Analysis and Examination of the Monotheistic Society Characteristics in the Thought of Ayatollah Khamenei

Monotheistic society reflects the economic and political dimensions derived from the cultural-epistemological measurements from monotheism s social and objective interpretation. It was a response to the lack of research on the social characteristics of Islamic monotheism, which was emphasized and analyzed by often contemporary Muslim thinkers and reformers in the context of the military and intellectual domination and invasion of foreign colonialism and the deviation and decline of Islamic societies. Ayatollah Khamenei (1318 SH) is one of these thinkers who addressed this concept with his approach before the Islamic Revolution. The present study aimed to pay this concept in his thought. The present study is divided into three sections. Its methods are library, documentary, explanatory, and analytical. In the first part, the epistemological and theoretical characteristics, in the second, the economic dimensions and in the third part, the political attributes of the monotheistic society in his thought are discussed. The first part analyzed concepts such as the high importance of monotheism in Islamic thought, monotheistic worldview and ontology, and Islamic monotheistic ideology. The second part proposed a society without monotheistic class differences, economic justice, and poverty and inequality in a monotheistic community and techniques to achieve this goal. The third part explained the role of monotheism in human freedom, denying non-divine governments and proving Islamic rule, the role and position of the ruler and the people in the monotheistic political system and foreign policy in a monotheistic society in Ayatollah Khamenei s thought.
