*THE WINGS OF MY AWAKENING*
*How Shaheed Abbas Babaei Saved My Soul 🦅✨*
My name is Basije Zainul Abdin Hussain, and today marks the sacred martyrdom anniversary of the legendary Iran-Iraq war hero, General Shaheed Abbas Babaei—the man whose divine light completely rescued my existence from absolute darkness. A martyr is forever alive, and a martyr truly lends a helping hand to a human being in ways that shake the very depths of the soul.
