Doing sports is not just a profession; it is an aspect of life

I have already talked about sports and I don't know if our youth and athletes have heard my speech, or if they remember. I believe that doing sports is not, in fact, a profession. Doing sports and exercising constitute an aspect of life, just like eating does. Anyone who eats, should also do some exercise. God, the Exalted, has created mankind in a manner, that if you do not exercise, it would affect your body just as it would if you don’t eat or don’t sleep. That is, you would act against your body's requirements. If God the Almighty wanted our bodies to remain indolent, He wouldn't build our bodies with muscles and joints. The joints are there to allow movement. The person who does not walk, does not move, does not use their bodies in difficult times is actually leaving their bodies unused. Thus, doing sports represents an aspect of life. This is my general view of sports.

U.S.’s reaction to Al-Saud’s crimes is shameful

You saw the Saudis committed two crimes against Yemenis, within only one week: at the beginning of the week, they attacked a hospital, killing the patients in the hospital with bombs and missiles; at the end of the week, they attacked a school bus with dozens of innocent 8 and 9-year-old children on board. Do you have 8 or 9-year-olds at home? This is a great tragedy. It truly breaks one’s heart. The Saudis carried out this horrific crime that shook the world.

?What was the main reason for Prophet of Islam’s accomplishment in conveying his message

The Holy Prophet (s.w.a.) carried the message of knowledge, yet there was no knowledge in that society. He carried the message of justice, yet there was no trace of justice in that society and powerful people and bullying rulers dominated people's lives and possessions. He was the messenger of morality, leniency, forgiveness, justice, and kindness, yet that society was devoid of such characteristics in the real sense of the word. The society was full of unkind, bullying, immoral, ignorant, and prejudiced people who were unjustifiably arrogant and who had their hearts set on carnal desires.

Who did Imam Ridha plead divine mercy for?

There is a demand for knowledge everywhere. There is a demand for benevolent words and clear knowledge everywhere. Imam Ali ibn Musa ar-Ridha (a.s.) told one of his companions, "May God bestow His grace on those who revive our command." The man asked, "How can your command be revived?" He answered, "By learning our knowledge and teaching it to people." Then he said, "If people know the virtues of our words, they will obey us."

Believing in a savior is not exclusive to Shi’ism

Believing in the reappearance of Imam Mahdi (a.s.) at one time in history is not specific to Shia Muslims. Rather, all Muslims—including Shias and Sunnis—believe in this notion. However, the Shias are privileged in that they know this Savior by name and features, and believes that he is always ready and prepared to receive the divine order. Any time God the Almighty commands him [to reappear], he is ready to initiate the great movement, which is supposed to revolutionize humanity and history. The lesson and the pragmatic and cognitive teaching we need to learn from this notion is significant.

Bodies of past POTUSs have turned into worm food, Iran stands strong

Who would ever doubt that a government, like the government of the U.S., is a manifestation of corruption and malignancy? What malignant action you know in the world that they have not committed yet? You have seen, during all these years, in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East, in the sea or in the deserts—wherever the Americans felt they can have some benefits, and those benefits are achieved by killing some people— they did not hesitate. At the same time, they chant slogans in favor of human rights. Devils of the world have always been the same[...].

American values, from the massacre of Natives in the U.S., to the massacre of Palestinians

Are these the qualities of the American society today? Was it not your government that massacred the natives of America and destroyed the natives? Even today the people of Palestine are being palpably and openly terrorized and murdered in their own homes on a daily basis and at the hands of the usurpers of their homes. Was your attack on Vietnam not terrorism? Was your attack on Hiroshima and Nagasaki terrorism?

Armed forces of the soft war

The pervasive soft war staged by the enemy today is undeniable. However, some deny it, hence themselves forming a part of the soft war. In this war, artists and intellectuals resemble the armed forces in an actual military war.

Poster: Soft War is an undeniable phenomenon

The pervasive soft war staged by the enemy today is undeniable.  In this war, artists and intellectuals resemble the armed forces in a military war. Some individuals pass by this national event indifferently; some side with the enemies and help them; the first group are irresponsible and the latter are on the side of the enemies.

The nature and characteristic of student movements - at least in our country - is that they are against arrogance, domination and dictatorship and that they are advocates of justice. Perhaps in many other countries too, student movements are like this.

A few recommendations by Ayatollah Khamenei for spouses

Keep secrets of life carefully

Wife and husband should keep each other's secrets. The wife should not say her husband's secrets to anyone. The husband should neither tell his wife's secrets to for example his friends in the gym or a party, etc. Be careful, keep each other's secrets carefully, so that your relationship can be persistent and sweet, God willing. April 13, 1999

Respecting grandparents is an Islamic tradition

Our nation is one that respects the elderly people. This is a tradition that dates back to ancient times. It is also part of the Islamic principles: “Respect your elderlies [Shabaniyah Supplication].” Grandparents are like a candle around whom all other family members flock, like butterflies. Whereas, in Western cultures, grandparents are often ignored. They don’t attend to the generation that they believe ‘looks to the past.’ Even when they respect the elderly to some extent, they don’t actually appreciate them. We, on the contrary, do appreciate the elderly. They gradually managed to do these [in order to promote a culture of ignoring the elderly] via an imposed, forced culture; of course, forced in a new manner! Imposition can be done by pointing the gun towards someone’s head and forcing them to do a particular thing; or else, by means of mass communication, a concept, or an idea is so repeated over and over throughout the society until it is instilled in the minds of the people and—whether they want it or not—this idea is reflected in their thoughts, words and actions.

