English translation...they make many people Shia. In one place, when that Husayni ethos (Husayniyat) reaches there, an organization like Hezbollah is formed, and it stands against the oppressor. In another place too, when the Husayni ethos reaches, the revolution of Iran comes about. In one place, when the Husayni ethos reaches, what happens? They say, "No, we only have to shed tears for Husayn; we only want intercession from Husayn; we only have to [offer condolences to] Lady Zahra with our tears." All these things are correct, but that spirit, the purpose of Husayn, has been taken out from within it.

English translationAnd we will go from Jannat al-Baqi toward Najaf, and then from Najaf we will reach Karbala, row upon row, and from Karbala we will go toward al-Quds, and we will wipe Zionism from the face of the earth. We will go from Jannat al-Baqi to al-Quds. And there was a goal that Khomeini set: it was achieved, Iraq was won, Karbala was freed. And the goal of al-Quds, too, is Khomeini's, indeed it is Khomeini's gift; we will free our first qibla (the first direction of prayer). We will go from Jannat al-Baqi to al-Quds. We will widen the circle from Najaf to Karbala, indeed we will widen it; we will go from Jannat al-Baqi to al-Quds. And all the devils together kept thinking hard; on every front, at every time, the leader (rahbar) stood firm. The House of Saud is taking its last gasp, and this time we will celebrate Ghadir in the house of God.

Brothers and sisters the way that causality works in Islam is sometimes spiritual causes also overcome all physical causes Now They have more weapons they have more media They have everything There are no other physical causes that they could potentially even possibly have but one dua from one Imam they don't have. One blood drop spilt by one innocent shaheed, they don't have. one Sayyid Hassan, they don't have All of the physical causes will go away.

During the course of the revolution, there were some individuals. There was an alam. The leader talks about this. And he would be debating with mumineen, and one of his debates was this. He said that, “Why do we have to say three salawat after we say Imam Khomeini’s name? We say Rasulullah’s name, we only say one salawat. Imam Khomeini’s name, three. What is this?” The guy who’s from the khawas, who understands, is trying to talk gently to the alam, explain to the alam. He’s like, “Right now we’re in a struggle. When you say the name of Imam Khomeini, this is jihad.” He said, “Once we win, we’ll say three salawats every time we hear the Prophet’s name. Right now, saying the Prophet’s name, that’s not the jihad. What hurts the enemy is saying Imam Khomeini.”

Establishing a government, establishing a government was not the goal. That was just the first step. Our goal is to have an Islamic civilization.” … This is why the leader, when you listen to the leader, he constantly emphasizes and advises the government and the leaders in the government that, “Listen, we have no problem having a relationship with any country while maintaining our respect and dignity and honor of our own people.” We bow to no one except Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

I remembered one of the shohada from Dafaa al-Muqaddas they said to him you're just a child. They captured him and they said you're just a child did Khomeini lower the age of enlistment? That he's sending children to fight his battles? And this Qasim of our modern times, he said no Khomeini lowered the age of love, of lovers. This was Qasim.
