Hawzah News Agency- Hojatoleslam Seyyed Abolhassan Fatemi, the representative of the Supreme Leader in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, spoke today at the ceremony welcoming the pure bodies of six unidentified martyrs in Shahrekord. Referring to the historical and spiritual status of the Imamzadehs Halimeh Khatoun and Hakimeh Khatoun, he stated: "This sacred place has for hundreds of years been recognized as a center of light and grace, a meeting place for the faithful and a site for renewing their covenant with the Household of Infallibility and Purity, and has always been a refuge for the people of this city and region."
Hojatoleslam Fatemi added: "Today this luminous place hosts dear guests, and the people, with love for the martyrs, have gathered in this noble place to pay their respects to their sacred presence and to renew their covenant and pledge with the ideals of the martyrs."
The Friday Prayer Imam of Shahrekord, stating that God has blended the love and guardianship of the Household of Infallibility and Purity with the name of the Iranian nation, emphasized: "The martyrs whose pure bodies are present among us today attained the station of martyrdom in the path of beloved Islam and the Household of Infallibility and Purity."
Hojatoleslam Fatemi, referring to the beginning of the imposed war by the Ba'athist regime of Iraq, said: "The day Saddam, out of fear of the spread of the Islamic Revolution in his country and with the illusion of easy victory, attacked the ancient soil of Iran, he could not even dream that he and his masters would gain nothing but humiliation and disgrace."
The temporary Friday Prayer Imam continued: "Saddam, with arrogance, pride, and conceit, and with his boots, attacked the Iran of the Master of the Age, the Iran of Imam Sadiq (AS), and the Iran of Imam Hussein (AS); but he was heedless of the children of this land; youths, adolescents, the elderly, and various segments of society who had been raised in the laps of mothers whose lullabies were mixed with love for Imam Hussein (AS) and devotion to Hazrat Zahra (SA)."
The representative of the Supreme Leader in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, stating that the Iranian nation had learned the lessons of martyrdom, resistance, and steadfastness in the gatherings of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS), noted: "This aggression descended like a thunderbolt upon the enemy's head, Saddam's victories were halted, and the children of the land of Iran pushed back the invading Iraqi forces and, by the grace and power of God, defended the soil of Islamic Iran."
Hojatoleslam Fatemi emphasized: "The warriors of Islam did not only defend the country's soil, but also safeguarded the system arising from beloved Islam and the Twelver Shia school; therefore, the martyrs are the medals of honor of the Iranian nation, and the people take pride in these distinguished branches."
The representative of Iran’s Supreme Leader in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, expressing gratitude to the mothers and fathers of the martyrs, said: "One must kiss the laps and veils of the mothers who raised such distinguished children, and bow in reverence before the fathers and mothers who offered these brave youths to Islam and Iran."
The Friday Prayer Imam of Shahrekord, emphasizing the bond between national and religious identity in the culture of sacrifice and martyrdom, stated: "The fate of Islam and the Shia faith is tied to Islamic Iran; therefore, those who were martyred in this path are both martyrs of the homeland, martyrs of Islam and the Quran, and martyrs of guardianship and the Household of Infallibility and Purity (AS)."
Hojatoleslam Fatemi, referring to the continuation of the Iranian nation's spirit of resistance against the threats of America and the Zionist regime, said: "The lesson that the Iranian nation taught Saddam and his supporters with empty hands, unfortunately, was not a lesson for America and the usurping, bloodthirsty Zionist regime; they could never have predicted such a level of resistance."
The Friday Prayer Imam of Shahrekord added: "Today, too, the Iranian nation faces a bullying and reckless superpower and stands with the same spirit of resistance and steadfastness. The country's soldiers, with readiness and precise surveillance, monitor the enemy's movements moment by moment, and the zealous Iranian nation, in any attire, position, and age, strives to maintain its presence on the scene and not leave the streets empty."
The representative of the Supreme Leader in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, stating that the enemy faces difficult conditions in the face of this cohesion and popular presence, noted: "Of course, the enemy's threats should not be ignored, and one must be prepared to confront them and take matters seriously; but alongside that, we must increase our readiness, vigilance, grandeur, and steadfastness, and show the manliness, unity, and solidarity of the nation to the world."
Hojatoleslam Fatemi, referring to the days of Fatimiyya, described Hazrat Fatima Zahra (SA) as the mother of Imamate and guardianship and the mother of Hazrat Baqiyatullah al-A'zam (AS) and stated: "In these days, we extend our empty hands toward the pure lap of this great lady and ask her to continue to embrace the Iranian nation with her maternal care and support."
The Friday Prayer Imam of Shahrekord, referring to the role of supplication and reliance on God in the path of the Islamic Revolution, said: "Our great Imam, the day he stepped into this arena, and our martyred Imam, when he courageously took the banner of the revolution upon his shoulders, moved with reliance on God and supplication to Hazrat Fatima Zahra (SA), and we too must remain steadfast in fulfilling our duty, expressing devotion, guardianship, and loyalty."
