Glimpses from the life of Martyr General Qasem Soleimani

Glimpses from the life of Martyr General Qasem Soleimani presents a real life picture of this great resistance warfare hero of the modem military history against terrorism. He was the brave commander of Quds Force that courageously defeated extremist Daesh, ISIS, ISIL and other Wahhabi outfits – the human killing machines trained and fully supported by the hegemonic powers to create new Middle East. Martyr Qasem Soleimani possessed par excellence several inspiring human qualities that are nearly impossible to find together in one person. He was simultaneously a top military strategist, a courageous guerilla commander on ground, a very compassionate and tender-hearted father of thousands of orphaned kids, a mystical gnostic regularly reciting night prayers, a highly professional and realistic planner of military operations, a humble and friendly comrade and guide for his subordinates, a courageous and wise restorer of security in fighting with criminals, an obedient and loving son and responsible family member, a self-sacrificing servant of common people irrespective of their religion, a mountain of steadfastness against global terrorism, a beloved and dutiful follower of his Leader, a highly conscious human being restlessly performing his duties all the time and finally, a futuristic visionary of a just and peaceful human society. Martyr Soleimani took special care of the families of martyrs of the Holy Shrine. In addition, Martyr Soleimani had long time strong desire for martyrdom, he was an extraordinary lover of Ahlul Bayt (as) and had special attachment to Hazrat Fatima Zahra (sa). He used to regularly organize mourning ceremonies at his home Bayt Al-Zahra in Kerman city. It is hoped that this book will inspire readers and neutralize distorted media propaganda against this great hero of resistance and a great human being.
