Hezbollah Official Emphasizes Martyrdom as Defense of Truth

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, Sheikh Naim Qassem, the Deputy Secretary-General of Hezbollah, began his address on Martyrs’ Day by welcoming attendees and outlining his speech into two segments: one dedicated to martyrs and the other to political matters.

Qassem stated that martyrdom is a source of pride, honor, success, and the attainment of the highest ranks. He identified its fundamental purpose as the safeguarding and defense of truth. The Hezbollah official added, “Martyrdom is by the command of Almighty God and a guidance for the benefit of humanity, as victory and triumph are achieved through it.”

Referencing Ahmad Qasir, Sheikh Naim Qassem remarked, “We designated the day of your martyrdom, Ahmad Qasir, as Martyrs’ Day because your deed was great and served as an excellent model for martyrdom operations.” He further clarified, “O Ahmad Qasir, you drew inspiration from the late Imam Khomeini and followed the path of the martyred Imam Khamenei, Sayyid Musa al-Sadr, and the path of the master of martyrs of the Ummah, Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah.”
