Awareness and unity of the nation
The necessity of the awakening of the nations was among the issues that the Imam (RA) considered a necessary condition for starting the struggle and believes: "It must be shared with the nations; just as in Iran, it was the Iranian nation that was the cause of the disaster that was happening to Islam at the hands of America and its henchmen, the infamous Pahlavi regime, it was these Iranian youth and this Iranian nation... and it was these young people of the Basij and the Iranian tribes who understood their duty together, woke up and clenched their fists together and drove the tanks out of the scene with their fists. In order for the nations not to find such an awakening and in order for the nations not to find unity as one, they must know that they are condemned to corrupt governments and condemned to the criminal America and other superpowers. Despite having all those reserves, all those possibilities."
Relying on Islam in the struggle against evil powers
As the problems of Muslims increased, most Islamic intellectuals came to the conclusion that the only way to deal with the problems (including tyranny, colonialism, etc.) was to return to the original and pure Islam. And the root of misfortunes is the distance from the original Islam. And this is the point that the Imam (may Allah have mercy on him) emphasized, the awakening of the oppressed nations and oppressed Muslims depends on their raising Islamism, and they had full faith in the victory of Islam: "I say with confidence that Islam will bring the superpower to the ground of humiliation. Islam will remove the great obstacles inside and outside its borders one after another and will conquer the key strongholds of the world" (ibid., vol. 20, p. 118 (.
The Imam's proposal of this ideal is not dependent on having power, an issue that caused some people to doubt and doubt: Some people think that since we do not have the power to establish Islam and justice in the world, then we do not have a duty, unaware that the divine prophets have also proposed ideals that were not possible to realize in their era and time, but they answer this doubt with a clear statement.
Call to faith and Islamic unity
Islamic unity is the only way to fight against the arrogant, and the main factor in the liberation of nations. Imam Khomeini, may God have mercy on him, says in this regard: "By the will of God Almighty, although we were helpless and our nation had no weapons or military equipment in its hands, we overcame the forces of the tyrants through the power of faith and the unity of the word. And I hope that all Islamic nations will rise up and, with the unity of the word and with the consideration of Islam and the power of faith, overcome the foreigners and those who want to have these nations under their control and domination forever. The secret of the victory of Muslims in the early days of Islam was the unity of the word and the power of faith. We must fight the forces of disbelief with the power of Islam and remove the hands of criminals from our countries. If unity was the word of Islam and if the states and nations of Islam were united, it would not make sense that the nearly one billion Muslim population would be under the control of the powers. If this power, the great divine power, were combined with the power of faith and everyone walked together in brotherly love on the path of Islam, no power would overcome them.”
Enemy recognition and all-round uprising against enemies
The Imam (may Allah have mercy on him) believes that the main reason for the destruction and defeat of Islamic nations and states against arrogant states is the lack of all-round uprising of different groups, which will lead to the destruction of their honor and human values: “If today the different groups of nations, from religious scholars to speakers, writers and committed enlightened people, do not all-round uprising and do not reach the oppressed countries and nations by awakening the great masses of Islamic humanity, their countries will undoubtedly be destroyed and become more and more all-round dependent. And the Eastern atheistic plunderers and, worse than them, the Western atheistic plunderers will suck out the roots of their lives and destroy their honor and human values.”
Imam Khomeini (may Allah have mercy on him) considers enemy recognition a religious duty and always emphasizes it. One of his outstanding characteristics is his deep insight into the enemy and its tactics and his advice to the people to be vigilant against conspiracies: “The Islamic countries and the oppressed people of the world should find their Islamic power and not be afraid of the scoundrels of the East and the West and their affiliates and scum, and should rise up with trust in God Almighty and reliance on the power of Islam and faith and cut off the hands of criminals from their countries.”
Strengthening the spirit of faith and struggle against colonialist governments
Imam Rahmi says: Today, Islamic Iran, thanks to its strong faith and commitment to Islam and the great transformation that has been achieved in various strata, cuts off the hands of the East and the West and the deviant parasites from its country and does not allow any power to make the slightest interference in the Islamic country of Iran. And this is a decisive argument for Muslims and the oppressed of the world that no one can raise their hand to aggression and oppose it at the will of the nations, and a nation that has chosen the latter between humiliation and martyrdom is invincible.
Announcing comprehensive support for the Islamic awakening
Given that the dictionary of the Imam's (may Allah have mercy on him) movement is the fulfillment of duty in line with divine commands, therefore this idea is not limited to a specific time and place. Imam says: "We fully support all countries under domination to gain freedom and independence, and we explicitly tell them that the right is to be taken, rise up and overthrow the superpowers from the stage of history and times. I have said many times and I warn you now that if the oppressed East and Africa do not rely on themselves, they will be trapped forever.”
The inability of the powers to confront the awakened nations (the manifestation of the awakening in the nations)
Imam Rahmatullahi alaihi said: The cry that comes from the heart of a believer overcomes everything; it overcomes the White House and it overcomes the deaf.
