Read More Public mobilization refers to the gathering of a group of people around a specific axis and goal, which can be observed in any country and with any religion and profession. Basij is no exception to this rule in the history of Iran, in the sense that it has existed in all historical periods; But during the Great Islamic Revolution, it expanded in a form and essence. It is obvious that due to the involvement of the popular mobilization movement in the thinking of the revolutionary leaders, in the Great Islamic Revolution, the form of mass movement of the people enjoyed the necessary maturity, and in general, every revolution requires the use of popular mobilization; An ideal that many have failed to reach from empathy and companionship to fulfillment. The history of this civilized land mentions Sheikh Fazlullah Nouri, Mirza Kuchak Khan Jangali, and Ra'is Ali Delvari only as the few who rose up in the way of mass mobilization of the masses - in the contemporary era - against the tyranny of the ruling class. . A group that, despite their many resistances, did not achieve the main goal, and of course were the great founders of a bright future. According to the above approach, in this article we sought to explain the extension of the concept of mobilization throughout human history. According to this goal, we divided history into five different periods, from Basij and the Medes, Basij and Achaemenids, before Islam, to Basij and Safavids, Basij and the Constitution, and finally Basij and the Great Islamic Revolution. The findings of the article, which were based on an analytical approach, suggest that the emergence of mobilization dates back to the earliest period of human collective life, and that mobilization is a conceptual concept developed over several decades. The Great Revolution is not Islamic, although in this period, and especially in the era of the Holy Defense, the concept of mobilization was interpreted and understood in the best possible way.
