The influence of Imam Khomeini’s leadership in awakening the oppressed and Muslims of the world is not hidden from anyone.

This influence from the religious aspect is very rare, so that we don’t know of a personality whose thinking, movement and performance have made such an impact in history and on the world level.

Imam Khomeini changed the meaning of power not only in the Islamic world but in the whole world. The power that before him was based on resources and material interests, after the victory of the Iranian Islamic Revolution, it became respect for beliefs, cultivation of ideas and information.

By studying the lives of the leaders of the past revolutions, we see that none of them can reach Imam Khomeini’s ability to establish intimate and popular relationships with the oppressed and other social classes. More than any other leader, the Imam succeeded in conveying the messages of the Qur’an to the Muslim masses in simple language, and this is considered one of the great secrets of the victory of the Islamic Revolution.

Also, his simple life and away from luxury gave him the authority to lead the Muslims. Imam’s life

During the Talib era, when the reference was imitation and when he placed himself at the head of power, it was accompanied by simplicity. Imam (RA) did not think only about the Islamic nation and their salvation from material and spiritual backwardness, but he also thought about the salvation of all nations. Sending a message to Gorbachev and the Pope showed his human-divine concern in saving people and cultures that had deviated from the path of guidance and eternal happiness towards worldly happiness.

Imam Khomeini (may Allah be pleased with him) is the only thinker who, during the past few centuries, both theorized about the revolution and put it into practice. In history, we rarely find people who write why there should be a revolution and then themselves. , come to the field and bring about the revolution they talked about.

In fact, the connection between science and practice is one of the reasons for Imam’s success in establishing the Islamic revolution.

One of the most important effects of Imam Khomeini and the Islamic revolution is the use of religion in order to create a desirable social transformation. Based on religion, Imam (RA) changed the concept of power and Muslims realized that the real power is the divine power and with the help of such power they can achieve their rights.

The Imam showed all the Muslims and the oppressed of the world that the only way to achieve legitimacy and acceptability is to act on the basis of the last divine religion, Islam. A religion that has plans and words for the whole world. The Imam and the Islamic Revolution of Iran have shown well that the only way to salvation is Islam.

Examples of the impact of the Islamic revolution on Muslims

Political awareness: After the victory of the Islamic revolution, many people’s organizations were formed spontaneously and the connection of these organizations with other parts of the world was established, which, of course, provoked the anger and strong reactions of many Western circles, America was at the head of them, but the men And regardless of these disturbances, Iranian women continued to issue Islamic spiritual awakening to such an extent that thanks to the model provided by the Islamic Revolution for social political presence, the people of other countries gradually became aware of what they had lost. We can see an example of it in the choice of two principles “Hijab and presence in the community” by Turkish women.

Not only Muslims, but tens of thousands of Westerners, in the light of Imam’s awakening and enlightenment, became familiar with the divine values of Islam and embraced the religion of Islam.

Islamic Hijab: The image of women presented by the Islamic Revolution has left two important effects:

First of all, a Muslim woman is not a stay-at-home and passive woman. Westerners thought that Iranian women do not have many social activities and are only engaged in housework.

Second, the negative attitudes about Muslim women decreased and the type of hijab worn by women of the Islamic Republic was announced to other countries in different ways.

Unity of religion and government: Currently, Islamic currents are among the most important political groups in the world and they believe that religion and politics are related to each other and cannot be separated. This belief is influenced by the Islamic revolution and its universalism theory, which means combining religion and politics.

With the victory of the Iranian Islamic Revolution, Imam Khomeini put forth this theory as the highest and broadest manifestation of the link between religion and government, and he was of the opinion that the will of the oppressed will eventually lead to the leadership of the world by them.

Of course, it is not difficult to understand the companionship of Islamism (religion) and globalism (politics) in the thought of the Islamic Revolution, because the establishment of the Islamic Ummah, which can unite Muslims regardless of nationalities and various ethnic and political obstacles, is one of the values and slogans. It is an Islamic revolution.

In addition, the emphasis of the Islamic revolution on the necessity of following the Holy Quran and Islamic rules leaves no doubt that this revolution seeks to strengthen the fundamental principles of Islam in the world.

The connection between Islamic religion and politics caused by the Islamic revolution made the American government to consider Islamism as one of the factors of the destruction of the world and to consider the Islamic revolution as a major threat to its interests, as a result, to try to eliminate the enemies of the Islamic movements. Political support.

Fighting against arrogance: One of the developments after the Islamic revolution is the choice of Islam as a way to fight against tyranny and arrogance.

Changing the Palestinian issue from a nationalist and communist issue to an Islamic issue is one of the most prominent values borrowed from the Islamic Revolution. Therefore, the Palestinian movement has found Islam as the only efficient tool to get out of the deadlock of its endless struggle.

