Statements at the End of the Mourning Ceremony of Student Associations on the Occasion of Arbaeen

In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

May God, God willing, accept all of you dear youth with your pure hearts and fervent emotions; may He also bestow His grace upon us through your blessings. The truth is that God's grace towards the youth is special due to their pure hearts, sincere feelings, and clear faith; know this. Appreciate this gift and this blessing that the Almighty God has designated for the believing youth. We too, God willing, hope to benefit from the corner of God's grace and utilize it.

Today was also a very good session. I thank all the brothers who executed the program, all of you, and everyone involved.

I will say a few sentences of prayer. Pay attention and, God willing, say Amen.

O Allah, fill our hearts with longing for You, with fear of You, with belief and faith in You, with awe of You, and with yearning for You, O Lord of the worlds. O Allah, unite us with the righteous and make us among the righteous who remain. O Allah, grant us victory in Your religion, strength in Your worship, understanding in Your creation, and two portions of Your mercy. O Allah, brighten our faces with Your light and make our desire for what is with You, and let us die in Your path upon Your religion and the religion of Your Messenger.

O Lord! Make the great ideals and aspirations of the Islamic Revolution a reality for this young generation. O Lord! Do not withhold Your blessings and compassionate gaze from this nation, especially from these youth. O Lord! Increase day by day the support for Islam, Muslims, and the Islamic Republic. O Lord! Do not let our hearts, which are filled with hope in You, be devoid of this light of hope. O Lord! By Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, we beseech You to unite our dear martyrs with the Prophet and his descendants and the martyrs of Karbala. O Lord! Include us among them. O Allah, have mercy on me for my weakness and grant me for my poverty. O Lord! Do not consider our incapacity to respond to these prayers; look upon us with Your grace, mercy, and favor. O Lord! By Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, keep the plots and schemes of the enemy away from this nation; grant our nation victory over the sworn and vile enemies. O Lord! Just as You have made all our steps steadfast in this path over these forty years, make our steps even more steadfast and stronger in this path. O Lord! Bring closer the reappearance of Your Guardian and Proof. O Lord! Illuminate our eyes, the eyes of our youth, with the vision of that great one. O Lord! By Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, make us steadfast in the Quran; make us steadfast in the Ahl al-Bayt; make us strivers in Your path; make us truthful in speech and action. O Lord! By Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, accept us as soldiers of Islam and soldiers of this revolution; place our lives and deaths in this path. O Lord! Forgive us; forgive our sins; forgive our predecessors; be pleased with our parents. O Lord! Unite the great Imam with Your saints. O Lord! Unite the great Imam, who opened this radiant and blessed path, with the prophets and saints. O Lord! Increase the honor of our dear martyrs day by day in our country, among our nation, in our hearts, and in our lives; make the families of the martyrs more honored and proud day by day; grant Your grace, mercy, and favor to the Mojahedin of Your path wherever they are in the world; make the sacred heart of the Awaited Imam pleased and satisfied with us.

Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
