I’ll eat later!

By: Sadeq Nowruzi
One of important features of Mr. Rajaee in ‘Evin’ prison was his determination of praying on time, which he never gave it up. In the prison they usually brought lunch prior and very close to ‘Azan’ (call for praying).The reason was that if we waited to eat after prayer, it would turn cold. Usually, all prisoners used to eat the food and then if they liked they would pray. But I remember that Mr. Rajaei usually said:”? Set aside my food, I will eat later”?. It was popular in the prison that Rajaei wouldn’t eat unless he prayed before. So they put aside his food.
