The blood of the martyred leader is the cause of the awakening of the Islamic Ummah

Mawlawi Abdul Raouf Tawana, head of the Shahid Tawana Cultural Foundation, in an exclusive interview with the Taghrib News Agency (TNA), analyzed the various dimensions of the resilience of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the consequences of the martyrdom of the Supreme Leader of the Revolution, Grand Ayatollah Khamenei.

Iran's resilience; a model for free nations

Mawlawi Tawana, referring to decades of sanctions, pressure, assassinations, and threats against the Islamic Republic of Iran, said: "Despite all these conspiracies and obstructions, the Islamic Republic of Iran was able to remain steadfast on its principles and ideals, and this is a historical miracle. This resilience carries a great message for all free nations of the world."

He added: "What has preserved Iran against this massive onslaught are four key elements: faith in God, unity and national cohesion, resistance against oppression, and trust in God. These four principles have been the key to Iran's passage through all crises. If other nations follow this path, they too can withstand the heaviest pressures and emerge victorious."

The great sacrifice of the leader; a heavy and awakening loss

The head of the Shahid Tawana Cultural Foundation, expressing deep sorrow over the martyrdom of the Supreme Leader of the Revolution, said: "The great sacrifice of the Supreme Leader of the Revolution, Grand Ayatollah Khamenei, is an extremely heavy and indescribable loss for the Islamic Ummah, because he was not only the leader of Iran, but the leader and pioneer of all Muslims of the world."

He continued: "But the important point is that his pure blood will not be wasted. History has shown that the blood of martyrs causes the awakening of nations. I am certain that his martyrdom will cause greater awakening of the Islamic Ummah, strengthen the resistance front, and continue the revolution with greater power. The enemies think that through assassination they can stop the revolution, but they are unaware that every martyr makes the revolution ten times stronger."

Demanding retribution for the leader; a transnational and Quranic duty

Mawlawi Tawana, emphasizing that the issue of demanding retribution from the killers of the martyred Imam is not limited to the Islamic Republic of Iran alone, said: "This duty is not only on Iran's shoulders. All members of the Islamic Ummah, especially the resistance front, are responsible for this crime. The killers of the martyred Imam must know that they will receive the response to this crime from all Muslims of the world."

Referring to the Quranic foundations of this approach, he added: "The resistance front derives its strategy from the Holy Quran. The Quran teaches us that we should not remain silent in the face of oppression and crime. Nothing other than the retribution of the killers can answer this crime. Just retribution is not only a right, but a religious and human duty."

The martyrdom of the leader of the Ummah; an irreparable loss

The head of the Shahid Tawana Cultural Foundation, with regret and sorrow, said: "The martyrdom of the leader of the Islamic Ummah is a great loss that nothing can compensate. His absence has created a deep void in the heart of the Islamic Ummah. He was not only a political leader, but a spiritual authority and moral model for all of us."

In conclusion, he noted: "But as followers of his path, we must continue his path with greater faith and unity. The best revenge against the enemies is to continue his path with strength and firmness. We must show that the martyrdom of leaders does not weaken the revolution, but makes it more deeply rooted and powerful."
