Sayyid Ahmad Khomeini

In His Most Exalted Name
Sha`ban 2,1392 AH
My dear Ahmad,
Your letter along with a parcel «1» arrived. May you be successful and assisted by the will of God, the Exalted, and your preoccupation with your studies and self-purification be continuous. Praise be to God, I am fine. A few days ago I have replied to your esteemed uncle's «2» letter; I hope it has arrived. I heard that you have named the baby, «3» `Yasir; ' it has not been a good choice and it may also be a cause of talks. One of the child's rights over the father is for a good name to be given to him. An unconventional name may make people say something upon hearing it. For instance, they may say that it has been selected under such and such influences and considerations. This is not reasonable. Anyhow, it is up to you. Your brother «4» and his kinsfolk are fine. He is with me at nights; that is, until after dinner. The weather here has become cooler and the nights are fine. May peace be with you.
Give my regards to the esteemed Aqa. «5» The respected chaste one sends her greetings.
«۱»- oncerning the footnotes of this letter, Sayyid Ahmad Khomeini has thus written:The parcels were mostly public proclamations and reports of the struggle I used to send to Imam with due concealment. «۲»- Pasandideh. «۳»- Imam was thinking that I have given the name `Yasir' after Yasir `Arafat, whereas in those days the names of the revolutionary figures of the early days of Islam such as Yasir (father of `Ammar) and Maytham were frequently chosen for newly born Iranians. Therefore, I named my son Hasan who is presently studying religious sciences in Qum. «۴»- My late brother, Sayyid Mustafa Khomeini. «۵»- Pasandideh.
