Imam guarded himself against any possible sin or backbiting.

Keep disputes and strife far from your hearts: Imam Khomeini

Imam Khomeini advised believers belonging to all walks of society to behave well with people, and in company, and be compassionate and kind.

Imam Khomeini warned of veils covering heart

According to Imam Khomeini, they know the proofs for the existence of God and the reality of the Resurrection, but these very same intellectual proofs may be veils covering the heart which do not permit the light of faith to shine in.

Imam Khomeini: The world is God’s Presence. Do not commit any sin in His presence.
