•1-Preface:

 The folder you are going to read is the memoir of a righteous man who shouldering a gun rose to clear the society and the nature. A pious man who is the interpretation of a verse of the Holy Koran which says: “… and we sent down Iron …” ((VA anzalnal hadid…)), and like as the gentle knights through his memoirs teaches others ((How to live)).

 He is one of the big architects of history, a noble man, the holy prophet’s Offspring (PBUH), who is moving towards applying the Mohammedan (PBHU) roles and to reanimate the Medina of the Qadir. An idol protester, the descendant of Abraham who through the throat of David; had performed the great convocation of his era, and was going to make a steel armature to immunize the whole society against the devil of his century and to ascend the ethical values.

 Navvab Safavi (the legate of the dawn) is awaiting a pure government in which all the pious and the downtrodden are legatees of the earth. The leader of the devotees of Islam is awaiting the Last imam (PBUH), who at the last sequence of the history wanted the whole world be ruled under the regulations of God and his Holy book (Quran).

In his view related to Koran, he desires to kill the devil and reanimate the downtrodden. Holding the charter of ruling in his hand circulated all over the world and believing in the worldwide Islam, fights the enemies of Islam. His slogan is ((whole the world our home)) and oversteps to the immeasurable lands.

The Martyrs Foundation respecting the martyrs of the Islamic devotees in the memoirs of these nobles specially reveres Martyr Navvab Safavi.

•2-Sayed in Najaf:

Sayed in his migration avoided the colonial teachings. Najaf made him not only an inventor and an innovator but also a battler and a follower of Imam Ali (PBHU). Sayed not only wanted to be Farabi of his era and to write the votes of the people of medina but also wanted to be Seyed Razi and to collect the anecdotes of Imam Ali (PBHU) and to announce them to the whole society. He wanted to be Abouzar of his era and to fight the tyrants of his time and to arouse the people.

Sayed stepped into the city of knowledge and the University of the Shiite, and calmly started to study the Islamic religion knowledge. His study in industrial school which ended in getting his diploma synchronized studying the Islamic knowledge in a mosque in the evenings and then in the Marvee school, and in Najaf Seminary went on learning Islamic science.

Now he has come to Najaf and mostly searching for the Islamic political philosophy. He not only studies several sciences of Seminary about Islam but also he is looking for the Political rudiments of Islam. The rudiments which are the soul of the Islam and the superiority of the Muslim people can’t be ascertained without applying it.

Seyed learned the preliminary knowledge and seeking for higher professors went to Najaf to learn the higher levels.

1- Hazrat Allameh Ayatollah Amini

2- Hazrat Ayatollah Ozma Hajj Agha Hossein Qomi

3- Hazrat Ayatollah Agha Sheikh Mohammad Tehrani

These were the professors, from whom he had learnt jurisprudence, fundamentals, and the external interpretation of Holy Quran and the roots of politics and believes.

•3-The radiance of the star:

The sun was expiring behind the dark clouds of injustice. One could hardly see its twinkle. The people were preys. The hands were not free and the shouts were muffled. And the hearts were dispirited like as the autumn evenings.

A baby cried in the house. And the father wept. And the mother hugged his baby and her tears dropped on his face. A star had stepped into the modest home of Master Sayed Javad. And the father began to read some heavenly verses.

He was hopeful to see the blooms of the violets in the spring. Master Sayed Javad Mir lohi called his name Sayed Mojtaba. It was 1925; Master Sayed Javad selected this name because all the time he wanted to remember the offspring of the Holy prophet at any moment. In his childhood his first songs were the small verses of holy Quran. The first book which he knew was Quran, which his parents read it pleasantly everyday.

And Sayed Mojtaba memorized the short verses of Holy Quran motivated by his parents. He attended the ceremonies of reading Quran along with his father actively. The holy Quran is his book of life, and loves it.

When he was 7 years old, he went to school, and when graduated from the primary school, he attended the German industrial School in Hakim Nezami.

Sayed Mojtaba loved the Islamic lessons so much and turned to Seminary lessons but his uncle who was a judge opposed him. But Sayed insisted on his idea and began learning the seminary lessons in a mosque in Khani Abad and at the same time at the school of Germans started learning the modern knowledge.

•4-Those shouting for freedom:

The great Sayed Navvab Safavi learnt the fundamentals of political philosophy of Islam from these great professors and made acquaintance with the jurisprudence of the Islam. When he was studying in Najaf he usually got a book called Sarve and he showed the book to some of the great authorities of Islam in Najaf; and Hazrat Ayatollah Ozma Hajj Agha Hossein Qomi clearly passed sentence on the writer for Apostasy.

Navvab for a sense of duty about Islam; decided decisively to be back to his home to squelch that ignorant.

•5-A decisive decision:

After Navvab moved to Iran; the citizenry of Tabriz, Maraqeh and some journalists rose to oppose Ahmadi Kasravi and wanted the government to sentence him for publishing such a delusive book.

Kasravi after defecting Islam necessitated himself to reanimate the ancient Iran. So that he learnt the Armenian Language to study more about it. One of his published books is: ‘Shahryaran Gomnam Azari’ or the ancient language of Azarbaijan. Because of his authorship he was called a writer and researcher and soon he was famous. But it was not satisfactory for him and soon he turned to political, social, ethical and religious subjects.

And soon after that he held a celebration and there he burnt the canon of the great poets of Iran which are the collections of the Islamic culture of Iran and later he burnt some books about prays and claimed to be a prophet.

He was the offspring of the Imams and had passed some time in their cloth.  So that at first Navvab tried to correct him. And when he got that Kasravi is in Abadan he went there and in one of the mosques he delivered speech and invited him to discuss with. But Kasravi had gone to Tehran.

