AhlulBayt News Agency: "10-day Fajr Festival of the Islamic Revolution" marks the significant days in the history of the Iranian people. On the occasion of the 46th anniversary of our neighboring Islamic country, a grand seminar was organized at Minhaj-ul-Hussain in Lahore, in collaboration with Al-Mustafa International University (Pakistan Representation).
According Shia News Pakistan: The event was attended by Dr. Masoudi, Director-General of the Iranian Cultural Centre; the founder and chief patron of Minhaj-ul-Hussain, Allama Dr. Muhammad Hussain Akbar; Dr. Ghulam Jaber Muhammadi, Director of Education of al- Mustafa Pakistan; Allama Muhammad Sabtain Akbar, Principal of Minhaj-ul-Hussain; Administrator of al- Mustafa Pakistan, Maulana Adnan Alvi; Maulana Liaqat Ali Awan, In-charge of Publications of al- Mustafa; Maulana Zahid Hussain Bukhari, In-charge of Affiliation of al- Mustafa Pakistan; Allama Sajjad Hussain Jawadi; Hajia Khatoon Raqiya Akbar, in charge of Jamia Zainabiyya; Professor Shamaaila Azhar; Khatoon Farwah Sabtain; Khatoon Saima Rabab, and other teachers and students of the university.
The speakers highlighted the events of 22 Bahman 1357 (11th February 1979), discussing the return of Imam Khomeini to his homeland after 15 years of exile, the declaration of a provisional government, the joining of many soldiers to the Islamic revolution, the Air Force's allegiance to Imam Khomeini, and the mass participation of people in demonstrations under Imam Khomeini's orders.
These events led to decisive moments that ultimately resulted in the success of the Islamic revolution. On 22 Bahman, the 2500-year-old monarchy system was overthrown, and the 15-year struggle of the people under the leadership of Imam Khomeini succeeded, leading to the triumph of the great Islamic revolution in Iran.
The Iranian people celebrate every year the 10-day Fajr as the day of their freedom and independence from global imperialism. This great revolution is the result of the pure blood of martyrs, the struggle of the Iranian people, and the leadership of Imam Khomeini.
The Iranian people firmly believe that this revolution will be connected to the global revolution of Hazrat Mahdi (A.S.), and they will also celebrate the establishment of the divine, just government during the era of Hazrat Qaim (A.S.).
The speakers shed light on the impacts and blessings of the Islamic revolution, saying that today, in such a short time, the Islamic Republic of Iran has illuminated the world just as Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) sacrificed everything for the elevation of Islam, enduring hardships and establishing an Islamic state despite the sacrifices of his loyal companions.
Similarly, Imam Khomeini, by bringing Islam into the light of the world, defeated the Pharaohs of the time, and, guided by the teachings of Muhammad and his family (A.S.), laid the foundation of an Islamic government, which remains a true representation of Islam.
Today, Iran is once again raising the flag of Islam under the leadership of its beloved leader, Ayatollah Khamenei. The speakers prayed for the continued friendship between Pakistan and Iran, hoping that these neighboring Islamic countries will remain united, as they always have been in times of difficulty. A special prayer was offered for the safety and prosperity of both Pakistan and Iran.
