Martyrdom of Ayatollah Khamenei Highlights Global Imperialism, Inspires Youth
According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, Emil Ashurov, Deputy Chairman of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Russia, has spoken about the martyred leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Khamenei. He stated that the martyrdom of Ayatollah Khamenei serves as the highest benchmark for exposing the true nature of global imperialism and Zionism and their actual orientations. Furthermore, this martyrdom acts as a noble model, playing a significant role today in the upbringing of the young generation—a generation that practically demonstrates genuine solidarity, true independence, and a deep understanding of love for their homeland, faith, and heritage.
Ashurov described this as a grand school of thought that has been largely forgotten globally since World War II. He drew a parallel to historical documents from World War II, citing the unity and resistance of people when Nazi Germany attacked the Soviet Union. He emphasized that over the past 45 years, the Iranian nation has undergone profound spiritual, psychological, moral, human, and even political upbringing, which is now clearly visible in practice.
Highlighting a crucial point, Ashurov noted the difference in public reaction during air raids. While in many countries people seek shelter upon hearing air raid sirens, the Iranian people have displayed a completely different approach. They are unafraid of death, bombing, or threats designed to instill fear. This, he asserted, is a direct result of the upbringing provided by their leader, who demonstrated that a leader must stand with their people, not apart from them.
Ashurov believes this type of upbringing and intellectual school can transform global structures in the future. He suggested that if a book on moral, human, and patriotic upbringing of generations were to be written, this experience would undoubtedly hold a deserving place within it. This approach, he added, poses a challenge to the current world order, with few historical examples of similar impact in recent decades. He likened the situation to the events of Karbala, suggesting a deep connection between that historical event and current circumstances.
He characterized this as an awakening, not just for one nation but for the entire global community. The Iranian nation, inspired by this school of thought, is teaching the world a lesson in true love—love for the homeland, the people, and the values that form the core of their identity. Ashurov lamented that these values have either disappeared or are disappearing in many countries, despite being the foundation of all progress, society, and human character.
He credited Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei with instilling these values in society over the years, not through force but through sincerity and affection. He stated that people genuinely welcomed him with true love. Ashurov also observed a distinct difference in interactions, even with children, noting that while such meetings are often planned and controlled in many countries, the connection in Iran was real and intimate. These very qualities, he concluded, contributed to his popularity among the people and caused concern among certain powers regarding him and the Iranian nation.
