Description:

This Persian edition of Varzesh va Varzeshkaran dar Andisheh-ye Emam Khomeyni (Sports and Athletes in the Thoughts of Imam Khomeini) was published in Iran in the year 1378 by the Institute for Compilation and Publication of Imam Khomeini’s Works. Written in Persian, the book examines the ideas, speeches, and writings of Ruhollah Khomeini concerning sports, physical education, morality, and the role of athletes within an Islamic society.

The work aims to place modern sports and physical culture within the ideological framework of the Islamic Republic following the Iranian Revolution. Drawing directly from Imam Khomeini’s statements, the volume discusses how sports should contribute not only to physical strength, but also to moral discipline, national unity, spiritual development, and revolutionary consciousness.

Themes such as Islamic ethics, social responsibility, discipline, youth education, national identity, and moral development appear throughout the book. The volume reflects the ideological efforts of post-revolutionary Iran to redefine modern institutions, including sports and public culture, according to Islamic political and religious principles.

As an official publication connected to the intellectual legacy of Imam Khomeini, the book represents an important historical and ideological document of the Islamic Republic period and is especially significant for researchers interested in Iranian political thought, religion, sports culture, and revolutionary ideology.
