.Father's Day in the Persian calendar coincides with the birth anniversary of Shia Muslims' first Imam, Ali (AS)

In Islam, parents are given high status, and the Holy Quran has frequently urged the followers to honor, respect, and obey their parents. The holy book at least 15 times has referred to parents' status. Thus, on these days, Muslims and particularly Iranians go to visit their parents and express their affection to them

In Iranian culture, the day is observed in recognition of the role of fathers in the family, raising the children, and society as a whole

On that joyous occasion, people usually pay visits or send gifts to their fathers to pay tribute to them

In addition to the religious teachings, a father is one of the pillars of family in Iranian culture
