Imam Khomeini in the final decades of the twentieth century confronted the world with the great phenomenon of Islamic Revolution of Iran. Prior to this phenomenon, the world was enclosed in two areas of liberalism and socialism. The partnership of both capitalism and communism systems was nothing but the negation of religion, spirituality, ethics, gnosis, and the dynamic role of these learning in human life. After the Islamic Revolution, many of the social and political scientists from all over the world admitted the unique role of Imam Khomeini in the Islamic Revolution, the restoration and modification of religion, ethics, and spirituality in the world. So Imam was known as the greatest political reformer in the contemporary world and eventually as a religious leader and authority who had a profound impact on people’s liberation movements. However, in the aforementioned analysis the impact of mystical aspect of Imam’s great personality in the formation and maintenance of Islamic Revolution has been neglected. The present research paper includes the study and explanation of this subject and to clarify that the distribution of Imam’s spiritual attitude toward God, human beings, politics, and government formation, was the cause of creation and survival of Islamic Revolution.
