Selma’s Unspoken words Of Martyr Babayi’s Life

Navideshahed (Iran):

Here is an interview at the University of Major General Pilot Abbas Babayi with his daughter "Selma”

In the morning he went out…

Most of the time we could not see him at the home, we knew that he was defending the country, he usually came at the midnight and kissed my forehead and left us before morning.

I remember that; it was supposed to give us a big house, since my father’s grade promotion, but he did not accept and chose a very small house to live.

Penetrating Look

When my mother traveled to mecca, some inconvenient events happened. "The Bloody Friday”, the pilgrims of mecca were attacked by Wahhabis, we got worried.

Whatever we called her, we could not speak with…we went out to buy newspaper to understand whether her name was in the list or not? She was not in the list.

As we came back, we called her again and finally found her. I went to another room and listened to their conversation. She was sad for the distance, at last my father told her: we will see each other at Eid Al Ahda.

Why Don’t You Use The Governmental Car?

In the evening we ought to go to Qazvin (city in Iran) to visit our relatives. As we wanted to take a taxi, my dad’s friend told him…. Why don’t you use the governmental car? And insisted on it while my father did not accept it. My father never used the governmental property.

As we had arrived Qazvin, we went to sleep. Suddenly my father came and kissed my forehead… it was the last time we saw each other.

Abbas is Unsatisfied

My father martyred while mom was in mecca. Imam Khomeini ordered that: we should wait for the funeral ceremony until mother’s return. When she came back, my father’s workmates waited for her in the airport to carry her to the funeral ceremony.

On the way one of dad’s workmate started to tell the truth and said: Abbas was injured and you will be beside him, but you should not cry…

You Joined To Your Creator While I was In Mecca…

As she saw us who were wearing black clothes, found out dad’s martyrdom. She stood firmly, when she faced with his pure body kissed his forehead and said: you had sent me to mecca, and you yourself joined to your creator.

Martyr Babayi was born in 1329 in Qazvin. He went to America to continue his professional studies.
