From father to Leader: Arabic memoir of Imam Khamenei’s father unveiled in Tehran

The book offers a narrative of the life, character, and scholarly-spiritual path of Ayatollah Seyyed Javad Khamenei, who was both the father and teacher of the martyred Leader of the Revolution.

The book is structured as a firsthand account from Ayatollah Khamenei himself and aims to shed light on the educational and intellectual foundations that shaped his personality.

The book holds particular importance in documentation and oral history.

It is not merely a family memoir but serves as a window into the social and religious fabric of Iran, the lifestyle of religious scholars in Iran and Iraq, and the relationship between family upbringing and the formation of influential figures in contemporary Iranian history.

Through personal and well-documented narratives, the book highlights values such as honesty, religious education, and the lifestyle of Iranian scholars.
