Imam Khomeini through his historic speeches and messages highlighted that the commander of the faithful (Imam Ali-PBUH) is the marvel of the world, who has no equal by kindness in the world-from the beginning until the eternity- unless the more respectable Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him).
Imam Ali’s (PBUH) auspicious birth happened in the holy month of Rajab. Rajab is one of the sacred months dignified by Allah. Moreover, it's the month that has the honor of venerable occasions: in this month the holy prophet of Islam Mohammad (PBUH) was assigned to mission of the guidance for humanity.
Therefore the family of the honorable prophet Mohammad called it The Month of the Commander of the Faithful, Imam Ali (PBUH).
Further more, it's the season of supplications. The prophet tells us: " God to whom be ascribed all perfection and majesty nominates, in the seventh sky, an angel called the supplicant, when the month of Rajab comes, this angel exclaims each night of Rajab till morning : blessed be the one who extols God, blessed be the faithful ".
The founder of the Islamic Republic also believed that Imam Ali (PBUH) established eternal patterns of social justice which should be followed by generations to come over the centuries.
The late founder of the Islamic Republic frequently used to maintain that Imam Ali (PBUH),the truthful infallible successor of the holy prophet of is the appearance of the absolute justice.
According to Imam Khomeini, in the early days of Islam, the ideal Islamic government ruled twice: first at the time of the Holy Prophet Muhammad and secondly when Imam Ali ibnAbiTalib (peace be upon them) governed the Muslim societies and set unprecedented divine patterns.
The religious leader of contemporary history maintained that legacy of Imam Ali (PBUH) should be preserved in all fields of human societies. He also urged the whole human societies to follow footsteps of Imam Ali (peace be upon him) and other truthful successors of the holy prophet of Islam in order to gain prosperity and salvation.
