1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:02,960 In the Name of God, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful 2 00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,600 الحمدلله ربّ العالمين 3 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:14,480 و الصّلاة و السّلام علي سيّدنا و نبيّنا ابي‌القاسم المصطفي‌ محمّد 4 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:31,640 و علي آله الاطيبين الاطهرين المنتجبين سيّما بقيّةالله في الارضين 5 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:41,480 I congratulate the [Prophet Mohammad (PBUH)’s] Ordainment Day to you, esteemed attendants, dear brethren and sisters, 6 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:54,760 [and] respectable state officials, and to the ambassadors of Islamic countries, who are present in this meeting, 7 00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:10,280 and to the entire Iranian nation, to the entire Islamic Ummah, and [to] the entire humanity, 8 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:20,120 and today, humanity is indeed more in need of understanding 9 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:26,720 the meaning of Ordainment and the truth of ordainment. 10 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:35,800 In the honorable verse [which says:] 11 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:44,760 “Certainly a Messenger has come to you from among yourselves; grievous to him is your falling into distress, most solicitous for you…,” 12 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:54,760 the Holy Quran has addressed the entire humanity in the last phrase [which says:] “… [he (the Prophet)] is compassionate, [and] merciful to the believers.” 13 00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:05,760 However, human suffering, problems that humans face in their lives and which [also] face human societies 14 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:12,640 weigh down on the blessed soul of the Prophet of Islam (PBUH), 15 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,840 [and he is] “most solicitous to you [human];” 16 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:23,320 [and] is eager to guide them and is eager [to see] their happiness. 17 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:28,120 [Therefore,] the Ordainment is meant for all people. 18 00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:37,080 Then, in continuation of the same verse, it is interesting how the Quran tries to console the Honorable Prophet (PBUH) [by saying:] 19 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:50,280 “But if they turn away [from you], say: Allah is sufficient for me — there is no God but He. On Him do I rely, and He is the Lord of the mighty Throne.” 20 00:02:52,480 --> 00:03:01,400 [This verse is] addressed to humanity, [telling the Prophet (PBUH)] to ‘take step to do good and correct [the mistakes of] the humanity 21 00:03:02,920 --> 00:03:08,920 and put your trust in the single God;’ [because] in His control is everything 22 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:14,280 and the divine traditions serve this movement. 23 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:26,520 Today, we need the concept of the Ordainment; [and] humanity needs it, especially the Islamic Ummah. 24 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:41,400 The Eid of Ordainment is [actually] the Eid of rising up [of the Prophet (PBUH)] in order to put an end to human sufferings; therefore, it is really an Eid (festive occasion). 25 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:57,240 Major human sufferings, which have continued throughout history and these sufferings still continue in various forms, 26 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:09,480 [include] worshipping [deities] other than God, establishment of oppression and injustice, divide among people’s [social] classes, 27 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:18,920 [as well as] sufferings of the lower classes and bullying of bullies; these are perennial sufferings for humans. 28 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:33,880 These things have been always imposed on humanity as a result of corrupt and corruption-inducing motivations of bullying people in power; 29 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:46,840 the Ordainment was meant to do away with these sufferings. In fact, the Ordainment Day is a day for referring to the divine essence [of all humans]; 30 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:56,520 because all these sufferings and pains and disorders 31 00:04:57,280 --> 00:05:03,560 have been ruled out by the divine essence, which has been embedded in the human nature. 32 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:14,920 For humans, [having] the divine essence is [tantamount to] taking sides with the truth, supporting justice 33 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:26,800 and supporting struggling on the path of the oppressed; this is the human essence. 34 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:43,960 With regard to the reason behind the ordainment of prophets, Amir al-Mo’menin [Imam Ali] (PBUH) has [said] a sentence in the noble Nahj-ul-Balagha 35 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,680 over which [we] must muse a lot. He says, 36 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,880 “[Prophets were sent by God] to ask people to fulfill their essential pledge [to God]; [in fact, he means that] 37 00:05:54,560 --> 00:06:07,640 prophets make people fulfill that pledge 38 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:17,360 [with God] which has been embedded in the human essence, [and] own up to that pledge; 39 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:23,360 the Almighty God has wanted humans to be free, 40 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:30,360 live with justice, live with good deeds, [and] do not worship anybody but God. 41 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:41,440 “[Prophets were sent by God] to ask people to fulfill their essential pledge to God, and [also] to remind them of [God’s] forgotten bounties [which has bestowed on man];” 42 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:54,400 [prophets are given the mission] to remind people of the forgotten bounties [that God has bestowed upon them]; [and to remember] these divine blessings. We ignore the bounty of existence, the bounty of health, the bounty of wisdom, 43 00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:04,680 [and] the bounty of good tempers that the Almighty God has trusted in human nature; 44 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:14,200 humans forget [such bounties]; [and] prophets [come to] remind humans of these [bounties]. 