Revolution.

by Late Imam Khomeini, (in 1979) he started working in the mentioned
organization. While doing so, he left for the villages, so that he could solve
the villagers' problems. Having witnessed the cruelties and injustice of the
previous regime left behind for these groups of people, he aimed at making films
for the Construction Jihad. His first work was a TV series called "Khan Gazideh-ha".

His points of view

Shahid Sayyed Morteza Aviny considered the Western countries as a historic
manifestation of Satan. He specifically (about the post-Renaissance) believed
that the man's ignorance and rebellion had approached its climax through Omanism
and being self-centered, the fact which would pave the ground for repentance.


Shahid Aviny called the current age as "the Age of Human Kind's Repentance". He
considered the manifestation of a religious revolution as the manifestation of
this historic and spiritual repentance.

Sahahid Aviny considered the humankind's historical destiny, consisting the
elements as follows:

Dejection ( from collective and historical point of view)

Rebellion and being self-centered

Repentance( from the collective and historical point of view)

The beginning of spiritual age and saving from being self- centered.

Shahid Aviny considered the Islamic jurisdiction as the only legal government.
Here come his words:

"The Islamic Jurisdiction is the only system which can lead to the Islamic
superiority. The jurist is a person that the religious philosophy has improved
in his soul. He also possesses the power to analyze the practical religious
rules which are originated from the sources of truth which are Quran and
tradition".

He did not considered freedom as human's right, but rather as his mission:

"Freedom is not a human right, but it is his mission toward truth and justice.
However; this idea implies the negligence, which means that freedom has
essentially no resistance and battle with truth, justice and commitment and in
the case of manifestation of the true essence of freedom, all the quarrels and
negotiations would be settled down. These negotiations are because of negligence
about the true essence of freedom which is "Horriyat"."

"The real thinking is the present one which is "Reminder" (Zikr) and this latter
one can not be achieved automatically. "Presence" is the exact version of
"Reminder" and "Proximity" and "Negligence" are the exact "Dimension"."

Shahid Aviny was one of the serious and studious critics and at the same time
the intellectual one. He constantly, criticized the superficiality of the
Iranian intellectualism that appeared to be westernized. He considered those as
intellectuals who tried to use the rules and the considerations with the
theoretical, practical, empirical and sensational essence, taken from the logic
framework and apart from the revelation, as the basis of a drastic change in
mankind's life.

"An intellectual has contrastive ideas about the religion and associated
traditions. He depends upon his own ideology and acquires the practical rules of
his life through experiments and associated sciences. The intellectual community
has basically tendency toward Western culture and has westernized thought in his
mind. Even if he turns out to respect the religious principles, he will be about
to be eclectic. He does not believe in the Islamic authority because, he
believes in the Western democracy."

He considered the promulgation of this eclecticism as one of the goals behind
the cultural invasion:

"The cultural invasion of the enemies of the revolution would be directed at
those areas which have provided the independent identity and lead it to a
campaign with the West: the Islamic culture of the revolution is the Islamic
jurisdiction with no relationship with the U. S. A."

Shahid Aveeni was a true lover of the Islamic authority, a follower of his great
teacher "Imam Khomeini" and the Supreme leader" Ayatollah Khamenei".
