Following selected excerpts from Imam Khomeini’s sayings indicate that one of the major objectives of the holy prophet’s mission had been to undertake struggle against oppressors and exploiting powers.
“God’s blessing and peace be upon the Holy Prophet Muhammad who rose against pagans and oppressors alone, and hoisted the flag of unity in favor of the poor; he didn’t fear the lack of forces or the limited number of his companions while he had no military equipments. He attacked rebellious and wicked oppressors only with the power of faith and decision-making, and in less than half a century, he delivered the message of unity to the greatest inhabited areas of the world.”
