My dear son, Ahmad , may God keep and help him: As I regard you an authority on political and social affairs and you have been and still are by my side in all the ups and downs, and manage my political and social concerns with veracity and sagacity, I therefore appoint you to arrange and edit all materials relating to me, for witch, discrepancies and errors may have been made in the mass media. I implore Almighty God who is Present and Observant, to grant you success. I hope that with care in good time you will accomplish the task. Was- salamu alaykum Ruhullah al-Musawi al-Khomeini Thursday September 8, 1988
Imam Khomeini describes his dear son in the following way:“As the overpowering, omnipresent and avenging God is my witness, since the day Ahmad has been administering my affairs in the exterior wing of my house till this very moment that I am writing these lines, he has taken no step and used no pen against my words or my written texts. He has also been painstakingly thorough in ensuring that not one word or even one letter of my sayings or writings is distorted. In addition even if he was sure that a letter needed to be fixed, he did not do so without my permission.”
