The Islamic Revolution of Iran, led by Imam Khomeini, was a miracle that stunned the world and realized what was appeared to be impossible. He introduced true Islam: an Islam capable of managing society in various aspects of internal and external affairs, such as resisting the East and the West and defending the oval of Islam and preserving the Islamic state. The Islamic system is a powerful system and religion has a place in the context of people's lives from cradle to grave. Preserving the system is obligatory and disturbing it is forbidden. This jurisprudential view of the Imam against the rival’s view led to a new movement in the world, which caused the hatred of the enemies of Islam and imposed Saddam,s war against Iran.

It also seeks to examine the jurisprudential principles of Imam Khomeini in holy defense.
