💠 My Paradise is the Shrine of Hazrat Masoumeh (SA)
Sakineh loves Iran and its kind-hearted people, but there is one place that stands out for her above all others—the two holy cities of Qom and Mashhad. "Whenever I get the chance, I travel to Qom and the shrine of Hazrat Masoumeh (SA); it brings me a unique sense of peace." Whenever she feels down, she visits the shrine: "I love visiting Hazrat Masoumeh (SA) and Imam Reza (AS). Being in their shrines gives me a sense of tranquility, as if I’m in paradise." The most significant figure in Sakineh’s spiritual life, however, is still Imam Hussein (AS).

Although she hasn’t visited Karbala yet, it’s a journey she plans to make this year. Despite not having the chance to visit Imam Hussein (AS), she feels a deep connection with the third Shia Imam, which is why she chose the name Sakineh—a name that could have easily been Rughayyah or Zainab. She explains her choice: "Sakineh is the daughter of Imam Hussein (AS). I’ve read and heard many elegies and stories about her." The loving bond between Sakineh (SA) and her father, and the suffering she endured after his martyrdom until her own death, deeply moved this newly converted Muslim woman. These reasons compelled her to take the name Sakineh, to honor the daughter of the Master of Martyrs.

In closing, Sakineh has a message for the people of Iran: "Please don’t pay attention to the Western propaganda. Iranian and Islamic traditions are incredibly valuable. The youth should strive to preserve these traditions and ignore the Western media."

🌸 From Rome to the Light of Imam Ali (a.s.) — The Story of Roxana, an Italian Revert to Shia Islam

📖 “My conversion to Shi‘a Islam is an indescribable blessing from God.” — Roxana

Roxana, a young woman from Rome, Italy, grew up in a Christian family and studied physiotherapy. For most of her life, she was indifferent to religion — even harboring resentment toward Islam due to the negative media portrayals around her. But destiny had a different plan. 🌙

🌿 The Turning Point

About eight years ago, Roxana embraced Islam. At first, she followed Sunni teachings for a year, but her heart was restless — full of unanswered questions. She says that whenever she tried to ask about Shi‘a Islam, she was met with anger and avoidance. “I knew this wasn’t the end of my journey,” she recalls, “I felt deep inside that I still hadn’t reached the truth.”

One night, through Facebook, she came across a newly converted Shi‘a girl. Roxana read all her posts in one sitting, crying without knowing why. That night she didn’t sleep — instead, she read, researched, and wept. It was the night she met Imam Hussein (a.s.), Imam Ali (a.s.), and the beautiful concept of Mahdism — the hope-filled belief in the awaited Imam.

💫 The Love That Changed Everything

Soon after, Roxana found herself drawn to Amir al-Mu’minin, Imam Ali (a.s.). Every time she hears his blessed name in the Adhan (call to prayer), tears stream down her cheeks. Her Iranian friend, Fatemeh Golnari, who lives in Milan, describes it beautifully:

“Roxana asks me how I feel when I hear the Adhan. I tell her it feels like light entering my heart. She smiles and says, ‘That’s the light of faith.’ Sometimes I feel she is the born Muslim and I am the new one!”

🌷 A Divine Invitation on Eid al-Ghadir

On the blessed day of Eid al-Ghadir, Roxana visited the Imam Ali (a.s.) Center in Milan without knowing it was a major Islamic celebration. She had gone there for a cultural event, but when she realized what day it was, she kept repeating “SubhanAllah” and “Alhamdulillah” in her Italian accent, overwhelmed by divine coincidence.

“God brought me here on Ghadir,” she whispered with tears of gratitude.

🕊️ Trials and Peace Behind the Hijab

Roxana decided to wear the hijab, knowing well the challenges that awaited her in Europe. “Everyone in my family and society is Christian, but I am at peace,” she says. “Hijab is my identity now. My hardships are nothing compared to the tranquility I feel inside.”

