The thoughts of Imam Khomeini | The Islamic government is the best form of government for societies

Pars Today - Imam Khomeini (God bless his soul), the great founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, believed the best form of government for societies was one based on divine law.

This article from Pars Today looks at the positions of Imam Khomeini regarding the type of government in society.
From the perspective of Imam Khomeini (God bless his soul), what is the best form of government for societies?

The necessity of establishing a government of righthood

Imam Khomeini (God bless his soul) believed that the existence of a government is necessary and essential for every society. He believed that the best form of government is one that is both based on divine law and executes it.

The general term he used for this rightful and ideal government is "Islamic government"

According to Imam Khomeini, the establishment of a government of righthood is only possible through an uprising against illegitimate governance. This uprising is the common chapter between politics and mysticism in his thought, encompassing both the dimension of inner life and outer life (self-purification and societal purification).

This means that reforming society from its corruptions and social deviations is only possible through a "Uprising for God's sake". Furthermore, reforming society is impossible without reforming the individual from their vices and moral deviations. The establishment of a just Islamic government will be the result of this uprising in both dimensions.

Imam Khomeini (God bless his soul), especially in the realm of political theory and thought, believed in a global Islamic government and yearned for its realization. For this reason, he explicitly opposed the foundations of nation-state governance, such as racism and ethnic chauvinism, and considered the promotion of such political ideologies within the Muslim world to be a conspiracy of its enemies.

However, on a practical level and in his political conduct, considering existing realities and the prevailing world order, he established the Islamic government within the domain of the Iranian state and structured its governing institutions within that framework.
