The article begins by highlighting the close relationship and proximity between the martyr Mostafa Khomeini and Imam Khomeini—a bond that enabled Mostafa to understand and reflect the various dimensions of the Imam’s thought, character, and positions.
The author emphasizes that he was not merely a transmitter of the Imam’s views. Rather, many of the Imam’s intellectual, ethical, social, and political qualities were embodied in him.
Among his defining qualities, the author highlights courage, bravery, devotion to the principle of Wilayat (guardianship and religious leadership), steadfastness, moral integrity, and a commitment to the spiritual path toward God, alongside his scholarly capabilities. During the difficult years of struggle and exile, he understood the Imam’s ideas and played an active role in pursuing their realization.
“He was not merely a transmitter of the Imam’s views; many of the Imam’s intellectual, ethical, social, and political qualities were embodied in him.”
