Dear readers,

First, we would like to extend our heart-felt greetings to you on the auspicious occasion of the birth anniversary of Hazrat Fatimeh (SA). This year, the Muslim Iranian people celebrate this most blessed day while also celebrating the Ten days leading to the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran on Bahman 22, 1357, forty two years ago (1979 AD). No doubt, this Islamic Revolution led by a divinely-guided man, Imam Khomeini (ra) and being based upon Qur’anic decrees and values, including justice, human freedom and human dignity belongs to all truth-seeking, justice-loving human beings and world nations, as we observe, they express their love and respect for the late leader of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Khomeini (ra) and for his successor, Ayatollah Khamenei and for the martyred Iranian general – Haaj Qasem Soleimani, who, as the esteemed leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, stressed, has become ‘the hero of the Iranian nation as well as the hero of the Islamic Ummah.’

No doubt, such men of God have educated themselves in the school of Divine faith and teachings and acted upon the same faithfully. They have set the most brilliant examples of Godliness in every respect and so we should consider ourselves duty-bound to follow in their footsteps and also to teach our children to, like these excellent models of piety, honour, and dignity, follow the Holy Qur’an and the teachings of the Infallible Imams (AS) and to avoid turning to what the enemies of God propagate through the mass media.

Let us pray to Allah to guide our women and girls to follow Hazrat Fatimeh (SA) and also to guide our men and boys to follow her father, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), and her husband, Imam Ali (AS).
