A 250 Years Old Person
A 250 Years Old Person is a book, including speeches by Ayatollah Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, concerning the political life of Imams of the Shia (a). The book revolves around the Theory of a 250-Year-Old Person on which, despite their apparent differences, the lives of Imams of the Shia (a) constitute a continuous movement that began since the demise of the Prophet (s) and lasted until 260/874 for 250 years. They all sought to establish an Islamic government on this account.
