Establishing prayer in all its stages of development and levels of perfection throughout a society and country that has raised the banner of the true Islam of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and takes pride in Islamic governance is one of the most crucial affairs. It is an essential prerequisite for paving the way to transition from the stage of Islamic movement and Revolution to that of an Islamic society. Only after this will attaining the stage of Islamic civilization become possible.

The firm establishment and widespread, universal observance of prayer, followed by a collective effort to perform it in the best manner, are the two main pillars of the endeavor to achieve this important objective. Furthermore, helping mosques to become more active and implementing other measures aimed at increasing the quantity and enhancing the outward quality of congregational and Friday prayers are necessary preludes to attaining this goal. In all these respects, the role of the congregational and Friday prayer leaders is particularly significant. They must serve as a refuge for the people and be a listening and receptive ear for their concerns and grievances.

I am hopeful that, through divine grace and the special favor and prayers of our Master, Imam Mahdi (may Almighty Allah hasten his noble reappearance), our dear nation and country will be successful and their actions will be accepted in the matter of establishing prayer and benefiting from its spiritual graces and blessings.
