Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei paid tribute to women, saying they can be “a huge ocean of patience” and the “pinnacle of wisdom and prudence” at the same time.
The Leader made the remarks in Tehran on Sunday during a meeting with a group of Iranian nurses and families of health workers fallen in the line of duty in the fight against COVID-19 on the occasion of the birthday anniversary of Sayyida Zainab (SA), the granddaughter of Prophet Muhammad, and National Nurses Day.
Sayyida Zainab, the Leader said, was able to show the great spiritual and intellectual capacity of women to the world.
“Sayyida Zainab, peace be upon her, showed two points: First, a woman can be a huge ocean of patience and second, a woman can be the pinnacle of wisdom and prudence.”
Ayatollah Khamenei also touched on the sacrifices of Iranian nurses, especially in fighting the coronavirus pandemic, saying their efforts merit to be recorded through art.
“With regard to narrating the difficulties of the work of nurses, we have a dearth of artistic production. These have artistic themes or in the language of art, they have dramatic themes. They can be used to make attractive art programs. Artists should come to the arena,” he said.
