Most Impenetrable Shield of Defence & Most Formidable Weapon

 

By: S. Nawabzadeh

At a time when the enemies of humanity, Islam, and Iran, are indulging in economic terrorism, flaunting their financial power, boasting of their monetary might, bragging about their cyber capabilities, flexing their military muscles, waxing proud over their ‘beautiful’ weapons of mass destruction, and dreaming of browbeating into submission all independent and freedom-loving Muslim entities, whether countries or popular movements, what lines of defence does the Ummah has against these tyrants?

Do we have any hope or any helper to break the stranglehold of these satanic forces over our planet, which is being spiritually and materially destroyed through their breach of God’s commandments and their misuse of the bounties of nature?  

How can we turn the tide of the corruption of societies by Global Arrogance, led by the US, which completely disregards religious precepts and openly indulges in the destructive culture of oppression, exploitation, occupation, usurpation, deprivation, violence, terrorism, wars, and bloodshed, in addition to spread of drugs, diseases, famines, crimes, promiscuity, and unnatural sexual relations?

Will the juggernaut of ecological disasters unleashed by blind materialism make the Earth inhospitable through deforestation; water, air, and sound pollution; piling of dangerous industrial wastes; manufacture of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons; and release of dangerous gasses that are depleting the Ozone layer and resulting in global warming with the melting of glaciers, rise of sea levels, and submerging of coastal lands, in addition to desertification, drying up of fresh water resources, and ultimately the death of agriculture?

Does this bleak situation of the modern world mean there is no one to deliver humanity from the yoke of suicidal tyrants, such as the US president, Donald Trump?

Perhaps there are no viable answers to the above questions in societies and cultures devoid of spirituality and ignorant of God, the Just, the All-Merciful, the All-Observant and All-Wise Creator of the Universe, Who has promised the believers of the deliverance from tyrants and the triumph of justice.

In contrast, in the countries and communities that adhere to the teachings of the Prophets and follow the Revealed Word of God, there is nothing to be despaired about. 

Such people are neither overawed by the might of tyrants, nor have they lost self-confidence in their power of resistance which makes them indomitable, to the frustration of their enemies.

This in fact, is not just the strongest line of defence against the plots of Global Arrogance but the most formidable weapon to defeat the satanic powers and their bid to destroy Planet Earth.

Yesterday on the 25th of the sacred month of Dhu’l-Qa’dah ("Dahw al-Ardh” or Earth Day), the faithful throughout Iran, unfazed by the sanctions of the US, undaunted by Trump’s terrorist threats, and unperturbed by the rumours of American agents, supplicated as usual to God Almighty with the words:

"O Allah! Curse the tyrants of the past and the last generations; who usurped the rights of Your representatives.

"O Allah! End their sway, destroy their followers and agents, hasten their ruin, expropriate their realms, straiten their ways and policies towards a dead end, and damn their theoreticians and their associates;

"O Allah, hasten the advent of Your Representatives, restore to them their usurped rights, and raise with truth their "Qaem” (Imam Mahdi [AS] and his global government of peace, prosperity and justice), to make Your religion prevail, and to carry out Your commandments against Your enemies.”

This supplication is lengthy, and was also recited in the Land of Revelation, Hijaz, where the Hajj pilgrims in the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, either in the precincts of God’s Symbolic House the Sacred Ka’ba, or in the blessed shrine of Prophet Muhammad (SAWA), invoked Divine Protection against the disbelievers.

The southern parts of Lebanon also buzzed with these dynamic words yesterday to the horror of the devilish Zionists whose doom is around the corner.

Because of a day’s difference in the sighting of the crescent of Dhu’l-Qa’dah in Iraq, India, and Pakistan, this supplication is being recited today by the faithful in the said lands by the faithful with full certitude in the Infinite Power of God Almighty to end tyranny on Earth and make the Planet a peaceful place to live.

Glory to God for granting the believers the most impenetrable shield of defence and the most potent weapon for defeating the enemies of humanity, Islam, and Iran.
