Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said on Sunday that Ayatollah Seyyed Mustafa Khomeini was unique for his scholarly talents, courage, and manner of resistance.

He made the remarks during a meeting with the officials and organizers of the Congress in Commemoration of Ayatollah Seyyed Mustafa Khomeini's Scholarly and Revolutionary Works.

Ayatollah Khamenei expressed his gratitude for the organization of this congress and described the deceased Ayatollah Mustafa Khomeini as having an extraordinary personality from different dimensions, stating: “He was a unique person in terms of scientific talent and courage, self-purification, bravery and fighting manners, and the introduction of his scientific status and thoughts into society…”

Ayatollah Khamenei referred to the influential position of the late Hajj Mustafa Khomeini on the important event of Imam Khomeini's arrest in 1963, saying: “At that time, he did a great and courageous act and managed to lead the people’s movement by gathering a group of fighters in the courtyard of the shrie of Hazrat Masoumeh (sa).”

The Leader of the Islamic Revolution also mentioned that the mysterious death of Mustafa Khomeini on October 23, 1977, prepared the grounds for a wave of movement by the people. Furthermore, he stated, "The manner in which Imam Khomeini confronted this painful loss, one he considered to be a covert divine blessing, revealed part of the great personality of Imam Khomeini by the way he withstood this tragedy and his patience.”

Referring to the self-purification and spiritual tendency of the late Mustafa Khomeini and his simple lifestyle and piety, Ayatollah Khamenei pointed out, “Although he was the son of a great, well-known person, Imam Khomeini, he was extremely humble.”

He went on to say, “The late Hajj Sayyid Mustafa Khomeini loved Imam Khomeini very much, and he stood up to anyone who degraded his father’s personality.”
