Abstract. There are challenges resulting from the incorrect perceptions, Muslims, rulers or elites’ wrong deeds that are rooted in the Islam world. The most important internal challenges of the Islam world, as put by Imam Khomeini, are the governments’ being under the influence of superpowers, inadequacy of the Islamic countries’ heads, lack of adherence to the Islamic instructions and sufficiency to words and slogans, the enforcement of tyrannical rules in lieu of the Islam’s and the Islamic nations’ misunderstandings. He believes that the Islam rules and verdicts are not at all old-fashioned and outdated rather they are left unenforced or, in other words, one challenge in the face of the Islam
world is the lack of the Islamic verdicts’ enforcement. He is also of the belief that the Islamic countries have been inflicted with such a deploring situation due to the management practices’ weakness and dependency. In the meantime, he believes that not all the Islam world’s challenges are endogenous rather there are external factors involved such as poverty and misery stemming from the imperialism, promotion of colonial culture, described as the mother of all diseases by him, making efforts for fading the holy Quran in essence and the Islamic teachings as a plot by the colonial powers and domination of the foreigners over the Islamic territories and the self-alienation of the countries’ heads. But, one of the most important challenges that has been imposed on Islam world from outside and it has been increasingly corroborated by some superpowers is the schism development in the Islamic communities that can be only cured, as put by his highness, through unification. Approaching the Islam world’s diseases through the lens of a physician has sometimes been accompanied by prescriptions, including the followings: preservation of the Islamic originalities, Islamic privileges and withdrawing
from matching them to the other schools that can be actualized through doing research and investigating the truths of Islam and the proper upbringing and education of the society only after establishing the human Islamic culture instead of the colonial culture. Paying attention to the Holy Quran’s teachings is a solution because, in his ideas, Islamic states’ distancing away from the Holy Quran has caused such a dark miserable situation to the Islamic nations; the other
solution is reaching mutual understandings by the states and the nations and preventing the foreigners from interfering in the countries’ destiny.
Keywords: contemporary challenges, Islam World, Imam Khomeini, Muslims’ problems.
