„Не поверю, что человек, не имеющий моральных принципов, может служить народу.“

„Не воспитав себя, невозможно изменить страну.“

„Достоинства и недостатки уходят корнями в школу, и ключи от благополучия находятся у учителей.“

„Первая школа ребёнка — материнские колени.“

„Власть должна считать себя частью народа.“

„Пророки старались не поднимать меча, кроме как против порочных людей, развращающих общество.“

„Молитва выводит человека из мрака. Когда человек покидает этот мрак, он становится человеком, действующим для Всевышнего, он работает, но делает это в угоду Богу, сражается во имя Него, убивает и восстаёт для Него. Молитва не тормозит человеческой деятельности.“

„Конечно, неправильные методы и ошибочные действия прежних коммунистических руководителей в сфере экономики привели к тому, что Вам явился цветущий сад Запада и заворожил Вас, но знайте, что истина не там. Если Вы пожелаете на этом этапе распутать только клубок экономических проблем социализма и коммунизма, обратившись с этой целью к очагам капитализма на Западе, то не только не излечите свое общество от недугов, но придете к тому, что другие будут вынуждены исправлять Ваши ошибки, ибо если ныне марксизм зашел в тупик в своих экономических проблемах, то и западный мир погряз в тех же проблемах, только в другой форме и других сферах. Вам следует обратиться к истине. Основная проблема Вашей страны лежит не в вопросах собственности, экономики и свободы. Ваши трудности заключаются в отсутствии истинной веры в Бога, и это ведет, и будет вести Запад в трясину пошлости, в тупик. Ваша основная трудность заключается в тщетной длительной борьбе против Бога, основного источника бытия и всего сущего.“

„Если общество обернётся к Богу, то будет жить в условиях, исполненных справедливости и покоя.“

„Мы предпочитаем жить в нищете, но свободно и независимо.“

„Будьте уверены, что если кто-то говорит "я", это "я" Сатана.“

„Свободное перо не строит заговоров.“

„Если цель будет Божественной, то её ждёт победа.“

„Победа достигается кровью, а не мечом.“

„Мы хотим цивилизации, основанной на чести и гуманизме.“

„Мой завет всем пишущим и ораторствующим: хотя бы раз останьтесь наедине со своей совестью.“

„Непобедим народ, для которого мученическая смерть является счастьем.“

„Мы не против радио, мы против разврата; мы не против телевидения, мы против средств, служащих чужим, тормозящих развитие нашей молодёжи и лишающих нас человеческих ресурсов.“

„Культурная зависимость влечет за собой экономическую, социальную, политическую и другие зависимости.“

„Чем более высокая и значительная цель поставлена, тем труднее и мучительнее путь к ней.“

„Достойные, не позволяйте, чтобы ваше место заняли недостойные.“

„Защита Истины и Ислама является наивысшим богослужением.“

„Правительства состоят на службе у народа. Их дело служить, а не править.“

„Моё завещание всем мусульманам и обездоленным мира заключается в том, что вы не должны сидеть сложа руки и ждать, пока правители ваших стран и иностранных государств принесут вам в дар свободу и независимость…“

„Знания в злобном уме губительнее невежества.“

„Знайте, что мировая и дьявольская пропаганда, направленная против вас, свидетельствует о вашем могуществе.“

„Источник спасения в самом народе.“

„Счастливы те, кто ушли через мученичество. Несчастный я, что все ещё живу.... Принимая это решение смертоноснее чем пить из отправленной чаши. Я отдал себя воле Аллаха и выпит этот напиток для Его удовлетворения.“

“Islam's jihad is a struggle against idolatry, sexual deviations, plunder, repression, and cruelty. The war waged by [non-Muslim] conquerors, however, aims at promoting lust and animal pleasures. They care not if whole countries are wiped out and many families left homeless. But those who study jihad will understand why Islam wants to conquer the whole world. All the countries conquered by Islam or to be conquered in the future will be marked for everlasting salvation. For they shall live under”

“In Iran's future Islamic system everyone can express their opinion, and the Islamic government will respond to logic with logic.”

“As the imperialist countries attained a high degree of wealth and affluence— the result both of scientific and technical progress and of their plunder of the nations of Asia and Africa— these individuals lost all self-confidence and imagined that the only way to achieve technical progress was to abandon their own laws and beliefs. When the moon landings took place, for instance, they concluded that Muslims should jettison their laws! But what is the connection between going to the moon and the laws of Islam? Do they not see that countries having opposing laws and social systems compete with each other in technical and scientific progress and the conquest of space? Let them go all the way to Mars or beyond the Milky Way; they will still be deprived of true happiness, moral virtue, and spiritual advancement and be unable to solve their own social problems. For the solution of social problems and the relief of human misery require foundations in faith and morals; merely acquiring material power and wealth, conquering nature and space, have no effect in this regard. They must be supplemented by, and balanced with, the faith, the conviction, and the morality of Islam in order truly to serve humanity instead of endangering it. This conviction, this morality, these laws that are needed, we already possess. So as soon as someone goes somewhere or invents something, we should not hurry to abandon our religion and its laws, which regulate the life of man and provide for his well-being in this world and the hereafter.”

“Sexual vice has now reached such proportions that it is destroying entire generations, corrupting our youth, and causing them to neglect all forms of work. They are all rushing to enjoy the various forms of vice that have become so freely available and so enthusiastically promoted. Why should it be regarded as harsh if Islam stipulates that an offender should be publicly flogged in order to protect the younger generation from corruption?”

