Karubi’s statement is an example of this example. He also added, “It is necessary for free, righteous, and nationalist parties to be active in the country and to separate religion from politics.”The solution is to hold free and healthy elections with the participation of all sections of the people, to form a legislative assembly, and to prepare a constitutional law that is based on the correct Islamic perspective. Seyyed Hossein explained that what he means by a constitutional law based on the correct Islamic view is that the problems in the Persian constitution should be resolved and the correct Islamic thought be used in the preparation of the new law, and that is the thought that Shia scholars have used since the beginning of Shiism until now.
From a young age, Hussein was educated in Islamic jurisprudence and philosophy in Qom, following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather. However, the death of his father in 1977 — under mysterious circumstances widely believed to have involved the Shah’s secret police — left a lasting impact on him. Mostafa’s death became one of the sparks that reignited Ayatollah Khomeini’s revolutionary momentum, ultimately culminating in the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
