I'm not a fan of Khomeini

but this pic is actually really endearing

Thanks for this picture of Imam Khomeini making his own tea in a humble kitchen, silky. It is very beautiful.

OOh yeah ..... i just figired out why the kitchen looks a bathroom to Stinkysword.... cuz Stinky has a lot of craap coming out of his mouth.

I agree.. who cares .. at least he washes his dishes .......I think that concept is foreign to StinkySword and thats why it ammuses him.

I often wonder why is it bothering some ppl that others are working for themselves??

Assalamu Alaikum,

Imam Khumayni (RA) followed the ways of the Prophet (S) and Imam Ali (AS). Even though he was the leader of a nation it was his practice to try to do even the small things himself. He lived a humble life without extravagance.

Ayatullah Sherazi once told the story of a man who was recounting his childhood. The man said that as a child his father took him to the masjid in Kufa. When they entered the child saw a man sitting on the minbar delivering a lecture. But while he was speaking he kept shaking his shirt. The child asked his father why this man was doing this, and the father replied that this is Imam Ali, the leader of the Muslim nation. He only owns one shirt, and when he washes it there is no other to wear in its place. So he wears the wet shirt and is shaking it to dry it.

Those who have visited Ayatullah Seestani, may Allah prolong his life, cannot help but be moved by his ascetic lifestyle. This is the way of the Prophets and Imams, and those who follow their path. We can only hope to become more like Imam Khumayni.

Wassalam
