We arrived in Gothenburg, the second largest city in Sweden;
\nIt was February 15th, the middle of our Shaban month, the birthday of God\u2019s dearest creature, and the middle of the Swedish month in the middle of winter, scorching heat, and cold.
\nWe pitched a tent, a relatively large booth in the city center, and from the very beginning of the day, when they saw us working and active, they did not pass by us indifferently.
\nWhere are you from? Are you Muslim? Who is the Mahdi? What are you going to do here?
\nWithout any introduction or wasting time, we got to the point
\nWe are Iranians, Muslims, and Shiites
\nThe Mahdi does not belong to us, the Mahdi belongs to the whole world
\nThe Mahdi will come with Christ
\nThe Mahdi is the Savior, and the Savior must first appear in the hearts. The more we talked, the calmer and happier their faces became.
\nWe talked about our type of activity and said that we wanted to have a different view of being human, that we were going to save ourselves from the limitations of time and space, geography, borders, nationality and gender. We were going to feed our souls and souls a little and that was it!
\nWe asked them about the characteristics of a perfect model, and we put whatever characteristics they mentioned on one side of the scale and told them about the model of a perfect human being. The reflection of our words made the other side of the scale heavier in their minds.
\nWe asked them to think about their wishes and take the cards that we had decorated with the hadiths of the Ahlul Bayt. And what wishes seemed to have been born from the heart of the hadiths or not; perhaps this was the specialty of the Imam, who saw a wish in the purpose of creating a human being that he had to deliver a pure sentence to us in order to achieve it.
\nA very calm and dignified Swedish lady approached us and asked: What is the story of this booth and the paintings? We said that we are ambassadors of peace and justice. We believe that the world has reached a point of oppression and injustice where our humanity is in question. We had a sweet and interesting discussion, he took the address of the campaign page from us and said goodbye with a more awake nature than us.
\nWe recorded many memories with the people of Gothenburg, from Nigerian immigrants to Iraqis and Americans. When they learned about their own role in creating a peaceful future, they thought about the future with more motivation and determination.
\nAnd of course, we were just planting a seedling in the wilderness of their hearts and we saw that the gardener had watered the soil of these hearts earlier and ahead of us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
