A message that shook the heart of the martyr's mother! / Mustafa to his mother: Dear, make your son halal / The boy who took his needs from Imam Hussain (AS) in the middle of Sha'ban

Shahid's father says: "No matter what I think, I can't find any weakness in Shahid Mustafa." Narration of Martyr Mustafa Gharib's parents from a text message that came a year before his martyrdom.

Eastern Jihad and Resistance Service - In the morning of June 23, 1404, the Zionist air force started a 12-day war by attacking several points throughout Iran. In these attacks, nuclear facilities and scientists, military bases, and residential areas were targeted, which led to the martyrdom of a number of soldiers, scientists, and civilians.

Note: The leader of the Martyr of the Revolution said in some thought-provoking sentences in one of his meetings with the families of the martyrs:

"When a martyr is martyred, the moment of martyrdom is his first comfort, but for his parents and wife, it is the first time of their suffering. When the martyr leaves this world, he is a guest of God himself in the supreme kingdom, God himself provides his sustenance, his first comfort is; but what about the father, what about the mother, what about the wife? When they hear that their loved one has been martyred, their suffering only begins there, it does not end; People forget many things in this way, when they read the books written about the martyrs, those who watch them from afar do not understand this suffering Gives greatness.

Every martyr is a narrative; But the narrative of his parents is another story. They not only gave their child as a gift, but also left a part of themselves in a way that, according to them, was a "divine trust". In this interview, we went to the family of Shahid Gharib to hear from their own words: about his childhood, about his passing, about the news that came and about the patience that still continues. An interview that shakes the heart and strengthens the will to read.

Here is the first part of Mashreq's exclusive interview with the parents of martyr Mustafa Gharib:

Martyr Mustafa's birth and childhood from Gorgan to Tehran

In the name of Allah, the Merciful. I am the mother of martyr Mustafa Gharib. When I was pregnant with these kids, the ultrasound didn't show twins. The first child was Mustafa Shahid, who was born on 7 April 1974, then the second child was Mojtaba. We took Mustafa home, put Mojtabi in the machine. It was eight and a half months since they were born.

For the naming, Haj Agha said that I will name the first one Mustafa, and you can name the second one whatever you want. We said yes, Mojtaba. At that time we were in the city, we were in Gorgan. Mojtaba was in the machine for ten days. Mustafa also took him to the hospital six days later, they said his blood should be changed, his jaundice was high. After a few days, we brought Mojtabi to my mother's house and stayed there for forty days, with many stories about where we got the blood and what happened. After forty days, we went to a rented place. It was very difficult for me, I was saying to myself, how can I raise two children? We also had a daughter, with the special sensitivity of mothers. But both of these babies were calm.

Little by little they grew up. They were so similar, it was very difficult to tell them apart. They slowly grew up and spent their preschool in the same Gorgan, it was in the same year that we went to Hajj Umrah.

When we returned from Hajj, we had a ceremony as soon as we arrived and after some time we packed our things to come to Tehran because of my wife's job. It had been a week since we came to Tehran. We immediately took them to school to register and attend. They were not in shape yet, they were wearing normal clothes.

One of their friends, who is now a student and came to our house with a group after learning about Mustafa's martyrdom, told us that we said to ourselves at that time, what are these two children who came from the city, what are they trying to do here against the children of Tehran, and they are certainly nothing. However, our children slowly read the Quran, sang hymns, and did cultural activities. I always said to God: My children are in a place where this school is good, I really wanted it to be religious. These were very important to me. Their prayers or the like. Their father used to talk to them a lot when they reached the age of responsibility.

