The Islamic Revolution happened at a very sensitive juncture of history as Imperialism, Communism and several other ideologies had influenced the societies and divided the world into several power blocs. Imam managed the Islamic Revolution in such a tough conditions and circumstances.


The great scholar of the Islamic world also concluded that hidden divine help could be felt throughout all process of the Islamic movement.

This reliance on divine power was manifested through all stages of his struggle to rescue the Iranian people and all oppressed nations.
