Most of Imam Khomeini’s books on Islamic theosophy and mysticism have been written when he was between twenty-three and thirty years old, and this leaves no doubt that he was a pedagogic genius. It is truly amazing that how a book on Islamic theosophy i.e. “Mohyiddin Arabi’s Philosophy” could have been written by a young man in that age group and with that amount of experience and maturity. For us it leaves no doubt that Imam Khomeini was an academic genius in having authored those books in the prime of his youth.
