Statements in the meeting of the Haj Qassem Soleimani family and the headquarters of his anniversary

On the eve of the second Martyrdom anniversary of General Haj Qasem Soleimani

in the name of God

Praise be to God, the Lord of the worlds, and the prayer, and peace be upon our master Muhammad, and his pure and last remaining of them on heaven and earth.

May God send his blessing on our dear martyr, a noble man whose story of martyrdom became a national event, and also an international event. And so it's the second anniversary, and people are doing things [in his honor], and to which I shall later refer to. We are, in fact, following the people, and our meeting and our talks, and the likes, are in fact following the initiative of the people, which is taking place all over the country. I said a sentence: "Soleimani school". Martyr Soleimani became a school or was a school, and about this school, I have seen several books published that I had not seen before. If we want to explain what we call the "Soleimani school" in one or two short sentences, we must say it is "truth" and "sincerity". These two words are in fact the title, symbol and indicator of Soleimani school. "Truth" means the same thing as in the noble verse " Among the faithful are men who fulfill what they have pledged to Allah " (3), which I will now briefly explain. Sincerity is also what is stated in several verses of the Qur'an, including this noble verse, Say: I am commanded that I should serve Allah, being sincere to Him in obedience. These two Quranic titles formed the movement of Martyr Soleimani. This blessed move, which blessed both the life of this man and his martyrdom - are present in the supplication of Imams pilgrimage: And He seized you by his own choice, and made your enemies the proof; God took your soul, the taking of the soul is the hand of God, but this taking of the soul created a conclusive argument for your enemies and the enemies of God. It is the same here; Well, souls are the hand of God; Everyone must die and everyone dies in some way; The martyr also passed away - and the quality of his martyrdom was the conclusive argument for the enemy and all viewers. So, what does " men who are true to the covenant" mean? It means to deal honestly with the goal, with the divine covenant, with the ideals. This is our problem; In many cases, our foot is limping in truthfulness of our movement and treating ideals of Islam and the revolution. This man literally acted and practiced honesty in his life, as far as we have seen and known; Whether in the holy defense, or after the holy defense, as the chief responsible of the Quds Force, or as a Quds Force. Honest means: To alleviate the suffering of Mujahideen in the way of ideals;

Loyalty to Islam and the revolution; He remained faithful to Islam and the revolution with all his being; He remained faithful to the covenant he had made with God and with the Imam; He remained faithful to his duty to the people of Iran and to the Muslim nation, with great care in action and with all his being; He was careful both in the duty to the Iranian nation and the duty to the Islamic nation.

Some try to create a duality of Iranian nation and Muslim nation; This is rooted in the hands of the enemy. They are doing it. Of course, some people make mistakes and inadvertently follow the same line. Inside, we sometimes see the one who works for the Islamic nation not necessarily focusing on or vice versa. Our dear martyr, Martyr Soleimani, proved that he can be both the most national figure of the country and the most public figure of the Muslim community; He was the most national figure and the most public figure of the Muslim community at the same time.

Was he the most national figure? How do you know? From his funeral! Which of the national gatherings we have had in these many years of the revolution era - which is the time of great gatherings – were similar to the funeral of Martyr Soleimani in which tens of million participated? Who were these? This was the nation. The nation cannot be portrayed in illusions; This is the reality of the nation that exists. Tens of millions buried this man after his martyrdom; So he is the most national. He is also the most public figure in the Muslim nation because in these two years, his name and memory are becoming more and more influential in the Islamic world. The name of Martyr Soleimani and the memory of Martyr Soleimani are constantly repeated in the Islamic world, and it is constantly increasing; Man is observing and seeing this. He was truly a manifestation of truth: one of the men who are true to that which they covenanted with Allah.

The close observance of his work showed true r manifestation of effort; Tireless work; Tireless. Sometimes, for example, when he went to a country, he would come back and send us a report, and when I read this report, I was amazed at the huge amount of work that has happened in these few days. I have taken a copy of a number of these reports to keep to myself; I also wrote on it that I keep this so that it can be seen in the future, to find out how much work this man did. I now have several copies - two or three reports - of this kind. Tireless work.

With courage; That is, something not ordinary and requires courage, it needs courage; And relies on rationality; Both courage and rationality; Both are admirable; With tact. He knew both the enemy and his tools correctly. Martyr Soleimani knew the facilities of the enemy that he could use and strike.; He had full recognition of the enemy facilities and at the same time he entered the field with courage and strength. He was not afraid of the enemy and chose the way of work wisely. I said several times in the presence of some high-ranking officials of the country, who became a martyr himself - both in his presence and in his absence - that he was doing his job wisely. His courage was unique as can be heard in the stories told. He was tactful and careful. This is "truth"; "He was one of those who are true to that which they covenanted with Allah.

