1
00:00:00,570 --> 00:00:03,310
In the Name of God, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:14,910
و الحمدلله ربّ العالمين و الصّلاة و السّلام علي سيّدنا و نبيّنا ابي‌القاسم المصطفي محمّد

3
00:00:26,050 --> 00:00:36,800
و علي آله الاطيبين الاطهرين المنتجبين الهداة المهدييّن سيّما بقيّة‌الله في الارضين

4
00:00:37,820 --> 00:00:51,370
This meeting is a very sweet and interesting session in that the fragrance of martyrdom has imbued it.

5
00:00:52,850 --> 00:01:06,280
Yes, not all families of martyrs are here, but a group of dear families of our martyrs,

6
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:15,820
both martyrs of [the Defenders of] the Shrine, and martyrs of border guards, and martyrs of the Army – the [Army’s] Ground Force –

7
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:35,710
and martyrs of the IRGC (Islamic Revolution Guards Corps), and martyrs of the police force, and others have gathered here and the fragrance of martyrs has spread in the atmosphere of this Hosseiniyeh (religious gathering place).

8
00:01:39,020 --> 00:01:53,370
Martyrdom is a strange concept, is a strange topic, [and] is a profound topic.

9
00:01:54,280 --> 00:02:13,080
Martyrdom means to make a deal with God, [and enter into] a mutual [and] trouble-free deal with the Almighty God;

10
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:19,200
both the commodity is known and the price of the commodity are [also] known.

11
00:02:20,620 --> 00:02:35,480
The commodity is [human] life. Life is the main asset of any person in this material world;

12
00:02:35,820 --> 00:02:44,910
this is the commodity; [and] this is what you offer.

13
00:02:45,940 --> 00:02:53,820
[But] what you get in return? In return, you obtain eternal bliss

14
00:02:54,450 --> 00:03:02,050
and everlasting life among the topmost of divine bounties.

15
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:12,050
Well, this commodity that you offer [God] in martyrdom, is not a lasting commodity.

16
00:03:13,370 --> 00:03:28,280
This commodity is like that [piece of] ice, which an ice dealer was selling on a summer day.

17
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:37,080
He said, “People! Buy this commodity from me, because if you do not buy it, my capital will be lost.”

18
00:03:37,420 --> 00:03:48,110
It is like this after all. At the present time, there is ice inside [all] homes, [but] in old times, they bought ice from the market,

19
00:03:49,310 --> 00:04:02,110
[and] the ice dealer kept this ice wrapped in gunnysacks and the likes of these, so that, it would last for people to buy.q

20
00:04:02,110 --> 00:04:14,280
What would happen if they did not buy [the ice]? What would happen if there were no customers and nobody bought ice? [In that case,] ice would have thawed and eliminated.

21
00:04:15,370 --> 00:04:26,970
This customer who buys from you this perishable commodity is a very valuable customer.

22
00:04:29,770 --> 00:04:38,340
This life that I and you have is that very ice, [and] this [commodity] is [diminishing] bit by bit; isn’t it like this?

23
00:04:39,420 --> 00:04:49,540
It is being finished bit by bit. With every passing day, we are getting closer to that expiry [date];

24
00:04:49,540 --> 00:04:58,570
I mean, we are getting closer to the grave; [and] this [commodity of ours] is [diminishing] day by day. Now, how long would it take?

25
00:04:58,910 --> 00:05:07,480
Some of these [lives] expire at the age of 40, some at the age of 50, [and] some at the age of 80 years. [However,] it will finish at last;

26
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:18,510
it is only a matter of it me; it is being finished. Now, [for] this commodity, which would be finally exhausted whether you sell it or not,

27
00:05:18,510 --> 00:05:26,680
a customer has come forth and says, “I buy this from you,

28
00:05:28,050 --> 00:05:36,220
and I buy it at the highest price.” What is that highest price? Paradise.

29
00:05:37,140 --> 00:05:44,800
This very verse [of the Quran], which this good-voiced dear reciter of ours recited today,

30
00:05:45,140 --> 00:05:53,710
اِنَّ اللهَ اشتَريٰ‌ ‌مِنَ المُؤمِنينَ اَنفُسَهُم وَ اَموالَهُم بِاَنَّ لَهُمُ الجَنَّة  [saying,] “Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties [in exchange] for that they will have Paradise.”

