The Leader touched on the opportunities, which the cyberspace and social media networks offer for enlightenment and clarification of the ambiguities.

“The path of Hazrat Seyyed al-Shuhada (Imam Hussein) is a blessed and sweet path that will lead to a definite outcome and success, and you, the youth, will be able to take the country to the zenith of physical and spiritual well-being, inspired by this path and enlightening knowledge, God willing,” the Leader stated.
