In this view, arrogance is not merely military or economic hegemony. Rather, it is a manifestation of rebellion against truth and the opposite of submission to God the Almighty.Understanding this deep foundation is the key to understanding why we stand firm today and do not compromise with the system of domination, a confrontation rooted in human nature.Imam, drawing on divine narrations and the Qur’an, cited America as an example of arrogance and as representing the forces of ignorance. In Imam’s monotheistic worldview, arrogance is considered an un-Islamic trait.
According to Imam’s interpretation, arrogance is disobedience and rebellion, and it is the opposite of submission, which is outward compliance grounded in inward conviction.
Extracted from the text of the speech "Today, any voice that creates division among the ranks of the nation is definitely the voice of the enemy, knowingly or unknowingly. Preserving social capital is everyone's duty. The Islamic Republic is the embodiment of the truth. This revolution was insured with the blood of our martyred leader. The courage of Imam’s monument is exemplary.
