Nida-yi Vatan

Nida-yi Vatan was established by the journalist Ahmad Majd Al Islam Kirmani who also edited the paper.^[2][3] Its first issue appeared on 27 December 1906.^[4] Nida-yi Vatan was headquartered in Tehran.^[4]

Kirmani described the paper as a liberal publication which attempted to make the notion of constitutionalism much more popular in the country.^[2] In each issue the statement hubb al-watan min al-iman (Persian: love of homeland is of the faith) was put under its title.^[5] This sentence is attributed by the Sufi Muslims to Prophet Mohammad which refers to the Sufis' attempt to reach unity with the divine.^[5] In the paper, this statement was employed to encourage patriotism among its readers.^[5]

The paper frequently featured brief biographies of the deputies.^[2] It also published patriotic poems and letters from its readers.^[5][6] Unlike other publications established in the same period such as Majlis the paper was strictly controlled by the state.^[1] Nida-yi Vatan folded in June 1908.^[2]

Some of its issues are archived by the University of Chicago Library.^[4]
