A Review on the Biography of Martyr Mohammad Hussein Saedi

Mohammad Hussein Saedi was born in 1956 in Khalil Abad village located in Markazi province. He learnt Koran and religious percepts in the Madrassas of the village. After that he went to the elementary school. He accomplished the elementary school. There was no guidance school in Khalil Abad village. Also there was no opportunity for him to continue his education in this village; that is why Mohammad Hussein had to leave school and he started helping his father in the farming.

Later he went to Tehran city to work and he stayed in this city.

During the climax of Islamic movement of Iranian people against Pahlavi’s regime, he was present in Tehran city. He would both work and take part in the protests which would be raised against puppet of foreign countries (Shah).

The sacred efforts of the people of Iran were followed with a good result after many years and eventually the Islamic Revolution won. When Imam Khomeini demanded that the domestic products and specially the agricultural products must be increased in order to make the country independent to the foreign goods; he returned to his village in order to work as a farmer and to play a role in the self-sufficiency of country.

When the Imposed War Era started, Mohammad Hussein learnt the military techniques in the winter of 1980 and he went to the war. After a few times passing from his presence in the battlefields, he joined the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Crops. During his service in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Crops he took part in some military operations including Fathol Mobin, Beitol Moghadas, Muharram, Ramadan, Valfajr Moghadamati, Valfajr 2, Valfajr 3 and Valfajr 4.

His courage and innovations that Mohammad Hussein would present during the tough and difficult moments of facing with enemy made the commanders to appoint him as a commander. He started his commandership from a junior level and he was a successful man in all the responsibilities which has been given to him.

After a few times passing from his presence in the battlefields he came to Khomein city and he became the deputy commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Khomein city. After that he returned to the battlefields and he became the deputy commander of the battalion. After that due to the need of his presence, he came to Khomein city once again and he became the deputy of operation commander. The deputy commander of the battalion and the operation commander were the next posts of this great man.

In 1983, the Islamic Republic of Iran launched a very huge military operation named ‘Kheibar’ in the southern battlefields in order to damage the war machine of enemy and to liberate some parts of the Iranian territories from the occupation of Iraq.

At that time, Mohammad Hussein was commander of Rohollah Battalion. He fought against the enemy so bravely and he was martyred proudly in that year as well.

This martyr in a section of his will had written:

I know my path so well and I know it is a true way and it will lead to God and I have got knowledge about the path of enemy as well and I know that it is false and it will lead to devil. I can not stay silent anymore and I can not let the enemy to occupy more lands of Iran. Dear brothers! You should pay attention to this issue that taking part in this war requires merits. The only wish that I had was purifying myself and that the Imam of the time to accept me as one of his soldiers.

You pious people, let us to value the blessings of God. We must be thankful and grateful that God has granted this leader to us. You should know that the martyrs want you to come to the battlefields. Though the martyrs get martyred, but at the same time they are worried about the religion as well and they don’t wish the people to be in a bad and low position. The martyrs don’t wish that a blow to hit the revolution and Islamic Republic.

The memories of martyr’s spouse

He was so active politically and religiously. I can remember that it was the time of wedding party of Ahmad Saedi. He had come to Khomein city in order to take the bride to the village where he was living. But when he observed that there is a protest, he left the wedding party and he went there in order to take part in the protests and he returned homed at midnight.

He would say: "I don’t wish my body to return to the city after my martyrdom, because I’m a commander and I will be sorry for those martyrs whose corpses have been left in the battlefields.”
