The founder of the Islamic Republic has been spiritually closely associated to the Household of the holy prophet of Islam.
Friends and colleagues recall that Imam Khomeini used to visit Imam Ali (PBUH) after each midnight during his stay in the holy Iraqi city of Najaf.
Imam did not miss this routine for years despite his engagement to teaching at seminaries and attending the people problems.
Also, Imam used to frequently visit Shrine of Hazrat Masoumeh, sister of Imam Reza (PBUH), one of holiest places, in the holy city of Qom. Prominent clerics say Imam used to daily visit the holy shrine either in the morning or evening after delivering his lectures to the students.
Imam Khomeini is considered as one of the greatest contemporary Muslim figures and the history-making men.
The great figure put emphasis on the importance of self-purification and attaining the proximity to Allah, the Almighty, before he began lecturing his students on intellectualism and academic issues
Imam Khomeini truly exemplified the true and genuine teachings of the holy prophet of Islam and his infallible successors in his lifestyle.
Imam Khomeini’s academic and spiritual legacy is becoming increasingly popular and being welcomed across various parts of the world.
