Abstract
This paper has brought into consideration the fundamental scientific alteration done by the late Imam Khomeini. The act referred to as scientific revolution, took place against secular paradigm of Pahlavi Regime and challenged it strongly. When analyzing this fundamental scientific changing, we surely can regard socio-political nature of Islam as its essential cause. And as we know, it was a fact just opposing to the dominant view of the day that thought religious teachings and instructions to be only for personal behavior or even to be out of date. In such a situation, Imam Khomeini as a dominant religious leader, succeeded to argue for socio-political essence of religion to the extent that there remained no room for doubt in it and therefore the alternative view was withdrawn.
