Today we stand in the need for offering hope and optimism to this nation. We owe everything we have gained to it. Whatever we have achieved today is thanks to these great masses. We should not forget that so many people have lost their lives right from 15th Khordād[1] to this war. So many people have turned handicap and so many have lost their homes only to secure the independence of this country; to gain freedom for this country and to ensure that we are liberated from our earlier miseries and so that we can have an Islamic country. A country which follows God and His Commandments!
Sahifeh-ye-Imam, V 14, P 13-14
