Abstract
There took place the Islamic revolution in Iran in 1979, which main inspirer and spiritual leader was the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini (1900/1902–1989). Imam Khomeini proposed the concept of the Islamic state that was realized in the political structure of modern Iran. The article analyzes two aspects associated with this concept: the ground of Islamic rule and the doctrine of "Wilayat al-Faqih" (rule by the [righteous] faqih), and there is also determined their relationship with the previous tradition.
