Inherently, man is interested in hearing praiseful statements and social life, on the other hand, will not pave the ground for development and transcendence without praise and encouragement of the elites. Praises either refer to the human and fair notion and orientation or are contaminated with hypocrisy, expediency and profiteering. Flattery and adulation are one of the explicit extensions of praises that have become blurred by profiteering and conspiracy and are subject to the verdict «praising the one who does not derserve the praise or deserves to be reproached». Many jurists in their ethical and jurisprudential works have dealt with this issue. Imam Khomeini is one of the contemporary jurists who have explained the praise and reproachment in his ideas. Scientific background and pure ideas of Imam Khomein due to his extensive knowledge of Islamic sciences like jurisprudence, principles of jurisprudence, Quranic exegesis, theology and etc, not only express the depth of his ideas, but also explicate the concept and scope of damage that can be incurred by the phenomenon of flattery and hypocrisy in the spheres of individual and collective life.
