In the middle of 1947, the Lebanese newspapers published news of the execution of Dr. Dahesh in Azerbaijan, north of Iran, providing by way of evidence two photographs supposedly of Dr. Dahesh, before and after the execution. The truth is that Dr. Dahesh, at that time, was living in Beirut away from public notice due to the oppressive persecution by the Lebanese government. As for who was the man executed and what the secret of the news was, the answer to these questions is provided in the introduction to the book.
When news of the death of Dr. Dahesh spread out, his friends and acquaintances paid tribute to him: enumerating his virtues, and his outstanding qualities as well as his positive influence on them. This book comprises the sum total of the eulogies which were written, in addition to selections of the handwriting of those who eulogized him.
