Khomeini family
The Khomeini family is the Iranian religious family of Ruhollah Khomeini, who served as the first supreme leader of Iran from the Iranian Revolution of 1979 until his death in 1989. Other than Khomeini himself, the family were largely politically inactive during his lifetime. Khomeini advised his family members not to enter politics during his lifetime, and, following his death, the family held minimal political influence, despite the efforts of some descendants to enter politics. They were succeeded by the Khamenei family following the election of Ali Khamenei as supreme leader.
The Khomeini family migrated from Nishapur (Persia), to Kintoor in the 18th century, and then resettled back in Iran in Khomeyn in the early 19th century. They claim descent from the seventh Shiite Imam, Musa al-Kadhim, and hence are a Musawi family.
The family did not hold a specific surname prior to the introduction of the Iranian identity booklet (Shenasnameh) in 1921, they would normally go by Hindi, which meant "from India", since their grandfather returned to Iran following their stay in the Kingdom of Awadh in the Indian subcontinent, under the patronage of its ruler whose ancestors were Twelver Shi'a Muslims who traced their lineage back to Persia. However, after the 1921 Persian coup d'état, when Reza Shah passed a law ordering all Iranians to take a surname, Ruhollah chose for himself the surname Khomeini ('from Khomeyn'), whilst his brother Morteza chose Pasandideh ('Pleasant'), and Nur al-Din chose Hindi.
The lineage of the Khomeini family is as follows, where bin means son of:
Ruhullah bin Mustafa bin Ahmad bin Dīn Ali Shah bin Safdar bin Amīr al-Dīn bin Ḥasan bin Yaḥya bin ʿAbd al-Hadī bin Nowrooz bin Ḥasan bin ʿAbd al-Ghanī bin Muḥammad bin Ḥaydar bin Ḥamza bin Musa al-Kāzim bin Jaʿfar as-Sādiq bin Muḥammad al-Bāqir bin ʿAli al-Sajjad bin Ḥusayn al-Shahid' bin ʿAli Ibn Abi Talib.
