This thesis attempts to explain the concept of Jihad-i-Akbar (struggle against the self or soul) through an analysis of the mystical thought and activities of the great religious scholar Âyatullàh Rühullâh Khomeini (1902-1990). He was a comprehensive religious scholar who was in addition a political leader and a well-known mystic. This study also analyzes, through a study of Âyatullàh Khomeini's Chihil Hadith (forty traditions), the relationship between 'irfan (mysticism) and social activities and shows how he was able to combine several dimensions of Islam in his public and private life. / Cette thèse vise à une explication du concept de Jihad-i-Akbar (lutte contre le soi ou son âme) en analysant la pensée mystique ainsi que la vie du grand érudit religieux Âyatullàh Rühullàh Khomeini (1902-1990). En plus d'avoir une connaissance profonde des sciences religieuses islamiques, il était aussi un figure politique et un mystique bien connu. L'étude tente aussi à analyser, à travers l'étude de l'oeuvre d'Âyatullâh Khomeini Chihil Hadith (quarante traditions), la relation entre 'irfan (mysticisme) et les activités dans la société, et démontre comment il a su combiner les différentes dimensions de l'Islam dans sa vie publique et privée.
