The revered source of emulation added, "The Islamic Revolution turned its sense of loss into self-esteem and courage so that people would stand with strength and power against the enemies. This self-esteem and courage caused the people to resist and triumph over all of the conspiracies."

Referring to the unique blessings of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, he said, "Wilayat al-Faqih [Guardianship of the Jurisprudent] was able to eliminate the tools of arrogance and tyranny in the country. Due to the blessings to the Islamic Revolution, an establishment based on wilayah [guardianship] was formed in Iran, which is a model for other countries."

Ayatollah Nouri-Hamadani stated that we must be well acquainted with the culture of Imam Khomeini and the Islamic Revolution and put it into practice, said, "The Islamic Revolution has several arms and one of the most powerful and important arms is the Revolutionary Guards."

The prominent teacher in the Islamic Seminary of Qom, said, "The Revolutionary Guards have had a special impact on the dignity and strength of the Islamic Revolution and have provided security and power for the establishment. It is natural that the enemies consider such a powerful arm 'terrorism' and want to confront it but that those inside seek to weaken this powerful arm of the Islamic Revolution is not acceptable."

He noted that all armed forces are united and active in the defense of the Islamic Revolution and everyone is obliged to support these forces in order to witness the strength and authority of the Islamic establishment.

Referring to the role of the scholars and Islamic Seminary in the victory and survival of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Nouri-Hamadani added, ''The scholars and the elders have played a very important role in the fruition of the Islamic Revolution. Today, scholars have the task of answering doubts by strengthening their academic power.''

His Eminence said that the scholars must be with the people and keep them present on the scene and added, ''The scholars are the sanctuary of the people and we must be vigilant that the Islamic Revolution does not go astray because it is the duty of everyone to protect the establishment and its achievements.''
