Praying for Ebrahim Mohammad Zadeh and His Family – House of Intellectual (wordpress.com)
On Tuesday, January 16th, 2023, I went to my Twitter account to see what was happening in Iran. I watched a short video clip of Ebrahim/Ibrahim Mohammad Zadeh holding a leather belt and whipping his daughter.
When I saw Mr. Mohammad Zadeh using a belt and whipping his daughter with it, that little girl with her tiny and fragile limbs could not handle pain; she was screaming in pain and running around a room with zero chance to escape the torture room. She was trapped in that room and had to deal with a monster with the title of father; I wished I was in that home and would shield her body with body and would not allow Mr. Mohammad Zadeh to abuse her child in that cruel manner.
I began to cry for Mr. Mohammad Zadeh and his daughter that they did not know how to interact with one another. The saddest moment for me was when the little girl told his dad, I promise you. A child should never promise anything to their parents. A child needs to be free from any obligation.
I looked at the father's situation, how it contributed to the downfall of his family structure, and how it would hurt Mr. Mohammad Zadeh. Last, what Mohammad Zadeh needed to do was reverse engineering to save his family.
When I looked at Mohammad Zadeh, who was using physical force against his daughter to teach suitable manners, it became evident that he, too, was a victim of child abuse because he did not know any better to teach his daughter good manners.
I looked at Mohammad Zadeh's circumstances; he has been living under the dictatorship of the Islamic Republic of Iran since 1979. He only experiences the perpetual war policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the regime plundered Iran's wealth with nothing left for Iranians to have on their table to eat. Iranians were facing a shortage of food and water, a lack of healthcare, and environmental degradation. Mohammad Zadeh most likely lived in that house as a tenant and did not have money to pay the rent. He was likely struggling to hold onto a job because most employers could not afford to have employees. I cried for Mohammad Zadeh. I wished I could help him, but I lived far away from Iran and Iranians and had no opportunity to help him.
I looked at his daughter's future. She was diagnosed with childhood trauma. It meant that it was likely when she grew older that, she would run away from home, not have the protection of her family, and become a victim of the opportunity wolves.
Mr. Mohammad Zadeh needed to understand the best gift in this life: his daughter. He needed to invest in his daughter. He needed to allocate time and energy by doing ten (10) minutes of physical exercises with his daughter to build a family bond. He needed to spend time playing musical instruments and colouring to develop creativity in her daughter.
Mr. Mohammad Zadeh needed to understand that physical assault on her daughter would have a profound psychological impact on her daughter as she would lose her self-confidence, and she may develop a reliance on substances or alcohol as a means of coping with stress. However, if Mr. Mohammad Zadeh worked on his daughter's self-confidence, she would become his champion in life.
A daughter had two houses. One was her house, which she took care of. She also managed her father's house. A daughter was like a butterfly who flew between two places and spread love. If Mr. Mohammad Zadeh wanted someone to care for him when he was older and needed extra love and care, he needed to invest in his future by caring for his daughter.
In conclusion, I became sad to watch Mr. Mohammad Zadeh whipping his daughter because I saw two victims. Mr. Mohammad Zadeh was the victim of his past, which was haunting him, and he was transferring his past pain to his daughter. Last, he was angry due to the circumstances in which he was living. He needed to know that physical abuse against his fragile daughter would not solve any problem; it would lead to more significant issues in their life. He needed to work with his daughter to repair the damage he had done.
I will pray for them until I pass away from this world for Mr. Mohammad Zadeh so he will develop a healthy relationship with his daughter, and I will pray for his daughter to remain strong and confident that guardian angels are watching over her.
