Fahimeh's Letters

Iranians are used to see a young woman walking in front of others and chanted slogans in the martyrs’ funeral processions. However, unlike the other times, she wore a white wedding chador. Later, people realized that the ceremony was for her husband and her name was Fahimeh Babaeianpour, a high school teacher. “Fahimeh’s Letters” is the title of a book collected from her letters to her husband in Iran-Iraq war. She, who remembers God all the time, reminds her husband repeatedly of the religious practices. She herself studies, teaches, gives speech in the martyrs’ anniversaries and the religious-cultural events. She is also engaged in the cultural activities in the mosques and helps with war logistics. Fahimeh is a teacher who is a good friend for her husband, reminding him of the real truth which can be easily seen in Gholamreza’s letters. This book, published in the early 1990s, has been one of the best-selling books in the area of the Holy Defense (Iran-Iraq war). This book consists of three parts; Nine letters of Fahimeh to Gholamreza, her warrior husband; Eight letters of Gholamreza to Fahimeh which consist of some information regarding the war fronts and his emotions for Fahimeh; and the third part, related to the time when Fahimeh, after her husband’s martyrdom, got married to Gholamreza’s younger brother, who was a Shia clergyman, and she encourages him to go to the front lines; this part includes 18 letters of Fahimeh to Alireza.
