An eminent figure in the history of Iran's rulers

This position [of Leadership] was previously filled by someone who, after more than 60 years of striving on the path of God and foregoing all kinds of pleasures and comforts, became a radiant jewel and an eminent figure not only in the present age but throughout the history of this country’s rulers.

Imam Sayyid Mojtaba Khamenei
