Monir Al-Ghahtani said, “Imam Khomeini overturned the image western media had created of clergymen and cause a civil and intellectual challenge”.
“ As he caused such challenge, it is wise to say that he was a pupil in Holy Prophet’s school whose courage and manners created proximity of religions and schools of thought”. He added.
He remarked, “Imam Khomeini was able to succeed against Arrogant Powers with resistance, which he had learned from Holy Prophet and Ahlul Bayt (A) and after 57 years taught people how to understand Hadith properly”.
“Imam Khomeini learned from Imam Reza (A) not to accept abjection. Imam Reza (A) did not grant legitimacy to Abbasi ruler. Imam Khomeini too did not acept abjection and elevated the garb of clergymen and their status in society”. He added.
“Thus, Imam Khomeini has to be understood all around the world for he belongs to the whole Islamic world all because he was a great student of the Ahlul Bayt (A). I am from Tunisia but I am a pupil of Imam Khomeini, Shahid Beheshti and Motahari for they belong to the whole world”. He continued.
It is noteworthy that the first Conference of proximity of Islamic Schools in thoughts of Imam Khomeini and Imam Khamenei kicked off today in Arak with cooperation of University of Arak and other institutions.
