May God’s mercy be upon this patient and pious lady. And may God’s mercy be upon that mujahid, a sincere and self-sacrificing young man, who continued his difficult jihad despite the excruciating pains that his loving wife endured. I deem it necessary to thank the children of these two honorable individuals as well.

In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
The youth of Hamedan are the youth of purity, love, and sincerity. They are great men without making any big claims. They are the companions of Hussein (greetings be upon him) and they are the defenders of God’s religion. Their mothers are creators of brave and patient men. And the environment is the environment of spirituality and deep understanding.
Their hearts are bright hearts, their determination is firm determination, and their insight and vigilance are supernatural. These characteristics and many other sweet, fresh words flow like a river from this sincere narration: this masterpiece has left joy in the hearts of enthusiastic readers, and fuels the fire of excitement within.
The narrator himself is a living martyr. His extremely exhausted body has failed to decrease the liveliness and vigilance of his heart. All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds because the writer himself is among the same veteran and ardent lovers.
May all of them enjoy the blessing of divine satisfaction, God willing.
What I have written about this book is too little. This writing deserves so much more. The introduction to the book is a ghazal (poem) in the real sense of the word.
Ayatollah Khamenei’s Commentary on the Book “The Eleventh Gulistan”
The following is the full text of the commentary on the book “The Eleventh Gulistan”, provided by the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution on January 10, 2017
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
This is an enthusiastic narration about an entirely pure jihadi, the sincere life of a man who achieved a position among great divine men in his early youth, and a man who achieved dignity on both earth and in heaven. May he enjoy that position.
The narrator--his partner during his short life--has clearly demonstrated honesty, sincerity, and purity in her innocent narration.
Besides, the artistic penmanship and writing of the author – which is imbued with a gift and talent – additionally, a fresh impetus has been exhibited beyond all of that. Well done to both ladies: both the narrator and the author.
