Mother of the last soldier

About This Book

History records the clash of empires, but often forgets the silent agony of mothers.

I am Fereshteh Dayhim, and I invite you to journey back to the year 61 AH (680 AD)-to the burning sands of Karbala.

This book is not merely a collection of historical facts; it is a window into the broken heart of Lady Rabab. It is the true chronicle of her six-month-old son, Prince Ali Asghar, whose thirst shamed the Euphrates and whose empty cradle shook the conscience of humanity.

I have penned these pages to give voice to a mother who, after the loss of her "Little Soldier," vowed never to sit in the shade again. Read this to witness a grief that history could not bury and a love that defines eternity.
