His constant companion was a small Qur'an, which he carried with him at all times, and whenever he had the opportunity, he would open it and benefit from the pure source of divine revelation. This very practice—following the divine commandments and the teachings of the Holy Qur'an to the letter—shaped his life so that it was full of goodness, good deeds and blessings.
The commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in Khorramshahr, martyr Mohammad Jahanara, was born in 1954 in a humble, highly devout, committed, Muslim family in Khorramshahr, in southwestern Iran. He had experienced the many vicissitudes of life, but his many outstanding qualities, such as patience, perseverance, self-sacrifice, and a desire for martyrdom shone like a bright star within the constellation of the Islamic Revolution. These outstanding traits meant that he 'melted like a candle' in the revolution and he offered his precious life -- the ultimate sacrifice -- for his beloved country and the Islamic Revolution.

After Banisadr was dismissed from the command of the armed forces, by decree of Imam Khomeini (may God bless his soul), he was entrusted with the position of Deputy Commander of the Armed Forces in the Joint Staff. At the beginning of the imposed war, he spent most of his time at the battlefronts and closely supervised military operations. Due to his competence during his service, he was able to achieve the rank of Brigadier General and completed the staff and command courses.
