“Mehr Fatemi” brought veiled women together/ Renewal of vows of women wearing hijab

Life group: The seats of Azadi Stadium are hosting women this time. Women who are going to renew their covenant with their tent once again and tie the strings of their hearts to the hijab they are wearing. I roll my eyes, the seats are almost full in Azadi Stadium with 12,000 seats. The gathering of women in the frame of their black tents and green yazahra flags in their hands presents a beautiful image to the eyes of every viewer. It doesn’t matter if they are old or young, young or old, everyone has come to say that they will inherit the legacy of Hazrat Zahra (PBUH) as much as they can. Even if one day the arrogant people of history forcibly remove the veil from their heads, years later they will raise a generation that will stand with authority today in the veil and say that their choice is the Fatimid way!

When Hazrat Zahra (pbuh) calls us

I find a place and sit on a chair. A young girl is sitting next to me. He begins to feel my gaze on his tent, “25 years have passed, but he has been with me for only a few years.” He says his tent! As he said, they are new friends, but the depth of their friendship is so deep that they will never be separated! From the past, when he wants to say, a smile sits on the corner of his lips; “I didn’t know what a hijab was at all!” If I saw a woman wearing a hijab at that time, I would have made fun of her. Especially if it was summer. I said, what is wrong with this tent that they tolerate it like this in this heat! My ears were filled with the fact that the girl should be beautiful and fashionable. But at what price?! Who was I spending this beauty on?! For myself? for God? Or for people’s eyes?!

His voice is lost among the crowd, among the sayings of Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.). I bring my ear closer and he repeats louder, “I was saying that I wasn’t like that to suddenly transform and get from those types to what you see now!” Like all young girls, I was quick to disagree and take a stand when it came to hijab. It took a long time for this friendship to deepen.” He looks at his surroundings and at the people who have come today to defend their hijab and says: “I believe that everyone who wears this hijab was the will of Hazrat Zahra (PBUH)!” Hazrat Zahra (pbuh) is calling us, all of us. “Sometimes we pretend not to hear, but maybe one day we will hear and change.”

We are proud of you for being the thorn in the enemy’s side!

I sat on the same chair and listened to the speech of Sardar Hassanzadeh, commander of Mohammad Rasulullah’s Army. Sardar’s words have a special sweetness, especially for the younger ones and teenage girls, who feel the sweetness of these words in their hearts, and this can be easily understood from their excited eyes. A few teenage girls who are in my line of sight get up and stand a little further. They are distracted by the speech of Sardar Hassanzadeh who says: “If nuclear scientists are assassinated because they are the embodiment of the power of the Islamic Revolution. Even today, if we see a heavy attack against hijab and chastity, and the enemies talk about your precious values, because your hijab and chastity are the manifestation of the Islamic revolution. We are proud of you for being a thorn in the side of the enemies of the revolution.” These words immediately inject a huge amount of pride into our veins and cool our souls in this summer heat! My eyes are still looking for girls. Their faces come to life and their eyes sparkle. They hold their tents tighter and repeat Sardar’s words to each other: “Children, he meant us. We are as important as nuclear scientists for the country! Sardar said this. Happiness runs in their faces!

I stand next to them. Three friends who have come to Azadi Stadium from different places. They are about 11 or 12 years old and they have their own definition of hijab and they say: “We are pearls, we should be in the shell!” What colorful clothes? Don’t you want to be seen in beautiful and glamorous clothes instead of tents?! I ask this. Maybe I want to challenge them a little. I throw a stone in the sea of ​​their hearts to measure the depth of this thought. One of them raises an eyebrow and says in the same cute tone, “Who said we don’t wear nice clothes?! We wear them at home and in girls’ gatherings.” I ask again, don’t you get warm with a tent?! He stands far away from his friends. In order for his voice to reach my ears, he says loudly: “We are getting hot. But this is jihad itself! It means we are trying for Islam. Our teacher said this.” He shrugs his shoulders and continues, “Just now, Sardar said that he is proud of us and that we are valuable!” I will not give an answer to this present and their slanderous words! I say goodbye and say, little ladies, your friendship with your tent is eternal.

This is a gift for you, lady!

The sound of familiarity is playing in the stadium. A few moments later, everyone hums the commander’s greeting. But the children want to shout and sing. It’s as if they want to show off their love for Imam Zaman (A.S.) with the loudness of their voices. Today they are going to swear allegiance to Chador and to Imam Zaman (AS)! Seeing young mothers who came with their small children among this crowd of several thousand people has its own sweetness. My gaze is drawn towards a mother and a daughter. He is 5 years old. He tied his scarf under his chin and hugged his doll, who wears hijab like himself! I will go and spend a few words as a guest of this mother and daughter. I talk to this little lady about her beauty and her doll, but she hides behind her mother’s tent and doesn’t say anything. His mother says: “His father bought him this doll. Every year, my wife buys me a gift on this day and thanks me for wearing hijab and keeping it in any situation. “We usually give each other simple gifts, but my wife tries to prepare a gift for this special day that will make me really happy.” She points to her daughter and continues: “Mahiya became interested in hijab with this behavior of her father and always says that my mother wants to wear a headscarf like you. Because my daughter has been wearing a headscarf outside the house for some time, her father bought this doll as a gift for Mahia this year, and that’s why she loves her doll so much.”

I promise to protect your tent!

The ceremony has reached the final station and everyone is supposed to whisper a covenant together and make a pledge to be the guardian of the hijab like Hazrat Fatimah, peace be upon her. Sentences flow on the tongues, the small hands of the children are raised to make a covenant with Imam Zaman (AS), the hearts of the elders tremble and tears flow from the faces. “We, the daughters and mothers of the pure and glorious land of Iran, in the presence of God Almighty and in the presence of the Holy Qur’an and by seizing the opportunity and capacity that the Islamic Revolution created in the growth and excellence of self-belief and free-thinking, with the present guardian, the authority of God, Hazrat Waliasr” Aj) and his rightful deputy, Imam Khamenei, we agree: obeying the authority of the jurist in all aspects and paying attention to the recommendations of His Holiness to women in his statements and letters are considered as the starting point of the movement towards the realization of the emergence and formation of a new Islamic civilization, and in this way he does not give up any effort. Let’s not do it.”