31
00:05:55,080 --> 00:06:00,850
[He] buys from you this commodity in order to give you the Paradise.

32
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:06,680
يُقاتِلُونَ في‌ سَبيلِ اللهِ فَيَقتُلونَ وَ يُقتَلون  [The same verse then says about martyrs,] “They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed.”

33
00:06:07,370 --> 00:06:14,110
It means, when you fight in the cause of God, it is not like that you just go and offer your life

34
00:06:14,570 --> 00:06:20,280
to the enemy in gift wrap and say ‘kill me’. No sir! You also hit him. q

35
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:33,370
These border guard of us, who is martyred in border regions, has dealt a lot of blows to the enemy,

36
00:06:33,650 --> 00:06:41,540
blocked infiltration [into the country] by the enemy, prevented the enemy’s plot, [and] blocked the enemy’s corrupt acts before he was martyred.

37
00:06:42,740 --> 00:06:52,110
This young person of ours, who has stood against Daesh and been martyred in defense of the shrine in that given foreign country,

38
00:06:52,450 --> 00:07:03,420
before being martyred, has dealt a hundred blows to the enemy, has blocked its progress, has defused its [efforts to achieve its] goals,

39
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,540
has beaten the hell out of him, [and] then has been martyred.

40
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,510
فَيَقتُلونَ وَ يُقتَلُون   [As the Quran says,] “So they kill and are killed;”

41
00:07:10,850 --> 00:07:14,800
that is, they first kill [the enemy], [and] then they themselves are killed.

42
00:07:16,340 --> 00:07:29,080
[The Quran adds,] “[It is] a true promise [binding] upon Him;” this is a divine promise, [and] it is God who is giving this promise to you.

43
00:07:29,770 --> 00:07:40,570
When this [customer] says, “We buy this commodity from you in return for Paradise;” Paradise is tantamount to eternal bliss,

44
00:07:40,740 --> 00:07:47,250
a [land of] bliss where [your commodity] is no more like this ice, which is thawed minute by minute;

45
00:07:47,650 --> 00:07:55,310
now, it is eternal life, it is forever, is eternal pleasure, [and] is eternal blessing.

46
00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:04,510
They are buying and taking this perishable life of yours in return for this;

47
00:08:05,020 --> 00:08:15,370
this is God’s promise. This is a true promise that the Almighty God has given you,

48
00:08:16,110 --> 00:08:23,080
[and] it is not special to your religions; [because] God has given this promise [to the faithful] in previous Holy Scriptures as well.

49
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:30,570
وَعداً عَلَيهِ حَقًّا فِي التَّوراةِ وَ الاِنجيلِ وَ القُرءان  [The same verse of the Quran says,] “[It is] a true promise [binding] upon Him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur'an.”

50
00:08:32,050 --> 00:08:35,710
Martyrdom is like this. Then it says,

51
00:08:35,710 --> 00:08:38,400
وَ مَن اَوفيٰ‌ بِعَهدِهِ مِنَ الله  “And who is truer to his covenant than Allah?”

52
00:08:38,620 --> 00:08:44,850
Who is more committed to his covenant that God?

53
00:08:45,820 --> 00:08:56,680
This promise will be fulfilled. Therefore, martyrdom is such a concept. When you look at its appearance,

54
00:08:57,370 --> 00:09:05,820
it has a painful and a bitter appearance; one’s father, one’s mother, one’s spouse, one’s child,

55
00:09:05,820 --> 00:09:14,510
[and] one’s brother and sister become mournful, [and] become sad; this is its appearance; but what is its inner truth?

56
00:09:15,370 --> 00:09:23,600
Its inner truth is to sell a perishable and destructible and

57
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:32,620
non-lasting commodity at an extraordinarily high price.

58
00:09:32,620 --> 00:09:43,420
Since old times, when I talked to my friends in ordinary talks and [in my] speeches and the likes of these, I told them that martyrdom is a mercantile death;

59
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:50,220
I mean, it is marked with cleverness; those who become martyrs,

60
00:09:50,740 --> 00:09:59,710
the Almighty God does the most [sublime] favor to them, [and] does the highest [degree of] favor to them; this is [how] martyrdom [is].

