A personality like that of Lieutenant Hajj Qassim Soleimani is a great and exceptional one, especially for young people, who consider this leader a role model, in a critical time in which role models have become trivial & worthless Hollywood-styled ones.

This year, coinciding with the fourth anniversary of the sinful assassination of Sardar Soleimani, I decided to be in Kerman.  This was during the brutal, dirty, and cowardly terrorist act that targeted his dedicated lovers.

I left my homeland, which is under a brutal Zionist aggression, and I headed to Kerman.  I wanted to pledge to the distinguished leader, who supported the Lebanese and Palestinian resistance, that I would follow his lofty path, the righteous path of serving the resistance.

A promise in the presence of Allah’s saints is not an absurd promise, but rather a promise heard by angels.  It is a promise that obliges the revolutionary person who makes it to adhere to it & act upon it because it is a sacred role performed by a great divine figure such as Hajj Qassim Soleimani and the martyrs of Kerman.

The terrorists and their godfathers thought that through their terrorist acts they could terrorize people, but I insisted on reaching that holy place.

As a young Lebanese woman and a humble journalist with a short experience in media, I draw strength from Hajj Qassim Soleimani (R).  I draw determination from this blessed personality who sold the worldly pleasures, gave up positions, titles, designations, and addresses, everything in order to be in the service of humanity, in order to fight a Takfiri terrorist enemy created by the U.S. and Israel.

Hajj Qassim Soleimani is an international leader who we owe a lot.  Indeed, we are indebted to Hajj Qassim Soleimani.  We are indebted for everything he gave us here in West Asia, especially in Lebanon.  We do not deny his great merit in supporting, hardening, empowering, strengthening and supplying the resistance with all possible means to deter the Zionist entity usurping the land of Palestine and some of the Lebanese & Syrian lands.

Before Hajj Qassim, I did not ask for anything except that he assist me to follow his path, to follow his steps, to be honest in my work and in performing my duty, and to be fearless, solid, courageous, strong and steadfast, offering everything I have in the war against the hateful imperialism for the sake of my nation and humanity.

Before Hajj Qassem, I wished for one thing: to be on the path of resistance, the path of the martyrs, the path of heroism, the path of defending humanity & the oppressed.  What I asked from Hajj Qassem Soleimani is that he helps me carry out this mission & work hard in order to serve every legitimate cause.

While we are living today in an aggressive war, led by the brutal, hypocritical, barbaric American administration against the peoples of Lebanon and Palestine, we remember Hajj Qassem.  We remember Hajj Qassem because he was the one who strengthened the foundation of this resistance in order to be able to defeat this Zionist army, “the spider’s web,” which was said time and time again to be an “the invincible army.”  Hajj Qassem Soleimani has turned it into a humiliated army.

As Hajj Qasim has taught us, revolutionaries do not reach such a high status of martyrdom unless they live like martyrs, defending the truth and the oppressed.
