“…He believed that the policy of "Neither the East nor the West" means providing a third way for the Islamic revolution and having intellectual autonomy guarantees Iran's independence. Imam Khomeini did not know the purpose of "Neither the East nor the West" policy as not communicating with others, and proclaimed: "We do not want to live in a country that is isolated from the world; it is unreasonable; today the world is like a family and a city" (Khomeini, 2002). In this approach, ideology has priority over geo-strategy, and principles such as seeking justice are the criteria for politicians' behavior in the Islamic revolution.…”

“…Negation to Tyranny: Imam Khomeini considered resistance to oppression as one of the solutions derived from religious teachings. By resorting to the "Principle of Monotheism," he believed that "man should be surrendered only to the essence of the Almighty, and should not obey any human being" (Khomeini, 2002). Accordingly, the elimination of any tyranny was raised as one of the ideals of the Islamic Revolution.…”

“…Denial of Aliens' Domination: The formation of a government based on the real independence on aliens had a great contribution in his statements. Imam Khomeini, with an emphasis on Political Independence, which meant the free will of decision making of the nation to determine its own destiny and the lack of interference of aliens in the fate of people, believed that rationally it cannot value the life under the control of others, because "the value of life is to have freedom and independence " (Khomeini, 2015).…”

The study of the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran regarding the specific features of the Islamic Revolution and its reflection that has profound effects on the strategy of the region and the world is of specific importance. Undoubtedly, current Iran's foreign policy is based on the political ideas of the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which, in order to understand and realize it better, his thinking model in the context of foreign policy with other countries should be investigated more. Imam Khomeini, stating this important theory that "the source of conflicts and disagreements is selfishness, and yet peace will be an unreachable wish of humanity", had firm belief in the fundamental ethics, accountability and realist idealism in the foreign policy. By understanding all of the above components, one can inquire into the depth of Imam Khomeini's thought in drawing up a road map for peaceful coexistence despite the belief in the establishment of a divine sovereignty, mutual respect for the sovereignty of the countries, despite the belief in exporting the Islamic Revolution, and the teleology of the Islamic Revolution along with non-interference in the internal affairs of countries.

“…In a frequently referenced speech, Khomeini called the provisions of the FPL invalid and stated that a woman who divorced under this law would become an adulteress subject to criminal sanctions. 12 In the immediate aftermath of the revolution, the transitional government suspended the civil laws and dissolved the family law courts. The latter were replaced by new shariat courts, which possessed a much broader jurisdictional mandate, but addressed disputes solely through Islamic jurisprudence.…”

This article explores changes to Iran’s family law codes before and after the 1979revolution. Since the revolution, the state’s attention to women’s legal status has served toreinforce specific and often competing views on women’s roles in the post-revolutionaryIslamic Republic of Iran. By exploring how those views changed during different periods overthe past thirty-five years, this article highlights contemporary debates about women’s rolesand offers a deeper understanding of the sometimes conflicting aims of legal reforms. Aninvestigation into changing family laws and the state’s emphasis on women’s roles alsopermits deeper understanding of the persistent debates about Islam, the republic, and how,for the conservative religious leadership, women serve the wider project of delivering autopian Islamic society.

Taking People As They Are: Islam As a “Realistic Utopia” in the Political Theory of Sayyid Qutb

T his article presents an interpretation of Sayyid Qutb's political theory based on a prominent feature of his thought: the claim that Islamic law and human nature (fitra) are in perfect harmony, and that the demands of Islamic law are easy and painless for ordinary human moral capacities. I argue that Qutb is not only defending Islamic law as true and obligatory, but also as a coherent "realistic utopia"-a normative theory that also contains a psychological account of that theory's feasibility. Qutb's well-known fascination with the earliest generation of Muslims (the salaf) is an integral part of this account that serves two functions: (1) as a model of the feasibility and realism of an ideal Islamic political order, and (2) as a genealogy of the political origins of moral vice in society. Qutb's project is thus an account of exactly why and how Islam requires politics, and how modern humans can be both free and governed.My purpose is to consider if, in political society, there can be any legitimate and sure principle of government, taking men as they are and laws as they might be.-Jean-Jacques Rousseau, The Social Contract Justice demands that the social system shall conform to the desires of the individual and satisfy his inclinations. -Sayyid Qutb, Social Justice in IslamA respect for humanity requires us to look at it more profoundly and with a stronger perception of its profound nature, its authentic innate character and its deep roots, so that we are more judicious, more restrained and more precise in our thinking when we try to direct it and establish systems for it. We must not let millions of years of human experience go unheeded and postulate mere theories regarding man's inclinations, nature and behavior and then apply these theories by force and coercion.
