O Mustazafin (deprived, oppressed) of the world!

I wasn’t really going to post tonight, but as I sit on my sofa reading a book I just happen to come across words so pertinent! That despite my drowsiness it is my moral obligation to share with you…

‘Let me say at this point that this politico-religious testament of mine is not made with the noble people of Iran only. Rather, it is recommended for all Islamic nations and the oppressed peoples of the world regardless of religion or nationality…’

‘O Mustazafin (deprived, oppressed) of the world! O Muslims and muslim countries of the world! Arise and wrest your right by your teeth and fingernails! Never mind the rigmarole and propaganda cries of the superpowers and their puppets! Drive out from your lands your wicked rulers who hand over your wages to your enemies and the enemies of Islam. Yourselves and the dedicated Public servants should take charge of the affairs of your country. Gather together, all of you under the proud banner of Islam and fight the enemies of Islam and of the deprived peoples of the world. Advance toward an Islamic sovereign government with so many free and independent republics. If you realize this, the arrogant powers shall retreat to their rightful positions and all the Mustazafin will come to inherit the earth and attain to guardianship over it. Look forward to the day when God’s Promise shall be fulfilled!’

(Wassalam-o-Alaikum wa Ala Idabillah-e-salehin.)
