Dear Readers,

We sincerely hope this spring will be most inspiring for you, your families and your friends and indeed for every other truth-loving, justice seeking servant of Allah.

In fact, we do believe we can be inspired by every message of truth and blessing in whatever form it might be. Just as the fragrant roses convey the message of Allah’s power, mercy and love to us, so also the fragrant victory of the courageous freedom-

fighters the world over can inspire us with increased belief in the fact that Allah’s promises including the promise of Divine help to those who struggle for the truth and justice will certainly be fulfilled and that all we have to do is to trust in Allah and be persistent in our truthful struggles. And as emphasized by his eminence, Ayatollah Khamenei, an inspiring message and instructive lesson can be learned by the world nations from the example of the Islamic Republic system which is a thoughtful combination of people’s will and Divine teachings and decrees. An unbiased survey will

easily reveal the truthfulness and comprehensiveness of this system and will also reveal the fact that if there is any true democracy in the world, it is to be found in such a system which is blessed with the illuminating commands of Allah and the guidelines presented by Divine teachers, not the systems which are controlled by ignorant, deceitful,

and treacherous hands.

So, inspired by Divine messages, let’s unite and help each other in the way of Allah and support the cause of Allah in all possible ways. And rest assured that the spring of the victory of the righteous will soon replace the cold winter of tyranny.
