Moonlight

Hujjat al-Islam Ghara’ati:
When the Earth [people] backs off the sun [imam Mahdi], will become night and when it faces, it will become day and light will encompass everywhere. Also the occultation time of Imam Mahdi (hgr) is like night!

At night, the sun light shines to the moon and moon uses it; so moon’s light is due to the sun. The late Imam Khomeini1 was like a moonlight in the occultation night…

We shouldn’t lose the line. In the age of Shah [Muhammad Rida Pahlavi2], some wanted the emergence of Imam Mahdi (hgr), but when Sir Sayyid Ruhollah arose, they didn’t help him at all! Imam Mahdi (hgr) will remove the idolatrous and Imam Khomeini removed an idolatrous. So he and his movement must be helped.

*1&2: Ayatollah Khomeini was an Iranian Shia Muslim religious leader, philosopher, revolutionary and politician. He was the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the leader of the 1979 Iranian Revolution that saw the overthrow of the Pahlavi monarchy and Muhammad Rida Pahlavi.