Navvab Safavi came to Tehran and contacted some of his friends. And he decided to invite him in a plenum to discuss with. Ayat- ollah Taleghani encouraged him and so that martyr Navvab went to the Club of Kasravi.

He talked much but couldn’t convince him. Kasravi was condemned by the professor of Navvab (Hazrat Ayatollah Ozma Hajj Agha Hossein Qomi) to be guilty of apostasy. So that he should be uprooted.

The great Sayed took some money from Hazrat Ayatollah Madani and Agha Sheikh Mohammad Hassan Taleghani to buy a gun. On 13th may 1946, when Kasravi was going home at half past one PM, was aimed by a gun at the Heshmatodoleh Square but because of wear and tear it didn’t work. And the police took Navvab to the police station. The clergymen of Iran and Najaf asked for his freedom and he was released on bail after two months.

•6-Founding the devotees of Islam:

After getting out of jail, he thought on founding the devotees of Islam group to fight the corrupt politicians in the society. Through leaflets they asserted their entity. The handouts gravitated the people toward the devotees of Islam and the persons such as Seyed Hossein Imami joined Navvab.

At 10 AM 11th March 1946, the irate signs of God appeared and Kasravi was assassinated by four members of the devotees of Islam called: Sayed Hossein Imami, Sayed Ali Imami, Javad Mozaffari and Ali Fada’ee, to let the Islamic society to move towards God.

•7-Supporting the cause of Palestine :

According to the resolution which was authorized by the United Nations, it was allowed to establish a usurper government which had caused so many problems for the Islamic nations. The activities of the colonialists of England once again worried the people of Iran, and that day the home of Ayatollah Kashani was the center of movements and revolutions and all rallies were directed there. Martyr Navvab Safavi had a main role in these activities and on Friday 21st may 1949, in the Soltani Mosque the greatest number of people was mustered. In that session Kashani and Navvab were so active and they issued a resolution to sympathize the people of Palestine. Some days later, they specified some special places to enlist for anti-Semitism; so that 5000 were enlisted. After that the devotees of Islam announced as follows:

In the name of the liefest

God will help and the triumph is impending (quoted fro Holy Koran)

The devotees were sizzling to help the people of Palestine. 5000 members of the brave devotees are leaving for Palestine and hurriedly want to get permission from the Government of Iran.

•8-The memoirs of the friends of Navvab Safavi:

I first met him in Ghaser Jail although I had attended his speeches in Feiziyeh School, but my private meeting with Navvab Safavi was in Ghaser jail; and I remember when I entered the prison, at first he said: how fast are the minutes and the hours, days and the weeks, months and the years; soon after that we’ll die and we don’t know that the God is satisfied with us or not.

He adds: I haven’t seen any blameworthy act which he has done. Once I invited him to Kashan and insisted to go to the Feiz Garden.

And he said: will it be good for proselytizing or not?

I said: No, it is just for enjoyment.

And he said: I vowed never to travel that is not for proselytizing; So, I don’t come.

•9-The Anthem of Freedom

On 16th November 1956, they held a funeral in Shah Masque for the demise of Mustafa Kahsani the eldest son of Ayatollah Kashani. At 3:45 PM Hossein A’la came to the mosque to attend the funeral of the representative of the Islamic parliament. Mozaffar A’la Zolghader attacked him but the second bullet stuck in the gun so that he could just traumatize A’la and the police captured him. The leader of the devotees of Islam with his followers was staying at Ayatollah Taleghani ‘S house and then they went to Hamid Zolghadr’s house. The police forces on 22nd November 1956, in the afternoon entered Zolghader’s house and captured Navvab Safavi and Seyed Muhammad Vahedi and took them to police station; and Teimoor Bakhteyar the military governor at that time tortured him.

Hossein A’la was wounded and then he went to Baghdad to sign the military treaty proposed by USA; Sayed Abdol Hossein Vahedi and Asadollah Khatibi are waiting in Ahvaz in case Zolghader failed they would kill him. But on 22nd November 1956, they were found and captured. Abdol Hossein Vahedi was martyred by Bakhteyar in his office discharging three bullets, and they failed to eradicate the agent of the colonialists.

At the same time, when the devotees of Islam were captured, they capture Ayatollah Kashani too.

After capturing the leader of the devotees of Islam and his followers, they started to torture them. For example they undressed that noble man and exposed him to a bear to traumatize him. And they droped cold water on his head and …, and they put Khalil in a barrel containing some pieces of broken glass and then they rolled it. But Navvab Safavi and his followers resisted them like a mount and when the enemy thought they had ascended the apex, they just scared.

Sayed Mojtaba Navvab Safavi the leader of the devotees of Islam said what he had said it before. And never defected his brass tacks. He considered the government of Reza Khan and his son illegitimate. And he didn’t pay attention to their court and system. 

On 25th December 1956, the first trial session was held aboveboard, and after 3 days jurisdiction went on covertly. And at last they decided tyrannically as follows:

1-The Death sentence for Sayed Mojtaba Navvab Safavi.

2-The Death sentence for Sayed Mohammad Vahedi.

3-The Death sentence for Mozaffar Zolghader.

4-The Death sentence for Khalil Tahmasebi.

5-6 years jail for Sayed Hadi Mir lohi.

6-5 years jail for Asghar Amravi.

7-4 years jail for Ahmad Tehrani.

8-3 years jail for Ali Bahari.

At about 3 or 4 AM, on 17th January 1956, that coincided the martyrdom day of Hazrat Fatemeh Zahra (PBUH), the first shouter against the injustice who tried to establish an Islamic Government and to reanimate Navvab Safavi’s Ghadir of Medina joined the other martyrs.
