The ceremony was attended by the head of the institute Dr. Hojjat al-Islam Ali Komsari, other senior officials and representative from the cities of Khomein, Qom and Isfahan branches.
The internal affairs department, which runs sites in multiple foreign languages also suggested the mechanism and ways to enhance activities to spread Imam's thought and ideals worldwide.
In recent years, several of Imam’s Quranic, Hadith, mystical and jurisprudential works have been translated into several languages by the international affair department and are widely welcomed by the world audience across different parts of the globe.
After the deliverance of Dr. Komsari speech at the closing ceremony, the official and workers visited Imam Khomeini's holy shrine to pay their respect and pledge allegiance to his ideals.
Imam’s dynamic works, speeches and messages will continue to inspire the believers and faithful for the generations to come for next coming decades and centuries.
The splendor of the Islamic Revolution and the role of Imam Khomeini’s personality, views, thoughts, and literary works in the occurrence and perpetuity of the Revolution; the need of the future generation for the works of the founder of the Islamic Republic and standard-bearer of the global Islamic movement; the publication and propagation of the authentic and complete works and thoughts of His Eminence; and the prevention of historical distortion of the Islamic Revolution were among the factors which prompted Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimin Haj Sayyid Ahmad Khomeini to inquire through an elaborate letter about His Eminence’s view on the manner of studying, compiling and publishing his own works and related documents, and to determine the authority in supervising and ascertaining the authenticity or otherwise of whatever is to be published in the name of Imam Khomeini both in Iran and abroad.
In his reply in the form of a written decree dated September 8th, 1988 [Shahrivar 17, 1367 AHS], His Eminence assigned the responsibility of compilation and collection of all materials relevant to him to his own son, Haj Sayyid Ahmad. In consonance with this decree, the Institute for Compilation and Publication of Imam Khomeini’s Works was established and has commenced its activities. The heart-rending event of the demise of the Imam of the Muslims and the burgeoning need of the Islamic society to obtain His Eminence’s guidelines and literary works have compelled this Institute to expand its realm of activities qualitatively and quantitatively.
Along this line, the law on the preservation of Imam Khomeini’s works was enacted by the Islamic Consultative Assembly (the Iranian Parliament) on November 5th, 1989 [Aban 14, 1368 AHS] and approved by the Council of Guardians as binding and ready for execution. In this manner, pursuant to its momentous religious and legal mission, this Institute has embarked on planning and modifying its organizational structure within the framework of its objectives.
