Fash News - The brave and proud Islamic Guardsman, Martyr Abolfazl Ebdam, is among the first martyrs of the 12-Day War. He was the brother of Martyr Nasser Ebdam, the first martyr of the country's command of good and forbidding evil, and the bodyguard of the General of the Guards, Major General Hossein Salami, the martyr commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps. In the first minutes of the 12-Day War, in an airstrike by the usurper, infanticide, and Zionist terrorist regime on the morning of June 14, 1404, on the headquarters of the Guards, along with General Salami and a number of the general's bodyguards and colleagues, while carrying out a sensitive mission to protect the security of the nation and the country, he was martyred and became "grateful to their Lord." His brother, Martyr Nasser Ebdam, is a leading student of the school of Aba Abdullah Al-Hussein, who is known as the "first martyr of the country's command of good and forbidding evil." Martyr Nasser Ebdam had a strong zeal for hijab and chastity; He had complete and perfect adherence to enjoining good and forbidding evil, and he did not compromise with anyone in enjoining good and forbidding evil; defending the oppressed and the insulted was his usual practice; he had an active, passionate, and humble presence in the mosque, the assembly, and the Basij, and he only cried during the mourning of Imam Hussein (AS), and he cried so much that everyone present in the assembly and the Hussainiyah was affected, and he never cried otherwise. Finally, Nasser Ebdam was martyred on the way to Friday prayers and in the path of enjoining good and forbidding evil with the body of Arbaarba on September 20, 1980. The story of his martyrdom was as follows: Nasser gave a respectful verbal warning to a thug who had harassed a woman in Laleh Park, Tehran. When he gives a warning, he is slapped very badly and a fight breaks out, during which the other side takes out a dagger and immediately stabs Nasser in the heart. He stabs and stabs Nasser seven times, and each time a part of Nasser's body comes out and he is martyred on the way to the hospital. In the very first days after Nasser Ebdam's martyrdom, the martyr's father, along with Ayatollah Jannati, goes to meet the wise leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Khamenei, and the leader mentions Martyr Ebdam for the first time as the country's first martyr of enjoining good and forbidding evil. Martyr Ebdam's mother took her children to the mosque from the very beginning and raised them at the shrine of Imam Hussein (AS). In this way, they all became Husseinis by nature and were raised and educated. Martyr Ebdam's father is a living martyr and a non-violent fighter in every sense of the word. From 1961 until the end of the imposed war, he went to the front continuously and was seriously injured several times and is still living with the terrible consequences. He is a 50% veteran of the imposed war whose body is full of shrapnel. In February 2012, the Javan newspaper published a report from an interview with the family of martyr Abdam. In that interview, in response to the question, “What effect did his (martyr Nasser Abdam’s) martyrdom have on your life?”, Agha Abolfazl noted: “It had a great effect. After all, we are the rations of these martyrs. If it weren’t for the martyrs, our work would be miserable. In my own life, I got into bad situations once or twice and ended up in a dead end, and thanks to the soul of the martyr, I was saved.” And in response to the question, “Now that they understand that you are the brother of the martyr, will others treat you differently?”, he stated: “It should be different, but we should also behave in a way that makes the martyr prouder. After all, as a member of the martyr's family, should my words, actions, and behavior be different from those of an ordinary family? Yes, living a martyr's life and being the standard-bearer of the martyr's brother were the distinctive and distinguished characteristics of Martyr Abolfazl Abdam, and everyone who knew him confirms this fact. In this report, we pay tribute to Martyr Abolfazl Abdam and review a selection of explanations and memories of his family and friends. The Abdam family, a symbol of patience and insight On July 25, 1404, thousands of revolutionary people and always on the scene in Baharestan County, Tehran Province, buried the holy body of Martyr Abolfazl Abdam with exemplary splendor. The ceremony began from the great mosque of Hazrat Saheb-ul-Zaman (a.s.) in Golestan and was escorted to the front of the martyr's house. Then, the martyr's body was transferred to Behesht Zahra for burial. Hojjatoleslam Seyyed Sajjad Mousavi, the Imam of Golestan Friday Prayer in Baharestan, while offering condolences to the martyr's family, said: "The Abdam family is a symbol of patience, insight, and loyalty to the values of Islam and the revolution." Martyr Nasser Abdam was martyred in the duty of promoting the good, and today Abolfazl sacrificed his life in defense of the resistance front. Also, Agha Mohammad Javad, the eldest son of Martyr Abolfazl Abdam, in an interview with a Pana reporter at the funeral, proudly and firmly stated: "I am Mohammad Javad Abdam, the son of Martyr Abolfazl Abdam. God willing, he was a very knowledgeable and kind man. Now that you see he has become a martyr and is one of the most heroic men in the world. Israel and America, you two will be razed to the ground." The sincerity and extensive jihadi and anonymous activities of a jihadi cleric who is a friend of martyr Abolfazl Ebdam, in an interview with a Pana reporter at the funeral ceremony, said about the sincerity and extensive jihadi and anonymous activities of the martyr: In the past year that I have known and known martyr Abdam, one characteristic that is very striking and caught my attention is that in the many things that he did and worked a lot