إلى جمیع الشباب فی أوروبا وأمریکا الشمالیة

بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم

إن الأحداث الأخیرة فی فرنسا وما شابهها فی بعض الدول الغربیة أقنعتنی أن أتحدّث إلیکم مباشرة.
أتحدّث إلیکم أیّها الأعزة دون أن اتجاهل دور والدیکم، لأنی أرى مستقبل شعبکم وأرضکم بأیدیکم، وأرى أن الإحساس بضرورة معرفة الحقیقة فی قلوبکم أکثر حیویة ووعیاً. وکذلک فإنی لا أخاطب الساسة والمسؤولین عندکم لأنی أتصور أنهم بعلمٍ ودرایةٍ منهم فصلوا درب السیاسة عن مسار الصدق والحقیقة.
حدیثی معکم عن الإسلام وبصورةٍ خاصةٍ عن الصورة التی یعرضونها عن الإسلام لکم.

Message of ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, Leader of The Islamic Republic of Iran

 In the name of God, the Beneficent the Merciful

 To the Youth in Europe and North America,
The recent events in France and similar ones in some other Western countries have convinced me to directly talk to you about them. I am addressing you, [the youth], not because I overlook your parents, rather it is because the future of your nations and countries will be in your hands; and also I find that the sense of quest for truth is more vigorous and attentive in your hearts.

I don’t address your politicians and statesmen either in this writing because I believe that they have consciously separated the route of politics from the path of righteousness and truth

Aux jeunes d'Europe et d'Amérique du Nord Version imprimable 21/01/2015

Grâce au nom de Dieu, Clément et Miséricordieux

Aux jeunes d'Europe et d'Amérique du Nord

Les événements récents survenus en France ainsi que d'autres faits similaires dans certains pays occidentaux m'ont convaincu de vous écrire ce message. J'ai choisi de m'adresser à vous directement non pas par une volonté délibérée d'ignorer vos parents, mais parce que le futur de vos pays est entre vos mains, et que la quête et recherche de la vérité anime davantage vos cœurs. De même, je ne cherche pas ici à m'adresser aux responsables politiques car je pense qu'ils ont, de façon consciente, séparés les chemins de la politique de ceux de l'honnêteté et de la franchise

「抵抗の精神は、イラン軍の名誉と権威の源」

イランイスラム革命最高指導者のハーメネイー師が、「抵抗の精神は、イラン軍の名誉と権威の源だ」と強調しました 

ハーメネイー師は、30日日曜朝、イラン海軍の司令官や関係者を前に演説し、「海軍は、軍事力と備えを強化し、国家の治安維持と防衛のための重要な役割を継続すべきだ」と語りました
また、「聖典コーランが我々に教えているのは、確かな信仰心と抵抗の精神があれば、可能性や設備が限られていようとも、敵に勝利できるということだ」としました
さらに、イランの領海線の長さとこの地域への敵の莫大な投資に触れ、「イラン軍は、政治的な関係を考慮に入れることなく、常に準備を高めており、敵の可能性や弱点を調査した上で、戦略的な計画を立てている」と強調しました。
ハーメネイー師は、平和の時代は、イラン軍が科学や建設の分野に貢献し、抑止力を高めるための貴重な機会だとしました。
また、「イラン南部から南東部にかけてのモクラーン沿岸の開発は重要な活動であり、政府の協力により、この地域での計画を早急に進めるべきだ」と語りました 

The Route of Imam Hussein from Mekka to Karbala

 

The map shows the Route that Imam Hussein (A.S) took when he left Makkah for Iraq. The date was 8th Zilhijja 60 Hijri (10.9.680 AD). With him there were about 50 people including women and children of his family and friends. His uncle Ibne Abbas and his brother Muhammad-e-Hanafiya did not go with him. They came to bid farewell and tried to warn the Imam of the dangers ahead. Muhammad-e-Hanafiya told him that the Makkans and other pilgrims were wondering why he was leaving just one day before the Hajj. Imam left a letter with his brother which explained his position clearly. The letter read as follows

Medina: the Roots of Karbala (Part 2)

The Piercing Arrows

The monsters that fought Imam Hussein in Karbala had no mercy whatsoever. They did not respect the family of the Prophet. However, it is one thing to ignore the voice of righteousness and the voice of God embodied in Imam Hussein, but it is a completely different thing to actually attack and kill him while claiming to belong to the same religion. One could ask: what kind of audacity is that?

The answer lies in the cries of Lady Fatima. Not long after her father's martyrdom, she was crushed between the door and the wall. Her chest was pierced with a nail. A rib was broken. She suffered a miscarriage. She was beaten, hurt, injured, and left bleeding by the enemies of God.

If the daughter of the Prophet was treated in such a cruel manner by certain hypocritical companions of the Prophet, it comes as no surprise that there were so-called Muslims in Karbala who fired spears and arrows at the grandson of the Prophet.

Spare No Children

One of the most heartbreaking moments in Karbala was the martyrdom of the six-month-old Ali Asghar (peace be upon him). He was a baby whose only 'crime' was being the son of Imam Hussein. Yet Yazid's army did not spare him and even slaughtered him.

One stands in shock before this disturbing image. Today, human rights organizations stand to defend every person, especially children and babies. Even if the baby is still in the womb of the mother, its right to life is respected.

But Medina holds a memory of its own. The attack on Lady Fatima not only injured her own body, but they led to her miscarriage.

This alone shows the cruelty of the attackers. Not only did they disregard the fact that she was the daughter of the Prophet and a woman, they disregarded the fact that she was pregnant. They attacked her despite all that.

Attacking a mother and a baby yet to be born was only the beginning, and the Umayyads followed this terrible legacy by killing the infant children of the Prophet's Household.

Maybe the mother of Ali Asghar found solace in Muhsin (peace be upon him), who was martyred even before coming into this world. Yes, the heinous act of massacring innocent childen did not begin in Karbala. We saw it 50 years earlier in Medina.

The Roots Indeed...

The Ahlul Bayt suffered tragedy after tragedy, and their followers continue to be oppressed to this very day. But Imam Hassan (peace be upon him) summarized the crux of the matter when he said, "No day is like your day, O' Aba Abdillah." But as we commemorate the tragedy of Karbala, let us remember that the tragedy of Lady Fatima Zahra laid the foundation for the Umayyads' massacre at Karbala. It was also the foundation for the oppressors who followed to kill and torture the Ahl-ul -Bayt and their followers to this day.
