He, like other scholars of the Tafkik Sect, was a critic of conventional Islamic mysticism and even though he was aligned with the revolution from a political point of view, he was against mysticism and Sufism from an intellectual and ideological point of view, and for this reason he was disagreed with Ruhollah Khomeini in some cases. [3] [4] For example, he was sent a message to Khomeini about a request to shut down the mystical interpretation of Al-Fatiha Surah of him that was being broadcast on TV those years. Ruhollah Khomeini accepted the request and shut down the interpretation despite the fact that it had many audiences.[ citation needed ]
