Marginal Notes on Shab-haye Balehroon – 1 / Shalamcheh, the Land of Transformations

On a memorable night of the program “Shab-haye Balehroon,” Haj Hossein Yekta, with his fiery and emotional words, transformed the atmosphere for the audience. His speech carried such depth and emotion that it prompted everyone to reflect and undergo an inner transformation. Referring to the great personality of Seyed Hassan Nasrallah and his unique characteristics, he spoke about the impactful moments of this figure’s life: “Seyed Hassan Nasrallah, who was a fortress in himself—otherwise, they wouldn’t have used 83 bunker-busting bombs to martyr him. He was not only a military commander but also guided hearts toward the truth with his faith and voice.”

Haj Hossein Yekta beautifully illustrated the power of persuasive speech and faith by saying: “When you hold your breath and speak, your voice resonates across the world. When you hold your breath and speak, you can transform people’s hearts.” He emphasized that true transformation begins within a person and recalled how, in Lebanon, young individuals with different appearances but hearts full of faith soared to the skies through the words of Seyed Hassan Nasrallah.

He went on to speak about the significance of the nights of Shalamcheh, a place where individuals come to achieve inner transformation and change: “Shalamcheh is the land of transformations. You come here to say, ‘O Changer of hearts and states, change our condition to the best of conditions.'” Haj Hossein Yekta highlighted the profound meaning of this transformation, explaining how the martyrs, through their sacrifices, were able to change people’s hearts and guide them toward a better path.

He also spoke about the Nights of Qadr (Laylat al-Qadr) and their importance for every individual, emphasizing that these nights are an opportunity to deepen one’s connection with the martyrs and God: “Tonight is your Night of Qadr, O those who sit in Shalamcheh. Tonight, know your worth, and place your destiny in the hands of the martyrs.” Haj Hossein invited everyone to ask the martyrs, during these nights, to shape their fate and destiny with their sacred hands.

In conclusion, Haj Hossein Yekta, with words filled with love and faith, urged the audience to seek the support of Imam Hussain (AS) and Imam Mahdi (AS) to be chosen: “Stand up and rise! To your left is the shrine of Imam Hussain. Show your paper to Imam Hussain and say, ‘My dear master, did you see? I finally came.'”

His words created a wave of passion and enthusiasm in the hearts of the audience, guiding the soul and spirit of every listener toward change and transformation.
