Chapter Six: May 5th and the Formation of a New Concept of Politics in Iran مقاله

خلاصه ماشینی:

As long as loyalty to the central signifier of the political matter in the logic of Imam Khomeini remains standing in this country, it is impossible for the tribulations of the era, the nation of Iran, the elites of Iran, the political system of Iran, and the Islamic Revolution to be diverted from its path. Before the 1340s and the emergence of Imam Khomeini on the scene of Iran's political and social transformations, there were no harmonious thoughts regarding the foundation of political thought within the realm of Islamic thought in the modern era. What is researched today around the world as the Islamic Revolution, the Islamic Republic, Islamic politics, and political Islam, and which also has a decisive impact on critical theories regarding modernity and the intellectual, philosophical, ideological, and cultural branches of the West and their political-social tendencies such as liberalism, communism, socialism, and secularism, and most importantly, what is currently flowing in the Islamic world as the fourth wave of Islamic awakening, is undoubtedly impossible to identify and analyze without understanding the Imam's type of view toward the field of politics from the perspective of Islamic teachings. In this respect, according to Imam Khomeini, June 5th (15 Khordad) is a turning point in the history of Iran's transformations, as it brought the ideal of Islamic politics—which consists of maintaining the living space of Muslims in all conditions—closer to the political realities in the people's living space, and through this path, the boundary between politics and religion became blurred; a boundary that Westerners for years tried to use to free politics from any constraint or restriction and to accept no text or control over politics.
