INTRODUCTION This reference aid summarizes the political
activities, positions, and alliances of individual
Iranian clerics in the anti-Shah movement before
the Islamic revolution and under the Khomeini
regime.
Clerical Titles: The lowest title applied to
Iranian Shia clerics is that of "hojjat ol-Eslam"
proof of Islam). That term and the more presti-
gious "ayatollah" (vestige of God) have tradition-
ally been applied as tokens of respect by a
cleric's followers and with the consensus of more
senior clerics. The Khomeini regime also uses an
intermediate title, "hojjat ol-Eslam val Moslemin"
(proof of Islam, light of Muslims) for several
favored lower level clerics such as Consultative
Assembly Speaker Rafsanjani and President Khamenei.
"Seqat ol-Eslam" refers to a specialist in the lore
of the Prophet Muhammad. "Ayatollah al-Ozma"
(grand Ayatollah) is applied only to a handful of
the most important Shia religious leaders.
Technical Details: The spelling of geographical
and personal names may not always follow US
Government usage. Often only one element of a
compound personal name is in common use. More
rarely used elements appear in parentheses, as in
(Husavi-)Khomeini.
When known, dates are given for the period during
which an individual has held a particular position.
In many cases, however, only a single date, incom-
plete dates, or no date can be given. The follow-
ing symbols and terms are used in individual
listings:
o @ indicates a member of the Consultative
Assembly (Majles). The 1st Majles served from
mid-1980 to mid-1984, when the 2nd Majles took
office. Often members were elected in interim
elections and did not serve during the entire term
of the 1st or 2nd Majles, but the specific dates of
such partial terms are not noted. The initials IRP
in this context indicate that the Majles member was
a candidate supported by the Islamic Republic
Party.

o The 1st Assembly of Experts, consisting of 70
clerical and lay members, revised the draft Islamic
constitution in 1979. The 2nd Assembly of Experts,
elected in late 1982, was formed to select a
successor to Ayatollah Khomeini. The Assembly
named Ayatollah al-Ozma Hosein Montazeri as the
as the successor in late 1985, but it remains in
session.
o F indicates an Imam Jomeh (Friday prayer
leader). His location is included in parentheses.
More than one Imam Jomeh may be known is large
towns with several major mosques. In addition, two
or more clerics--some of whom may be designated as
"acting" prayer leaders--may use the same pulpit.
To expand and solidify its control, the clerical
regime has designated the Friday prayer leader as
the central figure in towns and villages. Local
political and security force leaders are expected
to meet with the Friday prayer leader regularly to
coordinate activities and to defer to his wishes.
The regime exploits the weekly prayer service--
which all citizens are expected to attend--to
reinforce a popular sense of community under
clerical leadership. Weekly sermons give a politi-
cal and religious context in which official inter-
pretations of current events, ideology, and
policies are provided.
o KhR stands for Khomeini's personal representa-
tives tives to specific locations, organizations,
and institutions. They have a mandate to keep him
informed and ensure that his directives are imple-
mented.
o Mok stands for Montazeri's representatives, who
serve a function similar to Khomeini's.
