I find these memorable days of the Sacred Defense (during Sacred Defense Week) a good opportunity to send our greetings to the dear martyrs and to honor their pure souls.
Martyrs are guiding stars. They are eternal role models for all of us and for the generations to come. Their behavior is a lesson for us. Their motives were based on wisdom. We should hear their message correctly and benefit from it for our prosperity in this world, the Hereafter, and for all periods and generations.
May God’s and the Friends of God’s greetings be upon the dear martyrs.
