Iranian X users: Progress of Iranian women an undeniable reality

Pars Today – On the occasion of Women’s Day in the Iranian calendar, Iranian users on the X platform honored the status of Lady Fatimah Zahra (PBUH) and emphasized the important role of women in the family and society, as well as the achievements of Iranian women in various fields.

The birthday of the noble daughter of the Prophet of Islam (blessings of God upon him and his progeny), Lady Fatimah Zahra (PBUH), which falls on the 20th of Jumada al-Thani, has been designated in Iran as Women’s and Mothers’ Day. The purpose of this designation is to honor the status of women. Despite biased and inaccurate portrayals by Western media, women throughout Iran’s history and in Islamic teachings have always been held in high regard. Especially after the Islamic Revolution, Iranian women have shined globally in scientific, athletic, and artistic fields, achieving lasting accomplishments. This Pars Today article looks at comments made by Iranian X users on this topic.

A user named “Mahani” wrote: “The birth of Lady Zahra (PBUH) is Women’s Day, because she showed that a woman can reach the highest peaks of humanity.”

Another user, “Defender of the Homeland,” said: “Through her sacrifices and devotion, Lady Zahra (PBUH) depicted the true meaning of humanity and invited everyone to follow her example.”

Here is a clear and natural American English translation:

In this context, Masoumeh Sa’adati, using the hashtags “Lady Mother” and “Lady of Light,” wrote: “The progress of Iranian women is an undeniable reality.”

In another post comparing the views of Islam and the West regarding women, she added: “The West turned women into a showcase; Islam made them the foundation of nurturing.”

“Chador Khaki”, also using the hashtags “Lady Mother” and “Symbol of Modesty,” wrote: “The Iranian woman is an inspiration in the field of women’s entrepreneurship.”

Maryam Roosta referred to women’s rights in Islam and wrote: “In supporting women’s economic independence, the world has been behind Islam for thirteen centuries; in Islam, a woman’s right to ownership and financial independence is official and firmly established.”

“A. B.J.” added: “Iranian women have always played a key role in the progress of society throughout history.”

Another user named Ali Asghar Delbari, using the hashtags “Treasure of Affection” and “Iranian Woman,” wrote: “The Iranian woman is a mother, a mentor, and an effective force in the social arena—a symbol of capability and dignity.”

Maryam stated: “The Iranian Muslim woman is a capable human being with equal rights under Islamic law who maintains her dignity; through her participation in political and cultural spheres, she demonstrates abilities that transcend gender boundaries.”

Shirin Bayan, in a tweet referring to remarks by the Supreme Leader honoring women, wrote:“Congratulations on the birth of the most exalted lady of the world, Fatimah al-Zahra (PBUH), to all modest and virtuous women. Mother’s Day is approaching, and I wonder which day is not Mother’s Day—the day of her sacrifices, her worries, her loving gaze. Happy Mother’s Day… Imam Khamenei: ‘Woman is a delicate flower.’”

Another X user, Omid, wrote: “Women’s and Mothers’ Day reminds us that a dynamic and progressive society is impossible without the active and effective presence of women. Dear ladies, through your tireless efforts—not only in your families but also in social and political fields—you shape a bright future for our beloved Iran.”

The account ‘Hazrat Ruhollah’ shared a quote from Imam Khomeini: “A woman possesses a special greatness in society which, if not superior to that of a man, is certainly not less. Therefore, this day marks the life of woman and the establishment of her honor and her great role in society.”
