Women, yesterday front, today front

1) Dimension of accepting, receiving, and accompanying
What kind of glory for women is more supreme than the first advocate is a woman and her life and financial support at danger time and her spiritual sympathy was propped happening of prophet’s aspiration. We can point great personalities such as Fatimah daughter of Assad, somayeh and Nasibeh.
2) Dimension of propaganda and publication of facts and defense from religion bounds
Women’ striking in Mecca and sitting down on the way of Hamzeh, made him defend of prophet and punish Abujahl. Khansa by her propagandas caused to Bensalem tribe convert into Islam, defense prophet by her poems and even her four children were commanded to go to battle field at Ghasediyeh war and they all suffered martyrdom. Ghaziyeh was so, too. She propagandizes Islam, because of that her hands and legs were fasten to camel and released at torrid desert 3days, and she achieved glorious success.
3) Attendance at battle scenes, aiding and treating the wounded
Prophet’s dear daughter has attended at battle scene individually. She has applied ointment on father’s and husband’s wounds and beside other women, has consoled prophet (peace be upon him) and companions. Ome Ziad, Ome Iman, and Nasibeh have attended at prophet’s holy war. They have watered the combats, treated them, and fought with weapons at dangerous situations.
4) Participating at crusade and accepting martyrdom
Ome Amareh or Nasibeh after overthrown of Tel Ainein at Ohod holy war, once discovered prophet’s life at danger, has defended him. She has wounded and had 13 on her body. One of soldiers has passed by prophet at escaping. Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “do you escape? At least throw your shield. “Nasibeh has taken shield. One of enemies has attacked her; she has defended by shield and then with help of her son, Abdullah, killed him and his horse.
Suddenly, Abdullah discovered himself at strait and siege. He thought about escape. His mother stopped him and said”? where do you escape? Do you escape from god and prophet?”? Abdullah returned and fought. A cavalier has attacked Abdullah. He wounded. His mother tied up his wound quickly and said”? darling stand up and continue crusade.”? Nasibeh attacked that cavalier and his leg wounded so intensely that she fall down. To watch her quick and fight, prophet was so laughing that his molar teeth was appeared and said softly”? bravo Nasibeh, What a good revenge!
Moment later, Abdullah suffered martyrdom. Nasibeh passed by Abdullah’s bloody body. She did not hesitate. Her sword was turning around the air. When she saw a bow, which one of prophet’s escapee companions had thrown it, she took the bow and began to shoot. Prophet (peace be upon him), wounded and bloody, was blessing her. Following sever fight, she returned at prophet. O Mohammad, ask god to settle us at paradise beside you. Prophet invocated for him.
Gamer, Vahab’s self-sacrificing mother, has fought at Karbala and Haneyeh, Vahab’s young wife, came to battle field at the time of her husband’s martyrdom and beside him, has suffered martyrdom by slave of Omar Sad’s irony mace, so that Karbala has had martyr woman, too.
Following her son’s martyrdom, Gamer has thrown his head, which had been thrown her, toward the enemy and said”? we do not take back a present that offered to god. Then she attacked enemy with a pillar of tent. She killed two people and according to Imam Hussein’s command, she returned to tent. Bright history of Islam is great women’ letter of introduction and lexicon of scatter and self-denial of such devout and self-less mothers and wives.
5) Prudent and continuance of martyrs’ way
Zat ol Nezamin, a brave woman who has attended at Saffein beside his majesty Ali (peace be upon him), energized the combats and her fiery speeches seed their souls with courage. Following her master’s martyrdom, she did not leave off and even praised Ali’s justice and repeated his greatness, in front of Maavieh. However, the brightest prudent, patient personality, and massager of Karbala is Zeinab Cobra (peace be upon her), who is continuance and perfection of Karbala and today, there is not any signal from Karbala, without her.
Women’ attendance at holy defense
Excellent and splendid transformation of Islamic revolution, opened a new way and another life method ahead of human, and one of the most excellent paragons of that , is women attendance at all cultural, social, economic, political, and even military arenas. Those who remember rising and great movement days at 1357, never forget forestalling of women and their indescribable influence. At eight years holy defense, women’ epic of accompanying, sympathy, patience, stimulation and motivating, self-abnegation, and devotion is so great and praiseworthy and wonderful. Doubtless, if this section was written and shown openly and correctly, will be peerless and incomparable at our history, and plenty of samples can be found equal to advent of Islam and as food as Karbala. Enthusiastic attendance of women at purple years of holy defense is researchable from some respects.
