Abstract :
Imam Khomeini (ra) is one of the unparalleled and outstanding figures of human history, divinely high ideas of whom can open the ways for human community in all fields. Imam Khomeini (ra) maintained that divine religion is based on nature that has good, God-seeking, peace-seeking and justice-seeking character; it has nothing to do with violence and he said any attempt to create violence and religion bond whether interpersonal, social and in international order is doomed to failure. The message of Islam and ideals of Imam Khomeini (ra) is to avoid violence, to emphasize on peace and co-existence as strong pillars of peace in human community and to have dialogue, logic and reasoning as suitable and firm method for understanding differences and approximating thoughts. To Imam Khomeini (ra), there are challenges and barriers for dialogue and peace that human community must remove. For Imam Khomeini (ra), the barriers for sustainable peace in the world are disregarding independence of countries and intervening in their affairs, disobeying the principle of mutual respect, absence of unity among nations, fake peace, humiliating peace, unequal distribution of power, competitive system of superpowers, dependence of international organizations, disremembering justice and spirituality in aims of peace and controlling weapons by wrong crowd. Imam Khomeini (ra) believes that real and sustainable peace can only be achieved by the last Proof, Imam Mahdi (may Allah hasten his emergence) thanks to the world barriers; at that time, oppressors and the arrogant powers will become defeated and there will be real and honorable peace established based on divine teachings all over the world.
