Awareness of world's circumstance




Imam Sadiq, Peace be Upon Him , says in a short Hadith that : "العالم بزمانه التهجم عليه اللوابس" it means the person who is aware of the time's circumstances and condition is never taken by surprise concerning the unexpected incidents .
In this Hadith, one of the conditions of leadership has been stated; the leader should be aware of the vitriolic and deplorable incidents which are in the ambush of his nation with the piercing view. Also, he should find a solution about it.
One of the dimensions of Imam Khomeini's character was his awareness from the world's circumstance and the situation of the time. Furthermore, he was well aware of the political and atheistic movements which were forming against the Islam. He considered all of them and if he didn't have such characteristic in the days of youth, he couldn't be the leader of the Islamic Revolution with such stability and rigidity more than 10 years and surprise the enemies in the period of oldness and senility which he took the reins of power.
Due to having such characteristic, he knew the country's state men, the treacherous state men and also the righteous ones. Also, he followed the political matters from the different way as much as possible.
In the suffocating period of Rezakhan government that started from solar 1304 year and ended in Shahrivar of 1320, the whole devices were in charge of the state and no book was printed even concerning the matters which were far from the politics. But, after Shahrivar, 1320 and by the arrival of allies in Iran and also the blazing of worldwide war's fire, the barriers were removed from the pen and wording. So, Imam Khomeini used this opportunity and as the denial of the epistle of "The thousand year secrets", he began to state the facts and also moved the covers aside.
The eloquent pen, delicate and sensational statement of the book under the name of "secrets discovery" could blow a fresh spirit to the Muslim's hearts in Iran. He explained the nature of Rezakhan government under the title of this question," why Rezakhan behaved badly toward the scholars? " and presented the valuable position of clergy for the people in this book.
This book which was printed in 1323, created the great excitement and vast wave in Iran. Not only the book of the "secrets discovery "is a thought book but also it is a complete political one.
Although, Imam Khomeini printed this book without mentioning the author's name and didn't like its author to be known, according to this commandment, "ما کان لله نيمو" , "any act which is sincere for God grows more ", the publication of the book without the name of his author increased the reputation of the writer. However, everyone who reads this book admits this matter that Imam Khomeini had high political thought and wanted to replace the spoiled system by Islamic system from the old time.
The allies left Iran from 1324 to 1325 and the colonization again recommended that Rezakhan's son to continue the dominion and follow the plan of his father with an especial trick. Gradually, it returned the autarchy to Iran another time and as it went on, the power of the system increased.
However, we see Imam as a quite calm person in this interval, i.e. from the years of 1325 to 1340. He began to teach the jurisprudence, religious principles, ethics and philosophy in these years and also he discussed about the political matters less. What happened to the sensational and motive pen that the book of "secret discovery" was the obvious example of it? Why did he come to a stop from the years of 25 to 40 and move in the scientific channel?
Here, there is a point that is noticed less:
Ayatollah Boroujerdi came to Tehran from Boroujerd in order to be cured in 1324 and resided in this town by the request of the Qom's leaders and scholars. Then, he grabbed the reins of leadership after the death of Ayatollah Isfahani.
In fact, Ayatollah Boroujedi was a great person and a unique jurist. When Imam Khomeini, who was one of the inviters of the late Boroujerdi to Qom, understood that this great man is the acceptor of the responsibility, felt the calmness and don't consider it as his duty to follow the political matters directly. So, he remained silent with an especial self-restraint and spoke less that is one of the spiritual courage of complete human beings that sometimes to remain silent in spite of the fact that they have high thoughts and effective guidance. So, Imam respected the supreme authority and reminded some subjects and matters when necessary and only in the private visitations.
There are 12000 orations, epistles and words from Imam Ali, Peace be upon Him that all of them are related to the period after the Prophet's death, despite having such knowledge and awareness in the prophethood time, he completely remained silent and quiet in front of the Prophet. Similarly, we felt this characteristic in Imam Khomeini in the authority time of the late Boroujerdi , but as we mentioned, he didn't forget the import matter of "النصيحه لائمه المسلمين" and accomplished the necessary reminding and clues in the critical situations .
Death of Ayatollah Boroujerdi or Turning Point in history of Imam Khomeini life:
Ayatollah Boroujerdi passed away in Farvardin of 1341. Shah who expected the death of him for sometime in order to accomplish his treacherous plans one after another, took advantage of this opportunity to weaken the spiritual guidance in Iran
So, he sent a condolatory telegram for supreme Ayatollah Hakim in order to refer the people to the outside of Iran. Sometimes in his speech, Shah said the obstacles are removed now and the corrected plans should be performed and the important character who is the barrier of the accomplishment of our plans is not seen any more.
After a short time, the ratification of the regulations of regional and provincial associations came up in which our holy book was insulted especially and some accredited rules of it were transgressed. The proposal of the regulation of "regional and provincial associations" was a pilot scheme so that the governing body becomes aware of its reaction in the cleric circles and their interest toward the maintenance of Islam's principles. The chief topics of this scheme were printed in the evening newspaper of the capital, i.e. Keyhan and Etela'at newspaper of that day on Mehr15, 1341.
The writer, who was considered as one of the gleaner of the scientific harvest of Imam Khomeini, was the observer of his critics from the government and its malice toward the Islam in the private meetings. So, he took advantage of this opportunity and gave Keyhan newspaper to Imam. He had performed the evening prayer and wanted to start the night prayer. When he informed him concerning the content of the regulations of "regional and provincial associations ", he felt an extreme sadness in the face of Imam. Imam performed the congregational prayer and then summoned his son-in-law, the late Ishraqi, and requested him to go to Ayatollah Hayeri's home and requested him to invite the time authorities to his home so that they think and decide about this resolution together.
The glorious gathering of the authorities at that night in the house of Ayatollah Hayeri was the sign of the unity and solidarity and everyone's telegrams was the representation of stability and resistance of the clergy against the conspiracies of Shah, meanwhile, Imam's telegram had especial solidity and firmness.
In this movement which lasted two months, the telegrams of Imam and his letters to the surroundings familiarized the nation with the aware character of him and the people knew his leader little by little.
The process of "regional and provincial associations "ended and the time government retook the resolution with special trickery , but after some months , it followed its way via the other ruse under the title of six-fold bills that the right and nullity were mixed in this bills.
So, under the existing circumstances, the firmness, solidity and resistance of Imam became obvious more than before and he stroked a hard blow to the reputation of governing body via the sanctions of referendum, resistance against the pressure of the system and also the announcement of national.
