This work gained prominence in the context of the Iranian Revolution of 1979, which led to the establishment of a new political system in Iran. The book explains the theory of governance based on Islamic principles, particularly within the framework of Shiite jurisprudence. It discusses the responsibilities of leadership, the role of scholars, and the structure of a state guided by religious law.
Hakumat e Islami is divided into two parts and elaborates on the concept often referred to as Wilayat al-Faqih (Guardianship of the Jurist), which forms a central component of the political philosophy presented in the book. The author argues for the necessity of an Islamic system that integrates religious authority with governance to ensure justice and moral accountability.
As a historical and ideological document, this book remains important for students of Islamic political thought and modern Middle Eastern history. It provides insight into the intellectual foundations that influenced the transformation of Iran’s political structure in the late twentieth century.
