Will [Appointment of executors of the will]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

Dhou'l-Hijjah 27,1397 AH

I, Rouhullah Mousawi Khomeini, being in sound health, have appointed as executors the honorable Hujjaj of Islam Mr. Aqa Shaykh Habibullah Araqi, Mr. Ridwani Khomeini, Mr. Aqa Sayyid `Abbas Khatam Yazdi and Mr. Aqa Sayyid Ja`far Karimi, may their bounties last, in affairs pertaining to religious law money which is with me. All the money with me and Mr. Khalkhali «2» is religious law money; not a single fils «3» of it is mine that should come to concern my heirs except a small amount of money contained in a packet on the back of which is written:" My personal money." The gentlemen should use this money as stipends in the seminaries in whatever manner they think appropriate. A statement of the money is in my office; I cannot give it as the money is received and spent little by little. In case my family and that of the late Mustafa, may God have mercy on him, wish to remain in Najaf, they should be given the usual amount for their expenses.

I entreat God, the Exalted, to give you success and assistance. I trust that you will exercise the greatest of caution in the matter. May God's peace and mercy be upon you. «4»
