When he reached Imam Mahdi (aj)...

When he reached Imam Mahdi (aj), I saw that for 15 minutes his ear was near the mouth of Imam Mahdi (aj) and orders were being given and the Imam said: “Yes, I have done that, or inshallah I will do that.” For exactly 15 minutes Imam spoke quickly into the ear of Imam Khomeini. When this finished, Imam Khomeini moved slightly away and Imam Mahdi (aj) went to sit. Imam Khomeini waved his hand and the 11 people bowed down and Imam Khomeini walked out backwards (i.e.

did not turn his back on them) and did not go to the shrine. I asked: “Why didn’t Imam Khomeini go to the shrine?” They said: “Imam Ali (as) is sitting here, where should he go?” ”[^3] * * Ne’matullah Jazairiye Husayni Hazrat Baqiyatullah has commanded so: * * One day I was at the house of Agha Fadhl Lankarani, one of the teachers of the Islamic Seminary in Qom. He narrated from one of his friends that: “We were with the Imam in the holy city of Najaf and the conversation turned to Iran.

I said: “What is your command about removing the Shah from Iran? One cannot remove a tenant from his house, and you want to want to remove the Shah of the nation?” Imam sat silent. I thought maybe he hadn’t heard me. I repeated my words. Imam got upset and said: “So-and-so! What are you saying? Would Hazrat Baqiyatullah Imam Mahdi (aj) tell me anything wrong?

The Shah must go.”[^4] ** ** Hujjatul Islam Kausari [^1]: Sura A’raf, Verse 43 [^2]: The grave is in Najaf, in the shrine of Imam Ali (as) [^3]: Mardan Ilm dar Maidan Amal, Pg. 387-388 [^4]: Paa be Paaye Aaftaab, Vol 4, Pg. 125 Previous…
