Sayyid Hassan Khomeini: All together” was Imam’s motto

Imam never relied on superstitions

''All of Imam’s behaviors were based on human rationality and he never relied on superstition and irrational issues in his personal, political and social decisions.''

Head of the International Organization of Dialogue of Religions and Civilizations in an interview with Jamaran news agency

Imam Khomeini belongs to all the Muslims in the world

Imam Khomeini belonged to all the Muslims, I mean he wasn’t just for the Shias and he supported all the issues of Islam and Palestine. Also he leaded all the poor throughout the world and he Christians and Jews had no difference for him and this is a sign of the Islamic spirit within him that made him look at all the poor with one view and it had no importance for him whether that poor person is a Muslim or not.

A member of Hizbollah’s central council:

Imam Khomeini’s invitation was in the continuance of the prophets’ invitations

Unity of the Muslim nation was among the principles and values which the prophet of Islam stressed on it and the dignity and authority of the Muslims will only reveal by the unity and solidarity against the common enemies.

Syria’s Grand Mufti:

''Imam Khomeini leaded the Islamic revolution of Iran with his fate.''

In the Islamic awakening all the Muslim, Shia or Sunni, have stepped in, and by chanting “Allah-u-Akbar” (Allah is great) and without prejudice shouted for their rightful demands.

Gorbachev and Imam Khomeini

Gorbachev: “I’m sorry! I should have listened to Imam’s message”

In 1999, on the anniversary of the death of Imam Khomeini’s demise, in an interview with the IRIB News Agency in Moscow, Gorbachev regretted ignoring the Imam’s warnings three years before the collapse of the Soviet Union and said: “I think Imam Khomeini’s message addressed all the ages throughout history.” He also added: “When I received this message, I felt the person who wrote it was thoughtful and cared about the situation of the world. By studying the letter, I realized that he was someone who was worried about the world and wanted me to understand more about the Islamic revolution.”

Ayatollah Sayyid Noor Mofidi and Unity:

''The late Imam always insisted on the issue of unity among the Muslim people''

Ayatollah Sayyid Noor Mofidi, who is the Supreme Leader’s representative in Golestan and the leader of the Friday congregational prayers in Gorgan, talked of Imam Khomeini’s insistence on the unity of Muslims and its importance. He also talked of the Supreme Leader’s help in guiding Muslims towards unity and in neutralizing the plots of the enemies of Islam.

Thousands of people witnessed this event, which declared the commencement of the grief of the Shi’a for the loss of the master of martyrs, Imam Hussein (as) and his honourable household, and the difficulties they endured for the sake of Islam.

The importance of Muharram in the words and sayings of Imam Khomeini

The Message of Muharram is portrayed in the following selection of texts chosen from the great leader of the revolution’s statements and words regarding the importance of the ceremonies held mourning the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (as). With the appearance of the new moon, Muharram, the month of heroism, bravery, and sacrifice has commenced. It is a month wherein the blood conquered the sword; it is a month in which the power of truth defeated the wrong forever and stamped the forehead of tyrants and the satanic governments and their stigma.‬