in cultural and jihadi discussions, he never sought to put himself forward. He never [sought to] be in the spotlight, to highlight his name and tradition in some way, and he always ran away from cameras, photos, and films, etc.; so much so that if you look around the city now, only one three-by-four photo of him has been published, even though he was involved in all the jihadi activities, processions, and cultural programs, but no photo has ever been taken of him, because he did not seek this. His sincerity, his anonymity, is an issue that should be a life lesson for all of us. The relationship between a father and son with General Salami has been broadcast on Sima Channel 1 for some time. Lalekhiz is a narrative of the Second Imposed War (the Zionist regime’s attacks on Iran), a 12-day war that resulted in the martyrdom of a number of military officials, nuclear scientists, and ordinary people, including the children of our country. On July 19, 1404, the family of martyr Abolfazl Abdam appeared on the Lalekhiz program and spoke about the manners and character of martyr Abolfazl Abdam. An excerpt from the words of Ms. Zeinab Abdam, the sister of martyrs Nasser and Abolfazl Abdam, on the Lalekhiz program is as follows: We are four sisters, two brothers, two of whom were also martyred. Abolfazl was five years old when Abbas [martyr Nasser Abdam was called Ghulam Abbas or Abbas in the house] was martyred. Abolfazl loved to recite the Ta’ziyyah. He would come and take my mother's veil, take the clothes for the Ta'ziyeh reciters and sing, when he was five or six years old. There was a lot of Ta'ziyeh reciters in our area. There was a Ta'ziyeh reciter right on our alley. We lived above the bridge, the Ta'ziyeh reciters were below the bridge. His red line from the very beginning was my mother. He was overly dependent on my mother, very much. My mother is also not at all calm and peaceful now, my mother. Now no one can calm my mother. Everyone comes through the door, he says get in the car, take me to Abolfazl. Mr. Abolfazl was born in 1986, he would have been 39 years old. Their job was to be the bodyguard of the martyred General Salami and they were martyred alongside the General. They were so close to each other with Sardar Salami that everyone looked at them from afar, as if they were father and son. They were that close to each other. My father is still alive. Agha Mohammad Javad, the eldest son of martyr Abolfazl Abdam, said on the Tulip program while constantly shedding tears and his small face was covered in tears: I loved my father more than a world. My father was a man who could not be replaced by a world. He changed it. He always had a saying wherever he went. Wherever he went or someone called him, he would say: Haji, pray that we become martyrs. My father's red line was like this: Don't bother your mother; I heard your mother, you bothered me, I have a fine for you. I had seen my father two weeks before his martyrdom. When my exams were over, we went to the city. One day, it was 9 am, and I saw my mother (my grandmother) sitting on the sofa, turning on the TV. I saw Sardar Salami, these were martyred. My mother (the mother of the martyrs of Abdam) was crying, He was a very kind and good person. He was sensitive about the hijab. Why shouldn't I be proud of him, when he was a martyr? Why shouldn't I be proud... Of course, my father is still alive... I miss him a lot at night. He came to me in my dreams once. It was as if he was in the garden. On one side was my uncle's photo, on the other side was my father's photo. When I saw it, I woke up quickly. I calmed down, it had a different feeling. I also saw my father's body. It was a body with an Iranian flag; you could go within 10 kilometers of the body, and you would calm down. The body was one of a kind. I used to see Sardar Salami a lot. He was very kind, too much. He came to our house. We played with each other. We talked with each other, we laughed. Before the Zionist regime attacked Iran, I saw the children of Gaza, and my heart would boil. I would feel the same way. I would say: An infant child, why should he go underground. When I saw it, I realized that Iran will 100% raze Israel to the ground. Even though they announced a ceasefire, they are going to strike again, that's for sure; our enmity with Israel will not end, we will not rest until we raze them to the ground. Although I didn't see my father much, because he was on a lot of shifts, I saw him very little, but he was worth a world. Laying the final stone for the martyrs A selection of the talks by Mrs. Zahra Hemmati, the wife of martyr Abolfazl Abdam, on the Lalekhiz program is as follows: We lived together with Mr. Abolfazl for 15 years. He was my cousin. [As a child] we played together. I was a servant of the city. Mr. Abolfazl was a child of Tehran, a child of Fallah. He usually came to our house in the middle of the summer. After a while, when he grew up and I grew up, there was a limit and a boundary in our families that as a family grows, we no longer went together, even to greet each other. Until it came to the stage of marriage proposal. First, their mother and father came. Abolfazl was in military training. One day I saw them come with their mother and father. Then I went to them to greet them. I saw how different it was from when they were children. I hadn't seen him in years. How handsome and beautiful he had become. How tall he was. They say I really fell in love with him wholeheartedly, not halfheartedly. We got married. They were so busy with their jobs and work that they weren't home much. Even when they were home, they did a lot of jihadi work locally. Field work, base work. Abolfazl's greatest work was getting memorials. They got a lot of memorials for martyrs. They put in energy, they put in time, not only in the local area and Tehran, but they went to the most remote towns to get memorials. They