An Awakened
Nation on the Move
It was the "Day of Kowthar" ("Kowthar" is a river, pond or fountain in Paradise). As midyear 1320
AHL/late 1983 passed by, a child was born in Iran who later on changed the
destiny of Iran and that of the world of Islam by his divine uprising. He
led a revolution against which the world's entire dominant powers and all
enemies of freedom and independence of nations, lined up since its
inception, and rushed to the arena to suppress it. But, thank God, so far
they have met with failure in their efforts to combat his grand
achievements, his thought and the school that he proclaimed.
That day
no one knew that he would be the one whom the future will know as "Imam
Khomeini"; one who, once began his uprising, will resist against the
greatest world powers and defend the independence of the country and the
dignity of the Islamic nation (ummat) and will become the reviver of God's
religion in an era when values have undergone a metamorphosis.
