In The Name of God The Compassionate The Merciful
Throughout the history of the Islamic Republic of Iran, women have invariably been pioneers in making self-sacrifice and playing a brilliant role in bringing the Islamic Revolution to fruition. Moreover, they have of-fered many martyrs in this sacred path and patiently tolerated years of separation from their men who were living in captivity as prisoners of war. Thus, their part in protecting the independence and honor of the country has been great and praiseworthy.
The Role of Women in the Sacred Defence
Imam Khomeini said about the role of Iranian women in the sacred defense: “Victori-ous and glorified be the Islamic Movement of the great Iranian women. How honorable is this magnificent class of society who, through their worthy and coura-geous presence at the scene of the defense brought victory to the Islamic homeland, the Holy Qur’an, and the Revolution and who are now active and ready for self-sacrifice both at the war-fronts and behind the warfronts.
Martyr Bint al-Huda Sadr, the Herald of Awakening
Martyr Bint al-Huda Sadr (1938 - 1980), Seyyed Heidar Sadr’s daugh-ter and martyr Ayatollah Seyyed Muhammad Baqir Sadr’s sister, was born in the holy city of Kazimayn.
The Tasks and Duties of Women in the Islamic Society
Some analysts consider women as a half of society, and others say that she is the partner of the man and they also said of her the beauty and the joy of living.
Women of Courage
Following in the footsteps of the messen-ger of the school of ‘Ashura, Hazrat Zeinab (sa), Iranian women created unforgettable historic epics in the course of the Iraqi im-posed war. They bravely supported their men and took pride in having self-sacrificing children. Those women have been the sym-bols of the love of martyrdom, believed in re-sistance to the last moment, and proved Iran to be the land of self-sacrifice, resistance, and martyrdom.
