The Most Righteous MP from Supreme Leader’s Viewpoint

A) Importance of choosing the most righteous MP

Choosing the most righteous MP is a duty

As the principle of elections is a divine duty, choosing the most righteous MP is also a divine duty.

Look for and find the most righteous person. (11.05.2009)

Some persons are righteous, some are more righteous, look for, identify and find the more righteous one and vote for him/her. (20.05.1997)

Choosing the most righteous one shall have proof

You shall search and find a proof between you and God. That is, you have to be able to go from a way that if Almighty God asked you why you voted for him, you could provide an answer. (20.05.1997)

Identifying the most righteous person is an art

Those people whose authority is announced by the Guardian Council, this means that those who have the minimum required qualification. The art of Iranian nation and people of different cities and vote poles is to care, look, and identify the most righteous and to choose the best person. (31.01.2008)

The canonical duty

Elections is a duty, elections is a big job and it is a canonical and divine effort. Look for and find the qualified persons for this important job. (01.02.2009)

The best person is the one who understand the country’s problem, the one who knows people’s problem. (11.05.2009)

To be away from aristocracy

He/she shall be away from corruption, does not follow his/her aristocracy. Our major problem is aristocracy and luxury. (11.05.2009)

Having clear boundaries with enemy

The righteous candidate is one who has clear boundaries with enemy. Otherwise, that candidate will not be a good one. Some have the enemy’s consideration; they shall have the nation’s consideration, they shall have consideration of God. Enemy is enemy, whether we have its consideration or not. The more you withdraw, he comes forward. Those candidates whose boundaries are not clear with enemy and his affiliates are not righteous to enter the Assembly. (12.03.2008)

Religious and revolutionary criteria instead of ethnic and tribal relations

People have a duty to look at the religious and canonical and revolutionary criteria, not to see ethnic and family and tribal relationships and such that. They shall see who really has more appropriate divine and revolutionary criteria and is closer to them and then choose that person. (02.02.1996)

Trustee, efficiency, and sympathy

We shall look for and find the most righteous person; we shall look for and choose the most dependable one. (03.03.1998)

People want sympathetic, efficient, and dependable people take the responsibility. (14.11.2004)

Concerning religion and world of people

Have tendency to a person who cares about people’s religion, revolution, life, future, and honor. (14.06.2005)

Who is the most righteous person? This is the one who has a serious tendency to eradication of poverty and corruption; that is, the one who has sympathy for the disadvantaged and oppressed people. The most righteous person is one who thinks about the promotion and development of the country and economic and non-economic development, and does not stagger against the related illusions to development so that he becomes unaware from oppressed and poor people. The most righteous person is one who thinks about people’s life, religion, culture, world, and the hereafter. (06.05.2005)

Try to choose the faithful and devoted people in elections. If there is no faith, worthiness and efficiency will not work. If a person who is more worthy does not have faith, the more he steals and is harmful. If he has faith, his merit and competency and efficiency are also useful for people. (06.03.2002)

If there was virtue but no bravery, people who have virtue might not act when it is needed and they might not say anything when they have to. (08.01.2002)
