“He was a courageous individual in the front line; a scholar and a wise manager. At the same time, his compassion attracted everybody to him. If you look at him from a mystical viewpoint, you will find him a pure mystic.”? the president noted. “If one is to talk sensibly about martyrs especially about Martyr Chamran, one has to have moved in their path himself. It is a difficult task to talk about martyrs, especially about Martyr Chamran.”? he added. “Martyr Chamran devoted his life to God. There are thousands of the likes of Chamran, Beheshti, Bahonar and Rajaee among our youth that have dedicated themselves to the society”? Iranian head of state praised Martyr Chamran’s qualities, such as his Social skills, selflessness and courage. “He was a unique person in his public and personal life”? Ahmadinejad added. “In Lebanon, amid mounting Zionist pressure and internal hostility, He entered the political scene and took effective measures.”? “A divine human being will emerge at his strongest against the enemy in the battle field, but will be humble towards the poor and oppressed. We are thankful to God for having divine persons like Chamran in our society. They are examples of divine human beings. Martyr Chamran devoted his life to God.”? Ahmadinejad considered the problem of today’s mankind his lack of appreciation for God. “The problem of Man today is that he is ignorant of God, while this is what all the prophets were appointed to attract man’s attention to.”? he said. “ When a person does an act with the pure intention of pleasing God, he is like a bird whose cage lock and chains are removed one after another and he can open his wings to fly away. Martyr Chamran is only one of the hundreds of unchained birds in our country.”? Ahmadinejad stressed the importance of Faith to solve our problems. “Other powers are absurd compared to God’s power. Chamran knew this; he dedicated all his being to God and attained the highest levels a man can attain; since devotion will always bring about victory.”? the president stated further.
