Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Kabul: The statement states that 37 years ago, a figure from among the Islamic Ummah passed away whose thoughts and ideas brought about great changes in the world and posed serious challenges to the intellectual foundations governing the international political system.
The Afghan Shia Ulema Council has emphasized that Imam Khomeini (RA) began his movement with the aim of spreading spirituality, justice, and fighting oppression and atheism, and was able to present a new model of governance based on religious values and the will of the people.
