On the occasion of the 36th demise anniversary of the great founder of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, a scientific conference on the thoughts of the Late Imam Khomeini (RA) was held at the representative office of Al-Mustafa International University in Bangkok, Thailand with the participation of professors, students, members of the Iranian embassy, the cultural attaché and various segments of the people.
At the beginning of this meeting and after reciting a few verses from the Holy Quran and playing the national anthems of the Kingdom of Thailand and the Islamic Republic of Iran, Hujjat al-Islam Seyyed Hibatullah Sadr Al-Sadat, the representative of Al-Mustafa University in Thailand, presented his article entitled Characteristics of Imam Khomeini’s (RA) leadership and the secret of his success.
He stated,” Strong faith and trust in God, acting on duty, sincerity and truth in speech and behavior, people-orientation, anti-arrogance and oppression, attention to the oppressed, and belief in oneself and the nation’s ability are among the most important characteristics of Imam Khomeini’s success in the victory of the Islamic Revolution. He added that the impact of the late Imam Khomeini’s thoughts and the wave of the Islamic Revolution in Iran is such that the contemporary era can be divided into two stages: before and after Imam Khomeini (RA).
In another part of this meeting, Dr. Nasser al-Din Heydari, the Iranian Ambassador to Thailand, presented his article titled Imam Khomeini’s (RA) political thought and its impact on the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and pointed out the principles of independence, the negation of domination, and support for the oppressed, liberation movements, the proximity of Islamic religions, and unity among Muslims.
He further noted,” The late Imam Khomeini (RA) was not only considered a political leader but also a great thinker who, by presenting a new model of Islamic governance, showed a way to liberate Muslim nations from domination and arrogance. He concluded by saying that the Imam’s thought is a living and dynamic capital that is not specific to a particular decade nor generation and has always inspired freedom-seeking and independence-seeking movements in the Islamic world and beyond.”
