As the saying goes, we have more friends - who we can relate to and understand our predicament in this temporary world, and our struggles to purify ourselves of being corrupted by its temptations - residing in the graveyards of the martyrs than we do among the "living" of this world.

Therefore, we like to dedicate this book to the martyrs, who we consider as our friends, and we hope we are worthy of their friendship, and can reciprocate it to them. To Martyrs Qassem Soleimani, Sayed Abbas al-Musawi, Reda al-Sha'er, Ibrahim Hadi, Ayatollah Muhammad Baqir as-Sadr, Amina Bintel Huda as-Sadr, Ayatollah Beheshti, Morteza Aviny, Malcolm X, Malcolm Latif Shabazz, Edoardo Agnelli, Tony Haidar Abi Ghanem, Samir Kuntar, Sheikh Ragheb Harb, Hadi Subeiti, Mahdi Yaghi, Mohsen Hojaji, Sayyed Ahmad Pelorak, Nizar Banat, and Ayatollah Mutahhari.
