description: "Molla Ahmad Naraqi also known as known as “Fauzel Narauqee”, was a Shi'i cleric (\"mullah\"), who has been called \"the first Shi‘i jurisprudent to argue for wilayat al-faqıh al-siyasıyah, or \"the divine mandate of the jurisprudent to rule\" during the occultation of the Imam. The concept of wilayat al-faqıh or Velayat-e Faqıh came to the attention of the world when Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini led the Islamic Iranian Revolution in 1978–79 and established the Islamic Republic of Iran using wilayat al-faqıh as its governing principal. Naraqi's work called for the system in his technical fiqh work entitled Awa’id al-ayyam \npredating the call by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini for this system in his lectures and book Islamic Government by more than a century."
