Mohajeri: Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Blended Iranian and Islamic Identity

Mohammad Mohajeri: The martyred leader, due to his profound familiarity with Persian literature and the importance he attached to Iranian history, was able to shape a culturally powerful Iran and transform that mentality into reality in society. This is why you see that he, with his mastery of Persian literature, was very well able to bring the people of Iran to be patriotic people and entirely Iranian. ▸ On the other hand, he, as a source of emulation and jurisprudent—particularly an innovative jurisprudent—was able to possess governmental jurisprudence at its highest level, both scientifically and practically. ▸ We have different nationalities in our country that have different cultures; cultures, if not managed correctly, could come into conflict with one another, but the Iranian essence and the essence of Iranian Muslim or better said the Iranian Muslim race, was able to place these cultures alongside one another and nurture all of them without being in contradiction and conflict with each other or fighting one another at all. ▸ The martyred leadership, by utilizing two characteristics in the direction of strengthening Iranian-Islamic identity, made an effort that in my opinion these two characteristics are valuable for every Iranian, especially youth who possess inherent pride and wish to live with dignity.