45 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:25,040 “…and remind them of the forgotten bounties and argue with them by offering [solid] reasons;” 46 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:31,440 [prophets are sent to] spell out the conclusive argue with people, convey to them the word of truth, 47 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:43,440 [and] reveal to them [what is] the truth; [therefore,] expounding and expressing [God’s words] are among the most important duties of prophets. 48 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:55,840 The enemies of prophets take advantage of [people’s] ignorance and secrecies, 49 00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:03,920 [and] they take advantage of the cover of hypocrisy; prophets tear down the cover of ignorance and hypocrisy. 50 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:12,040 [Imam Ali (PBUH) also says:] “… and [prophets] unearth what has been buried of wisdom;” 51 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:22,280 [they have come] to open the treasure of wisdom to [the entire] humanity; prophets have come to make humans use their wisdom, 52 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:32,600 to make them reflect, [and] to make them think; 53 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:41,760 [just] see what great goals [are these]; these are [the goals of] the Ordainment. How humanity is in need [of achieving these goals] today! 54 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:52,080 Then, after opening treasures of wisdom to humans, 55 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:57,400 [prophets should] “show them signs of [His] power,” 56 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:02,000 [prophets are sent to] guide the human wisdom toward monotheism, 57 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:12,320 toward the divine signs, [and] to put before their eyes the signs of the power of the Almighty. 58 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:30,000 An unguided wisdom without guidance of prophets cannot understand the Truth as it is; 59 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:43,600 [but] prophets help the human wisdom, walk him through [difficult passes] and with the power that God has given them [humans], 60 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:51,880 they tread this difficult path of life; [prophets] reveal the realities of universe to humans. 61 00:09:52,720 --> 00:10:06,080 The power of wisdom and using wisdom are important [capacities] for humans, but through the divine guidance, [and] with the assistance of God. Well, these are [main goals of] the Ordainment. 62 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:13,280 The opposite front to the Ordainment is the ignorance front. 63 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:24,880 Ignorance should not be considered as an issue related to a specific and certain historical juncture, 64 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,760 based on which we [could] say that in that time, the Prophet was facing the ignorance and that time is [now] past. Ignorance is not special to that time; 65 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:45,440 [because] ignorance continues [to exist], just as the [message of] Ordainment continues. 66 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:54,200 [As famous Iranian poet, Mowlavi, says:] “Fresh water and salty water flow in currents; and [these] currents will continue for people until the Day of Judgment.” 67 00:10:54,480 --> 00:11:00,320 These two fronts exist among human beings; 68 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:12,680 this ignorance, which is opposed to the ordainment of prophets, does not mean absence of knowledge; 69 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:17,560 this ignorance, is not ignorance as opposed to knowledge; 70 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:26,120 sometimes knowledge is at the service of ignorance, just as is the case in our time. 71 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:35,600 Today in the world, human knowledge has progressed, but is at the service of the same ignorance, 72 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:41,840 for the elimination of which the ordainment of prophets has taken place. 73 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:53,680 This ignorance is the opposite of the wisdom [which is] guided by prophets and the Almighty. 74 00:11:55,320 --> 00:12:03,040 When wisdom governs human life, and that a wisdom which 75 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:13,120 enjoys support and guidance of prophets, the life will become happy; [this goal] must be pursued. 