61
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:11,880
You are families of martyrs, [and] of course, you suffer [because of your loss].

62
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:25,650
Your child, your brother, your father, [and] your spouse is lost, [and] you love [them], have compassion for them,

63
00:10:26,220 --> 00:10:34,800
[and] it goes without saying that you are overcome with grief; there is no doubt about this. However, when you look at [martyrdom] from this viewpoint,

64
00:10:35,370 --> 00:10:44,970
you would see that you are winners as well. Why? Because he has ascended [to Heaven]

65
00:10:45,650 --> 00:10:52,280
and attained lofty grades, [and] he is able to intercede;

66
00:10:53,540 --> 00:11:08,050
he can play a role in the Purgatory and on the Resurrection Day.

67
00:11:10,340 --> 00:11:18,740
Even now, out of those people who live in this world, some, who are more intimate with martyrs,

68
00:11:19,650 --> 00:11:25,080
resort to martyrs when they face problems in their lives and martyrs answer them.

69
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:32,340
In these biographies that I read about families of martyrs, there are many examples of this

70
00:11:33,370 --> 00:11:42,740
that when the spouse of a martyr, father of a martyr, [and] mother of a martyr face a problem, they resort to their martyr;

71
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:49,420
they say, “You who are not bound by [worldly] limitations, you, who can [do something], help us,” and he helps [them].

72
00:11:51,710 --> 00:11:59,820
It is like that in the Purgatory as well. You will go [there] after all; you are not everlasting; I and you are all goners;

73
00:12:00,340 --> 00:12:09,540
we have also ahead of us this very Purgatory, this very corridor, [and] this very land [of the dead], [and] we will get there.

74
00:12:10,340 --> 00:12:20,570
Once there, problems [facing you] will be numerous; if someone could have a person to intercede [for him]

75
00:12:22,340 --> 00:12:31,080
there in a way that this person that intercedes would be beneficial to him, it would be very precious. This martyr is the one who intercedes for you.

76
00:12:33,310 --> 00:12:40,400
Of course, I have a lot to say about families of martyrs; I have talked a lot [about them] already; [but] I still have many things to say about families of martyrs.

77
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:52,170
The issue of families of martyrs is not simply that a martyr of them

78
00:12:53,020 --> 00:13:01,770
has been martyred in the cause of God; their patience per se is extremely valuable.

79
00:13:02,170 --> 00:13:12,400
[The fact] that father of the martyr, mother of the martyr, spouse of the martyr, [and] child of the martyr remain patient in the face of this loss,

80
00:13:13,540 --> 00:13:18,910
this per se is a very sublime value; very sublime.

81
00:13:19,710 --> 00:13:25,770
اُولٰئِکَ‌ عَلَيهِم‌ صَلَوٰتٌ‌ مِن رَبِّهِم وَ رَحمَة   [As the Quran says,] “Those are the ones upon whom are blessings from their Lord and mercy.”

82
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:38,910
Do you believe that God would send you His blessings? [It is hard to believe that] God would send His blessings on you!

83
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:49,020
You, who are the family of a martyr, when you show patience on this loss

84
00:13:49,650 --> 00:13:57,770
and thank God and tolerate it and bill God for this,

85
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:10,680
this patience of yours causes the Almighty God – who owns the Earth and Heavens, [and] owns the entire universe – to send his blessings to you.

86
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:23,820
These are of value; we must correctly understand these concepts. These concepts, will create amazing forces within us,

87
00:14:24,450 --> 00:14:29,600
[and] get us ready to do many big jobs.

88
00:14:29,940 --> 00:14:39,820
Enemies want to take these concepts away from us. Some of these mercenary writers,

89
00:14:40,570 --> 00:14:47,770
who want to curry favor with foreigners instead of trying to appease those who have been chosen by God

90
00:14:48,050 --> 00:14:55,480
– write certain things, [and] write statements in some of the print media, newspapers or cyberspace [which leaves one flummoxed].

91
00:14:57,370 --> 00:15:08,400
They do not understand what they are doing. The concept of martyrdom, concept of struggling on the path of God, [and] concept of remaining patient on these [losses]

92
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:24,570
are enormous concepts; these [concepts] make an effect on the everyday life of the Islamic society. Brother, sister! These [very concepts] have preserved the revolution.

