One day the Imam was preoccupied with prayers in the balcony of his home. Suddenly the sound of red alert siren resonated. The Imam was uttering the ‘salaam’ that signaled the end of the mandatory prayer. I took a deep look at his face. There was no change at all in his facial expression. After the conclusion of the prayer, he looked halfway up the sky and with a calm tone while looking at the anti-aircraft fire that had filled the overhead sky stated: “Look how beautiful they are!”
How beautiful they are! Sayyid Hasan Khomeini
