A Man Who is Standing Tall

 

In the name of Allah, the Gracious and the Merciful
“He said: My Lord! because You have bestowed a favor on me, I shall never be a backer of the guilty.”

قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَا أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ فَلَنْ أَكُونَ ظَهِيرًا لِلْمُجْرِمِينَ {17} القصص

The holy Quran guides humankind towards all aspects of our life, it has not neglected which are needs of this materialistic world as well our spiritual life. “We have not neglected anything in the Book,”(6:38) مَا فَرَّطْنَا فِي الْكِتَابِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ

Regretfully we Muslim have forsaken this Book of life thus we do not pusses life, as the holy Quran expresses:

“And the Messenger cried out: O my Lord! surely my people have treated this Quran as a forsaken thing.” (25:30)
‎وَقَالَ الرَّسُولُ يَا رَبِّ إِنَّ قَوْمِي اتَّخَذُوا هَٰذَا الْقُرْآنَ مَهْجُورًا

Every day we all Muslims beseech to our Lord by saying:

“Guide us towards the right path, the path of those upon whom You bestowed Your favours,
Further more the Quran directs towards the people upon whom Allah (swt) showers His blessings:
وَمَنْ يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَالرَّسُولَ فَأُولَٰئِكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَالصِّدِّيقِينَ وَالشُّهَدَاءِ وَالصَّالِحِينَ ۚ وَحَسُنَ أُولَٰئِكَ رَفِيقًا{4:69}

And whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger, these are with those upon whom Allah has bestowed favors from among the prophets and the truthful and the martyrs and the good, and a goodly company are they!
Further more additional guidance comes:

“He said: My Lord! because You have bestowed a favor on me, I shall never be a backer of the guilty.”
قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَا أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ فَلَنْ أَكُونَ ظَهِيرًا لِلْمُجْرِمِينَ {17} القصص

Prophet Moses (a s) disassociate homed self from corrupt and criminals and considers this is a favour of his Lord.

One of the main component of leadership is to stand tall on the values for which he has accepted the challenge of leadership.  In the leadership of Imam Khamenai (may Allah (swt) prolong his life till the appearance of the 12th Imam (ajf)) we see this aspect at its peak.  The uniqueness of Islamic Republic is to establish a just society and eliminate corruption, not only from the nation within but also from the world; for which a leader has to pinpoint the main cause of arrogance, inequity, corruption, wars etc. in the world such an immense basis isolated by a leader, idol breaker Imam Khomenie ®.

In expansion of this aforementioned theme of this presentation I need to elaborate it within the parameters of the subject matter.
A struggle to re-establish Prophetic task of establishment of justice and equity in the modern human society where politics equals lie, corruption, bloodshed and inhuman acts of expansionism.  The founder of such gigantic theme no other than Imam Khominie ® he challenged the most powerful nation like arrogant America inspired by the most authentic source of knowledge the Holy Quran where Allah (swt) is asking Prophet Moses and his brother Aron

“Go both to Faro, surely he has become inordinate.” (20:43)
‎اذْهَبَا إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُ طَغَىٰ

Modernization of human society should never be with the cost of ethical exploitation, being truthful, honest, expanding the good, shunning the bad, fighting against the corruption of self and in society love and care etc. is and will be always exist and considered praiseworthy in all human creeds, at all ages; these traits and virtues will remain intact no one can deny them and never will be obsolete.

In order to understand the phenomenon of fighting against the global exploitation and sleaze from the hands of the most power nations is a challenge for a country relatively small, has limited resources; but Imam Khominie ® has taken this humongous task of eliminating and uprooting the exploitation of third world resources by the hands of devouring nations on top of all was and is USA; while waking up the oppressed nations.  He started this inordinate task from his own country known today as Islamic Republic of Iran.

To understand severity of the task we shall see the UNO’s resent report that the conscious heart bleeds when one ponders on it.  One percent of American possess the wealth of Ninety-nine percent; globally only two percent of blood suckers, warmongers play the greater rule; unfortunate case is the naïve citizen of the such nations are unaware of such despicable situation.  In conclusion I shall say each and every bite these citizen are eating concise of bloods and flush of deprived world citizens.

One statement of Imam Khomeini® has change my approach to the matter:
In 1983 I was one of the invitee of Imams of Jumua prayers from all over the world; one of the agenda of the conference is to meet the Imam I can’t even describe the sensation of the meeting; when Imam enter in the hall all stood up in respect I have seen tears in eyes of all most all audience as if a flood light entered in the hall a brother who was standing beside expressed his feelings by saying: “if this is the light of a leader what about the our beloved Prophet (s s)” he couldn’t relate no one with Imam Khominie (R) but our beloved Prophet (s s). In his short speech the Imam advising the Imams of Jumua prayer he said:

“don’t wait for power to say it but say it you will get the power.”
انتظار نا داشته باشيد قوي بشويد و بگويد بگويد مع قوي بشويد.

 

This very aforementioned statement is a gist of the Quranic teachings; Allah (swt) commanded our beloved Prophet (s s) by saying:

“Continue then in the right way as you are commanded, as also he who has turned (to Allah) with you, and be not inordinate (O men!), surely He sees what you do.”(11:112)
‎فَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَا أُمِرْتَ وَمَن تَابَ مَعَكَ وَلا تَطْغَوْا إنَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ

In expansion of this verse beloved Prophet (s s) said:

“Chapter Hood has turn me into an old man at a place: “Continue then in the right way as you are commanded,”
‎ ‫المروي أن النبي صلى الله عليه وآله عبّر عن سورة هود بأنها شيَّبته لمكان قوله تعالى فيها: (فَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَا أُمِرْتَ‬

In addition he has been commanded by his Lord:

“And do not incline to those who are unjust, lest the fire touch you, and you have no guardians besides Allah, then you shall not be helped.” (11:113)
‎وَلَا تَرْكَنُوا إِلَى الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا فَتَمَسَّكُمُ النَّارُ وَمَا لَكُمْ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ مِنْ أَوْلِيَاءَ ثُمَّ لَا تُنْصَرُونَ

Imam Kazim (a.s) commands one of his follower Safwane Jammal to sold out his camels which he use to rent out for the Hajis by doing you have soft corner towards the oppressor.

Thus a man who is following the Prophetic legacy and the ever lasting legacy of the leader of not only Islamic Republic of Iran but also the leader of Islamic movements namely Ayatullah Syyid Ali Khamenai (May Allah swt prolong his life till the appearance of the awaited savior)

Imam Khamenai who is leading the Islamic Republic and the Muslim Ummah twenty nine years we see the same will and power like of the late Imam Khomieni (R).

He stand with oppressed Palestinian nation as Imam Khomeini (R). Zionist regime considers Iran is a threat to its existence.

His stand against ISIS and many more such movements which were well known sponsored by the bullying powers.

The Hajj messages are the best example of his resistance against tyranny and oppression.

His clear cut religious rulings in regards to the unity of Muslim Ummah said: “No one has the right to defame the companion of the Prophet (s s).”

If Shia, Sunni and other denominations stay united you will see what happens in the world: what dignity will be brought to Islam: Unity! Unity!

In conclusion he stand tall like unmovable hill either domestic political turmoil nor the western threats can change his focused path of the revolution.

Most humble servant of Islam
