“They wish to extinguish Allah’s light with their mouths, but Allah will certainly perfect His light, even to the dismay of the disbelievers.”
— Holy Quran, Surah As-Saff (61:8)
Preserving the Light of Islam
Throughout Islamic history, Allah has preserved His religion through the sacrifices of His righteous servants. From the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to the Imams of the Ahlulbayt (A.S.), the path of truth has continued despite opposition, persecution, and countless attempts to extinguish its light.
Today, during the Ghaybah (Occultation) of Imam Mahdi (A.T.F.S.), believers continue to look toward the values of faith, justice, sacrifice, and unity. These values have guided the Ummah throughout the centuries.
Religious Leadership During Ghaybah
The religious leadership during the absence of Imam Mahdi (A.T.F.S.) serves as a means of preserving Islamic values. It also helps defend the oppressed and maintain unity within the Ummah.
Many believers view this responsibility as a continuation of the mission to safeguard Islam until the blessed reappearance of the Imam.
The Path of Wilayah
The path of Wilayah is a religious and political concept. It represents a commitment to faith, service, sacrifice, and steadfastness in the face of challenges.
Furthermore, it calls upon believers to remain united, uphold justice, and prepare themselves spiritually and morally for the appearance of Imam Mahdi (A.T.F.S.).
With the help of Allah, Ayatullah Syed Mojtaba Khamenei would carry this responsibility and continue the mission of guidance and leadership for the Islamic Revolution.
Supporters see this role as one of protecting Islamic values, strengthening resistance against oppression, and preserving the unity of believers during a critical period in history.
Throughout the ages, the enemies of Islam have attempted to weaken faith through pressure, division, and intimidation. However, the Quran reminds believers that Allah’s light cannot be extinguished by human efforts.
Preparing for the Reappearance of Imam Mahdi (A.T.F.S.)
Instead, the mission of truth continues through those who remain steadfast upon faith and loyalty to the path of the Ahlulbayt (A.S.). Moreover, dedicated believers continue to uphold these values despite every challenge.
The ultimate goal remains unchanged. Believers seek to prepare the ground for the reappearance of Imam Mahdi (A.T.F.S.).
At that time, justice will prevail across the earth, and Allah will remove oppression.
Until that blessed day, believers are called to remain firm upon the principles of Islam. They are encouraged to remain united under the banner of faith, sacrifice, and obedience to Allah.
Under the guidance of Ayatullah Syed Mojtaba Khamenei, the path of Wilayah continues through faith, sacrifice, and unity. In this way, it carries forward the mission of the Islamic Revolution until the Zahoor of Imam Mahdi (A.T.F.S.).
