Mobilizing Traits
Mobilizing body is not a systematic or hierarchical structure, ready to perform any military defense; moreover, it is Islamic in its ideology, culture and discipline; that’s why the mobilizing members enjoy some special traits including the following:
Islamic Movement
Imam Al-Khamenei says:
“Mobilizing system is logical and Islamic; it responds to the social needs of its community”.
The Mobilizing system along with its members believes in and practices Islam.
Faithful
The Islamic ideology and knowledge of the mobilizing members have been transformed into an inner faith practically applied on a daily basis; as a result, these members are Muslims, disciplined in accordance to Allah’s principles, which are in turn the source of these members’ real happiness.
Imam Al-Khamenei says:
“Mobilizing atmosphere is full of high values; mobilizing members means having a faithful heart and an intellectual mind, by which he is ready to get involved in any field where duty calls. The mobilizing member believes in Almighty Allah and obeys Him, is always concerned with Islamic values; besides that he is a good man, his heart is full with everything that is good, his heart is pure and unharmed by bad manners, he always tries to develop his cordial feeling to stay attached to Almighty Allah, and consequently be always His good creature who goes in accordance to His principles; in addition to that, he believes that this path is the one leading to Almighty Allah”.
According to Islamic calculations and considerations that are born by the mobilizing member, happiness is achieved through obeying Almighty Allah. Besides that, mobilizing female members are reminding others with Allah’s presence through their obedience as they are wearing the Islamic custom of «hijab» and adopting decent standards. They call for Almighty Allah through their faith and deeds.
Imam Al-Khamenei says:
“Our dear sisters of mobilizing members are veiled and decent ladies, adhere to «Shari’a» standards, reminding us with the first original period of Islam, bearing the greatest responsibilities defending sacred Islam, and part of the millions of people who belong to this revolution”.
Targeting
Imam Al-Khamenei says:
“The soul of mobilizing member accepts Divine knowledge and thus does not consider personal content and happiness would be achieved through worldly and temporal pleasant life or colorful and attractive clothes; such a soul does not enjoy that sort of materialistic pleasant satisfaction even for one hour; to this soul, such low and insignificant matters are of no consideration”.
According to Islamic ideology, this life is no more than a temporal world whose human deeds and intentions will be presented in the other afterlife; thus, mobilizing member is always busy in building up for his afterlife; he never thinks about a worldly post or wealth; thus this present life is simply a path to reach Allah’s satisfaction and content; his all human aspects of body, soul, heart and intellect are being connected to Almighty Allah. Obeying Allah’s principles in this life is highly valuable; moreover, it is the axis of his movement; the utmost goal he seeks to achieve is Allah’s satisfaction and content.
Imam Al-Khamenei says:
“It is frequently said that mobilizing members do not fight for materialistic properties but rather they do fight for goals and values. Actually this is the core of the Divine Islamic knowledge”.
Rational, Aware
As Prophet Muhammad, May Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him and his Household, says:
“Believers are well-mannered, shrewd, and cautious”1.
Thus, a mobilizing member is a good follower of what’s going on in the Islamic world and his contemporary age, he behaves according to his high reasonable intellect without chaos or quickness in making any decision.
Imam Al-Khamenei says:
“A mobilizing member is a thinker and intellectual. Besides that, the entire mobilizing system has been started as a transparent logical movement of well-considered work terminated with fruitful and practical results; this is one of the traits characterizing the mobilizing body and members, as well”.
Some might mistakenly think that being an obedient and a follower or supporter to a leader like the governance jurist is something that would be on behalf of being educated and conscious. However, although such obeying is dutiful- yet it is not acceptable if it is not based upon obeying on knowledge and thinking; thus a well based obedience is much better in any case!
Imam Al-Khamenei says:
“Awareness is a basic level of the mobilizing system and members in the Islamic Republic; we don’t accept having people with blind sight and obedience or readiness to fight without knowing what’s going on”.
