When Ayatollah Khomeini was expelled from Iran by the Shah, Ayatollah Yousuf Kashmiri wrote him a letter and invited him to Kashmir. Ayatollah Khomeini replied, “I would love to visit my ancestral home, Kashmir, but due to certain political reason I am afraid I can’t.” (All the letters of Ayatollah Khomeini are preserved in the personal library of Ayatollah Yousuf).
A number of eminent personalities visited Kashmir to meet Aga sb., prominent among them were the Supreme leader of I.R.Iran, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, Ayatollah Mahdevi Qani, Ayatollah Gulzadeh Gafoori, Ayatollah Gulsukhri, Imam Burhanuddin (Imam of Bohras), and others.
