Abstract

Target: To show: 1. Reaction of contemporary scholars to modern political concepts with a focus on Imam Khomeini (RA); 2. Inventing the method of religious localization of modern political concepts by Imam Khomeini (RA) 3. The method of religious localization of modern political concepts in the preservation of traditional political concepts by Imam Khomeini (RA) is one of the most important goals of this article.
Method: In order to achieve the above goals, the chosen method is the conceptual model of democracy, in which the concept of democracy in the political thought of Imam Khomeini (RA) is extracted and then some of the most important modern political words from Bab Meshti of Kharwar are examined in that format. Placed.
Findings: Contemporary religious scholars, especially Imam Khomeini (may Allah be pleased with him), were faced with the tools of ijtihad and in the form of religion, and the method of Imam Khomeini (may Allah be pleased with him) in this framework, is based on considering the modern and traditional concepts to be the same in form (similarity in form) and contrast. Knowing the two is in your nature.
Conclusion: Imam Khomeini's unique method leads to: 1. The establishment and continuation of the Islamic movement and later, the Islamic Republic based on the strategy of relegating the Islamic way of life to the West, 2. Passing from the Islamic way of life and the Western face to the Islamic way of life has been achieved during the leadership of Ayatollah Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution of Iran.
