Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei, in a message on the anniversary of the birth of Lady Zainab (peace be upon her) and Nurse Day, recalled the role of women and Zainabi girls of Islamic Iran in the history of the country, especially during the Sacred Defense era. He pointed out the impact of nurses on the mental and physical health and security of society and urged health officials to pay special attention to this group.
The Role of Zainabi Women in the History of Iran
The fifth of Jumada al-Awwal is a reminder of the blessed birth of a lady who flourished under the upbringing of the pure family of the best of creation. The upbringing of Zainab al-Kubra (peace be upon her) in this luminous school has showcased a colorful display of nobility and superiority in this shining star of history. The peak of this brilliance was revealed in the epic of Ashura, where she, with her love and goodwill towards the oppressed of Karbala, as well as her demonstration of strength and courage, presented a model of selflessness and sacrifice.

Nurses; Angels of Mercy
The Supreme Leader emphasized that the birthday of Zainab al-Kubra is recognized as Nurse Day, highlighting the moral and human qualities of nurses. He introduced nurses as angels of mercy who bring comfort and hope in the face of the pain and suffering of patients. The role of nurses in treating patients goes beyond physical matters and extends to healing psychological and spiritual pains.
In an era where global arrogance seeks to impose suffering on the Iranian nation, attention to nurses and the preservation and enhancement of their knowledge and skills is of special importance. The Leader called on officials to pay more attention to this hardworking group and to prioritize this matter.
At the end of the message, he prayed for the innocent and self-sacrificing martyrs of the nursing community, especially the martyrs in the imposed wars, and asked the Almighty God to grant the Iranian nation more dignity and power.
