مباني فقهي انقلاب اسلامي در انديشه امام خميني (قدس السره)

The Fiqhi Foundations of the Islamic Revolution of Iran in Imam Khomeiniʹs Thought

Historical evidence and documents acknowledge that the Shahʹs tyrannical regime has committed large-scale offences of various kinds in political, cultural and economic aspects. This regime was under the control of foreign powers especially the United States in such a way that Shahʹs government became dependent on and controlled by the foreigners. Under Shahʹs government, the Iranian nation suffered from political, cultural, social and economic oppression. Such were the circumstances which drove Imam Khomeini, who found that it was his duty - prescribed by Islamic law - to combat the reign of a tyrant, and to topple Pahlawiʹs regime and establish an Islamic government. Imam Khomeiniʹs thought was based on such principles like enjoining good and forbidding evil, necessity of rejecting foreign hegemony, necessity of combating injustice and oppression, and the belief in the inseparability of religion and government.
