INTRODUCTION
In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Peace and blessings be upon Mohammed and his pure immaculate family
Ethics is the discipline concerned with what is morally good and bad, right and wrong. It occupies a remarkable position among the other disciplines because of its significant subject and high principle. The noble traits are the only means that achieves the high senses of humanity and perfection. The bad manners, on the other hand, deform man and line him up with beasts.
Not only do moralities have influence on individuals, but also they creep into nations to reflect their modes of life and levels of development or retraction. Many historical events have proved that moral corruption has been the destructive axe that ruined civilizations.
As a proof of the significance of morality is that Prophet Mohammed (s) [1] considered morality as the aim of his Divine mission: He (a) said:
�I was appointed for prophethood so that I may accomplish moral perfection. �
This is the very purpose at which ethics aims through its regulations and standards that discipline the individuals� consciences, rectify their moralities, and guide to the reputable conduct and ideal behavior.
The most important problem of the Islamic world
Introduction
Palestine remains a burning issue for the Muslims of the world and from the beginning of the Islamic Revolution in Iran to the present time, the leadership of the Islamic Republic of Iran has emphasized the centrality of the Palestinian issue for the Muslim world.
Even prior to the Islamic Revolution, Palestine and the great injustice that was committed against the Palestinian people was a central theme in the revolutionary movement led by Imam Khomeini (r. a. ).
This tradition continues with the current Supreme Leadership of Iran, Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei who over the course of more than two decades has clearly explained and analyzed the issue of Palestine for the Islamic Ummah.
This book is a brief collection of some of Ayatollah Khamenei’s statements about Palestine.

Foreword
This booklet was originally published by the Muslim Youth Association in the United Kingdom. Since our first publication of 5,000 copies was received with great enthusiasm by the readers, the response has encouraged us to re-publish the same for wider circulation. We hope that wider circulation of this booklet would help the cause of Islam and help realise the goal set by this group.
The basic concepts of Islam are the existence of God, prophethood and the Hereafter. They are the foundation of the Islamic culture. The comprehension of these fundamental concepts is the primary condition for achieving the Islamic culture in practice. The second condition is the belief in these concepts. The firm conviction which generates lively emotions and sentiments moulded in the Islamic shape. This type of belief which generates rich sentiments would define the way of thinking, like, dislike, and finally behaviour of people. When the Islamic basic concepts are understood and believed, then it is expected to have the culture and civilisation of Islam into real life. But when they are not perceived as the case with Muslims today, the Islamic. life should not be expected. We should simply try to facilitate the ways and means to study these thoughts, and see their logic and credibility. If Muslims cared to give this vital points some attention, then a tremendous change in the lives of Muslims might be witnessed within a short time.
This booklet is a small attempt to simplify this task for our young Muslim brothers. The esteemed author has kindly devoted valuable time to write this booklet. We aspire that it will fill part of the cultural vacuum existing throughout the world.

Introduction
PUBLISHER'S NOTE
On the eve of 5th victorious anniversary of the glorious Islamic Revolution of Iran, and having gone through five years of struggles and achievements, we are witnessing great triumphs over all the colonizing plots of both eastern and western Superpowers and their mercenary agents, and are celebrating the Ten Days Dawn in a most splendid manner. The revolutionary Moslem people of Iran have triumphantly smashed down all the obstacles and bore all the problems imposed upon them by the criminal big powers which wanted to weaken and break down the Islamic Revolution. The revolutionary Islamic nation continues to resist like a firm mountain inspite of suffering the loss of so many martyrs in various scenes of combat imposed by stubborn murderous enemies of the Revolution. The committed Iranian people steadfastly follow their reviving Islamic way-the way which has now become a model for all Moslems and oppressed nations and have created an Era of Spirituality that has severely terrified the arrogant world powers. This year, just as the preceding years, the Council for Ten Days Dawn Celebrations, on this auspicious occasion and for the purpose of presenting a lucid portrait of the Islamic Revolution and its Islamic and political lines, offers a number of books and pamphlets in various languages to the dear readers. The present book-pamphlet is one of the said works and is offered to all whom it may interest and concern. We convey best wishes for the final victory of Islamic and Moslems in all arenas and forecast an ultimate defeat of the sinister international powers, while we pray for liberation of all oppressed and dominated peoples.
