In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
The soldiers of the Imam of the Time (may Allah expedite his advent) at the service of the Qur'an Peace be upon you, the soldiers of the Imam of the Time (`a). As you have cried out up until now you have been at the service of the taghout, which has decimated all our being; the taghout, which has emptied our treasury, the taghout, which has turned us into slaves of the foreigners. From today you are at the service of the Imam of the Time, may God's peace be upon him, and the glorious Qur'an, which has guaranteed the prosperity of all humanity; the glorious Qur'an, which assures anyone who remains under its banner of prosperity in this world and the hereafter; the glorious Qur'an, which advocates freedom and independence. We are all the followers of the glorious Qur'an and Islamic precepts and ordinances. All of us, as well as the clergy are grateful to you.
The obliteration of the taghout and the establishment of the Islamic rule
We hope that we, aided by our solidarity, will be able to obliterate the taghout forever, and instead establish an Islamic rule of justice in which the country belongs to us and our affairs are in our hands. We want our destiny to be determined by ourselves, not by the US or the USSR embassies. We want our country to be restored by us, not by the Jews or Israel.
We want to emancipate our country and divest it of any suppression. We want the armed forces to be free, not to be dominated by Israel or America.
Salutations to you, who have understood the value of divine blessings and have become one with the Qur'an. Peace be upon you, who have abandoned the taghout rule and adhered to God's rule. I hope that the rest of the individuals, who are still serving, will eventually understand their duty and join the nation. We want your well-being. We want you to be free. We want you to render our country independent. We want to render non-existent anybody who aims at dominating you, to sever the hands of the foreign powers. May God grant you victory. This movement must be safeguarded, so that, God willing, we attain the penultimate and final goal, which is for an Islamic humane rule of justice to rise in place of the rule of the taghout.
May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
