🇮🇷| Female Iranian footballers who returned to Iran recall how Australian police were pressuring them to not leave for Iran.

She says:

“When they checked our passports, each of us went into a room with a police officer. At first, when they took my hand and led me away, I was a bit scared, but I told myself it’s okay.

Then we sat down; we went through a few doors, entered a room, and I sat. The security agent called someone on a phone, and I realized they wanted to ask us again: ‘If you go back, it’s like this [dangerous]... your country is at war, etc.

They were asking a bunch of very strange questions, hoping I might say, ‘No, I don’t know. I am not sure of returning.’

They kept asking those same kinds of questions. He then asked me ‘Do you want to call your family? You can contact them right now to decide if you want to stay or not.’ As soon as he said that, I told the lady (the translator), ‘Tell him I don’t want to stay.

Anyone who wanted to stay has already stayed.’ I didn’t even let him finish reading the rest of his questions; I just said: ‘I want to return to Iran.’

Right then, I got a bad feeling in my heart; I was a bit scared because I really wanted to go back to Iran—I wanted to go to my family, my homeland.”

I was speaking to my mother—she’s in Iran—over the phone. She said something that stayed with me. She said these events have done something to people… as if Allah has touched their minds, and overnight their **ʿaql** has been elevated—completed in a way we haven’t seen before.

I asked her, “Do you just mean the religious crowd?”
She said, “No. Look at the streets. Look at the people. You see all kinds—people you would never expect—standing side by side, demanding justice, calling for revenge, and above all else, **victory**.”

This girl is just one example—but she’s not the exception anymore.

We’ve been told in hadith that when our Imam returns, Allah will **complete the intellects (ʿuqul) of the people**. If that is the fullness of it—then what we are witnessing now feels like the **beginning of that awakening**. A stirring. A shift. Something breaking open inside the hearts and minds of people.

Yes—these events are painful. They are heavy. They are tragic.
But don’t reduce them to just that.

There is a mercy unfolding within them.

Because what is happening right now is that people are being **shaken out of heedlessness**. The distractions are losing their grip. The illusions are cracking. Hearts that were asleep are starting to feel again. To see again. To care again.

This is not random.

This is like an alarm before Fajr—loud, jarring, impossible to ignore.
It disrupts your sleep—but it’s not there to harm you.
It’s there to **wake you up for what matters**.

To prepare you.
To realign you.
To bring you back to Allah.

This is a moment of exposure—of truth rising, of clarity cutting through confusion. And if you’re paying attention, you can feel it: something is changing, not just outwardly, but within people.

InshaAllah, the sun will rise.

But until then—we are not spectators.

We are soldiers of the Imam.

We carry this awareness. This responsibility. This awakening.
We refuse to go back to sleep.
We refuse to be numb again.
We refuse to live distracted while truth is calling.

We stand. We endure. We prepare.

And we will not rest until he returns, inshaAllah.

Ya Allah, protect my ppl 🤲🤲🤲🤲🤲