93
00:15:25,540 --> 00:15:36,000
This revolution and the [Islamic] establishment, which came into being [as its result,] were faced with difficult hostilities since the outset.

94
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:41,080
Now, do not look at the empty threats of this guy who has recently [come to office] in America;

95
00:15:41,540 --> 00:15:47,650
these [empty threats] are not new, [because] these [threats] were there from the beginning [and] at the present time, [only] their wording and tone have changed.

96
00:15:48,220 --> 00:15:56,170
Since day one up to the present time, these empty threats have been there against the Islamic Republic; it is about forty years.

97
00:15:56,450 --> 00:16:06,050
[But] they have not been able to do a damn thing. They could not

98
00:16:06,220 --> 00:16:17,310
uproot this sapling at a time when it was just a thin piece of wood on the ground; it has now turned into a robust tree; [would they] be able to uproot it? They talk nonsensical.

99
00:16:40,620 --> 00:16:48,620
They say, “We want to change the Islamic Republic establishment;” well, when you have not wanted to do this?

100
00:16:49,540 --> 00:16:56,570
You have always wanted [to do this], [but] you always faced a stone wall, [and] your nose was always rubbed in dirt;

101
00:16:57,020 --> 00:17:07,540
[and] it will continue to be like that from now on. They have not known the Iranian nation; it is these concepts, which have kept the Iranian nation alive.

102
00:17:07,820 --> 00:17:13,020
These people who have recently come to office in America, like these

103
00:17:14,340 --> 00:17:21,310
guys who have just entered the world of knife-wielding thugs – these novice and inexperienced knife-wielding thugs,

104
00:17:21,710 --> 00:17:27,880
who make a knife cut wherever they go – do not know what they are doing

105
00:17:28,340 --> 00:17:35,420
until they are punched in the mouth; when they are punched in the mouth, they understand how the reckoning is.

106
00:17:36,620 --> 00:17:45,250
They have not known the Islamic Republic, they have not known the Iranian nation, [and] they have not known the officials of the Islamic Republic. ض

107
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:56,620
The Iranian nation is the same nation that from day one up to the present time, has been faced with this sort of plots and with this sort of statements;

108
00:17:57,140 --> 00:18:03,600
they have [always] wanted to slap the Iranian nation, [but] the Iranian nation has slapped them;

109
00:18:06,110 --> 00:18:17,370
they have [always] wanted to topple the Islamic Republic establishment, [but] one by one, have taken this wish to the grave.

110
00:18:17,940 --> 00:18:29,480
You just look that since the early revolution, how many of these people who wished for the elimination of the Islamic Republic

111
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:43,940
and have left this world with [a lot of] unfulfilled wishes and failure to end up in the abyss of Hell. The Islamic Republic [has stood in place] with full force,

112
00:18:44,620 --> 00:18:54,110
[and] it will continue to be like this from now on. Everybody [must] know this – both the enemy know this, and devout friends know this,

113
00:18:54,570 --> 00:19:00,450
[and] also those friends who sometimes become shaky in their conviction know this – that the Islamic Republic

114
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:08,740
is standing fast and know that they cannot slap us, but we will slap them [in the face].

115
00:19:48,910 --> 00:20:01,600
And this is not due to material equipment [at our disposal]. Material equipment does not play a basic and determining role,

116
00:20:02,570 --> 00:20:12,910
[because] there are other things [which are more important]; they are spiritual equipment; that [determining factor] is unwavering resolve and determination,

117
00:20:14,050 --> 00:20:23,940
is the ways through which the hearts of each and every member of the nation is strengthened,

118
00:20:25,540 --> 00:20:37,020
[and] is the power to raise young people who amid this strange tempest of corruption

119
00:20:37,310 --> 00:20:43,770
– which is sweeping the world by Zionists and the likes of them –

120
00:20:44,170 --> 00:20:48,740
have stood fast and strong on the right path in Iran.

121
00:20:49,480 --> 00:21:00,910
The Islamic Republic, the Islamic power, [and] the Islamic establishment can raise such young people and today, they have raised [them] and they exist [among us].

122
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:14,570
This is the [true] power of the Islamic Republic; no material power can counter this power.