Cultured
Mobilizing members are highly cultured and educated to the extent that make them qualified enough to occupy a leading role in confronting the challenges imposed by tyrants.
Imam Al-Khamenei says:
“The culture of the mobilizing member is the one that is derived from courage, enthusiasm, high spirituality, freedom and independence, and avoid getting trapped in the mean materialistic chains”.
These terms are the lanterns of mobilizing members; these members are totally independent from any Western and the Eastern cultures; they are Islamic in culture and mood as they are always concerned about human righteous issues; they are courageous so that nothing would threaten them or hinder their movement in fulfilling their developing role in confrontation and fighting domain; besides that, they are not materialistic so that such life would never humiliate or enslave them; they are free from this life’s bounds, glory and illusions.
They are Allah’s people who favor Almighty Allah and Almighty Allah favors them too.
Pious
Mobilizing members are not chaos at all; on the contrary, they follow and respect laws and rules; moreover, they persuade people to do so; thinking otherwise is incorrect.
Imam Al-Khamenei says:
“Thinking that a mobilizing member is careless about laws and rules must be canceled, for it is surely mistaken; on the contrary; he is the first citizen who has a burning desire to obey laws”.
Besides that, mobilizing members are well-disciplined and mannered in accordance with Islamic principles, just as Imam Ja’afar Al-Sadiq «Peace be upon him»says:
“Be good representatives of us [Ahlu al-Bayt], and do not bring shame to us!’’2.
Imam Al-Khamenei says:
“The basic manners that characterize the mobilizing member are disciplines, etiquettes, Islamic manners; these are the man-ners that must be adapted by him before anybody else. He has to gain public trust, and be a model in adopting modesty, mercy, and respecting laws. His general behavior and disci-plines must be more Islamic than anyone else”.
Mobilizing members must be the first who present these manners; otherwise who would do so?
Energetic
Imam Ja’afar Al-Sadiq, «Peace be upon him» says:
“Avoid both laziness and boredom for they block your luck in present life and afterlife, as well”3.
Mobilizing members are fully energetic and highly committed; laziness knows no way to them and can’t hinder their effort to fulfill their Islamic duties.
Imam Al-Khamenei says:
“Mobilizing members is highly determined”.
Nationally Attentive
Imam Al-Khamenei says:
“Mobilizing member is greatly concerned about national issues, the general path of his homeland, and any rival cultural and military attacks; he can’t move on toward the direction of corruption; he doesn’t give himself a chance to think about committing something corrupted promoted by the opponents; in brief, this is the mobilizing member”.
He is not careless; he is not on the margin; he is not selfish; he is not unfamiliar with national issues. On the contrary, he is totally aware and detective to crucial issues.
Mahdist4
Basically, mobilizing system is a movement that works on paving the way for Imam Al-Mahdi, May Almighty Allah expedite his arrival as soon as possible.
As they keep working, mobilizing members are always yearning to present themselves as supporters and warriors of his front as he arrives; they want to deliver a message to their Master Imam al-Mahdi, Peace be upon him, as stating:
“Dear our Master, we support you by our words, hearts, deeds and swords; our hearts and eyes are yearning to see you; we are awaiting your flag fluttering high in the sky; our Jihad and deeds assure that we are following your path; we are under your leadership; we are ready to get our spirits, parents and money redeemed before your presence; this is our message to you; and this is our convention”.
Imam Al-Khamenei says:
“The held convention between our Master Imam Al-Mahdi, May our spirits be redeemed before him, and our dear mobilizing members is constant and unshakable”.
Thus, mobilizing members are actually the potential warriors of Imam Al-Mahdi, Peace be upon him.
Imam Al-Khamenei says:
“Dear mobilizing troops, consider yourselves the warriors of Master of our time, May our spirits be redeemed before him; wherever you are -in universities, the Islamic Scholar institutions, schools, villages or cities- let your work be for Imam Al-Mahdi, May Allah expedite his honorable arrival, and ask Almighty Allah to offer you His guaranteed success and help”.
