by the enemy, it must open its eyes from the very outset and be vigilant. When it sees the enemy going toward another nation, it should consider itself to be an ally of that innocent nation that is being oppressed. It should help them and cooperate[...]

The Palestinian nation has this right [to defend itself]. This is a strong logic that international laws affirm today too. Who does Palestine belong to? Who are the Palestinian people? Where did these occupiers come from?! The Palestinian nation has the right to stand against them. No court, no institution, and no international organization has[...]

The audience I'm addressing in this Friday Prayer sermon is the entire Islamic world, in particular the dear nations of Lebanon and Palestine. We are all grieving and mourning the martyrdom of our dear Sayyid. This is a significant loss and it has truly caused us to mourn. Of course, our mourning does not mean[...]

Since the evil, abject enemy is unable to inflict serious harm on the solid Hezbollah organization, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and other organizations that fight on the path of God, it considers terrorism, destruction, bombardment, the killing of civilians, and bringing grief to unarmed people to be a sign of its victory. What is the consequence[...]

Hezbollah is truly a "Shajarah Tayyibah" [Blessed Tree]. Hezbollah and its heroic, martyred leader are the essence of Lebanon's historic virtues and identity. We Iranians have long been familiar with Lebanon and its merits. Figures such as al-Shahid Muhammad ibn Makki al-Amili, Ali ibn Abd al-Aali al-Karaki, al-Shahid Zayn al-Din al-Amili, Hussain ibn Abd al-Samad[...]

It is our duty and the responsibility of all Muslims to repay our debt to the wounded, bloodied Lebanon. Hezbollah and the martyred Sayyid have taken steps in defense of Gaza and jihad for Al-Aqsa Mosque, delivering a blow to the usurping, cruel regime. They have provided a vital service to the entire region and[...]