1) Participating at battle scenes
To begin war, front lines and even battle scenes have witnessed women’ participating. Writer, himself, has witnessed fighting and martyrdom of girls and women at south, Khoramshahr and Abadan fronts. Women who have stimulated combats and themselves, sometimes fought with weapons. Some of these girls and women have come to front for aiding or nursing and treating and suffered martyrdom at that same place or at strait of front, they held weapon and fought and suffered martyrdom. Martyr Parvin Haji shah, whom has been engaged to her martyrdom at novel was entitled”? headless palms”? by Gholam Ali Ferasat, is among them. Captivity of some sisters at the point of war is another open evidence for this claim.
Another dimension of this attendance, as pointed, was medical caring, nursing and aiding at fronts. At fire and blood moments, flourish wounds and fall of melted lead, unknown and fearless women, have applied ointment on wounds, friendly, with love and confidently. At Shalamche, some steps away from enemy, some women have come to help fearlessly and tirelessly, at the same first days of holy defense. They, not only, have responded some of medical and aiding needs, but also, have flowed blood of zeal in veins. This is one of the most glorious mementos of writer at final hours of Khoramshahr overthrown. The last forces have fought with the last bullets. Supplying the forces was impossible. Bridge of bridge was at rifle shot. Combats whose numbers were not forty people, have resisted persistently. Gradually, alleys have become red from last companions’ blood. Writer was among the last people who reached the coast. There was explosion and martyr, one by one. Passing over the bridge was impossible. The last vehicle that carried few wounded over the bridge was aimed by R.P.G and stayed on it. We had to move over roof of bridge. To hang the rods of bridge’s roof, we have moved with heavy equipments and our last power. Bullets were hitting around. Quivers, whistling, passed by us. More than forty minutes lasted that we, hanging the roof, reached ourselves on the other side of Khoramshahr, Abadan. On the other side of river, other wounded, who reached themselves to other side of bridge, had fell down. Few young girls were dressing and treating their wounds. A young girl had putting a combat’s head over her knees. Young combat’s clothes was bloody. He asked girl to attend people. It appeared that they were sister and brother. Young girl opened button of the young’s bloody clothes, as if she could not look it. The young murmured quietly:
I am anxious about the verse,”? they said yeah”?
My sins is more than amount of leaves and rain
If the verse, “ ? ”? won’t help me
I am anxious about the verse,”? ? ”?
A wounded combat’s voice caused her come to herself. She put brother’s head over earth and went toward wounded. Her brother’s chest was shedding blood and young girl convoyed blood just with a look and rushed to another side. …. This is a sample among thousands self-abnegation, self-denial and splendid services of women at years of wound and martyrdom and scatter and doubtless, such examples abound in combat’s memories and mementos.
2) Stimulating and motivating and encouraging to fronts
Henceforth, the role and effect of women is very extensive from various aspects. Few sample mentioned below is interpretation of this dimension of women’ attendance and effect.
- Attending at fronts and stimulating combats
In the beginning of war, there were mothers who attended at front line and stimulated combats at south fronts. At Fayyaziyeh front of Abadan, a cheerful old woman has attended even in blockhouses and everyone called her “mom.”? Whenever mortar or ordnance bullets hit around, she said with a quiet and kind tone”? do not be afraid! It is nothing! May god guard you all! At that moments and scenes, there was few who have not eaten mom’s sweetmeat.
Sending packs of cookies and nuts beside encouraging papers and letters during the years of holy defense: especially at operations, the arrival of New Year and special days, cookies and nuts packs that had been provided by sisters have brought happiness and friendship into fronts.
-sending clothes and equipments to fronts: these cargos were outcome of sisters’ effort at back of front.
-sending massages by radio or letters, papers and scrolls: these kinds of massages were impressive, motivator and spiritual support for fronts.
3) Dispatching husbands, brothers, sons, and dears to front
Convoying the combats with tear and smile and swarm of smoke, applause, and salutation songs are unforgettable mementos of holy defense. Sometimes a mother has dispatched her son after husband’s martyrdom and dispatched another son after his martyrdom. Many families had presented to revolution and Islam few martyrs. Mothers’ patience was tranquilizer for other families. Someday, few martyrs have been brought for burying. What a wonderful uproar! A mother was overly impatient. To effort for calming down her was useless. Suddenly, a woman who tied her black veil around her waist, has come closer, murmured something in her ear, calmed her, and accompanied her. Then, it appeared she herself was martyr’s mother and now her fifth martyr son has been brought to bury. Mother put her fifth martyr to tomb with her own hands, has stood patiently and quietly, and said:”? dear son has not gone. These youths-pointing to martyr youths and fellow combats-are my sons, and they are not dear than Ali Akbar, Imam Hussein’s son.”? Then, she has changed speech and said”? dears, front is Karbala, do not let Imam Hussein alone. “Myth of women’ attendance at front s has wider and deeper dimensions than what was said. Whose pen and great ambition will turn over the leaves of this big book and will retold other untold, so that next generations will discovered that what a great generation and women acquainted with fact have created today’s peerless history
