In the Quran, it is said that once Moses (pbuh) reached the sacred valley of Tawa (probably in Sinai Peninsula), God began to speak with him and called it a sacred place, where shoes should be taken off as a sign of respect. The author of "Barefoot in the Sacred Valley" sees Iranian fronts as the holy land, the valley of Tawa, where the distance between earth and sky decreases, where the shoes must be removed, just like Martyr Sayyid Hamid Mirafzali, the one about whom the book was written, the one who would walk barefoot on the soils and rocks of the fronts. He would show up whenever there was an operation. The war in the South or the West, he would be there. In the Operation Valfajir 4, he was severely wounded in the leg and eyes. That was why they sent him back to the city. To walk at home, he had to put his hand on the wall, but he tried to hide his injuries. The doctor's treatment worked and his eye recovered, he went back to the front for reconnaissance missions while he was in a bad shape. Mirafzali was experienced in such missions. He spent a long time reconnoitering Hur al-Azim bay before the Operation Kheibar and patrolled there for a while. This brought him an ever-lasting pain in the leg. He was a member of Sheikh Hadi Guerrilla headquarters. One of his strange deeds, which might be reminiscent of his guerrilla membership period, was that, in the midst of war, he went to visit Karbala, a pilgrimage town deep inside Iraq, with the aid of an Iraqi warrior. In the Operation Kheibar, since he knew the area well, he accompanied the forces. He became a victim of a chemical attack in the same operation. An Iraqi tank shell martyred both him and Martyr Hemmat while they were sitting on a motorcycle. His body arrived in Rafsanjan to be buried. A mourning crowd of people attended his funeral. This book depicts one of the most sincere Iranian military forces in the war, the one who once had nothing to do with the religion as a teenager, but suddenly changed and became one of the senior commanders of the war. He even looked for more people to recruit for the war whenever he visited his town.
