Ayatollah Saanei's message for Nelson Mandela departure
In the Name of God
“O people! Is not your God the same and your father the same?… Neither is Arab superior to non-Arab, nor non-Arab to Arab, neither black race to red race, nor red race to black race; superiority is a matter of piety and fear of God…” (The Holy Prophet (S))
Today, everyone, especially every human rights defender, grieves the loss of the 95-year-old Mandela who spent almost a third of his precious and honorable life in prison cells of the oppressive, despotic, and discriminatory ruling systems where he was treated beneath human dignity. However, it is certain that the sufferings of the oppressed and innocent prisoners imprisoned for no reason but the love of and fight for freedom and human rights will some day yield the desired results just as did those of Madiba’s sufferings for his anti-apartheid movement.
Calumniators and tyrants should know that the louder they cry out their untrue and unfair accusations and claims about the freedom-loving prisoners deprived of legal human rights, the more evident their rightfulness and the more prepared the ground will be for their freedom from such prisons: “Is not the morning nigh?” (The Quran: 11: 81). Everyone should know that the good deed of such freedom-lovers and human rights defenders shall count in the hereafter and shall give their other-worldly face much brighter shine and much greater perfection: “Whoso bringeth a good deed will receive tenfold the like thereof” (the Quran: 6: 160). We hope for the day when there will be no oppression, injustice, and discrimination and when justice will be spread all over the world by the Promised Mahdi (AJ).
