Unwithering Flames Book 6: Shaheed Hussein Shayesteh Far (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781922583567)

You were craving for departure. Your feet wouldn't settle down on earth. Your eyes would dream about the blue sky. You knew you would finally meet with the light since you folded your impatience among your bodily pains. You remained patient. The pain would adorn you. The distance would make you fall into a deeper love. Your wounds would turn you into a mystic, and you would remain patient. To you, the earth was but a trifle. You were craving. You knew the sky was near, so near.

"Among the faithful are men who fulfill what they have pledged to Allah. Of them are some who have fulfilled their pledge, and of them are some who still wait, and they have not changed in the least." (Quran 33:23)

This series of books entitled Unwithering Flames recounts stories of those men and women who, in the events of the Islamic Revolution and the Iraq war against Iran, turned away from this world just for the sake of God. In doing so, they became lovers in the true sense. They had the type of love that did not just make the pain of this world bearable, instead it was something beautiful for them. The love whose flame has not dimmed even with martyrdom or death.
