Ma`rifat Siyasi

Imam Khomeini is one of the Islamic thinkers influenced by the thoughts of Sadr al-Din Shirazi, who believe that one of the steps in the development of Islamic mysticism is to enter the field of politics, and in practice, they brought this view to the fore. Considering the simultaneous emphasis on the issue of the selfishness and mission of divine prophets in the mystical and political works of Imam Khomeini, the question is raised, what is his political interpretation of the selfishness and mission of the prophets in the Qur'an? A direct reference to the works of Imam Khomeini and exploring his views based on the descriptive-analytical method shows that the necessity of leaving the darkness and moving towards the light is one of the connecting links of Imam Khomeini's mystical and political thoughts. Putting aside the selfishness in the presence of the prophets makes the main goals of the mission possible, including fighting the root cause of corruption, awakening the people, and moving out of the darkness towards the light. In the Quranic thought of Imam Khomeini, the real victory of the prophets is to overcome all the veils of darkness caused by selfishness and achieve absolute victory, and this is the goal of the ascension of perfection and leaving no remnant of selfishness in human beings, so that the ground for the creation of a just social system is also provided.
