Oct. 1992, No. 100 - 101, PP. 25-267 Word Count : 1,497 Text: Mrs. Khamenei, the wife of Ayatollah Khamenei, Leader of the Islamic Revolution, was born in 1947 in Mashhad.Iran. Q: Would you tell us a little about your schooling? "I learned the necessary things so that I could read books, learn religious matters and arts and crafts, and I helped in the housework of our large family. "I have vivid memories of my schooling, including my learned Quran teacher, Ms. Kaukale Pour Ranjbar, who may have recently passed away. The dress of this respected and dignified lady was unique. Though she did not wear a chador (Islamic head-to-toe covering), she had perfect Islamic hijab (modest dress). Her large scarf, which fully covered her head and neck, reached to her waist. This lady had a particularly innovative style in teaching the Quran. Her face, which was full of dignity and poise, is still before my eyes and I can never forget her.
