Speechless rasanya menyaksikan foto-foto beliau dalam kesehariannya yang teramat bersahaja….hidupnya menjadi cermin buat penggemarnya, kata-katanya menjadi renungan buat lawan-lawannya…(adakah yang tega menjadikan dia lawan?) Foto-foto ini saya dapatkan dari email seorang teman, tanpa mengetahui sumber kutipan. Mohon maaf buat yang merasa memiliki hak cipta foto-foto dan narasinya…. God loves those who are humble in their personal life too! The Fox New TV (US) asked the Iranian President Ahmedi Najad ; “When you look into the mirror in the morning what do you say to yourself” ? He answered : I see the person in the mirror and tells him “Remember, you are no more than a small servant, ahead of you today is the heavy responsibility, and that is to serve the Iranian nation”. And this was how the broadcaster introduced him. Ahmedi Nijad, the Iranian President who astonished many when he first reached to the office of the Presidency by donating all the high valued Iranian carpets to one of the mosques in Tehran by replacing them with the low cost ordinary carpets. He observed that there was a huge extravagant langue for receiving and welcoming the VIPs and he ordered it to be closed and asked the Protocol office to arrange for an ordinary room instead with the wooden chairs, though more impressive in fact…! On many instances he joins the cleaning staff of the municipality for leaning the streets in the area where his home and the Presidency Office locates. Under his authority whenever he appoints any minister to his post he gets a signed document from him with many points, particularly highlighting that he shall remain poor and that his personal and his relatives accounts will be watched and the day he leaves the ministry shall be with dignity, and therefore it is not lawful for him or his relatives to take any advantage of his office. First of all he declared himself all the “Big” wealth and property he owned was a Peugeot 504 car, model 1977, an old small house inherited from his father forty years ago in one of the poorest zones in Tehran. His accounts with a zero balance and the only money comes in to his a/c was from. His salary from the university as a lecturer with an amount of US$ 250 only. For your information the President still lives in that same house. This is all what he owns; the president of one of the world’s important countries; strategically, economically, politically and with regard to its oil and defense. He even doesn’t take his personal salary with the argument that all the wealth belongs to the nation and he is the safeguard over it. One of the things that impressed the staff at the presidency is the bag
the president brings with him every day, which contains his breakfast,
some sandwiches or bread with olive oil and cheese prepared by his wife
and eats and enjoys it with all happiness, While he stopped all the
deliveries of the special food used to come for the president.
One of the other things he changed was his personal carrier “the
presidents Aircraft” to a cargo aircraft in order to save the spending
from the public treasury and he ordered that he will be flying with the
ordinary airline in the economic class.
He organizes meetings every now and then with all the ministers to
know their activities and efficiency and he closed down the office of
the manager of the president and any minister can enter to his office
without any permission. He also stopped the welcome ceremonies like the
red carpet, the photo session or any personal advertisement or respect
of any kind while visiting any place in the country.
Whenever he has to stay in any of the hotels he asks them to make
sure not to give him a room with any big bed because he doesn’t like to
sleep on beds but rather likes to sleep on the ground on a simple
mattress with a blanket.
Does any of such manners and practices shows any disrespect for the high
post of the president ??
Refer to some of the photographs which also confirm the above.
The Iranian president is sleeping in the guest room of his house
after getting away from his special guards who follow him wherever he
goes and photo is taken by his small brother according to the Wifaq
Newspaper which published this photo and the next day the photo was
published in most of the world’s newspapers and magazines and
particularly the Americans.
During the prayer you can see that he is not sitting in the first row!!!!
And the final photo is of his dining room where the president is busy
eating his meal.