would set a table in our house, let's get memorials. They would say: Zahra, when we get memorials at home, everything should be perfect. Nothing is disposable. Let's not eat outside. The food must be homemade food. The table must be our table. The dishes must be our own dishes. Let's leave a lasting legacy for the martyrs. In general, words were words of martyrdom; actions were actions of martyrdom. All his deeds, all his deeds... [In response to the question that Abolfazl was with the martyr Sardar Hossein Salami, who was on the enemy's assassination list for years and his work was very dangerous. What were you doing with all these worries during these years:] If I say that I was not worried at all, you would believe me. I was not worried at all. As much as I loved Abolfazl himself, I loved his job [guarding] a thousand times more. I loved Abolfazl's job very much. It was a sacred job. What are we striving for in this world? Are we striving for something other than our hereafter? Why should I be worried? They were mostly looking at me. I thought they were looking at me, saying, "I want to be a martyr." They would put their foreheads on the seal, laughing and say, "Oh God, I want to be martyred." I said: Mr. Abolfazl, do you know why you don't become a martyr? Because you say it with a laugh. He said: Oh, how do you know that you should cry, become a martyr? He said that God will hold my hand with a laugh, I will draw feathers. At that time, you will know that God does not accept everything with tears, He accepts it with a laugh. One day, they said to each other that they did not like to have the caption "The head of the security team of Hajj Agha Salami was martyred, Abdam was martyred." I would like them to say that he drew feathers with himself. When I went to the ascension, I was very jealous of Abolfazl's condition, very much. Another memory that was between myself and them was that I made a suggestion, I said: Mr. Abolfazl, when everyone is holding all these wedding rings tightly and tightly, as a souvenir, a memento, why do they keep them? Can I make a suggestion? They said: Come on. I said: I would like to take our rings and throw one of them in the shrine of Hazrat Abal-Fazl, and the other in the shrine of Hazrat Imam Hussain (a.s.). He said: Well done, how good your suggestion is. Where else would we want to spend our money, our rings, that would be more valuable than here? Unfortunately, the time did not allow us to take them together. They entrusted me with giving our rings to Hazrat Bab-ul-Hawaij Abal-Fazl and Imam Hussain to keep for us. In that world, we will throw our hands, and we will throw each other's fingers again. God willing, we will do this. The events of the last meeting and martyrdom were on Wednesday night, and as usual, he was looking after the work of a memorial in Khalkhal city. At night, they came to the house with the gentleman who had a meeting. They said that I had to leave early tomorrow morning. I should take a shower and sleep so that I could go to work early tomorrow morning. They usually left at three in the morning. I always saw him coming and going from his office. They would open the door at night, come in, and leave at night. It was 3 a.m. on Thursday morning, and I saw them leaving. They quietly said, "Goodbye." They didn't turn on the lights or wake us up. I said, "God bless you." They left as usual. On Thursday night, Hajjaja Salami gave a live speech. Alireza [the martyr's youngest son] always saw Hajjaja Salami, sitting in front of the TV, wanting to show my father. Alireza sat for a long time, then looked again. He didn't show his father. I called him. I said, "Where are you?" Aren't you with Hajjaja? Alireza really wants to see you. He said, "No, tell Alireza that I'm going to take Haji to Friday prayers in the morning, tell him to meet me there." Then they said goodbye, and that was it. That was our last goodbye. [Friday morning], Mohammad Javad was in the city with his grandparents. Alireza and I were asleep. My sister called very early in the morning. I was very scared why my sister called so soon. They said: You know, they killed Sardar Salami. I opened my eyes at once, because they usually came quietly, Mr. Abolfazl, they hung the switch from the key ring. I looked there and there was no switch. Abolfazl had not come. When he came, he would go and sleep in a separate room so that we wouldn’t wake up. I saw that their switch was missing. Then I hit my head with two hands. I said, “What do you mean, they killed Haj Agha Salami?” He said: “Yes, he was martyred, don’t you know?” And then, I understood right there. Because Abolfazl himself said that I wanted to draw feathers with him. I called their friend Mr. Alikhani. I said: You said all this that we are at your service, we will do whatever you say, will you really do something if I tell you now? He said: Come on. I said: Take me to Abolfazl. He said: Look. When I reached the ascension, I saw all of Abolfazl's friends, the children of the mosque, the members of the delegation, all of them were there. When I saw his body, I calmed down. You see, from Friday morning until night, I used to say to God in my solitude: Death, God, I want death too. But when I saw his body, I felt a very special peace. Because I didn't see Abolfazl, I saw an angel. You see, Mr. Abolfazl had a wound on his face. When I sat on his right side, his right side was hard. When I saw the wound, I wanted to touch these wounds. These wounds were very beautiful, very handsome. [Martyr Abolfazl Abdam] They always told me that I went too far above the martyr. Zahra, why do you think the martyrs laugh? I said: I don't see it, you see it, ask someone why. He said: I asked many people. They say: They see Imam Hussein, they see Hazrat Abal-Fazl, in the last moments, they laugh. His left side had a strange laugh, it was different from his right side.|| Kamran Pour-Abbas
