Why Weren't They Invited
(By Haj Mohammad Sheibanee)
A group of the Air Force personnel were supposed to meet Imam Khomeini on one occasion. They woke up at dawn and after saying their prayers, they began to praise God. In the early hours of the morning, I moved towards Hossainee Jamaran with lots of love and hope that came from the bottom of my heart.
I was so happy that I wanted to fly like pigeons in the sky over Jamaran "Oh thank God, You gave me the grace of visiting his holiness!" I reached Jamaran neighborhood. I saw my colleagues in Jamaran, each one was trying to do better than the other one and they tried to meet Allah's spirit sooner than the others, even for a moment and they wanted to enjoy his spiritual speech and his holy breath of Christ very much.
As I was running in one of the alleys leading to Hossainee, I saw Martyr Haj Mostafa Ardestani who was standing in a corner and was frowning. I wanted to know the reason. When I saw the signs of sadness on his face, I noticed that
a problem had made him feel indignant. I didn't know what to say! Then Martyr General Abbass Doran came. He looked at Martyr Ardestani and said, "Haj. Mostafa are you expecting someone?"
"No"
"So why are you standing here?" With his head drooping, he said, "I am not going with you. You can go."
"I think there is a problem. Is that right?" As if he felt a lump in his throat, in a protesting tone he said, "General! I have objection. You judge. Why haven't you invited the war men? This is far from justice to ignore them and deprive them of the visit with the revered Imam."
Martyr Babaee spoke with Haj. Mostafa for a few minutes and promised him to follow up the case and the opportune time to send the others to Imam's presence.
Martyr Ardestani who was calmed a little by Abbass, with a satisfactory smile on his lips, set out for Hosseinieh, shoulder to shoulder with his permanent companion, Martyr Babaee.
