An Analysis of the Relation between Political Viability and Dutifulness in Imam Khomeini's Discourse

Political viability and the efforts to implement objectives of the political system are emphasized by Imam Khomeini (PBUH). About the political viability, he always emphasized the necessity to perform divine duties assigned to officials and different parts of the society. Dutifulness exerts a direct impact on political viability and components of its evaluation (goals, facilities and barriers). Although this theory applies positive points of other theories, the viability of Islamic system cant be assessed based on other competitive models such as citizen's satisfaction, success and system theory. The level of political viability directly depends on the level of faith in and loyalty toward divine duties. The increase in political viability will prove the correctness of Islamic ideology to meet the needs of the society and strengthening beliefs and society's more effort to perform divine duties.