76 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:24,480 The day that this is not the case, [and] human wisdom does not govern [human life], lust and anger will rule; 77 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:37,280 [and] carnal desires will rule. It is then that humans will burn in a melted furnace of misfortunes; 78 00:12:37,560 --> 00:12:43,840 just as we have seen throughout history and we are observing today as well. 79 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:52,800 When lust and anger govern humans’ behavior, 80 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:59,760 then you would see that in two world wars 81 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:11,760 millions of people are massacred, human life loses its value, [and] human sanctity is undermined. 82 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:25,000 This rule of lust and anger, or on the opposite, the rule of wisdom guided by prophets, 83 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:34,360 exists at all levels; it is [extant] both at individual levels, and at social levels, and at international levels. 84 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:46,080 If at international level, what governs the behavior of internationally powerful [countries] 85 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:53,040 is God-given wisdom and [if it] is guided [by prophets], the world will look one way; 86 00:13:53,840 --> 00:14:00,800 [and] when carnal desires govern them, [and] there is thirst for power, 87 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:05,160 [and efforts aimed at] stirring sedition, the issue will take a different turn. 88 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,320 These are maladies facing humanity. 89 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:19,320 The Ordainment is the opposite of this ignorant current, which can exist at all times 90 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,840 and all human begins are obligated [to take steps] in its face. 91 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:32,480 Colonialism and humiliation of nations and plundering financial resources of nations 92 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:41,560 and corrupting human resources of nations, are [all] the result of the rule of ignorance. 93 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:56,840 When ignorance rules, you see that many nations across the world are crushed under the boots of colonialism, 94 00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:05,400 their resources are plundered, they themselves are humiliated, [and] lag behind [other nations] by many years. 95 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:15,560 Colonized nations, some of them lagged behind [other nations] tens of years, [and] some [others] for [even] centuries. 96 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:26,040 [Jawaharlal] Nehru [the first Indian prime minister after independence from Britain] says in his memoirs that before the British dominated India, 97 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:37,360 India had an advanced civilization compared to [standards of] that time; it even had advanced industry, [and] had advanced products; 98 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:50,840 [however, after] the British entered India, they took over the rule of that big and vast country and pushed it back, 99 00:15:51,080 --> 00:16:00,600 in order for themselves to grow. The small and remote government of Britain 100 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:08,040 achieved power through plundering the resources of a big country like India; [and] reduced that country to ashes. 101 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:13,480 This is colonialism, [and] this is the rule of lust and anger. 102 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:22,920 Following the first and second world wars, as they say and has been written, 103 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:30,280 tens of local wars have been waged; [and] all of them by powerful [countries]. 104 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:38,760 Today, you look what is going on in this very West Asia region, [and] what is going on in North Africa! 105 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:49,920 Who has waged these wars? Who gave weapons to evil and corrupt human beings, 106 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:56,360 gave them facilities [and] encouraged them to cause sedition in [certain] countries, 107 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:02,680 [and] destroy and annihilate infrastructure of [those] countries? This is [the true meaning of] Satan. 108 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:14,160 [As the Quran says:] “And thus did We make for every prophet an enemy, the devils from among men and jinn, some of them inspiring others with gilded speech to deceive (them).” 109 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:22,560 It is like this; when devils join hands, they create [a new] system; 110 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:32,800 [and] when they dominate currents that rule the world, the situation of humanity becomes this situation that you observe today. 111 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:43,400 The enmity of truly faithful [people], [and] the enmity of the Islamic Republic toward Zionism emanates from these realities; 112 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,960 [otherwise,] we have no blood feud against anybody. 113 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:58,880 When the Zionist regime and the vast network of Zionist capitalists 114 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:06,240 dominate governments, [and when] they dominate a government like 115 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:13,360 the government of the United States of America – [as a result of] which progress of every person, 116 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:20,160 [as well as] coming to power of any party and any person becomes dependent on their support – 117 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,880 the world becomes what you see today. 