We can’t talk about Imam and his family and not mention anything from Ayatollah Hashemi Rafsanjani, below you will find some of his words about Imam’s wife.
Through my life I’ve been a neighbor to the lady several times.
My wife has always been a follower of the lady, and the lady’s personality has been a unique one in her view. She always says that the lady used to be strict about the exaggerations that others did about Imam and his life and used to reflect the real life of Imam.
She always tried to show that her life is normal as most of the people, she didn’t waste anything in her life and nor did she live in austerity.
My wife usually talks about her political and historical judgments and says that she always said her opinion strictly to everyone without any exaggerations and in brief, and she was careful not to backbite. She was also very polite when criticizing someone.
Those who lived with her, knew about her wise thoughts and respected him, and the personality of the lady gathered respect for herself somehow that no one was willing to hurt her feelings at all.
And of course she had a rational personality, well as we know she was raised and grown up in an intellectual family and after her marriage she continued living with a great character as Imam. She had quite good experiences in her life.
Her patience during Imam’s difficulties was outstanding. None of us felt any weakness in her.
Well what else should a model lady in our time have?
