“When you carried your memories, you would bend your back under them. However, if you put them under your foot, your height will be taller. I, at this moment, bring it out of my heart one after another and put it under my foot to forget them all.”

Khalil Nikkhessal’s “A Flame of Fire: A Story of My Own Identity and What It, Means to Be A Minority in Iran” is a collection of stories and experiences by the author. He was born and raised in Yazd, a city in Iran, where the local Muslim community was largely illiterate, highly religious, and often superstitious in their interpretations of Islam. When he was an eleven-year-old kid, they moved to Shiraz. However, he had enough bad, sad, and traumatic experiences there to burn the Yazd community in his mind.
Religious freedom is not universally available. It is particularly not evident in Iran, where religious persecution takes place against the Bahá’i, the country’s second-largest religion. What’s remarkable is that so many in this minority group are successful despite the obstacles that come with this type of discrimination. Author Khalil Nikkhessal is one such example. By his admission, it just wasn’t very easy. A Flame of Fire is his story of perseverance.
His book is divided into three parts: the early memories, his life during the formative period of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, and the highs and lows of his life. In life, there’s no one-way road; there is always a corner, an intersection, a turn, and a lot more that tell us we can take a different path. The scars from previous wounds will never fade and will always be there to remind us of the pain and its lessons.
