According to the AhlulBayt World Assembly News Portal: <\/strong>On Sunday, June 5, 2022, the 33rd<\/sup> anniversary of the demise of Imam Khomeini (r.a.) was commemorated by the Iraqi Office of AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly in a webinar which was attended by the country\u2019s intellectuals.<\/p>\n

Referring to the Occultation of Imam Mahdi (a.s.), Hojat al-Islam Pahlavanzadeh Behbahani, the head of the office of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly in Iraq, as one of the speakers of the ceremony said, \u201cSimultaneously with the start of the Imamate of Imam Mahdi (a.s.), his Minor Occultation began, during which, four people were the Imam\u2019s selected deputies. Before the demise of Ali ibn Muhammad al-Samuri, the fourth selected deputy of Imam Mahdi (a.s.), the Imam announced the beginning of his Major Occultation in a letter.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn his special letter, Imam Mahdi (a.s.) emphasized on referring to the narrators of the hadith in the events. Accordingly, the ulama, who are the narrators of the hadith, have a leading role in society, and it is their duty to implement the divine precepts in society. On this basis, Imam Khomeini (r.a.) presented the theory of Velayat-e-Faqih, according to which the rule of affairs is in the hands of the Faqih. Imam Khomeini (r.a.) began to teach Velayat-e-Faqih after migrating to Najaf,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

Noting the rarity of such issues in the seminaries of that time, the head of the office of AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly in Iraq stated, \u201cWhen Imam Khomeini (r.a.) began teaching Velayat-e-Faqih discussions in Najaf, Ayatollah Sayed Yusuf Hakim, the son of Grand Ayatollah Sayed Mohsen Hakim, the supreme authority of the time, burst into tears with extreme enthusiasm.\u201d<\/p>\n

Referring to the theory of Velayat-e-Faqih, Pahlavanzadeh Behbahani stated, \u201cIn this theory, Imam Khomeini (r.a.) argued that the Faqih should have full authority. Accordingly, with the efforts of Imam Khomeini, the Islamic Revolution of Iran achieved victory.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also, on the continuous animosity with the Revolution, this professor of the seminary of Najaf said, \u201cMany pressures and conspiracies were made against the Revolution by both the Eastern and Western blocs. But the wise leadership of Imam Khomeini (r.a.) caused all these conspiracies to fail.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Islamic Revolution is progressing every day, and in the light of the Revolution, Iran became a developed country that has stood against the United States,\u201d Behbahani emphasized.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe saw that Grand Ayatollah Sistani vigorously defended Islam and Muslims by issuing a fatwa on jihad al-Kifa’I (Al-Wajib al-Kifa’i is a kind of religious obligation that addresses no specific person and if it is performed by some duty-bound Muslims, the others will no longer held accountable); the fatwa that saved Iraq and the region, and after its issuance, Iraq was liberated and regained its independence,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cHojat al-Islam Nasser al-Din Ansari, a scholar and researcher on the history of the ulama, said that in response to the question of some ulema on attending Imam Khomeini\u2019s classes, Grand Ayatollah Sistani first stood up in honor of the Imam, and then said, \u201cYou cannot understand the value and greatness of Imam Khomeini\u2019s action. But we, who were under siege by Saddam, understand that. I listened to all Imam Khomeini\u2019s sermons\u201d noted the head of the Office of AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly in Iraq.<\/p>\n
