His recommendations and political messages to the officials and the people speak for this, and these recommendations can be treated, apart from the occasion of their issuance, as profound moral lessons from which we can learn.


Imam believed that the purpose and result of the mission of the divine revealed religions is the perfection of morality.


According to Imam, in the noble traditions of divine Prophets, moral excellences have been given more importance than anything else after doctrinal teachings. 


Imam Khomeini considered good moral practices and attitudes as the source of salvation and prosperity for both individuals and societies.


From the very beginning when he was a religious teacher up to the time when he was in the midst of the political arena, led the people’s uprising, and established the Islamic Republic,


The great Imam frequently emphasized that morality is of a great significance as it is the asset of the everlasting life of the hereafter.


The capital asset of the life here is also the acquisition of noble dispositions and the possession of moral excellences.
