HI al-Kaabi’s Remarks About Imam Khomeyni:

Imam Khomeyni’s ideology saved Baghdad from occupation by Daesh | Iranian Revolution: The initiator of the Islamic Awakening in the 20th century

Hujjat al-Islam al-Kaabi emphasized, “With the ideology of Imam Khomeyni, Iran fully supported the Iraqi people as soon as ‎the terrorists reached the gates of Baghdad and Kurdistan.”‎

According to the Communication and Media Affairs Centre of al-‎Nujaba in Iran, Hujjat al-Islam Akram al-Kaabi, the secretary-general of al-Nujaba, spoke at a ceremony marking the 27th anniversary of the demise of Grand Ayatollah Sayyed Ruhollah Mousavi-Khomeyni, the late founder of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, on June 2, 2016, in the Iraqi holy city of Najaf.

In his remarks, His Eminence said, “The prophets, the imams and their followers have been the great guides of truth-seeking and pure human beings for thousands of years and this position is reflected in the character of Grand Ayatollah Sayyed Ruhollah Mousavi-Khomeyni.”

He stated that Imam Khomeyni’s revolution was the beginning of the Islamic Awakening in the twentieth century and said, “Imam’s approach was a free-thinking view of other religions that led to the establishment of Islamic unity and, as a result, brought dignity and solemnity to Islam.”

Hujjat al-Islam al-Kaabi added, “With his great revolution, he was able to change the fate of Iran and the Islamic world. The fate of an Iranian whose nation was under the tyranny of the imperial regime, a system that was the police of the Persian Gulf and carried out the commands of the United States and Israel in the region.”

The senior commander of Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces described the Islamic Revolution as a system to transfer Iran to a new era and said, “The Iranian nation was able to offer the most severe defeat in the history of Islam due to the long and difficult years of fighting against the tyrants and the courageous resistance against the new pharaoh, the Shah, and all his colonial supporters.”

He continued, “The glorious martyr, Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Muhammad-Baqir al-Sadr also described that the Muslim nation of Iran, saying: ‘With the blessing of wise leadership and righteous authority, exemplified by Imam Khomeyni, [Iran] reached the peaks of political consciousness and was able to build the basic foundations of anti-oppression and anti-falsehood.’”

Emphasizing the grief of the founder of the Islamic Revolution for the Muslims of the world, Hujjat al-Islam al-Kaabi said, “Imam Khomeyni did not accept that he had a limited role but rather he carried the concerns of the entire Islamic ummah and outlined the future of this ummah in his conscience.”

The secretary-general of al-Nujaba noted, “In the same manner, Imam Khomeyni was imprisoned, exiled and persecuted but as soon as he returned to Iran, the revolution was revived and he was able to establish an Islamic government.”

In another part of his speech, he pointed to the impact of the actions and ideology of the late Imam on the current situation of the Iranian society and the international community and said, “Since the establishment of the Islamic Revolution, American sanctions on Iran have continued but they have not been able to prevent the tree of this revolution from growing but rather it is the revolution that was able to develop its power to reach an important place in the regional and international equations.”

Hujjat al-Islam al-Kaabi added, “The principles of Islamic truth remained as the method of the Islamic Republic and this revolution was never far from it. The interaction of the Islamic Republic with the people and nations is itself a seal of approval for the claim that at the head of those nations is the oppressed nation of Iraq. With the ideology of Imam Khomeyni, Iran fully supported the Iraqi people as soon as the terrorists reached the gates of Baghdad and Kurdistan.”

While appreciating the support of the revolutionary men of Iran, he stated, “One of the most important humanitarian activities of the Islamic Republic is to support the Islamic Resistance groups in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Palestine. Were it not for the support and self-sacrifice of the Islamic Republic, despite the deadly sanctions and economic blockade imposed by the United States and its allies, the fate of the Muslim ummah and the Arab nations would have been shaken.”
