Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – July 3, 1997

Efat, who had stayed the night with Fati to take care of him, came tired and worried. I went to my office. Endowment managers came. Mr. [Seydmehdi] Imam Jamarani, [Head of Endowment and Charity Organization] gave a work report and presented a plaque of gratitude and read the text of the plaque, which praises my lasting and productive works, including the establishment of the Quran printing house. I also gave certificates of appreciation to several waqfs, including a woman, and talked about the importance of waqf and the duty of preserving and making good use of waqf, and I explained the harms of the betrayal of waqf by the ancestors, which caused the waqf to decrease and the society to become disinterested in waqf.

Dr. [Hassan] Habibi came to visit Syria and the future cabinet for the order of the Expediency and Consultative Council and asked for help for the Iranian Studies Foundation and about the need to publish

The results of the seizure of the properties of the president and deputy ministers were discussed.

Mr. [Mohiuddin] Fazel Harandi, [representative of the legal guardian in the land transfer commissions] came. He asked for help in researching the issue of land and Anfal, etc., and complained about the return of the land given to the farmers who belonged to the veterans' foundation, and appealed to stop it.

In the evening, Fati called from the hospital, but he was unable to speak due to anger and crying. My heart burned Then Fazeh spoke and gave the phone to Dr. [Iraj] Fazel. Dr. Fazel said, in his opinion, the pain is related to the appendix and not the kidney, and he asked for permission to operate on appendicitis. I told him to consult with others. Then I spoke with Dr. [Alireza] Marandi. Until now, they were mostly looking for kidney stones, which they had not seen any effect on through tests and color photographs, and after consultation, they all agreed that the appendix should be operated. It was decided to transfer Fati to the heart hospital, which has a suitable place for visitors and security.

At night, I went to Hosseinieh Tharullah Sepah. During the mourning ceremony, I spoke about the Prophet (pbuh), Imam Hassan (pbuh), Imam Reza (pbuh) and the Iranian revolution. On the way back, they informed that Fati's surgery was done well. I went to the heart hospital. Relatives were Efat, Mohsen, Dr. Fazel, and Dr. Marandi. I went to the ICU. He regained consciousness and was fine. He said that he is in pain and is afraid; I thought it was very weak, I was upset, but my mind was relieved. I came home late. Chastity remained there.
