Memories of Morteza Alviri
In the first days of the victory of the revolution, the province of Kurdistan was in turmoil and there was a chaotic situation there.

We also sent an armed group there to deal with the counter-revolution. Some were also sent to Kurdistan by Mr. Rafiqdoost.Top Secret Announcements
At night, they brought the leaflets by a car. There were three sugar sacks of fifty to sixty kilos full of leaflets. In addition to the leaflet, there were tapes in the sacks that had been brought from Lebanon. I was allowed to read some of the leaflets, but I was not allowed to read some of the leaflets which were wrapped and tied with a red thread. They said these announcements are top secret.Post-Revolution Activities (Winter 1979)
Part of Mulla Saleh Qari Memoirs
People visited the center every day, and the room was always crowded. Everyone arrived for help or made a request. Ali, my other friends and I helped them, including providing construction materials, land, job, or even marriage loans, etc, according to the priority of the needs.

With the formation of this foundation, tasks were done in an administrative and coherent routine.A Narrative of Public Movement of June 5 1963
There is a story about Grand Mosque of Shiraz, in which most of June 5 events happened, that I like to note before addressing memories of June 5, 1963. The current director of bureau of Education who had intended to restore the mosque, started it in 1944. But when he evaluated impairment of the mosque, he concluded it would be better destroy the mosque totally and take its bricks to Kazeroon in order to build schools.A Different Walking
One day we were at my fathers house; after having lunch, Ahmad suggested let us go home together. I asked in surprise, “why now? You have a debate, do not you? Also, we were supposed to be here for the dinner, and most importantly, we do not walk together in the street.” Those days in Qom, it was not customary for men, especially clerics, to walk on the street with their wives…A Memory by Iran Torabi about Meeting Imam Khomeini
There were heavy surgeries that night until morning. Some of the wounded of the air force got martyrdom, and some guards died too. I was busy delivering one of the operated when I heard shouting and cursing in the recovery room. A guard and an air force officer had lain down on the stretcher, and were waiting for surgery. The guard had a medal around his neck supposed to be for the guards, and the Air Force officer recognized it.Maid; Take off Your Headscarf!
We used to buy drinking water from a carter and store it in big buckets, but we had to use water from the pond for washing. The well and the pond were in a corner of the yard. The house had many rooms. When we opened the door of the room, it got cold quickly. We always used Korsi at the end of autumn. At night, our house was lit by the light of an oil lamp or a petromax.The Temporary Grave

I participated in the demonstration for the first time on Tuesday, August 30, 1977 (the 14th of the holy month of Ramadan). In the morning, I heard people had gathered in front of house of Ayatollah Sayyid Abdullah Shirazi. My brother and I went to Naderi Crossroad with the intention of joining the people.

Passing the River
The length of the pillar that had flowed down from the pass in the darkness approximated one kilometer. Heavy gun and the individual equipment had tired everyone. From time to time, the warriors raised their heads in the darkness and stared at the high summit of Gamo, which was standing in front of them.

Operation Beit al-Moqaddas and Liberation of Khorramshahr
After Operation Fat’h al-Mobin, we traveled to Kermanshah and visited Sar-e-Pol-e-Zahab before heading to Ilam. During Operation Beit al-Moqaddas, the 27th Brigade was still receiving support from the West. We maintained contact with individuals who had previously worked in Area 7 and were now leading the brigade. It was through these connections that I learned about Operation Beit al-Moqaddas.Memoirs of Hujjat al-Islam Reza Motalebi

Such refinement is only possible through the feedback we receive from others. Consider, for instance, a basketball player whose shots are consistently accurate; should he begin shooting blindfolded, his success rate would rapidly decline, as he would be deprived of essential feedback from each attempt.Sir Saeed