123
00:21:16,850 --> 00:21:19,080
And the spirit [of this power] is the same as the spirit of martyrdom.

124
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:26,280
Of course, in addition to these statements, the value of our martyrs must be made clear.

125
00:21:27,250 --> 00:21:55,200
If it was not for the martyrs of Defenders of the Shrine, we would have to fight seditionist [and] evil elements,

126
00:21:55,460 --> 00:22:01,330
who are enemies of the Household [of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH)] and enemy of the Shia people, in Iranian cities. This was part of the enemy’s plans after all;

127
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:13,260
when [these terrorist elements] were in Iraq, they were in a region and tried to get themselves close to the border region with the Islamic Republic;

128
00:22:14,330 --> 00:22:26,460
and [wanted] to reach their eastern regions, which were neighboring Iran. They tried to enter these provinces [of Iraq], which are neighboring us;

129
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:33,860
[but] they were kept in check, were punched in the mouth, were rooted out, the hell was beaten out of them,

130
00:22:35,530 --> 00:22:42,660
[and] now they are being totally flushed and swept out [of Iraq as well]. It is the same in Syria.

131
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:56,060
If this job, which was done by our valuable commanders, had not been done,

132
00:22:56,060 --> 00:23:04,400
as said by this dear eulogizer of ours, we would have to fight these [terrorist elements] in our immediate vicinity;

133
00:23:05,530 --> 00:23:10,600
[and] we would have to fight them in these very streets of ours and these cities of ours.

134
00:23:11,260 --> 00:23:18,660
An important part of this security, which you enjoy today, is owed to these very Defenders of the Shrine.

135
00:23:21,660 --> 00:23:33,660
Another important part of security is owed to these border guards of ours; both the law enforcement, which is positioned along borders,

136
00:23:34,730 --> 00:23:41,930
and the IRGC Ground Forces that are positioned in border regions,

137
00:23:42,930 --> 00:23:52,330
and the rest of those forces, who are patrolling and deployed to and are active and making effort along borders.

138
00:23:52,600 --> 00:24:03,460
This [security] is one of their blessings. [However, endeavors of] those poor guys are not observed [by people]! You are sitting at your homes, what do you know about [what is going on along] borders?

139
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:14,130
You send your sons, [or] your daughters to school, they return home, [and] you are not worried [about them]; you yourselves go to work and get back [home], [and] are not worried;

140
00:24:14,660 --> 00:24:25,460
go and sit at a parks, [and] are not worried; take part in a demonstration [and] are not worried. [In all these cases,] you are not worried about insecurity, [because you] are living with security.

141
00:24:25,730 --> 00:24:38,260
What do you know about what is happening to that person, who is standing [guard] at [a] border [region] and has blocked the enemy’s way, so that, it would not enter the country?

142
00:24:39,530 --> 00:24:50,600
People do not know about this; he is underappreciated. Our border [guard] martyrs are underappreciated; both along southeastern borders,

143
00:24:51,660 --> 00:25:01,060
that is, in Baluchestan and Kerman regions and the likes of these, and in the country’s northwestern [that is] Kordestan and Kermanshah regions and other places, and in the rest of regions,

144
00:25:01,060 --> 00:25:09,460
where there are problems along the borders;

145
00:25:11,060 --> 00:25:19,400
in all these places, it is our border guards, who are defending [the country] with all they have.

146
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:26,130
If it were not for these border guards, [smugglers] would take narcotics

147
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:36,000
into the country tonne after tonne, every kilogram of which

148
00:25:36,660 --> 00:25:47,260
could have wreaked havoc among a hundred young people and spelled misery for them. Who is preventing these [smugglers]? Our border guards!

149
00:25:48,460 --> 00:26:01,800
It is them, who are making sacrifices, [and] are then martyred. These martyrs are very valuable. The Defenders of the Shrine martyrs [are valuable] in that way, [and] the border guard martyrs in this way.

150
00:26:02,060 --> 00:26:08,400
A person who is martyred while doing security and intelligence work inside the country is [also valuable] in his own way.

