The Basij is a blessed tree, a strong and fruitful one, whose blossoms exude the fragrance of the spring of union, the freshness of certainty, and the discourse of love. Happy Basij Week.

The name of Basij evokes the memory of our most cherished institution and the greatest men in our history. An institution whose formation, in the words of Imam Khomeini, "was certainly among the blessings and manifest graces of God Almighty," and "is a blessed tree, a strong and fruitful tree whose blossoms give the fragrance of the spring of union, the freshness of certainty, and the discourse of love."
