Imam Ruhullah Khomeini(rh) was just a scholar. He is a mortal human being. But he was certianly a great scholar.
Here are the words of Sheikh Ahmad Deedat (may Allah be pleased with the good he has done for the cause of Islam globally), on Imam Khomeini(rh):
"We went to visit the Imam, Ayatollah Ruhollah Musawi Khomeini. Therewere about forty of us who waited for the Imam and the Imam came in andwas about ten meters away from where I was, and I saw the Imam. He delivered the Lecture to us for about half an hour, and it was nothing but the Quran,the man is like a computerized Quran. And the electric effect he had on everybody, his charisma, was amazing . You just look at the man and tearscome down your cheek. You just look at him and you get tears. I never saw a more handsome old man in my life, no picture, no video, no TV could doj ustice to this man, the handsomest old man I ever saw in my life was this man."
You know there were many people with us from all over the world. And I found types and types and types of sick people, a mental sickness that is. I came across an alim from Pakistan Mauna Sahib and he thought that there was something wrong with our Shia brothers. You see in Iran when someone is lecturing and the name Khomeini is mentioned people stop andeveryone says durood on the Prophet(S) three times. But when the name Mohammad is mentioned they send durood once. And this alim from Pakistan says "look at these people just look at them. What kind of Muslims are these people. When the name Mohammad is mentioned they send durood on the Prophet(s)once but when the name Khomeini is mentioned they send Durood on KHOMEINI three times."
I said " What do they say , what do they say in this so called 'duroodon Khomeini'. "
He said: Peace be upon Mohammad and the family of Mohammad.
I said " Who is Mohammad? Khomeini? Who named Khomeini as Mohammad.Their durood is on Prophet Mohammad(s) and you say it is on Khomeini."
You know it's a sickness. There are many learned men but their mindsare so prejudiced. They are just looking for faults."