151
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:19,930
These [intelligence agents], who look through their penetrating gaze and find teams of saboteurs [and] teams of terrorists

152
00:26:20,260 --> 00:26:30,660
– whose appearance and face is not different from other people, [but] their hearts contain a hell, which cannot be seen –

153
00:26:32,130 --> 00:26:44,460
[and] these security agents of ours, with the experience that they have, with the intelligence that they have, with the help they get from people, [and] with the guidance from God,

154
00:26:44,930 --> 00:26:56,130
can find these [elements]. They find them and you just hear that they have nabbed 40 [terrorist] teams, [or] busted 20 terrorist teams

155
00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:05,730
while every one of these teams could have killed scores of people. Some of these [intelligence agents] are martyred once in a while; these [martyrs] are [also] very valuable.

156
00:27:05,730 --> 00:27:15,530
You, who are families of martyrs, are yourselves bereft and know how it feels.

157
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:24,000
I want to say this [and I know that] these statements are disseminated, [and] are said, so that, people would know how much

158
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:33,000
service these martyrs of us are providing the country with. [Providing] service is not limited to water and bread, [but] more significant than water and bread is security;

159
00:27:33,660 --> 00:27:39,400
these [martyrs] are providing the country’s security. It is like this along all borders of the country;

160
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:49,400
[and this is true about all martyrs] both those who defend the holy shrine outside the country [in Syria], and those who work at borders, and those who work for security of the cities

161
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:59,930
and roads inside [the country]; to all of them the country owes its survival.

162
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:15,400
[We must] know the value of martyrs, [and] know the value of families of martyrs. Dear brethren, [and] dear sisters! Anybody who tries

163
00:28:16,130 --> 00:28:22,130
to cause memory of martyrs to slip into oblivion will be betraying this country;

164
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:33,200
anybody who tries to have families of martyrs insulted or be disregarded

165
00:28:33,930 --> 00:28:45,000
or be made target of verbal barbs, will be betraying this country, [because] the [Islamic] establishment is not an issue here, but the whole country is the issue; [therefore, such a person] will be betraying the [entire] country.

166
00:28:46,330 --> 00:29:00,200
[Everybody] must show respect for martyrs and know their value; must show respect for families of martyrs and know their value;

167
00:29:01,860 --> 00:29:11,200
[and] consider themselves indebted to martyrs. Well, what “being indebted to martyrs” means?

168
00:29:11,730 --> 00:29:23,660
It means indebted to that spouse, who allows her husband to go to the battlefield and be martyred there; therefore, [everybody] is also indebted to that lady as well;

169
00:29:25,130 --> 00:29:33,460
[and everybody is also] indebted to that father or mother, who gives permission to his/her child to go [to war].

170
00:29:36,930 --> 00:29:46,200
[Everybody must] feel indebted to these [martyrs and their families] and everybody must know that it is these [martyrs and their families] who keep [Islamic] values alive in our country.

171
00:29:46,530 --> 00:30:00,260
O Almighty God! We swear you by [Prophet] Mohammad and the Household of Mohammad to make the memory of our martyrs livelier in our country.

172
00:30:01,930 --> 00:30:12,200
O Almighty God! Increase the dignity of martyrs and the dignity of families of martyrs in our country day by day.

173
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:34,000
O Almighty God! Do not turn off [and end] this light of martyrdom, this atmosphere of martyrdom, this demand for martyrdom, [and] this enthusiasm for martyrdom, which exists in the heart of some people.

174
00:30:35,730 --> 00:30:47,730
O Almighty God! Anybody, who has this enthusiasm in his heart in the real sense of the word, help him achieve this virtue;

175
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,330
increase what you have bestowed upon them;

176
00:30:53,530 --> 00:30:56,060
resurrect martyrs with the Prophet [of Islam];

177
00:30:57,260 --> 00:30:59,460
[and] resurrect martyrs with those who were martyred [along with Imam Hossein (PBUH)] in the desert of Karbala.

178
00:31:00,530 --> 00:31:10,460
Make the purified soul of our honorable Imam [Khomeini], who started the course of martyrdom [in the country], content and satisfied with us.

179
00:31:11,530 --> 00:31:15,660
Make the purified heart of [Hadhrat] Vali-e Asr content and satisfied with us

180
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:23,530
and get us closer to consent of those honorable ones on a daily basis.

181
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,930
Peace be unto you and so may the mercy of Allah and His blessings
