The news was shocking, unbelievable and devastating. Anger and tears did not spare me for a moment. I inquired, unfortunately the news was true, Hossein Parsajo, a living and selfless martyr and a well-known name of the revolution and holy defense, passed away after three decades of non-stop, dedicated and painful efforts, leaving his dear family and friends to mourn.
This kind, Rauf and painful heart calmed down at a time when he was carrying out his responsibilities, trying and holding successive meetings in connection with activating and organizing the basic affairs of IRGC retirees.
Organizing the affairs of the pensioners was a big concern and the last task and responsibility that Hossein took on, like all the previous tasks and responsibilities, very seriously, he followed it with love and motivation, and he was thirsty and in a hurry to do it, and this is completely new for us. He didn’t have it, because we have always seen him so diligent and motivated.
Hossein Parsajo’s activities and sacrifices over three decades are countless. Those who knew him closely, know very well that this is not a misplaced definition and an exaggerated claim.
Hussain’s services and efforts are countless, and I testify to God that I am not able to list them all, so I apologize to his great soul that this weak pen is not able to include them all, and I know well that I cannot do him justice in this brief list. I will do my best, but I have no doubt that all the services and efforts of Hossein are in the sight of Almighty God He has a huge record, honor and reward, and all those efforts today are his burden in the hereafter.
All the friends who know Hossein testify today that his efforts were always honest, sincere, non-advertising, loving and painful, and therefore, even in this humble capacity, I am trying to point out only some of his characteristics and describe in detail. I will postpone his life for another time.
Friends, death is a right and it can come to any of us at any moment; Therefore, what has made me and others like me mourn Hussain, is not only related to his physical death, but the presence of many characteristics that were in him.
Friends, it is not important how long we live, what is important is how much good work and more importantly how much moral work we do for religion and the world of people and this was what was in Hossein’s being.
Another characteristic of Hossein was that he was a full-view mirror and a clear example of “the generation of unassuming and fussy men”. He who had understood the difficult days of orphanhood in his childhood with all his heart, he who had the wound of the war in his body and chest, spent almost a decade of his blessed life with all sincerity and non-stop and painfully in the service of martyrs, veterans and noble families. They said that his story is long, memorable and very praiseworthy, and I hope that other knowledgeable friends will give a detailed description of it at the appropriate time.
Another characteristic of Hossein Parsajo, who served in many positions and responsibilities for three decades, was his clean and simple life. The whole life of this great man, who among various responsibilities, was always a volunteer, all of which was the arduous responsibility of serving the martyrs, veterans, retirees, etc., he was almost equal to an ordinary employee of this time, and all his important property and capital was a single house. He lived there with his family. He had the same from all of this world and today he rests next to those to whom he dedicated the best days of his youth. That is, the parents of the martyrs of this border and land and this neighborhood is the same move that God had already made for him, and this in itself is a strange mystery.
All those who knew Hussain and lived with him know very well that he followed up and fulfilled every responsibility he took on with unparalleled seriousness. Among his friends, Sabr Hossein’s patience was exemplary, his smile was comforting and his quotes were charming. He never talked about his pains and always sought to cure the pains of others, and only if you understood him well and paid close attention, you could only find out his long-standing sorrows buried in his chest in the beautiful and sad sound of the Quran and his supplications; The untold sorrows, the sorrows of orphanhood, the sorrows of lost friends, doing as much as possible the responsibilities that God had given him and the sorrows that he carried with him forever.
Hossein had an extremely kind heart; He is kind to everyone and especially to his family. I realized this at night and during the days when we were traveling together and we talked about various issues in the same room until morning. I remember that during one of the trips, we spent several nights together in the same room, talking about memories and various topics. He called his only daughter on his cell phone. He talked to him and asked about the successful exam he had given.
The tone of his words was so calm and kind, tender and lovely that I felt that he loved his little girl infinitely and missed her; Therefore, when I heard the news of Hossein’s death, the first scene that came to my mind was the conversation of a kind father with his daughter who loved and missed her very much. That’s why my heart trembled and my tears flowed.
And now I don’t know what painful moments Hossein’s little girl will spend without a father like him from now on? I can only wish him patience and consider myself always a partner in his grief, and also ask God Almighty for great patience for his dear wife and two dear sons, and ask God to bless us with Imam Hussain (a.s.), the martyrs and Imam May the martyrs be buried.
Comrade of Sardar Parsajo
You must know that I also met Hossein in the Front Martyrs’ Cooperative. He was always smiling and always calm. He was hardworking and tireless. Despite him, no martyr remains on earth. He was in charge of the Revolutionary Guards Cooperation Foundation and Khatam Headquarters. His reports in the camp meetings always caused the commanders to worry, because every time there was news that a certain commander or a certain fighter was martyred or the number of martyrs was so much. Hossein was a treasure of secrets. He knew well about the prisoners and their condition. He was well aware of the areas where the martyrs fell on the ground . Hossein used to say that the hardest time for me is when I want to inform the parents of a child’s martyrdom or to inform a wife about her husband’s martyrdom. After the war, I saw him many times, he was thin. But he still had a smile on his face. Remember him and be with the martyrs
