One of the reasons why people protest against the Islamic Republic

In the latest issue of Mohammad Reza Zaeri's "Khiimeh Monthly," a note titled "Astronomical Envelopes" was published about the details of the brand's contracts with its praisers. The note reveals details of the "receipts of the praisers" as well as their controversial contracts.

In Iran, eulogists are divided into three categories:

The first group are amateur and seasonal preachers who take up the microphone every year during Muharram. The second group are semi-professional preachers who have local fame. The third group are professional preachers who earn an unusual price range from 3 million tomans per night to 60 million tomans per night. However, these professional preachers who are brand and super brand preachers have other agreements with the owners of the delegations, in addition to the financial contract.

In 2015, news broke that a famous eulogist was paid 600 million Tomans. This news was not denied by Mehdi Fatemi (Deputy Coordinator and Planning Officer of the House of Eulogists). Also, none of the famous eulogists were willing to provide a price in telephone interviews with the Faraz website without a familiar intermediary.

Mohammad Reza Zaeri (a cleric and university lecturer) had also previously said that a Mazandaran capitalist takes a famous eulogist to Mazandaran every year and in one year, for a decade of Muharram, he paid the eulogist a villa worth nearly 700 million tomans as a gift. Also, in 2018, a journalist wrote on his Twitter that "Javad Moghaddam" received one billion tomans, or 100 million per night, from famous eulogists for every eulogist's night at the strange hall of Medina Amirkola.

 Mohammad Hossein Belak, Director General of Khuzestan Islamic Propaganda, says: 7,500 official and home-based Hussainiyyah have been identified in the province, and the turnover of these religious groups in the first decade of Muharram is about 100 billion tomans.

 (Khorna News Agency - September 13, 2018) wrote: This statistic has now increased due to the average inflation, and it should not be forgotten that the amounts are higher than the statistics given.

In addition to these amounts, the amounts given to the Astan Quds Razavi, the two shrines of the Imams, and the Imamzadehs are an astronomical amount that can be used to build the cities of Iran. While different countries were moving forward with different solutions during the Corona era, the delegations emphasized holding meetings. Why? The reason is quite clear.

These sums are just a few of the lavish spending by individuals affiliated with the Islamic Republic government, which has ruled Iran for years in the name of religion. The receipt of these astronomical sums comes at a time when, for example, ILNA wrote in a news report on (December 18, 2016):

Hamid, an 11-year-old from southern Kerman, writes this letter without any address, hoping that the adults he thinks are important and have come to his remote village from afar in heavy white pickup trucks will help him. After all, they say that these travelers came from Tehran, where the elders of the village say is the capital of the country and where all the officials and important people live. The boy has such a toothache and so much desires to study at school that he writes a letter, apart from his family, for the important travelers to take to the officials and very important people of the country, so that perhaps someone can cure his toothache, which is holding his whole being captive to an unbridled suffering. There are many people like Hamid in Iran.

On the one hand, there is the problem of taking money from the eulogists, and on the other hand, there is the problem of not reaching the disadvantaged people.

 The main pain of the people is that many of these same eulogists are against the people in the recent protests and instead of standing on the right front, they are standing against the suffering nation of Iran. On October 1, 1401, the famous eulogists Mehdi Rasouli, Seyyed Yousef Shabbiri, and Jalil Mohammadi, with a group in Zanjan, recited elegy and praise against the people and supported the Islamic Republic. Many of them appeared in the role of leaders of the oppressors.

This is one of the smallest reasons why the eyes of the Iranian people have been opened today and they are directly protesting the essence of this system. A system that came to Iran with the promise of free water and electricity, colorful food, and religious promises, but every day lies, hypocrisy, and deceit have replaced its original message.

"It is impossible to silence the voices of those seeking justice with bullets and batons."
