Martyr Nawab Safavi; A tireless fighter and chronologist / A man who was shot by rain with his eyes open

Arya Heritage News Agency: The 27th of January every year is a reminder of a political-historical event in our country’s calendar. In 1334, Mojtaba Mirlohi Tehrani, known as Nawab Safavi Shia cleric, the founder and leader of Jamiat Fadayan Islam, along with a number of his companions, were executed by the Pahlavi regime.

On the occasion of commemorating the anniversary of the martyrdom of this mujahid scholar, we will read a text from the book “Pai Ders Ulama” written by Hojjatul Islam Mohammad Taqi Sarafipour.

Martyr Seyyed Mojtabi Nawab Safavi was born in 1303 in Khani Abad, Tehran, and after finishing elementary school, he traveled to Abadan. Then he migrated to Najaf Ashraf to continue his education and there he benefited from the teachers of Najaf Ashraf Seminary.

After staying in Najaf for four years, he came to Iran on the order of Ayatollah Seyyed Aboulhasan Esfahani to fight against Kasravi’s perversions and by forming the “Community of Faithful to Islam” he started to fight against ill-wishers and ill-wishers. The assassination of colonial dependents such as Ahmad Kasravi, Abdul Hossein Hejir, Ali Razmara and Hossein Alaa is among the political activities of Jamiat Fadayan Islam led by Nawab Safavi.

Finally, this indefatigable mujahid along with three of his comrades named Khalil Tahmasbi, Mozafarali Zulqader and Seyyed Mohammad Vahedi were sentenced in the court of the Pahlavi regime and were shot on the morning of January 27, 1334, and joined the many martyrs.

It is stated in Khavaran’s call: “During one of the trips of Martyr Nawab Safavi to Noorabad, Lorestan, some residents of Noorabad Gendarmerie commander tortured the people and put them upside down on the roof in order to get weapons from the nomads. It was hanged, they complain to the martyr Nawab Safavi.

Nawab Safavi drove his car in front of the police station and called one of the officers of the police station and said to him: Tell your commander not to oppress the people, otherwise I will kill him with this revolver. When the oppressive commander hears this message from the Nawab, he immediately takes his wife and child and gets into his car and says to his deputy: I will not return to Noorabad until this Sayyid is in this area and he leaves the area at night. .

In the Golbaghi ​​region, Nawab Safavi speaks to the nomads about armed uprising and fighting against the Shah. One of the audience stood up and said: If you are telling the truth, cut off the evil of this cruel officer from our heads until it is the Shah’s turn, Nawab. He says: I sent him a message upon entering this area and I don’t think he will dare to stop in Noorabad while I am here. If you don’t agree, go and ask. When they go to the checkpoint, they find out that the commander of the checkpoint has left the area at night.”

Nawab and revenge of an Englishman

Six months had not passed since Siddajtabi entered the oil company to work, when an Englishman attacked an Iranian worker and injured him. A meeting is held that night and they agree to gather at the refinery in the morning before starting work. Seyed starts to speak and says: Since we are Muslims and revenge is one of our essential commandments, either that Englishman should come here and apologize to this brother of ours in front of the crowd, or if he doesn’t do it, he will be beaten the same way. Or the same injury that he inflicted on him, we inflict on him.

Syed Nawab’s words had not yet ended when the angry workers went to the hall of that Englishman and vandalized it. The police intervened and the Englishman managed to escape. Several workers are arrested. Syed went to the house of one of his friends, and at night he left Abadan for Najaf by one of the barges.

devotees of Islam

Nawab was imprisoned by the Shah for some time, but after being released from prison, he thought of forming the devotees of Islam, in order to fight against the corrupt elements in the society, and announced the existence of the devotees of Islam by publishing a proclamation. Regarding the establishment of this Islamic organization, he says: In my dream, I saw my grandfather Seyyed al-Shohada, who tied an armband on my arm and wrote on it: “Islam devotees”.

Safavi wrote a book entitled “Islamic Society and Government” and published it in November 1329, stating the correct method of governance. He believes that global arrogance cannot be countered except by radical movement and strengthening of authentic Islamic culture in society. Following the letter of Amir al-Mu’minin Ali (AS) to Malik Ashtar, this Seyyed Mujahid explains the political principles of Islam to the people and warns the king and the usurpers of the government that if they do not implement the Islamic orders, they will be destroyed by the hands of the powerful and devoted children of Islam. .

The Safavid Nawab took steps to achieve the Islamic government and the establishment of the Quranic Medina of Ghadir and did not limit himself to the forms of the constitutional system. In addition to his teacher in Najaf Ashraf (Allameh Amini), he was chartered by Imam Khomeini (RA) in the seminary of Qom. He embraces the Islamic government and unreservedly tries to establish that holy system.

Nawab in the field of worship and prayers

Badr al-Sadat Ehtsham, the wife of the Safavid martyr Nawab, says about the Nawab’s devotional and mystical states: “When the gentleman worshiped, bowed and prostrated, he wept bitterly and found a strange mystical and spiritual state that surprised every viewer. He was often fasting, but he didn’t express it, sometimes he even hid it from me. Most of the time he fasted without breakfast. His night prayers were never abandoned, the sound of his Qur’an captivated every listener, and he never forgot the Ashura pilgrimage.

In December 1334, the Dezhkhim court sentenced the Safavid Nawab Siddajtabi and his three devoted companions to death. They will join the martyrdom on the 27th of the same month, according to the anniversary of the martyrdom of Hazrat Fatima Zahra (PBUH). At the time of martyrdom at the last moment of his life, he recited verses from the Holy Qur’an in a gentle tone and sounded the call to prayer and joined the heavens near the dawn. Martyrs are buried in Mesgarabad, when it is decided to make it a city park, it was transferred from Tehran to Qom at night and placed in Wadi al-Salam, and this is how the name of the great man who fought against the oppression of the Pahlavi regime will remain in the history of this border.
