Abstract

In the paper, it has been intended to survey Imam Khomeini and Dr. Ali Shari`ati`s roles in revolutionary mobilization comparatively. Islamic Revolution of the year 1357, called as great miracle of the century, led to appearance of great ideologists in the field of mobilizing of revolution of whom these two persons are clearly appear. On authors` proofs, Imam Khomeini`s role in the field has been rather more extended to that of Ali Shari`ati and, contrary to the claim of some outstanding scholars of the revolution viewing the latter as the main ideologist of revolutionary thought, the former`s role, including all peoples in every class and group has been of no example. It has been shown that Imam`s discourse during the period before revolution and after it, has been dominant; while that of Shari`ati has been limited to
academic and enlighenment circles and, therefore, more limited.
