Imam Khomeini frequently said that divine religion of Islam and holy book of Quran are real source of human dignity as they describe mankind as a precious creature with free Will. The free Will and determination have been granted to humans by God, the Almighty.

According to holy Quran, belonging to certain ethnicity, nation or tribe is not a source of pride or any priority. But the attainment of real dignity is closely associated with promoting human values and observing piety and piousness.

“O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you.” (al-Hujurat, verse 13).

Imam believes that the divine mission of divine prophets have been to relieve humanity from clutches of slavery and prevent them from falling into pits of social and moral decline. The prophets were assigned to enhance moral code and realize humans about their real position and spiritual statues.

According to Imam’s dynamic thought and ideals, If someone has not been able to relive itself from lust and material lower desires, then how such a person would grant rights or take into consideration freedoms and liberties for others.

Researchers and experts say the term ‘right’ and its relevant extractions have been used for thousands of times in several of Imam’s academic works, speeches and messages.
