Recognize today’s Shimr now in ‘Enigma of the Shah’

Recognize today’s Shimr now in iFilm’s historical series ‘The Enigma of the Shah’.

We curse Shimr because we seek to eradicate Shimr-like acting in the world. We curse Yazid and Ubaydallah because we seek to confront the rule of the likes of Yazid and the oppressive rule against believers in the world. 

“The Shimr of your time is the Israeli Moshe Dayan. Shimr died one thousand three hundred years ago. Recognize today’s Shimr now,” says Morteza Moṭahhari, a prominent jurist, philosopher, theologian, thinker, and writer of the twentieth century.

He was a student of Allamah Tabatabaee and Imam Khomeini and was considered to be one of the most influential contemporary Iranian clerics in expounding upon Islamic teachings, keeping pace with the need of the time.

Don't miss the seventy first episode of the series on iFilm TV tonight at 22:00 GMT, or better yet watch it now via the website of the channel.

Each episode of the 95-part historical series will be repeated the next day at 04:00, 10:00 and 16:00.

Directed by Mohammad-Reza Varzi, ‘The Enigma of the Shah’ recounts Iran’s contemporary history, beginning with the rule of Reza Shah Pahlavi and ending with the Islamic Revolution of Iran which brought down the Pahlavi Dynasty.

In 1979, the Iranian nation rose up to bring an end to the dictatorship of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi.

Led by a charismatic leader named Ayatollah Khomeini, Iranians finally succeeded in changing the country’s system to an Islamic Republic.
