Zeinab Erfanian, our country's young and active author with a master's degree in Islamic history, is the author of "The Messenger of Multan" and "Red Squares," which has received the super leader's commendation. 

“The Messenger of Multan” is the life story of martyr Muhammad Ali Rahimi, narrated by his wife, which has been published in 2015. And “Red Squares” is the story of wartime by Haj Hasan Yekta. 

* Would you please explain how you discovered the subjects of these two books of yours?

The books' subjects are linked in some way. I met Haj Hasan Yekta at the unveiling ceremony for "The Messenger of Multan," and he offered to write "Red Squares." And when Mrs. Ghasemi Zahed read my previous book, the "Alamdaran" series, she suggested I write the memoirs of her husband, Martyr Syed Mohammad Ali Rahimi, which is knows as "Messenger of Multan."

* What difficulties did you encounter while writing?

Every job has its own set of challenges and difficulties, from setting dates and holding regular interview sessions to verifications and documenting work; but I enjoyed all of them. 

* Was the feedback satisfactory to you?

They were fantastic! Of course, there was some criticism, but the majority of the feedback was positive.

* Has your book been published in Arabic, as it was said?

Yes. A year after the publication of the Persian version, the Arabic version was also published.

* How did you feel when the super leader commended your books?

It was a wonderful feeling, and it was due to God's grace. I felt like all my tiredness vanished the moment I heard about it. Even now, I notice that the difficulty of my job does not tire me at all, and I can even say that I enjoy many of the challenges of my job.

* Which aspect of holy defense literature, in your opinion, has received insufficient attention?

The role of women who handled war with tact behind the front, whether during the eight years of imposed war or the war with ISIS.
