THE MORE TIME PASSES, I BELIEVE
THE UNIFICATION OF THE RIGHT OWNERS
TO BE MORE OBLIGATORY AND URGENT.
Imam Khamenei

Imam Khomeini through his theological works explained that They know the proofs for the existence of God and the reality of the Resurrection, but these very same intellectual proofs may be veils covering the heart which do not permit the light of faith to shine in.

With the true, influential and lasting narration of Karbala, Hazrat Zainab did not give the enemy’s narration a chance to overcome reality.
Imam Khamenei stated that martyrdom is the peak of spirituality and for reaching any peak, one must cross over the hillside of the mountain, “Many of us wish to reach that peak, but we must pass over the hillside. We must find the path on the hillside of the mountain and tread this path to reach the peak. Otherwise, it is not possible to reach the peak without passing over the hillside.”
He mentioned sincerity, self-sacrifice, truthfulness and diligence as being the path of martyrdom and stated that struggling for justice, paying attention to God, working for the people and establishing the rule of religion are other effective factors along this path.

These two issues are among the most important issues of our day.”