Of course, I must also say that from the very beginning these children were Imam Hosseini and they used to sing "Ya Hossein" to themselves, "I am a beggar, I am a beggar of Hossein" with the same childish tone and Haj Agha recorded their voices.

firm steps; A narrative of the years of maturity and thought in high school

Then we went to Payam Ghadir for high school. As soon as they left, they saw the children, they saw us, they accepted these things. But they said they have to take an exam. They passed their exams and went to high school. Thank God, the high school also worked a lot with the children, in terms of Ashura pilgrimage, tavasil prayer, and having a Tawasheeh group. They used to organize Nahjul-Balagha contests for mothers, and I also participated. In addition to them, both of our sons had also memorized Surah Al-Hujrat by themselves, and they each won a bicycle. Their lessons were also very good. For example, there was a distance of half a mark between them. The school authorities were very satisfied with them.

Then, when high school ended and it was time for the entrance exam, I said, "My God, my children are twins, they are very close to each other, if one wasn't there, the other one would be very restless." This is how the university was accepted together in Garmsar. Shahid Mustafa Civil Engineering and his brother also accepted oil. They had made many friends in the university because of their good manners, and they did cultural activities in the university on the advice of their father.

Lottery of two brothers to go to the army

For their enlistment, Haj Agha said that both of you should think. Because Haj Agha had a front, but both of them could not use it, and one of them had to go to the army. They came and drew lots for enlistment. Agha Mustafa, his name is income for the military. Between themselves, they put names in the Quran. Then they told their father that we drew lots. This is how Agha Mustafa went to the army, and Mojtabi was also attracted to his workplace, and practically his father's front did not work for him either.

Mustafa was also very worried. He always said, "Mom, pray for me so that I can find a job that matches my beliefs." He went to several accounting jobs, but he did not like their environment. For example, because of this Imran also went to several places with the children and in the end he said no. For example, he had vowed to walk 150 vertical feet on the Arbaeen walk barefoot in order to prepare for the job he wanted. After the gap was over, he started to continue his studies and was accepted at the University of International Relations.

It had been six months since he continued his education that he applied for the army again, and this time after some time he was called that he had to come for a medical test and an interview, and that's how he entered the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

co-borns of the same destiny; From childhood sympathies to the heat of Hijran

I am the father of martyr Mustafa Gharib. Regarding the issues that Mrs. Haj Khanum said, I would like to give you two points. They said that these were identical twins. I remember when I was a child, because whenever one of them was sick, the doctor we went to was a doctor, may God have mercy on them, now they are dead, he used to tell us why you didn't bring the second one? We were saying why? He said that it will definitely get sick too.

That is, they were very close to each other. Now let me say that these were really very close in every way. And perhaps Agha Mustafa's martyrdom is affecting his brother more than anything else.

the roots of faith; A look at the impact of home and living environment

We can't have an impression that just because our family was religious, these are religious burdens, or the sensitivities that were in our home. I remember the sentence that Haj Khanum said regarding Imam Hussain (a), that is, when Mustafa was still speechless, they expressed their love for Imam Hussain (a) in their childhood.

Martyr Mustafa's wife also says this, that when they went to sleep at night, they looked at the idea that before going to sleep, you should have a trust or appeal to one of the innocents. Maybe they got this essence of being religious from their family, but the environment they lived in now and the desire they had, was very influential in my opinion.

Haj Khanum said that, for example, two city children came to Tehran, and after a while they showed themselves there, almost the main cultural work of the same elementary school was that they did the reading of the Quran, hymns, and other issues. Therefore, the environment was influential, the family was also influential, in my opinion they were also very willing, and Alhamdulillah they continued this way with trust in the innocents until they reached the point where they were placed in the atmosphere of the high school. And that, Alhamdulillah, I saw the role of my child there, what a very active role they played and they were famous.

Apart from the fact that cultural work and the issues of revolution, system and Islam were in their minds, the discussion of their studies was also exemplary. I told Haj Khanum just today that I wish I had gone and taken their academic records from the different courses they were taking exams for. I mean, sometimes we used to see their report cards and we would argue for half a mark, Dad, why didn't it get 20 instead of 19 and a half? Not to criticize, but we were asking how did it happen? And the interesting thing is that both of them were ranked with almost half a point or less in their class, not in averages but only in the class, in the average of maybe one percent, they were supposed to be first or second or third. Alhamdulillah and finally a similar situation happened there. Well, thank God that they were also willing.

