In the Name of the Most High
“And never will Allah grant the disbelievers a way over the believers.” (Qur’an, 4:141)
“The Message of Tens of Millions of Mourning People, in an Embrace of Tears and Resolve, at the Farewell and Funeral Procession of the Martyred Leader, Imam Khamenei (may God sanctify his soul).”
A Heartfelt Note from the People’s Message in Realizing the Legal Structure (Governance Framework) and the Genuine Structure (Spiritual and Value-Based), and a 37-Year Governance Program:
Dr. Mohammad Banaeian Sefid – Member of the Think Tank of the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution, and Head of the Lifestyle Committee in Islamic Governance of the National Professors’ Basij Organization of Iranian Universities.
First Message:
The farewell and funeral ceremony symbolized the greatest display of power, resistance, steadfastness, and allegiance to the martyred Imam and the new Imam. In reality, it was a second referendum of “Yes” to the Islamic Republic system – manifested through the physical presence of the masses, bearing red banners (symbolizing retribution and vengeance against the vile, child-killing murderers of criminal America and the usurping Zionists), the colorful national and international flags of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the flags of the Islamic Resistance Front, Hezbollah of Lebanon, and the banners of blood vengeance – “Yā Lathārāt al-Ḥusayn” and “Yā Lathārāt al-Khāmene’ī.”
Second Message:
This farewell and funeral demonstrated the will of a nation in unity and cohesion – the great Iranian nation, for whom Iran is a red line for every Iranian and every freedom-seeker, regardless of religion, ethnicity, or intellectual and sectarian affiliations.
Third Message:
It was a pledge of allegiance to and support for the guardianship and leadership (Velayat), which ensures the stability and continuity of Islamic governance in the world and among free nations – a pledge of obedience to Ayatollah Imam Sayyid Mujtaba Khamenei (may his shadow endure) and the Commander-in-Chief.
Fourth Message:
This Islamic Revolution is founded upon monotheism, worship, and submission to God. Its coherence rests on religion and knowledge. The martyred leader internalized this, legalized it, and aligned it with the governance model of the Holy Prophet, the Imams, the Founder of the Revolution (Imam Khomeini), and the component of hope.
Fifth Message:
It conveyed the depth of devotion and attachment of the people to their martyred leader – expressed through tears, resolve, the demand for vengeance, blood retribution, and careful adherence to the message of the living Imam in negotiations (with the calm utterance: “My soul departs in peace”).
Sixth Message:
It reflected the concrete and perfected understanding of “the people being raised (as a mission)” and “the symbol of the clenched fist” – drawn from the statements of the martyred Imam – interpreting and explaining the social Ba’that (missionary uprising) before the eyes of the world.
Seventh Message:
The message of “We must rise” – as an eternal call to uprising across all domains: defense, deterrence, resistance, patience, hope-building, participation in nation-building through scientific, economic, social, cultural, and artistic development, dignified international interactions and relations, and domestic and international media.
Eighth Message:
The presence of officials, scholars, and political figures from around the world at the farewell and funeral, as well as symbolic ceremonies held in various Islamic, European, and African countries – including proxy funeral prayers, Qur’an recitations, and numerous religious gatherings in some nations – demonstrated the bond and devotion of peoples worldwide.
Ninth Message:
The global media coverage – including major outlets from America, Britain, Algeria, Al-Arabiya, Al-Manar, Spain, Indonesia, and others – of the messages, defense, funeral, and the tens of millions in attendance, who could not ignore this historic event, signified the export of the Islamic Revolution’s goals and global awakening. This was a symbol of power and the fruit of the resistance of Islamic Iran.
Tenth Message:
It articulated the intellectual system and thoughts of the martyred leader, through which the legal and genuine (spiritual and value-based) structure of Islamic governance was designed and operationalized over 37 years of leadership. This revolution and governance are now prepared to face any crisis or tension.
Eleventh Message:
It reflected the martyred leader’s deep attention to safeguarding the Islamic Revolution, his recognition of the loyal and insightful people of every faith and nationality in Islamic Iran, the resistance front, and freedom-seekers worldwide, and the people’s faith in Islamic principles, values, and humanity. His words – “I have an imperfect body…” – addressed to the people: “I love you all and pray for you,” will resonate broadly, just as they did in the epic and unparalleled presence of the people in the Tehran Uprising, the Red Rising of Qom, and the trans-border movement of the Atabāt (holy shrines) in Iraq – in Najaf and Karbala – which will manifest on a global scale.
Twelfth Message:
The martyred leader was the complete embodiment of the school of Islam and the Ahl al-Bayt, adapted to the contemporary world, and a follower of the religious and political thought of Imam Khomeini (the great architect of the Islamic Revolution). God willing, he will establish a new world order through the negation of global arrogance – rooted in the school of faith, the reinforcement of justice-seeking, the struggle against oppression, and resistance against the oppressors – which is the core of the governance of Imamate and leadership. Those who align with this intellectual framework operate within a system based on the Qur’an and the Ahl al-Bayt. State administrators must walk this path to realize the New Islamic Civilization, the Second Phase of the Islamic Revolution, the Islamic-Iranian lifestyle, and the Islamic-Iranian progress model in accordance with this intellectual system. The living Imam and Commander-in-Chief, having been immersed in this intellectual framework for many years, now reinforces it and expects its realization by officials and the people, in accordance with society’s needs and based on Islamic and human principles and values.
Thirteenth Message:
It highlighted the martyrdom-like oppression endured by the martyred leader – his courage and forthrightness during the events of 1998 (1377), 2009 (1388), and others – all in defense of the people’s votes and his refusal to accept illegitimate demands from those whose leaders were in contradiction with Islamic principles and deviated from the path of the Islamic Revolution. He never sought personal gain. Many came to understand the truth of his actions and sought his forgiveness.
Fourteenth Message:
It underscored the courage of the martyred leader, who was never intimidated by the threats or seductions of global arrogance. He broke the taboo of intimidation that had plagued Iran’s rulers for the past 196 years – during which vast territories of Iran (over 3.5 million square kilometers) were ceded to foreigners through disgraceful treaties under the Qajar, Pahlavi I, and Pahlavi II dynasties – without any achievement. Beyond territorial losses, mineral resources including oil and energy were handed over, and they could not even confront the threats of a single ambassador or company director. But under the Islamic Revolution, despite three wars by aggressors and proxy wars, not an inch of land was lost.
In the imposed war and the combined war with vile America and the rabid Zionist entity (the second war – 12 days – and the third war – Ramadan), whose goal was to topple the Islamic Republic, fragment Iran, and seize oil and energy resources within three days – after years of threats flaunting military and economic power, through direct or proxy aggression by traitorous and sell-out agents over resources, even appointing their own managers and paying them salaries (as under Pahlavi II) – not even China or Russia could have confronted such aggression and mass killings. But the martyred leader, with his deep understanding of the faith and knowledge of the Islamic Iranian nation, and with defensive preparedness and deterrence, confronted the powerful, economically and scientifically advanced aggressors through the resistance and steadfastness of the Imam and the nation. This resulted in a global scandal for them and their military bases worldwide – especially by dictating to neighbors their own insecurity. Global America became aware of Iran’s power and steadfastness. Ultimately, he sacrificed his precious life for the nation and Iran in a friendly country – the place where he lived and worked for 37 years of governance, Imamate, guardianship, and leadership – and ascended to the heavens with his family.
And our final call is: All praise belongs to God, Lord of the worlds.
