According to rahyafte (the missionaries and converts website): Dr. Mustafa Chamran was born in 1933 in Tehran. After graduating with a degree in Electro mechanics from Tehran University, he started to teach in that University. At the same time, in 1959, he was given a scholarship for top students. After much scientific research among the most famous scientists around the world in a California university, he took a doctorate in plasma physics and electronics. Because of his Islamic activities in America, the scholarship was discontinued by the king of Iran. Then he went to Egypt to learn guerrilla tactics. After that he goes to the Lebanese to teach guerrilla to Iranian soldiers.
Dr. Chamran saw himself as a common peasant, who would work and toil to please the almighty, he loved his fellow beings, he could not bear the sufferings of the poor and less fortunate, if ever he would spot a beggar, he would get out of his car and wrap his arms against him and in tears would tell him it was alright, he gave huge alms to the poor. He could not stand injustice that was one of the reasons that he left US and went to Lebanon. He rose up to the cries of his Muslim brothers. He did not fear death, he would say “cowards die many times before their death; it’s the brave that dies just once”.
Imam Musa Sadar had opened 4 industries in Lebanon in just 4 years , just to help the country come out of the economical crunch, he also opened many centers so as to increase the commercial development in Lebanon , and the biggest among them was called “ jable amil tech. Institution” it mostly employed the younger youth, and helped the destitute , the poor and the orphaned children, mostly those who had lost their parents in the war against Israel. Dr. Chamran was appointed as the principal of this center , Dr Chamran would sleep after all the children had gone to bed , he took care of them as his own , he at times would even do their dishes, this work didn’t make him feel small , but it made him feel so connected to his Almighty . He remained there for 8 years.
Dr Chamran in his book Lebanon says;
“This institution was our center, our military headquarters’, our training camp, and also our Home”
Martyr Chamran was a pious man, he always served his religion, he would always say that “THE SAYINGS OF IMAM ALI ARE THE SAYINGS OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD (s.a.w.w) AND THE SAYINGS OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD ARE THE SAYINGS OF THE HOLY QURAN”.
He found peace of mind and soul while praying, he would pray till late nights and would sleep after all but yet he was the first one to come to pray in the morning , said one of his students. His wife would always see him waking up at midnight and praying , tears would flow like steams down his face. He did everything to please Allah (s.w.t) . he did not long for the riches of the world he said they were are fake he longed for the love of God.
He was always true to his religion , even when he was in the Tehran Univ. there were so many propagations against Islam yet he chose to be a member in the Islamic students Union.
Imam Ali (a.s) in the Nahjulbalagha says: “Verily the heart of a youth is like an empty land, It accepts whatever seed’s are grown in it”
Martyr Chamran was a firm believer and follower of Imam Ali (a.s), whenever in an argument he would prove his say by quoting the sayings of Imam Ali (a.s) and that proved satisfying to all, his sermons lectures and notes all had an element of Imam Ali (a.s) teachings in them.
Finally he returned to Iran after the revolution. He used all his scientific and revolutionary experience to reconstruction his country. After some time, Islamist militants led by doctor Chamran managed to retake Kurdistan (one of the states of Iran) from Iraqis. After that Doctor was appointed to the Department of Defense. Doctor Chamran organized group of volunteer soldiers. This team did a great service for example Military roads built quickly. As a result of this action Ahvas was released. He attained Martyrdom on the 21st of June 1981 during war, in a village in Iran.
Its these tradgies that baffle the writer, and cripples the hand of a poet, tradgeis that reveal that those who die live Eternally and those who face disgrace rise in dignity and honor.
