From Pedram Moallemian:
Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.
From Chapter 2 of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi's "Toward the Great
Civilization" (1977):
Religious beliefs constitute the essence of spiritual life of every
society , for without such a firm backing a society , however advanced
it may be in respect of material comfort , will only lead a bewildered
and aimless existence . True faith is the greatest guarantee of spiritual
health and moral perseverance and the most powerful mainstay of every humanbeing
in facing life problems , great or small , and at the same time the surest
moral guardian of every society.
Our people enjoys the blessing of living under the banner of the most
progressive and elevated religious principles , namely those of the sacred
faith of Islam . This faith , whose sublime teachings and principles embrace
the most perfect material and spiritual advancement of mankind , can be
the highest guide to individuals and to society at every stage of social
evolution . The pride and the secret and the complete success of our revolution
lie in this very fact that the principles of this revolution are throughout
inspired by the spirit and essence of the exalted teachings of Islam...
