In His Most Exalted Name
Rabi` ath-Thani 4,1390 AH
Dear Ahmad,
I hope you are, God willing, healthy. I am fine, thanks to God, and have no physical ailment. To be sure, spiritual ennui is plenty.
I deem it necessary to remind you that in these days there may be posed questions regarding the issue of Reference Authority [marja`-e taqlid], «1» or God forbid, entanglements may take place there among and between the young. You and all my friends must stay away from such issues, not interfering even as much as a single word. Just as I have recommended the same thing here, neither pros nor cons.
I wish you success and divine confirmation. I am delighted to know that, thanks to God, you are fully engaged in work and I am also glad to know that you are assigned as an instructor. It is a fine occupation. Teach, from the start, as you go on learning; teach even if it is to one pupil. I wish you success. May God's peace and mercy be upon you.
Your father
«۱»- This points to the issue of Reference Authoritativeness [marja`iyyah] that started after the demise of Ayatullah al-`Uzma Sayyid Muhsin al-Hakim on Khordad ۱۲,۱۳۴۹ AHS (May ۲,۱۹۷۰) and became a topic of discussion in the theological centers. On page ۵۵۳,vol.۲ of the book, Nahdat-e Imam Khomeini [The Movement of Imam Khomeini], one of the members of the Imam's office in Najaf is quoted as saying:" Imam spent that night in prayers and contemplation. In the morning, after regular prayers he called me in and said, `Tell my friends I don't want them to enter into such arguments on the level of theological centers in order to support me'."
