Al-Khumaini claims that God appointed him as a leader

Ruhullah Al-Khumaini writes:

قضیه ولایت فقیه یک چیزی نیست که مجلس خبرگان ایجاد کرده باشد ولایت فقیه یک چیزی است که خدای تبارک و تعالی درست کرده است همان ولایت رسول الله هست

“The matter of the governorship of the jurist (Wilayat-ul-Faqih) is not a matter established by the Council of Experts. The governorship of the jurist (Wilayat-ul-Faqih) is a matter established by the blessed and exalted God. It is the same governorship of the Messenger of God (Wilayat-ur-Rasul).” [Sahifeh, volume 10 page 308]
