The Persian-language magazine Habl al-Matin ( Persian : حبل المتین; DMG : Ḥabl al-matīn ; German : "The solid volume") appeared daily in Tehran from 1907 to 1908 and is considered one of the most important political magazines during the Constitutional Revolution . A year with a total of 274 issues was published. The magazine was founded as an offshoot of its predecessor of the same name, which was published in Calcutta as early as 1893 in order to ensure that the news within Iran was up to date. Founder and owner were Moayyed-al-Eslam, the editor of the Indian Habl al-Matin and his younger brother Sayyed Hasan. From the 20th edition, Shaikh Yahya Kashani, a well-known journalist and owner of the magazines Majles, Irān and Irān-e emruz, held the post of editor. During the Constitutional Revolution, Hasan used the magazine to support the movement. In the course of the coup d'état of Mohammed Ali Shah in June 1908, Sayyed Hasan was exiled and the publication of the magazine ended.
