If you replied …
The martyr was a student. One day, his mother sent him to make a doctor’s appointment. Before noon, a man whose name was Seyed Abbas Mir Kamali brought the appointment number and said: “Ali Akbar gave me this number to give to you, then he got in a car and left.”? I was worried when I heard this. Mr. Mahmoudi, the court consultant, was living in our house. He went and inquired about my son and when he came back, he said: “your son has gone to Semnan.”? I consulted with his brother Mohammad Hassan about this. He went to Semnan in the afternoon. When he arrived in Semnan, he was informed that his brother was moved to Shahmirzad. So, he went to Shahmirzad, there he realized that some guys had decided to go to the front lines without asking their parents. His brother brought him to Damghan. After a short time, the principal of his school called me to come to the school and called Ali Akbar to the office in the presence of all the teachers, then he said to me: “please ask him, where was he at the time of the examination?”? I asked him: “Ali Akbar! You heard what he said? Where did you go?”? then he turned towards the director and said: “you are the director of this school, not my chief!”? the director said: “go to your classroom.”?
After that, the director said to me that he wanted to inform me his school situation.
After a while, one day Ali Akbar came to me and said: “father! Aren’t we Moslems?
I expressed: “what are you saying?”? “Please allow me to go to the front, even for one day.”?
He said. I accepted.
He went to the front. After about 45 days, he returned back shocked with explosions. “Father, please allow me to hold Koran classes on the 2nd floor.”?
He asked me after some days. He held Koran classes and taught children the holy Koran.
I entertained those well and prepared fruit and tea for them. These classes continued for months.
Again He decided to do calligraphy. I said to him that how could he do calligraphy without any learning classes? He said that power of the Almighty is infinite. He did calligraphy and taught children too. He did calligraphy for Damghan revolutionary Guards found out about it. After some times, he again asked me to go to the front. I knew his interest and affection for the front lines, so I allowed him. And he went. Afterwards I realized that he has come to some bases in Damghan, Semnan and Tehran to become a member of the Revolutionary Guard, but he was not accepted because he was too young. After about one month, I was informed to get his clothes from the Post Office. I was convinced that he is martyred. “Why are you so sad?”? the employee said, when I went to the Post Office. “What are these clothes?”?
I asked. When I opened the carton, I saw a letter. He wrote: “I became a member of the Revolutionary Guards. So I sent the clothes back. Pray for me. He wrote that he should stay there (in the front) about 9 months.
Ali Akbar returned later and did calligraphy in the revolutionary Guard office. I had a heart disease and was sick intensely. Haj Abdollah Momeni came to our house with some of our revolutionary Guard brothers and said: “I want to ask you not to permit Ali Akbar to go to the front lines; we need him, now there is no calligraphist in the Revolutionary Guard.”?
“If I prevent him from going to the front lines, then in a meeting he would say that Islam is in danger but my father prevents me from defending it !, what can I say?”? Mr. Momeni agreed with me. A few days later, Ali Akbar said to me: “I want to go to the front lines but mother disagrees. So I ask you to allow me.”? I was in bed and said: “you will go, so why are you asking?”? “It is better, if I go with my parents ’blessing”? he answered.
“I have a question, if you answer, you can go.”? I asked him.
“If I know, I do.”? He stated.
“Do you go to front lines because of our monetary problems?!”? I asked. “Thank the greater, they have taught us to have endurance in starvation but not begging.”? He answered.
