Hawzah News Agency- When the eyes of this generation opened to the troubled landscape of the region at the beginning of the twenty-first century—specifically in the wake of the major turning points that followed 2000 and 2006, and the battles of dignity that forged their consciousness—they never felt like orphans. For as soon as they turned toward the pulpit of leadership, they found it to be a living, resolute extension of that great Khomeini school. This generation has been a witness to a tumultuous era of conflict; while the international system sought to impose the ideology of unilateral “Hegemony,” the oppressed found sanctuary in the Leader’s cloak and his strategic vision, regaining their spiritual and intellectual equilibrium.
How precious and heartbreaking those details seem today, as the nation stands face-to-face with the reality of this loss and the depth of its bereavement.
When delving into his thought, it becomes clear that the Leader was never merely a “politician” managing a crisis, nor a “religious authority” in the purely traditional sense. He was a deeply complex personality of profound humanity. In his world, a classical Iranian culture—pulsing with a passionate love for poetry and traditional music—intersected with a sharp historical consciousness against colonialism, honed by Indian liberation literature and the nuances of Soviet revolutionary writing. He was known for his passion for world literature, his deep mastery of the Arabic language, and his extensive knowledge of its letters—from his early immersion in translating the thought of Sayyid Qutb to his appreciation for the poems of Al-Jawahiri. He possessed an exceptional ability to absorb diverse cultures and intellectually fuse them in the service of the Resistance front, all while remaining an ascetic man of the world, despite constitutionally overseeing major economic institutions with assets estimated in the hundreds of billions.
Understanding these cultural, spiritual, and psychological references is the true key to understanding his geopolitical decisions. It was these references that shaped, in consciousness, the concepts of “Resistance,” “Identity,” and “Independence,” and through them, he steered the nation’s helm toward this elevation and power. He was the philosopher-educator who molded the consciousness of an entire generation across the geography of the Resistance.
Today, the nation stands at a defining moment that breaks the heavens, confronting the tragedy of absence, living the same trial that many thought history had transcended. The old wound has reopened in hearts, and tears have returned to unleash rivers of anguish in the eyes, as this generation tastes the bitterness of bidding farewell to a leader of a nation and a father of a movement that stood firm against the fiercest storms.
Arise to bury the sun… but tell them: How does one bury the sun beneath the earth? How does the light that illuminated the paths of the oppressed in the East and West of the world fade away?
It is the great historical moment that shakes the very foundations of existence, where it seems that a vast part of contemporary political and cultural memory is being buried with him in that shrine. Yet, the children of this movement pledge to his pure soul to remain as he always wanted them to be: a generation of penetrating insight, solid resistance, and conscious preparation behind Sayyid Mojtaba, to preserve the nation’s entity and sustain its gains. This loss will not deter anyone from continuing the path, for the banner he carried with such honesty and capability will not fall. The journey continues toward the ultimate goal and the fundamental covenant: the liberation of Jerusalem, which dwelt in the pulses of his pure heart and formed the pivot of his strategy.
Farewell, O Khomeini of the era. May your pure soul rest in peace alongside your teacher and first inspiration, and alongside your martyr brothers who preceded you and whom your soul longed to meet; from Sayyid Hassan and Hajj Qassem to Beheshti, Rajai, and all the caravans of light.
Peace be upon you on the day you were born, on the day you led the nation with wisdom and insight, and on the day you returned to the side of your Lord, pleased and well-pleasing.
