Abdul-Mahdi al-Karbalai remarked that “The heroes who rushed to the battlefields and jeopardized their lives and sacrificed everything, in response to the call of the Marja’iah and in defense of honor and homeland and righteousness, they are almost like the companions of the father of the noble, Imam al-Hussein a.s.”
