The late Hujjat al-Islam Mohammad Ali Jamati, who recently passed away and had been in the service of the Imam for many years, had narrated the following about Imam’s special attention to the public treasury and public rights.
The late scholar had recounted that Imam’s life was no different from the life of a simple student. The case was same before and after the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979.
“Imam was very careful about the issue of the treasury and the rights of the people,” he said.
“When buying the necessities of his home, he would often recommend that they buy certain things so that the life of students would be within the normal limits.”
Imam Khomeini who had brought about one of the greatest revolutions of this century lived in a simple house with the barest essentials, and he ate simple food.
The late founder of the Islamic Republic had adopted very simple life as he opted to live in a very simply-built residence which has now become a site for visit by thousands of pilgrims, tourists and intellectual form across Iran and various parts of the globe.
Devotees and believers around the globe have been deeply impressed by Imam Khomeini’s simple and modest lifestyle and decorated himself by leading a modest and simple life.
The great Muslim leader led the Islamic revolution by described himself a servant of the nation.
