Imam Khomeini: “If you want your country to be an independent country, a country where others cannot interfere, you must start from yourself. All the fears that man has of the enemy is because he sees himself. If he sees that God is at work, he is working for God, he will not be afraid, because the destinies are in his hands.

Don’t think that you can do something by yourself, you are the one who can’t sleep at night if a fly comes to bother you, or you can’t rest during the day. if a mosquito comes at night it won’t let you rest. You are the one who is afraid if a spider comes and attacks you. You are the one who if a sparrow takes something from you, you have no power to take it back. Everything is helplessness, everything is poverty, everything that exists is from him, from God.

This independence that God has given us, if it wasn’t for his care, when would we be able to do this? How could we, in the face of this world’s chaos and these evil powers of the world, maintain a similar regime that everyone was trying to preserve? If it wasn’t for God’s favors and God’s success, how could you expel the hand of America that is devouring the world from your country?

From what I heard, the American president said that Iran humiliated us. This is the first thing, Iran will humiliate you until the end. If it wasn’t for God’s favors, how could you cut off a power that has such a situation today and has such institutions and is rooted in the whole world? This is God’s power, this is God’s blessings, don’t be ignorant of this. If it wasn’t for God’s favors, how could you be an example in the world that you are the only one in the world right now who say that you are neither Eastern nor Western and it is truth.

Someone may claim it, but everyone knows that it is not so. If it wasn’t for God’s grace, who could do such a thing that has no equal in the world and has never been done before? These are the blessings of God. Preserve this favor of God and its preservation is to serve this country that He has given you”
