AhlulBayt News Agency: In a powerful spiritual testimony, Grand Ayatollah Abdullah Javadi Amoli, one of the most revered sources of emulation in the Shia world, has extolled the Iranian nation for its unparalleled sacrifice and steadfastness in defending the homeland and Islamic values.
His eminence declared that the people—men, women, youth, and children—did not merely fight a war; they granted dignity to the very soil of Iran and transformed a lifeless era into a living civilization of honor.
Speaking on the enduring legacy of popular mobilization during the Sacred Defense and beyond, Ayatollah Javadi Amoli described the scene of families—fathers, mothers, and small children—coming to the streets to support the combatants as nothing short of angelic.
"Sometimes you see a great, dignified, and majestic man appearing with his entire family—young and old. These are the angels of the earth," the revered cleric stated.
He asked rhetorically: "In which era, in which land have you ever witnessed such pure souls?"
Raised by the Qur'an and Karbala
The Grand Ayatollah emphasized that this unique spiritual and revolutionary character was not a product of political slogans alone. Rather, it was the fruit of authentic Islamic upbringing:
"These people were raised by the Qur'an. They were raised by Karbala. They were raised by Imam Hussain ibn Ali (peace be upon them all)."
According to Ayatollah Javadi Amoli, the Iranian people did not simply defend geographical borders. They bestowed honor upon a land that had been rendered lifeless and humiliated during the Pahlavi dynasty.
"They gave honor to this soil. They gave honor to the earth. They gave honor to this era. The dead soil of the Pahlavi era—they brought it back to life."
A Source of Pride for Future Generations
His eminence emphasized that the coming generations will look back at this period with a sense of profound privilege and pride—not because of material wealth or technological advancement, but because of the spiritual and civilizational stature of the people who lived through the Sacred Defense.
"Future generations will take pride in the fact that they lived in an era whose people—men and women, young and old—appeared on the streets in such a state and supported the warriors. They will say: 'Our honor lies in having understood that age. We grasped those days when a person would step into the field with all their family dignity, despite the risk of danger.'"
A Prayer of Gratitude and Supplication
Concluding his remarks, the Grand Ayatollah expressed profound humility and gratitude toward every individual who contributed to this epic:
"We express gratitude to all of them. We show humility before all of them. We pray for all of them. We beseech the Almighty God to bestow upon every single one of these children, infants, youth, fathers, and mothers—honor, majesty, glory, and the highest virtues in this world and the Hereafter."
Civilizational Commentary
In the broader context of the ongoing civilizational war between the camp of monotheism (Tawhid) and the global hegemonic system, Ayatollah Javadi Amoli’s words serve as a spiritual compass. They remind the world that the strength of the Islamic Republic lies not in its military hardware alone, but in the faith-rooted, family-centered, sacrifice-ready culture of its people—a culture revived by the Islamic Revolution and sustained by the memory of Karbala.
As the Axis of Resistance continues to face down the US-Zionist arrogance, the Grand Ayatollah’s message reaffirms that true civilizational power flows from divine training, not from the fleeting glitter of showcase towers or Western-backed regimes.