118 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:38,880 These are the roots of the huge movement of the nation of Islam and the Iranian nation and the Islamic Awakening in the world. 119 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:49,480 Then, they seek remedy [to this problem] through defaming Islam, defaming Iran [and] defaming Shia [Islam]. 120 00:18:50,120 --> 00:19:01,280 Today, fighting Islam, fighting Iran [and] fighting Shia Islam is part of definitive policies of the American government and its allied governments; 121 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:06,760 [and] they are moving like this. 122 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,640 This is their definitive policy. 123 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:20,960 When nations are negligent, they go ahead [with their policies], [but] when nations are vigilant, impediment is created in front of them; 124 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:28,120 then they become angry and cry out ‘why you are present in West Asia region, 125 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,720 why you don’t let us do our job’. 126 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:41,000 [It was] yesterday [or] the day before yesterday when American spokespersons announced that 127 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:48,480 Iran’s opposition to America’s policies in the West Asia region – which they call the Middle East – 128 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:56,720 prompts us to, for example, impose sanctions on Iran, or confront Iran. What does this mean? 129 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:03,000 It means that ‘Iranian nation! You who are vigilant, who are insightful, 130 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:09,720 [and] you who understand what is going on in the region, stand back and let us do our job, 131 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:14,640 [and] do whatever we want to’; [and] this means continuation of [their] mischief. 132 00:20:18,120 --> 00:20:23,600 This situation is [tantamount to] ignorance and this ignorance exists today. 133 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:37,200 When it is [rule of] ignorance, when it is dominance of evil powers, then there would be rebellion [against the word of God]; this is the devil. 134 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:45,320 As put by the Quran: “Those who believe fight in the way of Allah, and those who disbelieve fight in the way of the devil.” 135 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:57,680 This is the norm. Any step that anybody takes for the strengthening of the devil, will [cause that person to] be in the devil’s front. 136 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:26,240 This is what the devil does: to do mischief and do corrupt things. 137 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:34,800 [As the Quran says:] “And when they hold authority, they make effort in the land to cause mischief in it and destroy tilth and offspring; and Allah does not like mischief.” 138 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:42,200 God wants good for humans, but the devil wants corruption of humanity. 139 00:21:42,360 --> 00:21:50,760 With a single bomb, they kill and annihilate hundreds of thousands of people in a couple of cities, 140 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:57,240 [and even] after long years, they are not ready to apologize [for this massacre]. 141 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:03,000 They are told [by the opposite side] that ‘you [must] apologize for the incident in Hiroshima’, [but the devil] says, ‘no, we will not apologize’; 142 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:11,320 they are not even willing to apologize. The infrastructure of a country like Afghanistan and like Iraq and like 143 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:18,160 other countries in this region is destroyed either by them or by their agents, 144 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,640 but they take it on the chin and continue to go their way; 145 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:30,680 this is the same [concept that the Quran says:] “when they hold authority, they make effort in the land to cause mischief in it and destroy tilth and offspring.” 146 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:36,200 This current and this front is the ignorance front. 147 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:49,160 The modern ignorance, in spirit and concept, is the same ignorance that existed in the Prophet’s era; of course, with new tools, with a new shape, 148 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:57,520 [and] with new plans. This [situation] makes [accepting] a duty absolute and inevitable for all Muslims 149 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:07,680 and the entire Islamic Ummah; [and that] duty is the duty to counter [the devil]. 150 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:15,640 The Islamic Republic, since its inception, has never started a war 151 00:23:16,120 --> 00:23:20,640 and has not made any military move against any country, 152 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:27,000 but has announced its viewpoint and its slogan out loud. 153 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:39,040 Our honorable Imam [Khomeini] drew an analogy between the American Islam and the petrified Islam; 154 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:47,680 [saying that] both of these [varieties of Islam] stand opposed to the pure Islam. They are afraid of the pure Islam. 