Abstract The main goal of this research is to identify the conceptual network of political education in the thought of Imam Khomeini . This research was carried out with a qualitative approach and with textual research methods and ideological considerations and data analysis using thematic analysis method. Based on the findings of the research, in the Islamic framework and in the thought of Imam Khomeini (RA), from the intertwining of "politics, education, ethics and beliefs", political education should be considered in connection with moral education and ideological education. It is possible to talk about an educational triangle, in which ideological education and moral education and socio-political education are the other two sides. Beliefs are considered the basis of Islamic education in all fields of education, including political education, and the principles of belief centered on "monotheism" govern it. Moral education is also under the connection and relationship of individual and society, the introduction and direction of political education. In this research, concepts such as guidance, education, contagion, cultivation, power, politics, rebellion and struggle, and guardianship can be considered as key concepts in understanding the political thought of Imam Khomeini
