Karamat Ten-Day celebrations’ slogan originates from deep civilizational perspective, analysis of Imam’s role

Selection of the slogan of this year’s Karamat Ten-Day celebrations as "Iran of Imam Reza (AS): United, Powerful, Victorious" stems from a deep civilizational perspective and a thorough analysis of Imam's role in guiding society, writes Abdolhamid Talebi, head of the Scientific and Cultural Organization of Astan Qods Razavi, in an analytical note explaining foundations of the slogan.

Talebi mentioned: “Karamat Ten-Day festivities for 2026 is more than a special religious occasion; it embodies the glory and resilience of a nation that has rediscovered its identity under Imam Reza’s (AS) Vilayat”.
He stressed: “Imam Reza (AS) describes the Imam as the “Nizam al-Din” meaning one who brings order and coherence to religion and, consequently, to society. If our Iran is recognized as a "united" and "powerful" anchor amid global turbulences, it is due to this very order, the axis of which is Willayat”.

Elsewhere in his note, Talebi writes that “This slogan consists of three fundamental pillars, each meaningful in light of blessings of Imam's presence in the society:
1. Unity: Imam (AS) is the source of honor and cohesion. Relying on the concept of "Iran of Imam Reza (AS)”, Iranian nation transcends differences of opinion to unite around the axis of Vilayat. This unity is the strong wall that has driven the enemy to desperation.
2. Authority: Our power is not merely in equipment but in inseparable spirit that springs from connection with the Imam (AS). At a time when ill-wishers sought to weaken national resolve, our Iran, became a model of intelligent resistance, through wise leadership and steadfast presence of its people.
3. Victory: Victory is the destiny of a nation that sees Imam (AS) as "a kind father and a sympathetic friend" beside them. Our people have shown that path to modern Islamic civilization passes through the road of unity and power”.
Head of Scientific and Cultural Organization stated: “It is duty of all preachers, artists, and cultural servants to depict glorious image of Iran blessed by the name of Imam Reza (AS). Iran of Imam Reza (AS) is now a clear symbol of God's promise of victory of truth over falsehood”.
Concluding his analytical note, Talebi mentioned: “All phrases of the slogan of "Iran of Imam Reza (AS); United, Powerful, Victorious" derive from statements by the late Leader of the Islamic Revolution as he someday said that “Iran, Iran belongs to Imam Reza". In his third speech after the 12-day war, he also emphasized the terms 'united, powerful, and victorious' regarding dear Iran”.
