Why was Raeisi popular among Iranian people?

Pars Today- According to an analyst, Ayatollah Raeisi was popular among people. He was neither a man of irony, nor would he squabble, nor became an opposition figure, nor used to threaten a political rival.

One: Within a short period, Ayatollah Raeisi so frequently visited different regions of Iran to pursue the affairs that people of various provinces are speaking of the martyred president in this way, "As if it was yesterday that he had come." The reason for people's missing him is that they had felt him near themselves several times. In the days of the coronavirus climax, when he went to hospitals and pharmacies, people felt they could see him from near. Therefore, it is quite natural, that the Iranian nation should miss him so much and be sad for this constantly accompanying acquaintance.

Two: Ayatollah Raeisi was popular among people. He was neither a man of irony, nor would he squabble, nor became an opposition figure, nor used to threaten a political rival, nor would he make people worried. Well, such an unobtrusive and Godwary person surely becomes popular and he became so.

Three: The day in which Ayatollah Raeisi became the custodian of Imam Reza's shrine, he created a spiritual fervor among people; and the day in which he took part in the 2017 presidential election, despite being defeated, again he created the fervor of tendency to values and religiosity among people. When he worked as the judiciary chief, again his activities created religious asset, and in 2021, too, when he was the victor of the presidential election, he increased the fervor of religiosity and idealism. It is a God-seeking inward which can create a wave of religiosity and tendency to values in society in three seemingly differing fields: from custodianship of Imam Reza's shrine and judgment to the field of politics.

Four: Although Ayatollah Raeisi has apparently left us, his great victory was strengthening of the government of the Islamic Republic's feeling of rendering service to and being people's servant which became fixed and deeper thanks to the blessing of his martyrdom. The martyr's blood always acts opposite the enemy and can disturb the multi-dollar plotting of media and economic war aiming at changing the Iranian people's feeling and calculations. If the martyrdom of Haj Qassem [Soleimani] revived the might and social asset of the Islamic Republic, the martyrdom of Ayatollah Raeisi was another step, namely, strengthening of the feeling of people's trust in and optimism to the presidential institution's servitude for them and the government in the Islamic Republic system.
