Tehran, SAEDNEWS: “Greetings to all the guards. God willing, you will always be victorious. Continue your good activities with power,” Ayatollah Khamenei wrote in his congratulatory message on the occasion of the Guard’s Day.
The Guard’s Day falls on the 3rd of the lunar month of Sha’ban coinciding with the birth anniversary of the Third Imam of Shia Muslims, Imam Hossein (PBUH). Imam Hossein made the greatest ever sacrifices in the battle of Karbala on the 10th day of the lunar month of Moharram on the year 61 AH (October 10, 680 AD).
The Islamic Republic of Iran has named Imam Hossein’s birthday as the Guard’s Day to suggest the fact that the IRGC force should follow this infallible Imam as its role model in defending Islam and the lofty values of the Islamic Revolution (Source: Fars News).
