O, you deprived people of the world! O, you Muslims and Muslim countries of the world! Rise up and fight for your rights! Do not be afraid of the propaganda operations of the superpowers and their mercenaries. Drive out from your lands your wicked rulers who hand over your earnings to your enemies and the enemies of Islam. You, yourselves and the dedicated public servants should take charge of the affairs of your country. Gather, 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 would retreat to their own places. All deprived people would come to inherit the earth and attain guardianship over it. Looking forward to the day when Allah’s promise shall be fulfilled!
–Imam Khomeini’s Last Will and Testament

” You ˹alone˺ we worship and You ˹alone˺ we ask for help.” (Quran, 1:5)

Amir Al-Momineen said in a sermon of his: ‘I seek Refuge with Allah from the sins which hasten the destruction’. So Abdullah Bin Al-Kawwa Al-Yashkuriy stood up to him, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen! And can the sins happen to hasten the destruction?’ So he said: ‘Yes, woe be unto you, (it is the) severing of the relationships. If the people of the household are gathering and co-operating with each other, while they are immoral, Allaha would Grace them, and if the people of the household are separating and cutting off from each other, Allah would Deprive them while they are pious.

“Today, we can see the panorama of the spread of the Islamic Revolution in the world of the oppressed and the innocent more than before. The movement that has started by the oppressed and the innocent of the world against the oppressors and bullies and is spreading, gives hope of a bright future and brings ever closer the pledge made by the Almighty God. It is as if the world is preparing for the arising of the sun of religious guardianship from the horizon of the great Mecca and the Kabah of the aspirations of the deprived and the rule of the oppressed.”
–Imam Khomeini’s Last Will and Testament

“Our officials should be aware that our revolution is not confined to Iran. The revolution of the people of Iran is the starting point of the grand revolution of the Muslim world under the stewardship of promised Mahdi (may our souls be his ransom). May God would grant to all Muslims and people of the world and let his reappearance take place at the present age. If economic and mundane issues would make the officials deviate from their mandated duty, serious danger and dreadful treachery would ensue. The government of the Islamic Republic should try its best to administer the people in the best possible manner. This does not mean deviating from the sublime objectives of the revolution; that is, establishment of the global Islamic government.”
–Imam Khomeini’s Last Will and Testament

“I am highly convinced that today the Iranian nation enjoy greater integrity than the people of Hijaz at the time of the prophet (s) and the people of Iraq and Kufah at the time of Imam Ali (s) and Imam Husayn (s). When the holy prophet Muhammad (s) was still alive, people of Hijaz disobeyed him and feigned excuses for not going to war fronts. For this, Almighty God has rebuked them severely in Surah Al-Baraah of the Glorious Quran. So much, they accused the prophet (s) of lying and the holy prophet cursed them for such as accusation on the pulpit.”
–Imam Khomeini’s Last Will and Testament

Humanity is constantly taking this path in order to reach a freeway. This freeway is the era of Mahdaviat. It is the era of the re-appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (God’s greetings be upon him). It is not the case that when we reach there, a sudden movement is launched and then it comes to an end. This is not the case. That point is a path. In fact, it should be said that humanity’s main and ideal life begins from that point and humanity just begins to take a path which is the straight path and which helps it reach the destination. It helps humanity in general, not a specific group of people. It helps all groups, not just certain individuals.
–Imam Khomeini’s Last Will and Testament
