Imam Khomeini leadership played essential role in leading revolution to victory

The alert conscience of the nation, under the invaluable leadership of the source of religious emulation (marja’-e taqlīd) the exalted Grand Ayatollah Imam Khomeini, perceived the necessity for following the path of an authentic, doctrinal, and Islamic uprising.

The Islamic Republic system of Iran is a declaration of the social, cultural, political, and economic foundations of the Iranian society based on Islamic principles and norms that reflect the heartfelt desire of the Islamic community.

These fundamental desires are elaborated in the qualities of the great Islamic revolution of Iran, and the revolutionary process of the Muslim people, from the beginning to the victory; principles which were crystallized through the decisive and strong slogans of all segments of society.

Iranian nation longs wholeheartedly to realize this demand. The definitive characteristic of this revolution, apropos other uprisings of Iran during this century, is its ideological and Islamic nature.

After experiencing the anti-despotic constitutional uprising and the anti-colonial uprising for the nationalization of oil, the Muslim nation of Iran learned the invaluable lesson that the specific and essential reason for the failure of these uprisings was the non-doctrinal quality of the struggles.

 Although the Islamic line of thinking and the leadership of the clerics have played an essential and fundamental role in these recent uprisings, the latter declined quickly because they departed from the authentic positions of Islam.

As a result, the alert conscience of the nation, under the invaluable leadership of the source of religious emulation (marja’-e taqlīd) the exalted Grand Ayatollah Imam Khomeini, perceived the necessity for following the path of an authentic, doctrinal, and Islamic uprising.

This time, his leadership provided a new momentum for the committed authors and intellectuals and the country’s defiant clerics who had always been in the forefront of massive uprisings in 1960s. The Islamic Revolution emerged victorious in 1979 under the leadership of Imam Khomeini.
