Imam Khomeini’s disciples who used to accompany Imam during his exile in the holy city of Najaf recall that his eldest son who himself was a great Muslim scholar and interpreter of holy Quran, used to walk and paved the way between the holy cities of Najaf and Karbala on foot with great devotion along groups of mourners on the eve of Arba’een.
During the spiritual journey on the way, Mostafa Khomeini used to lead the prayers and shed tears at the events of Karbala.
He used to behave like an ordinary man despite the fact that he had been son of Imam Khomeini, a great religious authority at that time.
This all shows Imam Khomeini family’s devotion towards the people of the Prophet's Household.
