The Sacred Defense and Its Spiritual Outcomes
Say: “Do you await for us but one of two most excellent things? (Martyrdom or Victory) And we await for you that Allah will afflict you with punishment from Himself or by our hands. So wait; we too will wait with you”. (The Holy Quran, Surah Al-Taubah, Verse 52) One of the main tasks of the manager of an organization is decision-making. Every manager usually faces such situations in which he has to make an important decision. Decision-making is the main pivot of management on which the other pillars of the management process rely.
A Note on Iran’s Sacred Defense by Dr. Mohammad Mahdi Esmaili,
Even though speaking of Sacred Defense and martyrdom, the realm of men of courage and bravery, is a great challenge, it involves insight. The Sacred Defense proved the valuable capacities of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, which have left their image in the mind and soul of several generations of the people of Iran. As stated by the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, “the outcomes of the eight years of Sacred Defense were not just confined to a particular period of time; they are enormous treasures that our nation can use and derive lessons from. The gigantic event of these eight years resulted in the emergence of a collection of high capabilities, desirable and lofty cultural values, extraordinary beliefs and knowledge that our nation had inherited in the course of history or had attained the required talent for it and surfaced with the advent of the Islamic Revolution.”
Dr. Abouzar Ebrahimi Torkaman’s* Views on Divine Love and Self Sacrifice
“Sacrifice is the manifestation of divine love and cannot be perceived by the intellect” We must convey the message of the spirit of faith and struggle and the message of the invincibility of the Iranian nation to the world through the translation of written works, works of art, and producing films on the Sacred Defense. (Ayatollah Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran)

It is very difficult for a person who is stuck in the affairs of this world and attached to his belongings to understand the beauty of the hidden treasures of the heavens, and any migration that would mean cutting off from this world is very frightening for him. But for those who have liberated themselves from the clutches of worldly desires, migration (death for the cause of Allah the Almighty) is not equal to annihilation (ولا تحسبن الذین قتلوا فی سبیل الله امواتا بل احیاء), and rather it means eternal life with endless beauty (ما رایت الا جمیلا).

The Role of Iranian Women in the Sacred Defense
Introduction Historical texts often speak of the status of women in the harems of Iranian kings and the influence of western and eastern women, or the so-called intellectuals, on social change. However, the Iranian women who participated in the Gribayedov incident, the tobacco movement, the constitutional movement, the uprising against the compulsory unveiling of hijab, and the uprising of July 20, 1952, etc. were the mass of Muslim women who abided by the orders of the Maraaje’ (religious authorities) and set foot on the battlefield in order to perform their religious and divine duties
