Alam al-Hoda: Our concerns were alleviated in recent incidents with the involvement of the Basij
Seyyed Ahmad Alam al-Hoda stated that the events of the past 70 days have proven that growth has far exceeded decline, and the Islamic Revolution front has become more equipped and elevated both materially and spiritually.
Although much time has passed and over the years some have grown old and frail, becoming weak in defending the truth or even experiencing decline, the truth is that Islam still stands firm.
A member of the Assembly of Experts, during the early days of the unrest when central areas of Mashhad such as Ahmadabad, a major thoroughfare and economic center, were exposed to the turmoil caused by adversaries, the shopkeepers and residents were worried about the rampage of these thugs. However, with the intervention of the self-sacrificing Basij forces in the form of Imam Ali battalions, our concerns were alleviated, and the safety of the people was preserved.
