We are heading to the funeral ceremony of martyr Sardar Ismail Mehrara, where the air of the city is permeated with the fragrance of tulips sleeping in the blood of the homeland. These are the same young people who, for the good name of this border and land, laid down their dear lives in an eternal and eternal deal with God. Among these celestials, Sardar Mehrara stands; someone whose stature was a symbol of resistance and whose entire life was concerned with the pride of the nation that had been entrusted to him. His home was the refuge of love and now, their hearts are beating in holy sorrow.
This farewell was not the farewell of a family, it was the farewell of a nation. The martyr's wife, Faezeh Dolatkhah; she is a mother whose two eyes (Mehla and Mahyar) are looking for the shadow of a father who will no longer be on their heads. But in this great mourning, there are streaks of pride and satisfaction; Because he knows that his wife has transformed from a loving family man into a loving nation man. This path was his chosen path; a path in which his constant advice to everyone, whether in private or in the field, was only one thing: Support the Velayat-e-Faqih.
Martyrdom sometimes came in the form of a kiss in a dream, and sometimes with an unfinished promise in the martyrs' garden. Sardar Mehrara knew when the last meeting would be. He said goodbye to his children; Mahla and Mahyar; farewells that smelled of eternal farewell. It was as if he had entrusted the heavy burden of this family to the merciful God for the last time and left, with the certainty that his path was the path of guidance.
The words of the martyr's wife; a bastion of love and responsibility
The martyr's wife, Banu Faezeh Dowlatkhah, speaks, but her words are not from a cry, but from a kind of perseverance; words that stem from her deep belief in her husband's mission.
My husband was a man whose kindness transcended the boundaries of his family and encompassed the entire nation. In our home, he was the best father and husband, but on his path, he was a soldier who never left the trenches. He always insisted that we support the guardianship of the jurist; this word was not just advice, but a summary of his faith and the path of his life.
My dear daughter made an unwritten promise with her father in the Martyrs' Garden. She promised to stay by her father's grave every night for iftar so that the general would not be alone in that valley. On the last night, she slept next to Mahla and Mahyar. That dream was a dream from which she woke up before sunrise; she kissed the foreheads of her sleeping children and left. It was as if she knew that this was the last warm touch of the world. She embraced her children from the bottom of her heart, as if she wanted to include all the love of the coming years in those few minutes, and left.
The last words were the final farewell to me; As you know, he went to avenge his martyred leader. He went and joined his master, Imam Hussein (AS); his martyrdom was a martyrdom on the path of Ashura.
The moment I received this news, the words of Hazrat Zainab (AS) came to life in my mind. I have seen nothing but beauty. This painful sight is beautiful to me, because the satisfaction of the beloved lies in it. I will never cry until the enemy is happy. Even if we die a hundred times and come back to life again, this path is the path of this revolution and we will continue. We continue to support the authority of the jurist, the leadership, and Iran. My request to the authorities is this. Take revenge for the blood of our leader. Revenge, revenge, revenge.
A sense of responsibility always surged in his spirit. He was a trustee of his family, a trustee of the martyrs, and a trustee of this system. His advice to his daughters was to pray early and support the Supreme Leader.
The moment of iftar; The intersection of martyrdom and obedience
Ismail's martyrdom was a story that took on a face similar to his master Ali (AS); a moment full of wisdom and meaning that occurred at the height of commitment. It was Saturday, the sun had set and the call to prayer was about to open his lips to drink water. He, who was at the peak of his command with a fasting mouth, was invited to the iftar table by his young soldiers.
With a fatherly but firm smile, he replied: You are young, go and break your fast. I will come after you.
These words were his last practical will. It was as if the unseen command had set its flight clock to that exact moment. As soon as he had placed the heavy burden of the front line on the shoulders of his younger companions with complete sacrifice and sent them forward to the divine banquet, the drone arrived. The enemy drone landed at the exact moment that Ismail was at the peak of his responsibility. He not only completed his duty, but by his departure, he taught his companions how to rush to meet the Lord with a fasting mouth, at the height of sacrifice. The wings of his flight were sewn onto his shoulders at that very moment.
Mother's Voice: Satisfaction with the Fruit of Education in the Path of Truth
Masoumeh Ghafarpour, the mother of martyr Sardar Ismail Mehrara, speaks in a tone tinged with eternal pride as a mother who saw the fruit of her life in the path of ideals: I am happy that God gave me the success of raising a son who wore the crown of honor of martyrdom in the path of Islam. My Ismail was always the embodiment of tolerance; he was neither a fighter nor did he seek to hurt anyone, but he stood firm and steadfast in the principles and principles of his belief and religion. His generosity included everyone; he placed each person in his rightful place and never lost his balance. I owe this great blessing, this flight of the soul, to the grace of my Lord. Thank God that my son attained martyrdom; this is the highest honor for his mother.
Whisper before the flight
In the last hours before the flight, longing and longing overwhelmed my soul as if an unseen voice had risen up inside me. It was Saturday, around 10:30 AM; the phone rang, with a heart that was waiting, she said: Mom! I answered: Dear Mom.
The message contained the last lesson in humility and commitment: I just spoke to Faezeh, but the line is busy; I will call again. Tell her that we may not be able to make it for iftar; we are healthy, but the workload is heavy. Please do not call, I will call myself to put your mind at ease.
As soon as this mysterious conversation was over, I conveyed the situation to his wife and then, with a heart that was full of maternal love but her faith overcame it, I raised my needy hand to the sky and with all my being, I entrusted him to the safe haven of God.
Describing the peak of martyrdom, surrender and peace on the eve of farewell
At that moment, when the thunder of the attacks roared in the sky, my heart created a huge chaos in my chest. Anxiety had tied my hands and feet so tightly that it robbed me of the ability to communicate. Suddenly, I heard his sister's trembling voice whispering the news of his injury: Brother, he has been injured...
But at that moment, the light of certainty overcame the darkness of fear. With a firmness that seemed to spring from the depths of the history of Ashura, I guided my words and said: No! Never say that my son is injured; say that the one I love has reached his final destination and joined the caravan of Karbala.
Because I knew; He was called to an eternal feast; the bloody feast of Imam Hussein (AS) and the feast of the honor of Imam Ali (AS); at that moment, pure submission reigned in my heart and peace replaced the commotion.
A Mother's Covenant with the Ideal of the Homeland
I, Masoumeh Ghaffarpour, the mother of Ismail, with a heart that no longer accepts sorrow and contains only heavenly pride, offer a word to my beloved homeland and nation. My eternal honor is that I sacrificed my heart in the sacred space of this homeland. May the noble nation of Iran know that I entrusted this child to this land not only for me, but as a precious trust.
All the children of this border and land have veins of milk and hearts of steel; they will continue this luminous path with passion and enthusiasm. Know for sure that the revenge of the unjustly shed blood lies in our perseverance; Our revenge is to stand on principles, and ultimately, this path full of sacrifice will lead to the final victory of Islam; this promise is true that defeat will not come to the feet of faith.
