Faithful Iranian women are gifting their gold so that their belief and resilience reach the oppressed mothers of Gaza.
How Do You Weigh the Gold of These Women?
When jewelers weigh gold, they count the wages, taxes, and all fees—but I wonder, how could one measure the grams of sacrifice these women offer? How could the tears, prayers, vows, and heartfelt offerings be measured? Even if we could quantify all that, the depth of a woman’s faith is simply immeasurable.
Women and Gold: More Than Material Wealth
Around the world, it’s often assumed that women are attached to gold—purchasing necklaces and bracelets as if it’s their greatest joy. Yet in the geography I know, mothers and wives think far more about pleasing God and see gold as a means of sacrifice. When beliefs and ideals matter, anything—even gold that many can afford only once in years—can become a symbol of devotion.
High-Purity Gold on the Throne’s Scales
One woman who donated a gold pendant wrote that she’s ashamed it’s so small. But I’m sure angels place that gold on God’s scale, alongside her concerns and faith, and whisper with a smile: “Look how heavy it is!”
A Gift to Mark the Child’s Blessing
Whether it’s a first or second birth, mothers are the most sensitive beings in the journey to parenthood. Receiving a gift is like watering the fresh petals of their souls. A celebratory gift for the child is cherished—with memories and gratitude. Now imagine a mother who sets aside all the celebrations for her son to donate to Gaza—what a magnanimous heart she holds.
The Women’s Key Word in This Story
Donating gold is not easy—every woman knows that. Sometimes that small piece of jewelry represents years of effort, a memento of someone gone, even a wedding ring or the family’s only savings. It’s painful to part with. Yet these women do it as if they’re gifting a single piece of clothing—something easily replaced.
The answer lies in their own words—they’ve found the keyword of womanhood, a term Iranian women and Gazan mothers deeply understand.
The Essence of Gold Is These Women’s Hearts
The faith of a Gazan woman is the true gold: priceless, unmeasurable, and beyond any jeweler’s scale. This is the same faith of Iranian women—willing to give up gold, savings, even life itself, and do so with a smile.
Geography of Resilient Hearts
The geography of faithful women’s hearts is vast—whether you’re Iranian or Afghan migrant doesn’t matter. With faith, one morning you can place your earrings in a handmade envelope decorated with maps of Iran and Afghanistan, proclaiming: this is the geography of faith connecting hearts. This is resistance, a common language—never mind borders.
This Is Not Just a Simple Gathering
This isn’t just a simple assembly or a donation of gold. For those whose hearts are grounded in resilience, it has become a way of life. Renouncing gold and wealth is their belief. Their collective fist is fueled by feminine faith. That fist is so powerful that if it strikes the oppressor’s jaw, not only will his teeth shatter—it will splash his blood on the oppressors’ garments, and the world will be awakened by the scandal.
We will strike this fist together to show oppressed, faithful mothers in Gaza that we are many, we stand behind you, and we strive to shatter the decaying oppressor’s trunk—so Gaza’s children can sleep peacefully in your arms.
