Islamic Awakening and Muslim Nations Uprising

"This new wave of movement and public awakening in Islamic nations and this hatred of the colonial autocracy and tyranny, gives me hope. This public awakening is not temporal and will last up until it terminates autocracy and their tyranny."(1)
In the early 20th century, the victory of Iran's Islamic Revolution led by a wise, pious unique mystic was promising for all the reformist nations all over the world, who were in search of God. This revolution ruined the dominant image of evil powers and autocratic governments for the oppressed nations and provided the reformist individuals with a chance to start reformist movements for the sake of justice, so that the third millennium can be dubbed "man's age of reviving mysticism, justice and awakening as a result". This awakening which was firstly a result of reviving identity and self-esteem in the Islamic nations, ruined the global equations of autocracy and determinism based on which only the capitalists and the great powers were formally recognized. This also undermined liberalism and capitalism and therefore boosted the pure Islamic front, which was established by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in search of actualizing human values and mysticism. The essence of this uprising is rooted in its divine approach and incentive defined by its great leader-Imam Khomeini (s), without which this ideal could not have been achieved. This is what Imam Khomeini always was focused on for achieving victory:
"Rise for God's sake and for establishing the truth (2) …If an uprising is started for God's sake, there will be no horror or loss .(3)"
Imam Khomeini's reformist thoughts are undoubtedly the origins of the modern day liberal movements. These liberal and mystical movements are fruits of the innate approach chosen by the oppressed nations, because of the public awakening, which will achieve its goals only by the continuation of its resistance. Imam Khomeini always spoke about and expected to come true for all of the Muslim nations about this future:
"We hope all the Muslim nations rise based on this awakening, and defeat the evil super powers, which are in search of finding dominance over the other nations.(4)"
What this movement brought forth was a spirit of change in the Muslim nations, who gradually chose an Islamic justice-centered approach based on their bitter past experiments of being in a state of dependence on the betrayers governments and their betrayer intellectuals supporting eastern of western powers. This is the concept that actualized Imam's idea about the issuance of revolutionary movements. This concept is a contagious thought based on which other movements have been formed in the neighbor nations so far. This is a path in which faith in God, unity of word, independence, freedom, opposition to autocracy, denial of outsiders' dominance and opposition to corruption are considered as its principal principles:
"Issuance of our revolution means that all the nations are to be awakened and free themselves from the dominance of these super powers who are robbing their all resources and make them live in poverty.(5)"
In fact, the main purpose of such uprisings is actualization of the elevated ideals of humankind to which all the divine religions have invited reformist men so far. This is the common belief on which all the public revolutions are based. Considering Iran's revolution as a role model and following its elevated ideals by the neighbor nations is a common ground for these countries, and gives an image of a united Islamic totality of the oppressed nations. This is the real meaning of the issuance of Iran's revolution, which was promised by Imam Khomeini (s) and against which the hatred and enmity of its evil super-powered enemies was aroused from the beginning:
"Today our revolution is exported to the whole world. Everywhere you can hear about Islam on which the oppressed have set their hopes. You should introduce Islam to the world exactly as it is, using proper advertising methods. Having known Islam, the other nations will gain faith in it. We ask for nothing except actualization of Islamic decrees in the entire world. (6)"
The future of this global social awakening, in Imam Khomeini's point of view, is the Islamic utopia in which God's divine promises will come true and the oppressed pious nations will dominate the world:
"Today I clearly see a promising future for the oppressed of the world, as a result of the issuance of our revolution. The movement started by the oppressed against the autocratic powers is progressing and promising. This gradually makes us closer to God's promise, as the world is being prepared for the rise of divine leadership- the sun which will arise in the horizon of Mecca (the ideal house of the oppressed).(7)"
