A) Due to its divine origin
This is God's doing. No power is capable, within the space of a year or so- it can now be said to have been a year and so many months, for things had gradually begun to change from some time back although nothing was yet visibly apparent- of bringing about this change and transformation which has been realized within our country and our nation, whereby the situation of the past hundreds of years has been changed meaning that two thousand and five hundred years have been trampled underfoot and wiped out. This cannot be the doing of just anyone. It can in no way be said to have been the clergy's doing. It cannot be said to have been the doing of the people from the bazaar. No indeed, this movement is God's doing; it has gushed forth from within the nation itself in accordance with God's will, and it therefore holds promise. This is something from God, something which is hopeful.

B) Unity of expression, a key to victory
We can say that in this recent movement the best achievement garnered is the unity, which had been created among various walks of life: academicians have now become closer to the clergy, and vice-versa; the merchants, too, share affinity with them, and likewise the farmers. Now you see that all classes of people all over Iran share the same ideas and beliefs and are unanimously saying they want an Islamic republic. The secret of our success, which had pushed back great global powers and made the satanic power of the Pahlavi family crumble, is this very unity of all walks of life and the unity of expression. If the clerics had waged war against) satanic powers (alone, they would have been strangled. If writers wanted to fight alone, they would have been destroyed. If the academicians had done so by themselves, they could not) have succeeded (. If the merchants had done so alone, it would not have been possible. The fact that we have achieved everything, and, God willing, will achieve more, is due to this very same solidarity among the walks of the nation. We should safeguard this solidarity.

C) Purification of souls and spirits
This spiritual change is astounding. This spiritual transformation caused this victory to take place for our nation. Pray so that God causes such a change in all Islamic and oppressed nations, and that the Exalted God so destines that we all become transformed. This spiritual transformation and this Islamic Revolution are gifts that God, the Most High, has sent down to our nation from heaven. We should all offer thanks to God, the Exalted and Blessed. I must appreciate this blessing, this grace and these hardships undergone by the Iranian nation. I should thank God for these but am unable to do so. It was the people who did everything; it was God who supported them, and it was God's might and the power of faith, which blossomed on the last days of the Revolution. It was this power, which, through God's hand, uprooted a 2, 005- year-old monarchy that was backed overtly by the US and covertly by the USSR. China, Britain; all the superpowers were behind that regime which had in its possession all modern weapons. Our nation was empty-handed, and had nothing, not even a single rifle. But it was the power of faith, the power of God. It should not be surprising that God, the Exalted and Blessed, so destines that a nation, which has nothing and no weapons, but the weapon of faith triumphs over all powers.
