There was much discussion about whether leadership should be by a council or a person. Thanks to Allah, there are others.

Imam Khomeini sent a message to Sayyid Ali Khamenei, condemning the attack and praising him.

First Term

After the martyrdom of Muhammad 'Ali Raja'i, the second president of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the central council of Islamic Republic Party and also the Society of the Teachers of the Seminary of Qom chose Sayyid Ali Khamenei as the candidate of the presidency.

Besides mourning day and night, crying and hitting their heads and chests around the newly built shrine of their great master, guide, and leader; they spared no effort to swear loyalty and allegiance to their new leader and to support a deserving decision taken by the Assembly of Experts. As a result of this, Savak [The Shah’s intelligence Agency] came and arrested him in the night - that night they took him by airplane to Tehran.

This mission was to communicate the Imam’s message to Ayatollah Milani and other clergymen in Khorasan. Any direction they go, you should know it is false and the opposite direction is true. Ayatollah Khamenei remembers that moment, saying:

"It was at that very moment, because of Nawwab Safawi, that the consciousness of Islamic Revolutionary activism sparked inside me.

This very moment, there are some individuals in hawzah, who were qualified marji‘ some twenty, thirty years ago. Iran went upset. If they emphasize not to follow a particular person, they follow him. It is because Iranian people believe in – as before – marji‘yah as a great splendid position, because Iranian people, from the bottom of their hearts, love clerics, but not bogus ones, real clerics, men of religion.

In a place where great hearts cannot stand, in a scene where millions of people lose their patience and great personalities wander, which tongue or pen can depict the situation?

As an impatient drop in that turbulent ocean, how can I describe it?

Criticism of Tatbir in Mourning Ceremonies

In June 1994, while he was speaking for a group of clerics, he seriously criticized some ways of mourning, especially tatbir, and regarded it as bid'a (illegitimate innovation in religion).

Finally, they chose the latter. Iran lost its historical dignity and glory. Ayatollah Khamenei’s upon Imam Khomeini’ decree became a member of this council.

The sensitivity and severity of the former regime against me had increased.