“At the start of their mission, the prophets first confronted the upper class; Hadrat Moses, confronted the Pharaoh. The upper class enjoys the priority of being confronted and guided first.”

“If you pay no attention to the policies of the imperialists, and consider Islam to be simply the few topics you are always studying and never go beyond them, then the imperialists will leave you alone. Pray as much as you like; it is your oil they are after— why should they worry about your prayers? They are after our minerals, and want to turn our country into a market for their goods. That is the reason the puppet governments they have installed prevent us from industrializing, and instead, establish only assembly plants and industry that is dependent on the outside world.”

“Their plan is to keep us backward, to keep us in our present miserable state so they can exploit our riches, our underground wealth, our lands, and our human resources. They want us to remain afflicted and wretched, and our poor to be trapped in their misery. Instead of surrendering to the injunctions of Islam, which provide a solution for the problem of poverty, they and their agents wish to go on living in huge palaces and enjoying lives of abominable luxury.”

“Islam is the religion of militant individuals who are committed to truth and justice. It is the religion of those who desire freedom and independence. It is the school of those who struggle against imperialism. But the servants of imperialism have presented Islam in a totally different light. They have created in men’s minds a false notion of Islam. The defective version of Islam, which they have presented in the religious teaching institution, is intended to deprive Islam of its vital, revolutionary aspect and to prevent Muslims from arousing themselves in order to gain their freedom, fulfill the ordinances of Islam, and create a government that will secure their happiness and allow them to live lives worthy of human beings.”

“Islam proclaims monarchy and hereditary succession wrong and invalid. When Islam first appeared in Iran, the Byzantine Empire, Egypt, and the Yemen, the entire institution of monarchy was abolished. In the blessed letters that the Most Noble Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) wrote to the Byzantine Emperor Heraclius and the Shahanshah of Iran, he called upon them to abandon the monarchical and imperial form of government, to cease compelling the servants of God to worship them with absolute obedience, and to permit men to worship God, Who has no partner and is the True Monarch. Monarchy and hereditary succession represent the same sinister, evil system of government that prompted the Lord of the Martyrs (Hussain bin Ali -- peace be upon him) to rise up in revolt and seek martyrdom in an effort to prevent its establishment. He revolted in repudiation of the hereditary succession of Yazid, to refuse it his recognition.”

“The Sunna and path of the Prophet constitute a proof of the necessity for establishing government. First, he himself established a government, as history testifies. He engaged in the implementation of laws, the establishment of the ordinances of Islam, and the administration of society. He sent out governors to different regions; both sat in judgment himself and appointed judges; dispatched emissaries to foreign states, tribal chieftains, and kings; concluded treaties and pacts; and took command in battle. In short, he fulfilled all the functions of government. Second, he designated a ruler to succeed him, in accordance with divine command. If God Almighty, through the Prophet, designated a man who was to rule over Muslim society after him, this is in itself an indication that government remains a necessity after the departure of the Prophet from this world. Again, since the Most Noble Messenger promulgated the divine command through his act of appointing a successor, he also implicitly stated the necessity for establishing a government.”

“The prophetic mission created a scientific-gnostic change in the world that converted the insipid Greek philosophies, which were formulated with all their past and present worth by the Greeks themselves into an objective mysticism and a veritable intuitive perception for masters of divine insight.”

“That which eases calamities is the fact that all are departing mortals. All of us will pass away; so, it is better to be sacrificed in His path.”

“O nation, wake up! O government, wake up! Everybody wake up! You are all in the Presence of God. Tomorrow (in the next world), you will be called to account. Do not ignore the blood of our martyrs, and do not quarrel over position or status.”

“You were invigorated by mindfulness of God, migration from oneself to God—which is the greatest migration—migration from ego to the truth, and from this world to the unseen world.”

“Evidently, adoration, worship and sanctification of God require knowledge and awareness of His Most Exalted Station as well as the Attributes of His Glory and Grandeur; without due knowledge and awareness, these cannot be fulfilled.”

“The essential purpose of revelation is to develop divine knowledge in man.”

“It is better for a girl to marry in such a time when she would begin menstruation at her husband's house rather than her father's home.
Any father marrying his daughter so young will have a permanent place in heaven.”

“To please the Lord and carry out the decrees of the Holy Christ, let the bells in your churches peal out in favor of the oppressed Iranians, and in condemnation of the oppressors.”

“Apprise your veiled and drooping hearts that the universe, from the highest heavens [ala al-illiyyin] to the lowest in hell [asfal as-safilin], is a manifestation of God, the Blessed and Exalted, and all are in the threshold of His Power.”

“[If] you have divine motives, material benefits will follow suit but they are no longer material; they have become divine.”

“The essence of praise accrues to none but God; your praise of a rose or an apple is [in essence] praise of God.”

“That which admits man to God's Threshold is his separation from all that is not of God—a thing which is not attainable by all.”

“Most of the wailings of the awliya [pious believers] is caused by the pain of separation and detachment from the Beloved and His Generosity.”

“Only God, the Exalted, is the light; everything else is darkness.”

“We have sacrificed much blood and many martyrs. Islam has sacrificed blood and martyrs.”

“There are hundreds of other [Koranic] psalms and hadiths urging Muslims to value war and to fight. Does all that mean that Islam is a religion that prevents men from waging war? I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim.”
