TEHRAN – On Sunday morning, the ceremony to announce the awards for the book “Ruhora” from the leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seiyed Ali Khamenei, was held at Tehran’s Institute for Research and Culture.
The event was attended by the author of the book Hadi Hakimian and a prominent group of scholars and cultural officials.
In his admiration, Ayatollah Khamenei described the book as a successful portrayal of Imam Khomeini.
“The book portrayed an image close to Imam Khomeini, depicting wisdom, hyperopia, pure faith, honesty of action, determination in steel, deep belief in words and actions, unpopulated courage, extensive knowledge, delicate and pure spirit, hope, and God’s trust.
“In this book, Imam Khomeini is naturally portrayed as a great and unique leader, whose faith in those people forms half of his achievements,” he said.
“Like the author, I say: May Allah preserve Khomeini until the appearance of Imam al-Mahdi (as Allah re-emerges) for Islam and Muslims,” he pointed out.
He concluded that reading this book is extremely beneficial for our younger generations.
“Ruhollah” is a 412-page documentary account for the life of Imam Khomeini and is published by Shahrestan Adab Publishing House.
Ruhola Khomeini, founder of Islamic Republic in Iran, was a towering figure in 20th century Islamic and political history. Born in Homer, Iran in 1902, he devoted his life to the revival of Islamic principles and resistance to the influence of tyranny and colonialism.
Famous for his deep religious scholarship, unwavering faith and commitment to justice, Imam Khomeini has become a symbol of spiritual and political leadership for millions of Iranians and Muslims around the world. His leadership during the Iranian revolution in 1979 marked a turning point that transformed Iran from a monarchy under Mohammad Reza Pallavi to an Islamic republic based on the principles of justice, independence and Islamic governance.

Despite facing decades of exile and opposition from powerful enemies, his resolve and clear vision eliminated the state, overthrowded the tyranny, and established a government rooted in Islamic values. His influence continues to shape Iran’s political, social and religious landscape, leaving behind a lasting legacy as a reformer, spiritual leader and innovative icon.
