TEHRAN (Iran News) –  Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has called on Iranian students to uncover the truth and eliminate ambiguities fomented by the enemy’s propaganda campaign against the Iranian nation.

“You, dear students, who are the fruits of the nation’s heart and the true hope of the country, light up your surroundings like a beacon and dispel ambiguities by paying attention to the issue of illustrating truths,” Ayatollah Khamenei said Monday.

Ayatollah Khamenei, expressing satisfaction with the fact that the youth are equipped with a lot of thought, rationality, and awareness, stressed the need to strengthen these characteristics and pointed out: “The path of Imam Hussein is a blessed path that will lead to a definite result and success, and you, the youth, will be able to lead the country to the peaks of material and spiritual happiness, inspired by this path and enlightening knowledge.”

The Leader addressed a group of University of Tehran students via a video conference during a mourning ceremony held on the occasion of Arbaeen, the 40th day after the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Hussein (AS), the third Shia Imam.

Ayatollah Khamenei said while the day of Ashura, on which Imam Hussein was martyred, was the peak of Imam Hussein’s struggle and self-sacrifice, the ensuing 40-day period was the peak of the struggle to illustrate and uncover the truth, made possible by the Imam’s daughter, son and others who kept the events of Karbala alive.

The Leader touched on the opportunities which the cyberspace and social media networks offer for enlightenment and explaining ambiguities.

“However, the definite principle in the jihad of explaining and telling the truth is to use moral methods and express issues with logic, equanimity and complete rationality,  taking human sentiments into account, and avoid insult, slander, lies and deception in the face of the public opinion,” he said.

“The path of Hazrat Seyyed al-Shuhada (Imam Hussein) is a blessed and sweet path that will lead to a definite outcome and success, and you, the youth, will be able to take the country to the zenith of physical and spiritual well-being, inspired by this path and enlightening knowledge, God willing,” the Leader added.