155 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:55,720 These corrupt [and] mischievous groups, are doing mischief in Islamic countries, 156 00:23:56,040 --> 00:24:01,040 defame Islam, (and) in the name of Islam, 157 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:07,400 cut people’s livers out of their bodies and tear them to pieces with their teeth 158 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:13,520 in front of people and in front of cameras 159 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:24,720 burn people alive in front of camera and in front of billions of human beings in the name of Islam, 160 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:36,400 [and] then these [groups] are being supported, and patronized and endorsed and backed by mysterious Western powers. 161 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:46,200 Apparently, they form an anti-Daesh coalition, but news and correct information show that this coalition is not a real coalition 162 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:51,040 and this [so-called] fight [against Daesh] is not a real fight, [but] this is only a superficial step. 163 00:24:51,440 --> 00:25:00,080 Then, when they want to talk against this corrupt and mischievous groups in propaganda, 164 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,880 they call them [with such titles as] the Islamic State; 165 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:13,000 that is, those persons who treat other people in that way, kill children in that way, 166 00:25:13,360 --> 00:25:22,200 deceive children in that way and bring them into the [battle] field for suicide attacks, are the Islamic State! 167 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:30,400 This is [the true meaning of] fighting Islam. 168 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:42,200 Today, the duty of us, Muslims, is to become aware and make the world aware of the truth of the Ordainment. 169 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:50,080 The Ordainment means rising up to save human beings and to save humanity; 170 00:25:51,000 --> 00:26:03,200 the Ordainment means establishment of the system of reform and honesty in human society; this is the meaning of the Ordainment. 171 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:14,480 The Ordainment means well wishing for all human beings; we wish well for all human beings 172 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:25,640 and even pray for those corrupt [and] mischievous heads of devilish regimes 173 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:38,440 that the Almighty God may guide them; either to guide them and help them turn back from the wrong path, or shorten their life 174 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:46,560 [so] that they would not do more mischief than this, [and] do not bring more divine wrath [on themselves]; this is also a really well-wishing prayer. 175 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:53,960 Islam wants good for the entire humanity, [and] the Prophet wants [good for the entire humanity]. 176 00:26:55,120 --> 00:27:05,440 And this movement by the Islamic Ummah, this movement, which has started in the world through formation of the Islamic Republic establishment, 177 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:10,280 and despite all efforts they made, they have not been able to destroy it 178 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:15,920 and it has grown stronger on a daily basis, [and] has become more profound day by day, 179 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,480 will certainly triumph; 180 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:28,800 [and] animosity of enemies cannot put an end to this huge movement. 181 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:36,200 Here, we must act upon the recommendation and command of the noble verse of the Quran, which I recited, 182 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:41,720 “Say: Allah is sufficient for me;” 183 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:48,080 [The Quran tells Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) that] “if you see people turning away [from you], 184 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:56,400 [and] if you see you are being surrounded by various means on all sides, 185 00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:07,920 ‘Say: Allah is sufficient for me; there is no God but He; on Him do I rely, and He is the Lord of the mighty Throne.” 186 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:14,200 This was our honorable Imam’s trust [in God] which showed us the way 187 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:21,360 and took us here and the Iranian nation, God willing, will continue to move with this very trust [in God] 188 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:33,120 and the Islamic Ummah will continue to materialize these realities more [and more] through the Islamic Awakening on a daily basis. 189 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:43,280 And the triumph of Islam and triumph of Muslims is finally definitive, but we have a duty; 190 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,320 both people have a duty and groups have a duty, 191 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:54,640 and political elites of countries have a duty; the heads of Islamic states also have a duty; 192 00:28:54,920 --> 00:29:01,280 every one of them, who would fulfill their duty, would be rewarded by the Almighty God, [and] if they don’t fulfill it, 193 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:05,000 [as put by the Quran:] “then Allah will bring a people, whom He loves and who love Him;” 194 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:09,760 [therefore,] God’s order will be carried out, [and] this path will continue [to be trodden by righteous people]. 195 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:15,400 I hope, God willing, we would be among those people who would never shun this duty. 196 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,200 Peace be unto you and so may the mercy of Allah and His blessings
