Ayatollah Emami Kashani calls for vigilance vis-a-vis enemies' ploys

]Tehran, April 21, IRNA -- Substitute leader of Tehran Friday prayers ayatollah Mohammad Emami Kashani in the first sermon of today's prayers drew attention of the Iranian nation to the conspiracies hatched by the global arrogance and called on the muslim ummah to be constantly vigilant.

Addressing thousands of worshippers gathered at Tehran university campus in Tehran downtown, he referred to the recent remarks of the supreme leader ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei and said the enemy has managed to infiltrate into the Islamic Iran and pursue its goals through bases it had set up inside the country.

Stressing the important role the youth play in the scene of the Islamic revolution, the ayatollah elaborated on the villain schemes designed by the enemies to counter the Islamic revolution saying: "we should be aware of the ways and means the enemy tries to use in order to materialize its inhumane goals in our country."

Ayatollah Kashani further said the founder of the Islamic Republic had disappointed the enemies who struggled to realize their ill intentions thanks to his high vigilance and strong faith and the sacrifice of the youth, forcing the enemies to continue their opposition from outside.

Pointing to the economic sanctions imposed on Iran by the United States, eight years of sacred defense, the inflation and the economic hardships created by foreigners, he said the enemy has come to believe that it can make use of the economic problems to trasfer the opposition against the Islamic revolution into the country.

The ayatollah further said this ploy is doomed to failure as the previous conspiracies designed by the global arrogance and enemies of the Islamic revolution.

In the second sermon of this week's Friday prayers, ayatollah Emami Kashani further warned people about the ploys set by enemies of the revolution, saying that interpreting religion in the form of a school of thought is a great calamity for the global arrogance.

He remarked that this idea is still spreading in the muslim world and it is in fact the real meaning of the export of the revolution.

"Their second plan was to tamper with the religion; that is the reason why they replaced the word 'freedom' with the word 'reform' " he said, adding that the reform they are looking for is an American one.

Ayatollah kashani went on to say in the second sermon that even the notion of the Islamic supreme jurisprudence has been distorted by the enemies who unjustly label it as despotism.

"The heavy duty shouldered by the leader through 98.2 per cent of people's votes for the Islamic Republic's constitution does not let him feel indifferent to such issues as surrendering to an ignoble peace with the U.S. " he said.

While putting the blame on certain newspapers, Kashani attacked those who show disrespect to the revolutionary values and tend to bring about insecurity, social commotion, distrust and disappointment.

Ayatollah kashani later called on people to exercise vigilance at the present circumstances, stressing that the Iranian people have always stood up for unity and national security at the time of danger.

Calling solidarity the key to safeguarding the country's security, Kashani appreciated the judiciary, the executive and the legislature bodies for their perseverance in carrying out their duties in unison.

Kashani, who is also a member of the Expediency Council, later in his address condemned a recent conference held in Berlin on Iran and said attending such meetings is religiously prohibited .

The substitute leader of Tehran Friday prayers wrapped up his speech by stressing the need for observance of Islamic hijab (Islamic code of dress) by the Iranian women. He further said that hazrat Zahra (as), prophet Mohammad's (pbuh) daughter, is the perfect model for the muslim women. "indifference towards a correct Islamic code of clothing will end up in weakening the family life in the society; while Islam seeks to consolidate it as a firm foundation of the Islamic society," said he.
