The head of the Dar al-Thaqalayn Wali al-Asr Institute described the unity of the seminary and the university systems as one of the factors behind the victory of the Islamic Revolution and said, “Under the Pahlavi regime, the seminary was associated with the Islamic Revolution but it was not discussed at the university. When the unity of the seminary and the university systems was formed in this regard and all political groups, clergymen and university students worked to establish Islamic rule, this revolution succeeded.”
He stated that the enemies are seeking to destroy the Islamic Revolution through various conspiracies, saying, “The enemies have come to a conclusion that a military attack can’t inflict damage on the Islamic system and for this reason, they consider the only way to inflict harm the Islamic Revolution is to create divisions and dissension among the Islamic ummah.”
Ayatollah Faqihi emphasized that Israel, the United States, Saudi Arabia and some Persian Gulf states have come together to create divisions between the faithful and the revolutionary people of Iran and if they succeed in spreading sedition and discord in the country, they will achieve their own evil goals.
His Eminence pointed to the necessity of expanding national unity and solidarity in Iranian society and said, “The spirit of unity and solidarity among the officials and the people must be strengthened and the influence of hypocrites and ill-wishers must be prevented. Such an Islamic Revolution will be protected from enemies. Otherwise, with divisions among the people and the polarization of society, the Islamic Revolution will suffer from various incidents and seditions.”
Referring to the counsel of the Supreme Leader in regard to the recent riots, he said, “During the recent sedition, the enemies planned a lot to suppress the Islamic system and now the weapons they have brought into the country have been discovered.”
Ayatollah Faqihi added, “In the recent events, the Supreme Leader provided the essence from his personality to maintain the security and peace of the country and he has supported the government in the issue of gasoline, contrary to some views. With the correct counsel of the Supreme Leader, the enemies’ plan was overcome and they failed in their sedition.”
