Hawzah News Agency- Hojatoleslam Hassan Alidadi Soleimani, the Friday prayer leader of Kerman, made the remarks during his Friday sermon on October 9, according to a report by the Hawzah News Agency.
‘In Divine Calculations, Iran Is the World’s First Power’
Addressing the enemy’s multifaceted hybrid war against Iran, Alidadi Soleimani said the country is engaged in all-out defense.
“According to divine calculations, Iran is the world’s first power. In material calculations, Iran is the world’s fourth power, but in spiritual calculations, the Iranian nation succeeded in portraying the world’s superpower in a full-scale picture,” he said.
He described the Axis of Resistance — including Hezbollah in Lebanon, Ansarullah in Yemen, the Palestinian people, and mujahideen in Iraq — as valuable and self-sacrificing friends of the Iranian nation.
“Civilization-building is achieved through power, prudence, and planning, and the discourse of the Islamic Revolution is gaining more serious followers every day on various fronts,” he said.
‘Every Point You Strike, You Will Be Answered’
Alidadi Soleimani emphasized that Iran has placed all its material capabilities at the service of spirituality, telling the Iranian people that their military strength is for the sake of God.
Addressing American officials directly, he warned: “Our missiles will become more precise, more deadly, longer-range, and in some respects smarter every day. However far you move your soldiers and forces beyond the reach of our fighters, we will compensate for that distance by adjusting the range of our missiles. At any point where you harm us, you will receive a response at that same point.”
West’s Human Rights Rhetoric Exposed as Hollow
The cleric pointed to the emptiness of Western liberal-democratic slogans, noting that a world that once claimed to champion human rights over Iran’s handling of armed rioters now remains silent in the face of violent crackdowns on protesters in France.
He also cited Iran’s scientific power and the successful international presence of hijab-wearing Iranian women as evidence of the country’s broader strengths.
Sermon on Islamic Education Principles
In the first part of his sermon, continuing a series on the principles of education from the perspective of Quranic verses and narrations, Alidadi Soleimani highlighted “ease and leniency” as a principle emphasized by Islam.
He cited the Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) statement that his mission was based on a religious law founded on forgiveness and easy commandments, noting that a teacher must assess individuals’ capacity and ask of them only what is within their ability.
He also identified presenting positive and negative role models from the Holy Quran, persistence in admonition, repetition of educational principles against satanic temptations, moderation in education, and its gradual nature as other strategic principles that educators must observe.
Commemorations
In his second sermon, Alidadi Soleimani commemorated the anniversary of the martyrdom of Ayatollah Ashrafi Isfahani, the fifth “Martyr of the Mihrab,” as well as World White Cane Day, World Post Day, and the day honoring the poet Hafez Shirazi, emphasizing the religious duty toward one’s fellow human beings.
