Throughout your life, no matter what situation you find yourself in, go and find the Name of God that is the remedy for your pain!
🗣️: Sheikh Esmaeil Ramezani
What made Imām Khomenī, Imām Khomenī, is God.
The same God is available to all of us. All we need is surrender and seek His presence.
Friendship with God while being detached to all passing phenomena is the key to become like Imām Khomenī in our own unique way.
The spiritual investment we made through Muharram and Safar is precious. Let us protect it from the harm of sin and keep our connection with Imam Hussain (a) alive.

@TowardInfiniti Truee, we really do need to take every aspect into consideration if we want to represent Imam (a) and carry his message. We (both individually and as communities) should keep asking ourselves whether our actions (and not just our words) are aligned with Imam Hussain’s values.
Even if you are drowning in sins, do not abandon Salah.
Never sever that delicate bond between you and Allah.
Keep at least one door between you and Him open.
You may think you need to reform yourself before you pray.
But sometimes, it is the prayer that reforms you.
Only Muslims who do not follow the Quran need to sign mutual defense agreements among themselves.
Those who do follow the Quran are obligated, according to God's guidance in the Quran, to defend one another.
Both Imam Khomeini and Shahid Imam Khamenei taught us that reforming oneself and drawing closer to God is much easier in youth than it is later in life.
May we take this profound teaching to heart and make the best use of our youth in seeking nearness to God.
The love of the Ahlul Bayt is meant to be transformational, not ceremonial.
If you go through all of Muharram and Safar and you still don't feel the need to better yourself, you're doing it wrong.
Allah swears 11 times in surah al-Shams to say this:
"Indeed the one who purifies his soul is successful, and the one who corrupts it has failed."
That's what life is all about. The rest is distractions.
