Governance of the Divinely-Sanctioned Social Order under Conditions of Religious Solidarity

Islamic Governance: Governance of the Divinely-Sanctioned Social Order

under Conditions of Religious Solidarity

The four volumes of Ayatollah Khamenei's Islamic Governance provide the theoretical framework for authentic Islamic governance in the modern era that is deeply rooted in Islamic principles and in what makes us human. Authored by one of the foremost theoreticians and practitioners of the revolutionary Islamic movement that culminated in the triumph of the Islamic Revolution in Iran the book provides a genuine alternative both to the morally bankrupt liberal social order of the West as well as to the defunct and sterile alternatives provided within the rest of the Islamic world.

Volume Three: The Just Ruler

The Just Ruler begins by delineating the requisite attributes of the Islamic ruler as well as his rights and duties relative to his subjects. Ayatollah Khmene+ then proceeds to provide an in-depth commentary on Imam Ali's seminal Epistle to Mlek Ashtar. The volume includes a translation of the Epistle as well as the Epistle in the original Arabic. This volume provides the principles upon which the practical foundations of governance should be based as advised by Imam Ali (as) himself; principles of governance which when actualized will enable humanity to reach its full potential irrespective of considerations of faith.