Saudi regime's accomplices in genocide in Yemen

I will tell you that the notorious enemies of Islamic Iran are covered in filth: the filth of moral and political corruption. They are soaked in filth. Take a look at American politicians today. Take a look at their materialism, their violation of the truth and their indifference to the lives and property of individuals and nations. One example is in Yemen. In Yemen, it is the Saudis who are committing the crime, but the Americans are their accomplices. They themselves have acknowledged this. They target hospitals, markets, the parliament and the places where the people gather. The issue is not about a military dispute, rather they are opposed to nations. They are criminals and soaked in filth.

نماهنگ | و اکنون گام دوم

از میان همه‌ی ملّتهای زیر ستم، کمتر ملّتی به انقلاب همّت میگمارد؛ و در میان ملّتهایی که به پا خاسته و انقلاب کرده‌اند، کمتر دیده شده که توانسته باشند کار را به نهایت رسانده و به‌جز تغییر حکومتها، آرمانهای انقلابی را حفظ کرده باشند. امّا انقلاب پُرشکوه ملّت ایران که بزرگ‌ترین و مردمی‌ترین انقلاب عصر جدید است، تنها انقلابی است که یک چلّه‌ی پُرافتخار را بدون خیانت به آرمانهایش پشت سر نهاده و در برابر همه‌ی وسوسه‌هایی که غیر قابل مقاومت به نظر میرسیدند، از کرامت خود و اصالت شعارهایش صیانت کرده و اینک وارد دوّمین مرحله‌ی خودسازی و جامعه‌پردازی و تمّدن‌سازی شده ‌است. درودی از اعماق دل بر این ملّت؛ بر نسلی که آغاز کرد و ادامه داد و بر نسلی که اینک وارد فرایند بزرگ و جهانیِ چهل سال دوّم میشود.

طرح | جوان پیشرو، دلیل امید

«اعتقاد به جوانان» و استفاده از «نیروی جوان باانگیزه» به عنوان «موتور پیشران حرکت کشور» هموار از نکات مورد اعتقاد و تأکید حضرت آیت‌الله خامنه‌ای از ابتدای انقلاب اسلامی تا امروز در طول مدت مسئولیت ایشان در مناصب مختلف بوده است. همچنین، یکی از مسائل مهمی که رهبر انقلاب اسلامی همواره در جلسات کاری و دیدارهای مختلفی که با مسئولان کشوری و لشگری برگزار می‌کنند بر آن تأکید دارند، مسأله‌ی «خودباوری» و «اعتقاد به وجود راه حل مشکلات در درون کشور» است.

سخن‌نگاشت | بیانیه «گام دوم انقلاب» خطاب به ملت ایران

انقلاب کبیر اسلامی ایران در حالی چهلمین سالگرد پیروزی خود را پشت سر گذاشت و قدم به دهه‌ی پنجم حیات خود نهاد که اگرچه دشمنان مستکبرش گمان‌های باطلی در سر داشتند اما دوستانش در سراسر جهان، امیدوارانه آن را در گذر از چالش‌ها و به دست آوردن پیشرفت‌های خیره‌کننده، همواره سربلند دیده‌اند.
در چنین نقطه‌ی عطفی، رهبر حکیم انقلاب اسلامی با صدور «بیانیه‌ی گام دوم انقلاب» و برای ادامه‌ی این راه روشن، به تبیین دستاوردهای شگرف چهار دهه‌ی گذشته پرداخته و توصیه‌هایی اساسی به‌منظور «جهاد بزرگ برای ساختن ایران اسلامی بزرگ» ارائه فرموده‌اند.
بیانیه‌ی «گام دوم انقلاب» تجدید مطلعی است خطاب به ملت ایران و به‌ویژه جوانان که به‌مثابه منشوری برای «دومین مرحله‌ی خودسازی، جامعه‌پردازی و تمدن‌سازی» خواهد بود و «فصل جدید زندگی جمهوری اسلامی» را رقم خواهد زد.
این گام دوم، انقلاب را «به آرمان بزرگش که ایجاد تمدن نوین اسلامی و آمادگی برای طلوع خورشید ولایت عظمیٰ (ارواحنافداه) هست» نزدیک خواهد کرد.

40 years of miscalculations

On December 31, 1977, the U.S. President of the time visited Tehran wherein he delivered a speech about Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, praising him lavishly and falsely. In that speech, he called Iran the 'Island of Stability'. What does that mean? It means that the U.S. felt assured about Iran – dependent Iran and its servile officials. It means that the U.S. felt at ease because of that stability.
