of Islamic Awakening in Imam Khomeini's Viewpoint

Authors

  • Fallahzadeh, Muhammad Hadi
Abstract:

With his speeches and messages in hajj days, Imam Khomeini tried to introduce Islamic Awakening as the spirit of war against colonization and global arrogance and attract Muslims' attention to political and social functions of hajj to offer Muslims dignity and inspire them to start an Islamic movement. In his opinion, hajj is an atmosphere to gain knowledge about Islam and to enlighten people about Islam and issues of the Islamic world. "Disassociation with pagans" is to give identity and unity to Islamic world against pagans and colonial powers as the common enemies of Muslims. Through reinforcing civilization identity and removing ethnic discrimination and racism, hajj also increases Muslims' unity throughout the Islamic world. Imam Khomeini offers a completely political and revolutionary interpretation of ethical and spiritual rites of hajj. In addition Hajj is a very suitable opportunity to expand Islamic awakening. The faith and ethics created during hajj reflect a spirituality that can create an eternal epic.
