RNA – In an interview with Rasa News Agency, Hujjat al-Islam Nasrollah Pejmanfar, the ‎‎representative of the people of Mashhad in the Islamic Consultative Assembly, pointed to ‎the impeccable position of the late founder of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Sayyed ‎Ruhollah Khomeyni, in the hearts of the people and said, “The position of Imam Khomeyni ‎and his acceptance among the people was very special and unique to him because he was ‎able to quickly invite people toward God.”‎

The member of the Islamic Consultative Commission on Cultural Affairs emphasized on the ‎necessity of explaining different aspects of Imam Khomeyni’s lifestyle in society and stated, ‎‎“Today, we must be careful not to distort the Imam’s illuminated way of life and the reality ‎and truth of his existence and we must protect the movement of the Islamic Revolution for ‎ourselves and future generations.”‎
‎ ‎
He referred to the main attributes of the true followers of the Imam and said, “The true ‎followers of the late Imam are those who know his lifestyle well and implement it. In other ‎words, those who can be considered as the true followers of the Imam’s line are those who ‎have been able to maintain their adherence to his position after his death.”‎
‎ ‎
Hujjat al-Islam Pejmanfar‎ said that there were many people who were students of Imam ‎Khomeyni and claimed to follow him and with this same claim, many opportunities were ‎provided for them but at the same time they couldn’t maintain continuity and adherence to ‎the lifestyle of Imam in their actions.‎

His Eminence considered one of the most prominent features of Imam Khomeyni’s ‎illuminating life as his simple lifestyle and emphasized, “The simplicity of Imam Khomeyni’s ‎life must be given more attention today because his simple living is very exemplary. ‎Unfortunately, today we see that some of the associates of the Imam, despite the ‎explicitness he had about the lack of dependence on the world, have different perceptions ‎about the simple life of Imam Khomeyni.”‎
‎ ‎
He continued, “Today, in regard the behaviour of some of the descendants of Imam, we ‎observe that not only doesn’t the Imam’s family observe sanctity, commitment and ‎attachment to Islam but sometimes we see from their behaviours that many of the people ‎experience a paradox in regard to the simple way of life of Imam Khomeyni.”‎
‎ ‎
Referring to the actions of Imam Khomeyni in the construction of the Jamaran husayniyah ‎and his simple lifestyle, Hujjat al-Islam Pejmanfar stated, “The possessions and luxuries ‎created in the Mausoleum of Imam Khomeyni don’t have any correspondence with his ‎simple lifestyle.”‎
