Imam Khamenei addressed public on anniversary of the passing of Imam Khomeini

Ayatollah Khamenei—the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution—attended a ceremony in commemoration of the 29th anniversary of Imam Khomeini's, may God’s mercy be upon him, passing; wherein he delivered a speech to the thousands of enthusiasts and admirers of the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran: Imam Khomeini, this afternoon June 4, 2018.

Ayatollah Khamenei elaborates on 6 key points of Imam Khomeini's testament

7 virtues in Imam Khomeini’s model of behavior

First of all, Imam behaved in a courageous and active manner in the face of enmities and enemies. His behavior was not marked by weakness and passiveness. Imam never became passive, nor did he feel weak and exhibit weakness. He confronted the enemies in a powerful and active manner. The second characteristic is that Imam would avoid making hasty decisions out of impatience. He would not get carried away in the face of events, and he would not rely on irrational feelings. His decisions were courageous decisions accompanied by firm feelings based on rational calculations. The third characteristic is that Imam would pay attention to priorities. His focus was on immediate priorities... He always focused on the main issue. The fourth characteristic is that he trusted the capabilities of the people. He considered the people of Iran to be great, well-informed, and capable people. He trusted them, and he was optimistic about them, particularly the youth. Notice how optimistic he was, in his statements, about the people and youth. The fifth admirable characteristic [of Imam] was his refusal to trust the enemy. Throughout his ten-year blessed presence at the top of the Islamic government, Imam did not trust the enemy even for one moment. He was pessimistic towards the enemy's suggestions. He was indifferent towards the enemy's pretentions. He considered the enemy as the enemy in the real sense of the word, and he would not trust the enemy at all. The sixth characteristic was his insistence on the solidarity and unity of the people. --This was another characteristic of Imam's behavioral mode in the face of such enmity. Everything that could divide the people into factions and poles was condemned in the eyes of Imam. The seventh characteristic was faith and firm belief in divine assistance and divine promises: this is a pivotal point. Imam would rely on divine assistance. He would do his very best, and he would stand in the arena with all his existence, but his hope was pinned on divine assistance and divine power.

A mighty, but innocent leader

He was a strong and sovereign man; he managed to overturn the tyrannical, hereditary dictatorship, after two thousand years, in this great country: this requires a lot of strength. He managed to defeat and repel the US government, which had defined strategic interests for itself in our region, and he managed to force them into retreat. He managed to foil dangerous plots and frustrate those who had devised the imposed war. Those who had devised the imposed war pursued a goal of destroying the Islamic Revolution and uprooting Iran's Islamic government. However, our magnanimous Imam turned this threat into a great opportunity. These [aforementioned qualities] are signs of the strength, power, and authority belonging to our magnanimous Imam. Meanwhile, our transcendent Imam was wronged, too, due to extensive propaganda campaigns led by the enemies against him. Offensive propaganda against Imam Khomeini continued, frequently, during his lifetime and after his demise. Some people behaved one-sidedly towards him, while this was unexpected: it was a mark of persecution against our magnanimous Imam. The grief that he felt because of this betrayal and oppression can be seen in his powerful and solid statements and speeches: they reveal that this great man suffered from deep grief, which was another sign that he endured oppression. The final victory of our magnanimous Imam is another point that I would like to stress. He was powerful, oppressed, and victorious. Just like the Commander of the Faithful, our magnanimous Imam achieved victory. His victory shows itself in the solidity of the Islamic government, in the survival of the Islamic Republic, and in the growth, development, and progress of the Islamic government. Many of his visions came true after his demise: national self-worth and self-sufficiency; the scientific, technological, and political progress of the country; and the expansion of influence that the country and the Islamic Republic achieved in the vast region of West Asia and North Africa, are all visions that became a reality. These visions made into a reality are a symbol of victory stemming from Imam's discourse, path, and method.

We should raise children in a way that they would plant a kiss on their mother's hand: Imam Khamenei

We should raise children in a way that they would plant a kiss on their mother’s hand: Islam calls for this behavior. Respect, from child to mother, doesn’t contradict the emotional relationship between mother and child. Women should be held to a high esteem within their families. This is the way to prevent oppression against women.

Remind and claim the ideals

What I would like to stress is that today we are in dire need of repeating, highlighting, working on, and demanding these [revolutionary] ideas in our society: such demands are significant. Demanding that [revolutionary] ideas be met is one of those issues we should not abandon. If this tremendous invasion on public opinion -- carried out by anti-revolutionary forces -- is not confronted, through these demands, it will definitely destroy things. Mentioning, highlighting, and pursuing our goals, and making demands for their implementation becomes a fortress against the destruction of public opinion and intellectual environments -- they are, unfortunately, working on intellectual environments as well -- and also managerial environments. Unfortunately, such attempts have exerted some influence in certain cases. So, an army of pious and revolutionary young individuals is needed here so that it enters the arena and demands the [revolutionary] ideals. The young people, themselves, should help with the implementation of such ideals; certainly, how they can help requires a separate discussion. If there is enough time to reach the second part, I will raise some points about this matter as well. Therefore, there is a need for highlighting [revolutionary] ideals, and this should be carried out with the special language of pious and revolutionary young individuals: whose characteristics are candidness and courageousness in expressing one's ideas. They express their ideas courageously: today, this was almost the case. We felt bravely motivated for saying certain things. Although I did not agree with some of the statements, I approve of courage. I completely approve of this warrior spirit from the young and revolutionary students. These valuable qualities should be constantly, outspokenly, and intelligently pursued by active young individuals.

Imam Khamenei in Meeting with Students:

The revolution has made progress in all Its goals and ideals

The following is the full text of a speech delivered on May 28, 2018, by Ayatollah Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, in a meeting with students on the 12th day of the month of Ramadan.

Hopefulness is the necessary condition for progress

Young forces -- all young individuals -- are another important element. Young forces play a pioneering role: they are, in fact, like a locomotive. They play the role of an engine: when a locomotive moves, it naturally makes the rest of the train move. Of course, this role can only be fulfilled if the responsibilities, which fall on the young forces, are carried out correctly. The spirit of hope, determination, and planning -- these three elements --are necessary as well. First of all, you should not lose one bit of hope. Some are constantly injecting despair into the society: this is carried out as a hostile course of action. Those who are doing this may not really be the enemy, but they are doing the enemy's work. Anyone who injects despair into the society is carrying out the enemy's work. They say, "It is not possible. It is of no use. Everything is in a mess." --This is the enemy's work. Hope is a necessary condition. Another element is determination and willpower: this involves carrying out decision-making: such elements require decision-making. Another element is planning. These tasks are not possible without planning: you should have these three elements in mind.

Ramadan, an opportunity to unleash the soul from the material world: Imam Khamenei

Ramadan provides the human soul with an opportunity to break free. The month of Ramadan is an opportunity for our souls to be purified of material factors that surround us. It provides an opportunity for our souls to become illuminated. This is the reason behind the existence of the month of Ramadan in sharia - it is an opportunity.

A selection of the statements of Imam Khamenei:

Why aren't the three European countries reliable?

After the US withdrew from the nuclear deal known as JCPOA, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution gave a speech at Farhangian university and referred to the matter of continuing the agreement with three European countries, stating: "I do not trust these three countries and tell you not to trust them." Hence, the website of Khamenei.ir explores and issues some previous actions of these European countries against the Islamic Revolution of Iran and other countries, based on the statements of the Leader.
