Abstract

Imam Khomeini is a multidimensional thinker who reflects philosophical, theological, jurisprudential and mystical aspects in his views and thoughts. The fact that the thought itself is the sum of these different aspects makes that person important, but putting these ideas into action doubles the importance of that person Apart from the general theoretical and practical importance of Imam Khomeini, this article examines the relationship between Imam Khomeini's thought and the mystical thought of Ayatollah Shahabadi (his master). The method of this article is descriptive-analytical. The findings indicate that a kind of dipole in mysticism, which is represented in the form of the current situation / the desired situation (in the opposite form), is reflected in the thoughts of Shahabadi and consequently Imam Khomeini. The transition from mysticism to political theory, which begins with Shahabadi's thought and crisis and reaches the political thought founded by Imam Khomeini, is manifested in a broad form and in "action", ie political leadership.
