Wilāyat al-Faqīh: Islamic Government (The Guardianship of the Islamic Jurist) by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini

Açıklama

Explore the foundational doctrine behind the Islamic Republic of Iran with Wilāyat al-Faqīh: Islamic Government by Ayatollah Khomeini. First published in 1970, this groundbreaking political treatise lays out the theory that a just and learned Islamic jurist (faqīh) should hold final authority over both religious and state affairs until the return of the Hidden Imam. Arguing for governance based on Sharia law and clerical oversight, Khomeini’s work reshaped modern Islamic political thought and became the ideological cornerstone of Iran’s 1979 Constitution. Essential for students of Middle Eastern politics, religious governance, and modern theocratic models, this influential book bridges theology and statecraft in a powerful blend of doctrine and action.
