True Piety

I saw true piety in the life of the Imam with my own eyes. On the day of migration from Iraq to Kuwait, the Imam stated: “Ahmad, give me my clothes.” When the suitcase of the Imam was opened I did not see anything other than a single robe and cloak, a shirt, an undergarment and a towel. It was there and then that I realized that this leader and renowned religious authority who although would pay every month large sums of money in Iran and Iraq to the seminary students had nothing except this insignificant amount of clothing. This is a great lesson for the men of religion and morals as well as the authorities that it was with these outstanding traits that the Imam went to war against infidels and global arrogance and emerged victorious.
