Islamic Revolution, Secret of Victory and Survival
This analysis was incomprehensible for many of the domestic and foreign political analysts because in the political theories taught at universities, such a doctrine did not exist. But the realities caused the revolution launched by the people of Iran to be recognized in the world under the title of "revolution in the name of God".
Imam's analysis of the formation and victory of the Islamic Revolution was not based on any of the prevailing theories but rather revolved around Qoranic principles, which gave glad tidings of victory to believers and Muslims, provided that they also strived for religion.
On the basis of this divine and monotheistic outlook, continuation of the path and survival of the revolution are not feasible unless the Iranian people act according to religion and all its principles. In this respect, Imam Khomeini believed that "undoubtedly, secret of the survival of the Islamic Revolution lies in its very secret of victory. And the people know this secret, and the future generations will study in history books that the two main pillars of the revolution were divine incentive and sublime goal of Islamic government, thanks to the nation's unity and solidarity. I advise the present and future generations that if they want to establish Islam and rule of Allah and curtail the hands of the colonialists from the country, do not lose this divine incentive prescribed by God the Almighty in the Qoran."
Another point underscored by Imam Khomeini was the necessity of constant efforts to realize the ideals and goals of the revolution. This effort is worthy of consideration from different aspects. The effort should be made in all economic, political, social and cultural arenas. However, one of the most important arenas of activity is the struggle for re-understanding Islam and the laws and commands enshrined in the holy Qoran aimed at fulfilling the needs of mankind.
Today, there are various achievements in these areas, but there are also some problems in this regard. Obviously, one can attribute different causes to these problems, but this sketchy paper attempts to deal with the essence of the Imam's last will and testament that cautions us against forgetting our divine incentive.
Two factors seem to play a greater role in diluting our divine incentive. First, lack of understanding of the divine laws and commands; and second, selfishness. It is obvious that selfishness and attachment to worldly pleasures are major hurdles in the way of achieving lofty goals of the Islamic Revolution.
Islamic Revolution is a divine gift bestowed on the Iranian people, who should try hard to safeguard and preserve it. But of course, the greater responsibility lies with the government officials.
It is true that the revolution is today faced with several problems, but removal of these problems is by no means impossible. We should trample upon our selfishness, and enhance our trust in Allah, in which case God will fulfill His promise and help us in getting over our problems.
Finally, in the same way that the Islamic Revolution emerged victorious by following the line of Imam Khomeini, likewise, in order to perpetuate this revolution, it is also necessary to follow the thoughts and views of the late Imam. We should not allow even an iota of doubt in this belief..BAKtions us against forgetting our divine incentive.
Two factors seem to play a greate when different comments from Eastern and Western circles emerged in this respect, Imam Khomeini presented another unique analysis. The Imam said: "Undoubtedly, the Islamic Revolution in Iran is distinct from all other revolutions in terms of emergence and struggle and incentive behind the revolution and uprising. There is no doubt that the revolution was a divine gift bestowed on the oppressed people of Iran."
This analysis was incomprehensible for many of the domestic and foreign political analysts because in the political theories taught at universities, such a doctrine did not exist. But the realities caused the revolution launched by the people of Iran to be recognized in the world under the title of "revolution in the name of God".