 Now his sincerity; Truthfulness and sincerity. If there is no sincerity, the work will not be blissful; It is sincerity that blesses the work. How can his sincerity be understood? Since he did not seek to be seen at all; he fled from being seen for even a bit. He was fleeing from being seen, now it is as if the whole world is seeing him; The whole world is seeing him. He did his work for Allah, he did not pretend, he did not boast; The first worldly reward that Allah Almighty gave to this sincerity was the funeral of tens of millions. This funeral was the first reward of his sincerity in the world; Now the reward of the Hereafter is reserved in its place; The spread of the name of Martyr Soleimani and his personality, his memory and his name throughout the world, was the worldly reward [for him]. In these two years, the name of Martyr Soleimani has been mentioned thousands of times by people. This year, too, people are spontaneously holding tributes - which I said I will return to - this is due to the sincerity of this dear one. Martyr Soleimani became a role model; Martyr Soleimani became a role model which is a very prominent fact. Today, many young people in the Islamic world - especially in this region, what I know is about this region - are thirsty for the presence of heroes like Martyr Soleimani; They are thirsty today. The more Soleimani's memory is published, the more their interest, their thirst for the presence of such heroes in their own countries increases. Today, Martyr Soleimani is a symbol of hope and self-confidence in our region. ‌ He is a symbol of courage, symbol of endurance and victory. Allah does these things; These are not in anyone's hands; We do not know how to do such things by any means. These are the works of Allah. Someone said Martyr Soleimani was more dangerous to his enemies than Commander Soleimani; He understood correctly; He really is. Those who martyred Martyr Soleimani and the beloved Martyr Abu Mahdi and their other companions two years ago thought it was over; Look at their condition today and see what their condition is. See the status of America! It is fleeing Afghanistan like that, and in Iraq it has to pretend to leave - of course, the Iraqi brothers must follow the issue vigilantly - It has to say I will play the role of advisor after this; That is, to admit that he does not want to have a military presence there and cannot. Look at the issue of Yemen, look at the issue of Lebanon. The anti-arrogance current in the region, the current of resistance in the region, is moving and working today more prosperous more cheerful and more hopeful than two years back. They stumbled in Syria too, and, there is no hope for their future; These are the blessings of this dear blood and the blood of the oppressed. The martyr was quoted as saying in a speech that whoever lives a martyr becomes a martyr; And lived that way; The martyr really lived; He lived a martyr. Some of the moral characteristics of the martyr are also [significant]. I am now reading a book on the description of the moral condition and life of this martyr - "The Soleimani I Know"; (6) I think this is the title - there are some interesting things there. It quotes one of his old friends saying the grandson of a martyred friend of Martyr Soleimani was undergoing an operation he went to the hospital and stood until the operation was over. The mother of that child said, "Well, Haj Agha, the operation is over, you can go back to work; He said no, your father - that is, the child's grandfather - was martyred in my place, and I am standing here in his place now; He stayed until the child regained consciousness, and once his mind was set at rest for that child he left. This is how he treats the martyr's family, and he has a special treatment for the miscreants and the corruptors; One kind abroad, one kind inside the country, one kind for south of Kerman and that region of Jiroft and his attitude is also apparent in the things he did in those years.   He showed power, and the decisive and vigorous movement he made, was such that when he entered a place and his presence was realized, his very entry would destroy the spirits of the enemy. Even today, the arrogant are afraid of his name, they are afraid of his memory; See in cyberspace - you probably know more than I do; - What do they do with his name? This is another punishment, it is bigger punishment for us and the cyberspace officials of the country to understand what they have to do, so that the enemy cannot behave in any way it wants, wherever it wants. And so the arrogant have the key to the existing cyberspace of the world; They are also afraid of his name and are afraid of its reproduction; ‌ This is what role model is; They are afraid that it will reproduce. In any case, Martyr Soleimani is immortal, he is alive forever; Those who martyred him - Trump and his likes - are in the dustbin of history and will be among the forgotten of history in that dustbin, but he is alive forever; The martyr is like this and his enemies will be lost and buried. Of course, God willing, they will be lost and buried after they pay the worldly price for what they did. You, his esteemed family, his friends and comrades, and Commander Qaani, whose work is very good, and thanks to Allah God, is moving, all of you, , follow this route, go forward. And God Almighty has promised us victory: God will defend those who believe; (10) He has promised to defend. Well, we are moving in the direction of divine will and divine goals, and the nation is working for Islam; After defense, comes victory: God will help those who help him. If you help God, He will help you and make your feet firm.

We hope that, God willing, all of you will be successful and firm. The things that this lady mentioned are also good things; God willing, all of this will continue in the best way.

And peace be upon you and the mercy and blessings of God be also upon you.