Intifada, its method and characteristics, not being dependent on internal groups and foreign countries, converting mosques and expanding their number due to strengthening the spirit of Islamic Jihad, stability and unity among fighters, development of people’s presence in Friday prayers and congregations, publication of revolutionary magazines, all And all of these are signs of the Palestinian movement’s approach to Islam and the use of Islamic methods of Iran’s Islamic Revolution in the fight against Israel.

One of the Palestinian leaders said: It was the Iranian revolution that opened a new era for the Palestinian movement and caused the Palestinian issue to be viewed only from the perspective of Islam. (1)

In different ways, the Islamic revolution broke the accepted structures in the world and replaced them with new value structures. For example:

In the idea of modernity, in order to transfer the traditional society to the modern one, a global model of development is needed, a model taken from the advanced West.

But by questioning the foundations of Western development and rejecting extreme worldliness, the Islamic Revolution of Iran said that there is no need to resort to Western models in social development.

By rejecting the theory of development and life without spirituality, the Islamic revolution opened a new value space for the world, in which both material and spiritual needs are answered.

Popularity: One of the characteristics and values of Iran’s Islamic Revolution is its popularity. That is, Islam has the ability to mobilize masses of people.

Dr. Hassan Al-Tarabi, the leader of the Islamic Front of Sudan, says: The Islamic revolution gave the idea of people’s work and the use of masses of people as a precious gift to the experiences of Islamic da’wah in the Islamic world. The tendency towards the idea of popular work has pushed the Islamic movements towards religious and ethnic unification, this has made political Islamic movements far away from differences and divisions and made them stronger organizations, wider facilities, and wider support. And it has more stability. (2)

Many examples of people’s approach can be seen in political movements, including the choice of people’s slogans, where Allah Akbar and La Allah La Allah are the most important of these slogans.

Another point is that the Islamic revolution taught the world that the legitimacy of the political system must be based on the real votes of the people, and that is why it put its principle on the referendum, and this was not only a brave act, but an idea that goes beyond western democracy. .

Global model: The Islamic revolution aims to create a world order based on religion in the world, and to achieve this goal, it has adopted two strategies. First, following a short-term program with the aim of confronting globalization in the western sense and trying to prevent the establishment of a world system based on western teachings and values. And secondly, the implementation of a long-term program in order to weaken Western globalization by presenting a picture of a desirable and ideal Islamic system and arousing the enthusiasm of the world for this government.

The ideal world system from the point of view of the Islamic revolution

۱- This system is the same system of imamate and ummah which was formed under the leadership of the infallible imam, and the imam establishes a just system by taking advantage of his knowledge, infallibility and divine assistance, and all nations, states and lands leads to human and Islamic perfection under the title of one nation.

Leadership and imamate in the Islamic world system has three characteristics: First, leadership is the center of belief, spirituality and politics. Secondly, the leader is chosen by the Prophet or directly (special Nawab) and indirectly (general deputy) of the Infallible Imam. Thirdly, taking over the government is related to the acceptance of the people.

۲- The global Islamic society has complete independence, flourishes talents and fulfills the basic and essential human innate and spiritual needs. In this system, there is no mention of national ties, multiple and deceitful leaderships, human fallible laws, and Satan’s rule, which is the root of conflicts, arguments, and controversies in the world.

۳- Humans in the desirable global Islamic society entrust the actions of God’s sovereignty and law on earth to the divine leader. In fact, God’s sovereignty is manifested in the form of the will of the Imam and removes the existing credit and contractual boundaries in the world.

The results that should be obtained from the relationship and interaction of the Islamic revolution with the Islamic awakening are many and numerous, for example:

– Although the Islamic awakening has a long history, the Islamic revolution played a decisive role in its expansion and deepening.

– The influence of the Islamic Revolution on the Islamic awakening is confirmed from various aspects, for example, from the words of Imam Khomeini and the positions of the Supreme Leader, as well as from the growth of Islamic developments in recent decades, the impact of the Iranian Revolution on the Islamic awakening movement can be seen.

Also, the Islamic Revolution of Iran intensified the idea of trying to achieve equality and social justice among the people of the world and developed the reaction of Muslims against the West and Westernization.

Today, there is no doubt that the resistance of the Venezuelan government and people against America is influenced by the Islamic revolution.

With the support of the Islamic Republic, Castro continues to confront the revolution and his country with America.

Hezbollah of Lebanon is trying to preserve Lebanon’s independence from the Zionist regime by learning from the independence of the Iranian people.

Syrian authorities have repeatedly announced that they have learned the lesson of standing up to usurping Israel from the Iranian revolution.

Afghan warriors were able to expel the Russians from their land by relying on the lessons of the Iranian Islamic Revolution.

Iran’s achievement of political, economic, cultural and military independence has become a model for other countries, including the Middle East, and they are fighting against the aggressors of their country with the same slogans (death to America), methods (popular mobilization), weapons. (light and conventional weapons) and symbols (reliance and reliance on God) want the Islamic revolution, and this is what has made the arrogance worried about the occurrence of one or more victories similar to the victory of the Islamic Revolution of Iran.
