He Ascended to the Creator Lovingly

Manoochehr Madgh during the revolutionary protests against the regime of Shah in 1978. She got married with him after a year.

As a result they got two children with the names of “Ali”? and “Hoda”?.

Getting familiar with martyr Seyed Manoochehr Madgh:

Our first appointment was on November 4, 1978 in Tehran University. I had gone there to spread written announcement against the regime of Shah along with my friends, suddenly the conflicts between people and SAVAK forces started.

Suddenly someone grabbed my hand and wanted to help me. He said; “come on get on my motorcycle.”?

Since I had feared so much I got on Seyed Manoochehr Madgh’s motorcycle.

Later I realized that he was one of our neighbor sons. I had not seen him until that day. I saw Manoochehr in protests for several other times.

After having some appointments with each other we were absorbed to each other and we felt that we can get married. So he formally proposed marriage to me for the first time and Manoochehr expressed his conditions to me.

He said if this revolution needs him, he will sacrifice for that. I needed to think about this issue carefully. Manoochehr had finished his second year of high school, but he had not gotten his diploma degree, because he had started his job after that. He was a mechanic and his financial situation was not bad. At first my family was against this issue, but I had selected him as my future husband. Martyr Seyed Manoochehr Madgh was so patient and kind.

Now Manoochehr had become a guard for himself and he had managed to do many things. He decided to go to the battlefields of Iran-Iraq war. He firstly went to Kurdistan.

She said: After sometime, we were successful to satisfy my dad to allow me marry with Manoochehr. We started our living together in 1979.

Freshte Maleki started a new life with she got married with martyr Seyed Manoochehr Madgh.

She said: we went on honeymoon for a month; we stayed in the north of Iran. When we came back home, suddenly the war was started.

He went to the battlefields of Iran-Iraq war and he stayed there for six months. During this time I had no news about him. I could not tolerate being away from Manoochehr. Indeed it was so difficult for me. When he came back, we went to the south of Iran and we stayed there until the end of the war.

We lived in a small room in the South of Iran. Manoochehr would visit me every several months and then he would go back to the battlefields of Iran-Iraq war again.

Maybe our first six month of marriage was passed in a way that Manoochehr was mostly in the battlefields. Since 1987 I could not tolerate this situation anymore. I would be affiliated to him more and more. I wished that all the days be Friday so he stays at home with me and he spends his time with me.

Ali was born in 1981. Martyr Seyed Manoochehr Madgh was so happy for this issue. Hoda was born in 1986. Manoochehr liked our children so much.

Manoochehr was exposed to chemical weapons during the military operation of Karbala 5. His body had been covered with blisters and he had faced with eye problems.

After War

Manoochehr was an authority for Balal Garisson of Karaj city in 1988. He would go to the battlefields for some services. Each time that he would come back from there, he would be thinner and weaker.

He could not eat foods. He would say that eating food hurts him. All the foods seemed so spicy to him. Still we did not know what chemical injury is and what the results of that are.

His physicians also did not determine his disease or illness. Each time that we took him to hospital, they would inject him a serum. He would be hospitalized for two days and again we would come back home.

His chemical injury was intensified in 1990. Manoochehr had a surgery as his physicians wanted to remove a shot from his body, his chemical therapy was started since that time. Days would be passed hardly and Manoochehr’s health condition would be worse day by day in a way that he was not able to move for six month. After six month, he started walking by a stick. He lost his eyesight for a long time; again his eyes were recovered after injecting many ampoules.

Still his body was full of blisters, in a way that he could not rest so much. He firstly lost his left lung and his doctors cut a part of his intestine.

He faced with many severe headaches. Blood would flow from his nostrils and ears.

Manoochehr would do his daily activities himself. Sometimes he could not tolerate his pains anymore, even he resigned, but his resignation was not accepted. He went to the war zones in 1989 and he stayed there for four months. His health condition was so worse and he would vomit blood. They took him to Tehran and he was hospitalized in Tehran city. He would deeply breathe until 2000. He would say that I can feel burnt flesh in my body.

Manoochehr dealt with God and he did not agree to lose for nothing

Manoochehr was so kind and patient. He would not object although he had to tolerate so many pains. He liked some Soras of Koran so much like Al-Rahman, Ziyarat Ashura…

He liked sky so much. He would worship God on the roof of our house. He would say that I do not like to be martyred soon, because I want to pray God more and more.

The year of 2000 was a hard and bad year, because Manoochehr could not tolerate this situation anymore. He said: “I asked God that I reach to martyrdom, as I can not bear these hard days anymore.”?

Finally the physician of hospital said that there is no hope that Manoochehr survives anymore.

I stayed with Manoochehr until morning and both of us were crying in tears.

In the morning he had a critical health condition and his body blooding. He touched the blood and put on his face and I said: “Manoochehr, why are you doing this? He said it is martyrs blood.

He asked me to bring a glass of water for him. When I brought water for him, he poured the water on his head and said: “I have washed my head and I’m ready for martyrdom, he started to pray God once again.”?

After prayer, he held my hands and said: “your hands have done many difficult works for me and he repeated this sentence several times. I was crying in tears and I could not say anything.

Manoochehr would say “I do not like to be martyred on the bed of hospital”?.

When a nurse changed the sheet of his bed, I and Ali helped him to get up. Then Manoochehr looked into my eyes and Ali’s eyes and then he closed his eyes.

He was martyred in the arms of me and my son “Ali”?.

God heard Manoochehr’s request and Manoochehr was martyred on November 22, 2000.

Manoochehr sacrificed his life for me and for children. Our children also appreciate his sacrifices and efforts as well.

Ali would always say: “If we have many mistakes in this world, instead we are so happy that won’t be sorry in front of our father.”?

All of us owe our life to some great persons such as Seyed Manoochehr Madgh.

Still I feel that Manoochehr is with us and he sees us. I and children feel his presence in everywhere too.
