Sports and Seyyed Ali Akbar Abu Torabi Fard

From Azadegan Encyclopedia

Abu Torabi Fard`s presence in the camps helped strengthen the morale of the captives.

Abu Torabi Fard went as far as to say:

Sport for you is even more important than Nahj -ol-Balagheh classes. The fact that an authority of Islamic codes and regulations such as Hajy morally obliged us to exercise, encouraged us the more to attach importance to doing exercises and sports.

In the latter part of captivity, captives were too exhausted and used up and the dark dank rooms of the sanatorium plus malnutrition had rendered them weak and emaciated even so, Haji had remained quite athletic and vibrant[1].
