Hassan Khomeini, born in 1351 SH in Qom, is a cleric and the grandson of the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Imam Khomeini (RA), who also holds the custodianship of his shrine and the institute for publishing and compiling his works. Seyyed Hassan Khomeini is also a member of the Board of Trustees of Islamic Azad University and a teacher at the Hawza, with the majority of his activities focused on teaching in Qom and the Dar al-Shifa School of this city.
Birth and Early Life
Seyyed Hassan Khomeini was born on the 1st of Mordad, 1351 SH, in the city of Qom. He is the son of Seyyed Ahmad Khomeini, the second son of Imam Khomeini (RA), and his mother is Seyyede Fatemeh Tabatabai, the daughter of Ayatollah Soltani Tabatabai, one of the high-ranking clerics. At the time of Seyyed Hassan's birth, his grandfather Imam Khomeini (RA) was at the peak of his struggle activities against the Pahlavi regime; therefore, Seyyed Hassan Khomeini spent his childhood intermittently in various locations. He spent the peak days of the Revolution in Najaf, Tehran, and then in the Neauphle-le-Château region in France.
Education
He began his primary education in the city of Najaf at the Alavi School of that city, but with the victory of the Islamic Revolution, he returned to the country with his family and continued his primary education at 19 Aban and Pars Schools (Qom) and Nikan Tehran, finally completing this period at Habib ibn Mazahar School in Jamaran. His guidance period and some grades of high school were spent at Nikan School, but in 1366 SH (in the second year of high school), he departed for the war fronts, and ultimately in 1369 SH, while having completed the fourth year as a private candidate, he obtained his mathematics diploma.
Hawza Education
He was born into a fully clerical family who, from both the paternal and maternal sides, were counted among the high-ranking clerics in the Shia world; this matter caused there to be an expectation for him to maintain this family tradition. During adolescence, he first engaged in school education and then participated in the imposed war, until towards the end of the war and from 1368 SH, he began his Hawza education. Seyyed Hassan Khomeini began his Hawza education under the supervision of his grandfather Ayatollah Soltani Tabatabai in Qom and pursued his preliminary lessons at Razaviyeh School and Kermaniha School until in 1372 SH, upon completing the preliminary lessons, he officially donned the clerical attire.
Teaching
During the same study period and from 1370 SH, he engaged in teaching preliminaries at Kermaniha School, and after teaching advanced levels, from 1379 SH he began teaching advanced levels as well. Seyyed Hassan Khomeini's teaching of Kharij of Usul began in the academic year 1389–90 SH and currently continues at the location of Dar al-Shifa School in Qom.
Works
The result of Seyyed Hassan's efforts in research and study includes books, some of which are:
- Jurisprudential Foundations of Family Planning;
- Ten Articles;
- Reason of the Path;
- Comprehensive Culture of Islamic Sects: which is the result of his ten-year effort in the field of Islamic sects and denominations.
Custodianship of the Institute for Compiling and Publishing the Works of Imam Khomeini (RA)
Following the death of Seyyed Ahmad Khomeini, Seyyed Hassan's father, on 25th of Esfand, 1373 SH, according to his will and the approval of the Supreme Leader, Seyyed Hassan Khomeini at the age of 22 replaced his father as the custodian of the Institute for Compiling and Publishing the Works of Imam Khomeini and began activities.
Family
Seyyed Hassan Khomeini married Seyyede Fatemeh (Neda Bojnordi), daughter of Ayatollah Seyyed Mohammad Mousavi Bojnordi, at the age of 24, and the result of this marriage so far is four children named Seyyed Ahmad, Seyyede Narges, Seyyede Fereshteh, and Seyyed Mohammad Hadi.
