โIn the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
โโIndeed, Allah has bought from the believers their souls and their possessions in exchange for Paradise. They fight for the cause of Allah, kill, and are killed. This is a true promise binding upon Him in the Torah, the Gospel, and the Quran. And who is truer to his promise than Allah? So rejoice in the transaction you have made with Him, and that is a great success. [The believers are] those who repent, worship, praise [Him], journey [for His cause], bow and prostrate [in prayer], enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong, and observe the limits set by Allah. And give good tidings to the believers.โ
(Quran 9:111โ112)
โMay Godโs greetings and blessings be upon the great teacher of the Ummahโs historic awakening and his martyred companions.
โIn tribute to the lofty character of the peerless personage of our age, the radiant sun of the Islamic Revolution, the embodiment of the all-encompassing nature of Islam, the Master of the Martyrs of the Islamic Ummah during the Occultation, the architect of the New Islamic Civilization, the foremost disciple of the school of thought of the late Imam Khomeini (ra), the great Leader, the Mujahid Martyr, Grand Ayatollah Imam Sayyid Ali Khamenei;
โAnd in reverence for the glorious event of his self-sacrificing struggle and bloody ascension, which awakened nations, hastened the humiliation and downfall of the most wicked enemies of God and humanity, and brought the nation and the Ummah closer to the pinnacle of felicity in the first decade of the โSecond Phase of the Islamic Revolutionโ;
โAnd in remembrance of the epic of the great awakening of the Muslim nation, the Ummah, and the oppressed peoples of the world; and in defense of the Islamic Revolution and Islamic Iran;
โThe Committee for the Commemoration of the Ascension of the Mujahid Martyr, Grand Ayatollah Imam Khamenei (may God sanctify his pure soul), is hereby established, and you are appointed to be one of its members.
โUnder the guidance and command of his worthy successor, the Leader of the Islamic Ummah, the Deputy of the Imam (Mahdi) (may God hasten his reappearance), His Eminence Ayatollah Sayyid Mojtaba Khamenei (may God preserve his exalted presence), this committee is tasked with describing the thought and conduct of the โMartyred Leader of Iranโ and depicting the radiant dimensions of his personality with the aim of continuing the progress in traveling the path and following the message of that divinely guided Leader. This Commemoration Committee must work to raise awareness of the โschool of thought of the Mujahid Martyred Imam.โ In this way, strengthening the spirit of awakening among the nation and the Ummah; deepening national and Islamic solidarity, and self-cultivation in the fields of religion, reason, knowledge, and resolve; as well as building society as a prelude to the New Islamic Civilization, may be facilitated and accelerated.
โThe Commemoration Committee must take into account the broad international audience, which stretches from Muslims in East Asia to young people in Europe and North America, and includes students supporting Palestine in universities across the United States, who were addressed in the three letters of the Mujahid Martyred Imam. While giving due attention and support to initiatives started by the people, it must design well-considered programs in all cultural, artistic, political, and social fields, taking into account the diversity of its audiences. They must then conduct these programs within the designated timeframe. The Commemoration Committee is expected to act in accord with the emphatic recommendations of the Mujahid Martyred Imam to avoid ceremonial formalities and unnecessary expenditures.
โItโs hoped that all efforts to commemorate this great, exalted, divine figure will earn the satisfaction and favor of our Master, the Patron of the Age and Time, may God hasten his reappearance.
โRespectfully,
โSayyid Mohsen Khamenei
