Leader of the Islamic Revolution - Ayatollah Khomeini (r.a.)

Ruhollah Khomeini was a man who single handedly captivated the people of Iran, against the brutal Shah. Khomeini was named Time's Man of the Year in 1979 and also one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people of the 20th century.

Imam Khomeini was the leader of the Iranian revolution, he transformed the country of Iran, which was the most westernised country in the Middle East, to a country overwhelmed with Muslims living according to Islamic Conduct as in the time of Prophet Mohammed (a.s.)

Most of Khomeinis revolution took place whilst he was exiled, showing the amount of loyalty the people had towards Khomeini.

Khomeini strived to create an goverment which was intertwined with Islamic Sharia according to the School of Ahlulbayt (a.s.)

Khomeini believed in Muslim unity and solidarity and its spread throughout the world. "Establishing the Islamic state world-wide belong to the great goals of the revolution." He declared the birth week of Muhammad (the week between 12th to 17th of Rabi' al-awwal) as the Unity week. Then he declared the last Friday of Ramadan as International Day of Quds in 1979.

Despite his devotion to Islam, Khomeini also emphasised international revolutionary solidarity, expressing support for the PLO, the IRA, Cuba, and the South African anti-apartheid struggle.


In 1979 98.2% of the people of Iran voted for an Islamic Republic

When Imam Khomeini returned from exile, over 7 million Iranians took to the streets to greet the Imam, the largest gathering for a non-presidential leader recorded in modern history.
Allah is Great!

@hgm321 Salam man don't believe in what this guy says, hes not a Muslim. Hes disguised as a Muslim to start tension between Muslims. Hafiz

we need such revolution in countries like Pakistan being devoured by parasitic and corrupt feudal lords

and certainly Iran owes a lot to this great revolutionary legend who along with many of his devoted country men freed this country from the cruel clutches of Shah iran. Now its time for Pakistanis as well to inspire from these legendary revolution and fight against the usurpers like Zardari,gilani,sharif brothers,raja riaz etc and snatch their rights from them

@burraak1 as salamualaikum brother. yes, I am a sunni and I was born and raised in the US. i am asking you to calm your rheteroic and relax, there is no need to fight. your views are exactly what the people who want to divide Muslims want, they love to see Muslims fight with each other. Please look at the simple lifestyle of Ayatollah Khomenei vs. the lavish lifestyle of the Saudi royal family. Which one behaves more like the Prophet (SAW) did?

[burraak1]

@hgm321 Listen Mr US Sunni if u really are a sunni (which I doubt u not) then don't u know what Irans filthy secret alience with USA did in Iraq What filthy Shia of Iraq doing with innocent Sunni, Irans filthy ambition to acquire muslim world including Saudi Arabia,Iran because of its shia leadership has become a tumor in Muslim world
