Ebook: Islamic Government - Governance of the Jurist

Islamic Government – The governance of the Juist originated in a series of lectures given by Imam Khomeini (ra) in Najaf, Iraq during his exile between January 21 and February 8, 1970. Three major points emerge from the lectures. The first is the necessity for the establishment and maintenance of Islamic political power for Islamic goals, precepts, and criteria. The second is the duty of the religious scholars (the fuqahā) to bring about an Islamic state. Third, a program of action for the establishment of an Islamic state, including various measures for self-reform by the religious establishment.
