  Seyyed Husayn Borujerdi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grand Ayatollah Seyyed Husayn Borujerdi (آیت الله العظمی حسین بروجردی in Persian, 1875 – 1962) was a Shi'a Grand Ayatollah.
Burojerdi was born in the city of Borujerd in the province of Lorestan in Iran, hence the surname.
Ayatollah Burojirdi passively opposed the Pahlavi regime's agrarian reforms, which he called "agrarian destruction," as in his view, the confiscations of the Pahlavi shahs disrupted the fabric of rural life and eroded religious institutions.

Ayatollah Borujerdi was interested in good handwriting and correct syntax in writing, to the extent that he wanted to include them in the syllabi for the purpose of the tests.
Sheikh Muhammad Taqi Qummi, as the Secretary-General, represented Ayatollah Borujerdi in Dar ul-Taqrib, Cairo.

 Iranica.com - GOLPAÚYAGAÚNI, Ayatollah
After the death of Ayatollah Abu'l-Qa@sem K¨o÷i in 1992, many of his followers turned to Golpa@yaga@ni as their marja¿-e taqlid, taking over the supervision of the former's legacy, but the administration of Al-Khoei Foundation in London became a matter of controversy among the members of the K¨o÷i family.
Ayatollah Golpa@yaga@ni's role in the socio-political changes of the second half of the 20th century is significant despite his essentially apolitical attitude.
In October 1962, he joined Ayatollah K¨omeyni and other leading clerics of Qom to oppose the government's new law on elections to the provincial councils, which no longer required that members of those councils should be Muslim.

Ayatollah Sayyid ‘Ali Khamene’i seemed to many, prior to the death of Ruhollah Khomeini, to be a cleric of the second rank, albeit a politician of the first rank.
As the concept of clerical rule was adumbrated by Khomeini, it based the right of the clerical establishment to intervene in state affairs on a daring expansion of the traditional Shi‘ite concept of the marja‘, the clerical scholar who is a source of tradition and religious rulings.
Ayatollah Hossein ‘Ali Montazeri, generally conceded to be an ayatollah ‘ozma, was Khomeini’s own, official choice as successor until the two fell out near the end of Khomeini’s life.
