Abstract

After the Iranian Mashrooté Revolution, the Shiite
Political Thought Faced a new era of much attention,
contemplation and explanation, when religious scholars
embarked on a new research project to address the new
situation. The most serious attempt to deal with the
theoretical gap and crisis in Islamic state was contributed by
Imam Khomaini. In his theory of state, he conjoined the
Shiite principle of Imamate, the jurisprudence principle, and
human law, which brought about radical changes in the
socio-political structure of the Islamic society. This article is
to study Imam Khomaini's perspctive on the Islamic state.