She has visited Iran twice, traveling through Tehran, Tabriz, and especially falling in love with Mashhad and Jamkaran — cities she calls “the places where my soul rests.”

📚 Spreading the Wisdom of Imam Ali (a.s.) in Italian

Today, Roxana dedicates her time to translating Nahj al-Balagha and the sayings of Imam Ali (a.s.) into Italian, so that her people can access the timeless wisdom of Islam’s greatest teacher.

“The words of Imam Ali,” she says, “belong to all humanity — Muslim or not. Everyone deserves to read them.”

🌹 Roxana’s story is a shining example of how divine love crosses borders, languages, and traditions — leading hearts to truth.

📖 “Whoever God wishes to guide, He opens their heart to Islam.” (Qur’an 6:125)

🇮🇹✨ In Memory of Martyr Edoardo Agnelli
#RememberingEduardoAgnelli #MartyrOfTruth #FromRomeToKarbala

Edoardo Agnelli — the only son of the Fiat empire’s billionaire owner — chose a path few dared to walk. Born into unimaginable wealth and Western prestige, he turned his heart toward the light of Islam and eventually embraced Shi’a Islam, taking the name Mahdi. 🌙

Despite being heir to one of Europe’s most powerful families, Edoardo found no peace in material comfort. His search for truth led him to Iran, where he met Imam Khomeini (RA) — a moment that deeply transformed him. Imam Khomeini kissed his forehead, a gesture symbolizing spiritual kinship rather than political alliance. ❤️

Edoardo wasn’t a silent believer. He produced a documentary about Islam for Italy’s Channel One, courageously introducing his people to the message of divine justice and spiritual awakening. His newfound faith, however, came with heavy consequences. He openly criticized Zionism, materialism, and the spiritual decay of the West, which drew the anger of powerful lobbies.

🕊 On November 15, 2000 (24 Aban 1379), Edoardo was found dead beneath a bridge on the Torino–Savona highway. Authorities hastily labeled it suicide — without autopsy, without investigation. Yet many, including Italian journalist Giuseppe Poppo, Islamic organizations, and his Iranian friends, have declared it what it truly was: a political assassination, carried out to silence a voice that had become dangerous to the Zionist agenda.

Before his death, Edoardo had reportedly said:

“The Zionists will kill me for becoming a Muslim — and they will make it look like suicide.”

📚 His life and martyrdom have inspired countless works:

• The Gift of Christ by Mostafa Ghaffari, documenting his spiritual journey and martyrdom.

• Edoardo by Behzad Daneshgar, an award-winning novel exploring his inner struggle.

• One Minute of Silence and I Am Not Edoardo! by Iranian authors — all celebrating his truth-seeking soul.
🎬 The acclaimed documentary Edoardo Agnelli, directed by Siavash Sarmadi and produced by Habibollah Kassehsaz, brought his story to screens across Iran and beyond, even though its makers faced threats and imprisonment for revealing the truth.

Edoardo Agnelli’s life is not just a story of conversion — it is the manifestation of faith against empire, the voice of conscience within a world of deception.
He is the Musʿab ibn ʿUmair of our century — a man who gave up luxury for light, inheritance for heaven. 🌹

💬 “He left the throne of Fiat to sit humbly before the throne of God.”

اللهم صلّ علی محمد و آل محمد و عجل لولیک الفرج 🤲

🇸🇪✨ An Unbelievable Scene in Sweden! ✨

You won’t believe this — a massive queue in one of the most secular, so-called “non-religious” countries in the world… Sweden!

At first glance, you might think it’s a concert, a festival, or maybe a store opening —
but no.
These people — most of them young — are standing in line to pray. 🕌

Yes, this is a mosque, and the line is so long that people wait for the first group to finish their prayer before they can enter for the next round of congregational prayer.

And here’s the amazing part: this is a Sunni mosque,
while Shia mosques are said to be even more crowded! 🌙

In a country where faith was thought to fade away,
Islam is alive, growing, and shining through the hearts of youth. 💚