In my opinion, besides the argument that now the house and the environment in which they grew up, they often dealt with religious people, they also showed more willingness in these cases. The friends they chose were good friends. Now, one of my concerns in the society is that if a person can find a good friend, a good like-minded person who can have a positive effect on a person, we will not lose.

search for service; A narrative from cultural effort to the path of guarding

After the children graduated from high school, Alhamdulillah, they took the entrance exam in the first year, and both of them were accepted to Garmsar State University. Martyr Mustafa Imran and his brother Naft were also accepted there. Alhamdulillah, just like what the lady said, it seems that the university was silent and blind in cultural discussions, and when they went there with their friends and the group they were with, they started a movement at the university, which then the university itself gave a delegation, went to perform programs in the city, and they actually started the main structure of that Basij and Islamic Association and that delegation there. Now the friends we had relations with later mentioned the same thing, that they were really influential people.

I remember that Martyr Mustafa, who was engaged in the service of the Ministry of Defense, was also mentioned as a Quranic person. In spite of the fact that they were soldiers, they were very helpful to the soldiers and brought several prizes and such things in the Qur'an meetings at the level of cadres, which indicated that they were really active there as well.

About being in the Corps, without us saying a single word of praise or encouragement, he must go to the Corps, he himself insisted that I want to join the Corps. I talked to him and said, Dad, in the system of the Islamic Republic, you must not be a security guard, for example, your service must be accepted and pleased by God. Now suppose you had a shop at all, in this shop if you could sell your clothes supposedly cheaply, have good manners, treat customers well, if even a weak person comes and arrest you, then this is a guard in the house of God himself. We need all kinds of good people in our communities right now, in all occupations. It is not necessary to be in the army.

Despite the fact that I really wanted to become a member of the army, but I did not express it. In addition, as the lady said, because they were active in the community, they were present in the discussions of the election funds, and there they had met good friends, and their recruitment was in some departments, in other parts of the country, which were not too far from the IRGC in terms of finances and maybe even culture, but in terms of finances, at least there was a big difference.

Alhamdulillah, he was later recruited and the work assigned to him was impressive, and some of his officials expressed that they were very satisfied with his work. I also thank God that he was able to serve effectively at least for the time he served. Even now, his friends come and praise him, not in the sense that he has become a martyr, but honestly apart from that. It was excellent in terms of ethics and behavior. Now he is popular among his friends.

clean roots; A story of eulogy and a happy ending

This point that I mentioned to you in the cultural discussion, we actually came from Golestan province, and in Tehran we also have relations with families in our province. Well, since kindergarten, then elementary school, and then high school, whenever they went to our province, a group of 500, 600 people would gather in a place called Zainabiyah, which is used for ceremonies.

That is, it shows that the context of his religiousness was earlier, they also had that ability and pure nature. And this process continued until the end of the work, which ended with the martyrdom of Mr. Mustafa, which is an honor for us as a martyr family. God willing, may God appreciate us so that we can maintain this honor.

Question about Mustafa's friends in different periods of life

Four or five of them are actually their friends, who were in contact with each other from the past and we are still related as a family. These are one or two of them who have been friends since elementary school and continue to be friends since middle school, Alhamdulillah, they are also very religious and good people and influential in the society around them. After they came, they became more friends in high school. In the university, there are six-seven friends who interact a lot. Alhamdulillah, this connection exists, I still see them as my own sons, because they are really lovely. Even now, we sometimes see them, for example, we ask a question, what was the dream you had, they have a story in their own world. That is, since their education, in the society, elsewhere, this has been the case. Now they have that relationship with us and Mustafa Shahid.
