On the occasion of Hossein Fahmida's martyrdom

Mohammad Hossein Fahmideh was a brave, active and friendly person. He was very interested in studying and although he had not yet reached the age of obligation, he prayed regularly. Fahmideh was very much in love with Imam Khomeini (RA) so much so that he used to say: Whatever Imam Khomeini (RA) wants, I will do the same. When the Imam (RA) arrived in Iran, he was unable to visit the Imam (RA) due to his injury, but after recovering, he went to the holy city of Qom and met the Imam (RA).
Five days before the official start of the war, Mohammad Hossein went to the Khorramshahr front together with the Basij resistance force. In the early days, they did not allow him to be in the front line, but finally he went to the front line together with Mohammad Reza Shams. Shams and Fahmideh were taken to Bandar Mahshahr hospital in October due to injuries, and after a few days of partial recovery, they were discharged from the hospital and returned to the front.

Imam Khomeini said that about Hossein Fahmideh Our true leader is that twelve year old boy—whose tiny heart is much larger than hundreds of our pens and words—who threw himself with a grenade under the enemy’s tank and destroyed it, and attained the sweet blessing of martyrdom for himself.
Sahifeh ye Imam. V 14. P 63

Finally, Hossein Fahmideh was martyred on October 29, 1980. After the martyrdom of Mohammad Hossein Fahmideh, this day was named as the day of youth and student mobilization.
