Abstract In this study, a sociological analysis of Imam Khomeini's (RA) political thought has been conducted, focusing on key concepts such as the guardianship of the jurist, political independence, and the relationship between religion and the state. These thoughts have been formed within the framework of Islamic discourse and with an emphasis on popular participation, social justice, and the fight against global arrogance. Existing research shows that his political thought is based on principles such as the rule of divine law, the government's responsibility to the people, and the need to preserve Islamic identity against Western cultural influence. The research method in this analysis was mainly based on discourse analysis using original texts including speeches, wills, and written works of Imam Khomeini (RA).

The aim of the current research is to investigate the main causes and factors of the importance and necessity of this matter in the system of the Islamic Republic. The main question is why the Islamic Republic system insists so much on observing a social obligation, despite numerous internal and external problems? This research investigates this issue with descriptive-analytical method and using library sources.The findings of the research show that the great importance of hijab among the imams of the revolution as the outliners of the general policies of the system, which is also based on considering the advantages and disadvantages of this matter in their eyes, is the most important reason for this. Sociologists and intellectuals of the society have also put forward reasons such as the cultural image and identity of clothing, disruption of the system and the priority of social rights over the individual regarding the necessity of clothing, which supports the view of the Imam and the leadership on the issue of women's clothing...
