This help us see whether or not there is conforming between the activity of each of them and find whether or not Ayatollah Brujerdi's reaction, if he remained alive, would be similar to Imam Khomeini's reaction against shah regime's insistence on in performing the American reforms, Using an analytical approach based on a documental study, this paper investigates Ayatollah Brujerdi's thought and political activities against the policy of the previous regime and compares them with those of Imam Khomeini. The findings of the study show that Ayatollah Brujerdi's political activities are similar to those of Imam Khomaeini and as a prelude to the movement which ended in Imam Khomeini's revolution
