This theory was first proposed in the political literature of Iran during the Constitutional Revolution, and after the Islamic Revolution, it was established as a response to the question of the legitimacy of this system (background). However, this theory has always been disputed; while some, insisting on the components of liberal democracy, consider it to be lacking in democratic standards, others consider it to be the best model of democracy due to factors such as participation, people's satisfaction, and division of powers (problem). Martyr Muṭahharī is one of the modernist thinkers who has theorized about religious democracy. Given that he is considered the most important theoretician of the Revolution, it is appropriate to examine the theory of this thinker. The present article aims to critically analyse this theory with the critical analytical method based on Skinner's authorial intentionalism hermeneutics (method), and it specifically seeks to identify the principles on which this theory is based and analyse it critically (question). This theory considers democracy as a method and by emphasizing the possibility of religious democracy, it assigns a supervisory role to the Guardian Jurist (hypothesis). The findings indicate that according to the theory of Martyr Muṭahharī, the issues of freedom and the role of the people in the government are of great importance. However, the position and function of the Guardian Jurist as one of the pillars of religious democracy remains ambiguous (findings).

This issue has taken a more prominent form in Iranian society after the Islamic revolution of 1357.with the study of the community of humanities students of the Islamic Azad University of Shiraz University, aims to investigate the influence of religious beliefs and values on the formation and realization of the model of religious democracy. Based on Cochran's formula, 332 people were selected as the sample size by simple random sampling method and were analyzed by t-test method. The findings show that the realization of the model of religious democracy is influenced by the attitude of the people of the Iranian society towards the components of this model. the realization of the model of religious democracy means the acceptance of a distinct form of society administration, which can also be considered as a factor for the expansion of the Islamic Revolution. From this point of view, issuing the model of religious democracy means issuing the values of the Islamic Revolution in the new stage of the Islamic Revolution. Another argument is that the link between religion and political values by the Islamic revolution is a special and distinct model, which is clearly a negation of the propagation of the model of secularism on the one hand and an ineffective negation of the role of religion in the administration of Islamic societies on the other hand.

It seems that despite the passage of four decades since the Islamic Revolution, the policies implemented in the educational system of this land, especially in the field of institutionalizing the high values of the Sacred Defense in the educational system, have not been able to properly fulfill their mission in the field of education and achieve great success. In this research, which has been done analytically and descriptively, an attempt has been made to answer this important question: what are the most important obstacles to the institutionalization of the values of Sacred Defense in the second forty-year of the revolution? In response to the mentioned question, the research hypothesis was based on the principle that the cultural officials' negligence in institutionalizing the values of Sacred Defense and the lack of training of competent agents are considered to be the most important obstacles in this field. In this context, it seems that the multi-part systems involved in the field of educational policy, the lack of priority of institutionalizing the culture of Sacred Defense in the field of education compared to other fields, the lack of large investments in this field, and the lack of connection between the educational body and other parts related to the cultural teachings of Sacred Defense in a specialized way are among the important issues and components in investigating the obstacles.

Therefore, in the war of narratives, the domination system is trying to dominate the public opinion and achieve its arrogant goals by distorting the facts. But on the other hand, Nizam Elahi is trying to save the public opinion from the captivity of domination through the Jihad of Enlightenment. The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution chose the strategy of explanation jihad in the war of narratives, and on the other hand, by presenting the statement of the second step, he specified the goal of the Islamic Revolution and addressed the youth. Therefore, the main responsibility of this Jihad in the direction of the statement of the second step of the Islamic Revolution is the responsibility of the middle circles who are in contact with the body of the society on the one hand and the officials of the Islamic system on the other hand. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the role of the middle circles in the Jihad of explanation with the aim of realizing the statement of the second step. The current research collects information in a library form and examines it in a descriptive-analytical form.

The present study discusses reaction as a great harm to the Islamic Revolution from the perspective of the Supreme Leader; "Reaction" means to weaken, stop and return to the previous situationThis trait occurs after any revolution among individuals or groups in society who agree with the old, worn-out system and oppose progress. Reaction is one of the most important and dangerous components that threaten the Islamic Revolution.The hypothesis and the findings of the research show that the Supreme Leader considers reaction as a great danger for the revolution that arises by some revolutionaries and considers three factors as the reaction of the reaction; "Moving towards aristocracy", "trusting the affluent classes instead of paying attention to the oppressed and the weak" and "relying on foreigners instead of relying on the people". His Holiness considers the solution to this pest to be recognizing the goals of the revolution and its pillars.

Based on this, ...  Read More As long as the Islamic revolution continues on its true path, it will benefit from its inner richness in various fields and its functional dimensions will also increase. Based on this, it can be claimed that whenever the revolution moved on its true path, it achieved political functions, the set of which functions are unique in the divine-monotheistic system, and so far no system in the world has been able to achieve it. So far, there has been little talk about the fields of improving the political functions of the revolution in the society, based on this necessity, the author in this work will seek to explain these functions with a descriptive-analytical method, and finally he has come to the conclusion that the political functions of the revolution In internal and external dimensions, it depends on its movement in the discourse based on which it was created. Therefore, whenever the revolution deviates from its intended main track, its political functions will also decrease and naturally, it will bring a wave of public dissatisfaction.

The discourse developments of the Islamic Revolution in the dimension of floating signs have caused a sinusoidal movement in the relationship between the discourse of the Islamic Revolution and the middle class, which in turn has led to various changes and developments in Iranian politics in the era of the Islamic Republic. The question of the present study focuses on the relationship between the discourse of the Islamic Revolution and the middle class.

In fact, disability participation is the structure and function of social relations and the distribution of facilities, resources, division of labor and responsibilities in society. Changes and developments that have occurred in recent decades in the political and social field of women in Iran, increasing the level of education, participation in various social, political and economic fields and in general their efforts to gain different roles in society show the activation of the role Women are in different fields. However, it can be seen that the presence and participation of women in senior management has serious problems. In the meantime, the question arises whether the victory of the Islamic Revolution had an effect on the quality of women's political participation? What are the barriers to women's political participation? The results show that the teachings of the Islamic Revolution emphasize on independence, oppression, social justice and gender justice, and these concepts have played a key role in women's equitable participation and less attention has been paid to independent participation. The traditional structure and texture that is woven into the fabric of thought and thought of the people of the society is influenced by the political culture of the Iranian society and seems to be a serious obstacle to the realization of women's rights and participation.

Some even believe that the expiration date of this principle has expired. Therefore, recognizing this principle from the language of thinkers, especially Imam Khomeini, is of special importance; The present study intends to recognize the concept of neither Eastern nor Western, to explain it causally as the basic principle of the life of the Islamic Revolution in order to have a correct understanding of this principle and the present of the Islamic Republic. Therefore, in the main question, we can say that if we want to have a correct understanding of the principle of "neither East nor West" and the Islamic Republic in a fair analysis, what issues should we consider? The article hypothesis states: "Neither Eastern nor Western principle is the grand foreign policy strategy of the Islamic Republic, which has presented many obstacles, problems and opportunities to the Muslim nation of Iran."

Secularization is one of the most important concepts in the field of sociology of religion. Some argue that secularization is the inevitable future of all developing societies. In Iran, which has a structure intertwined with religion, this issue has always been of fundamental importance. In this article, using the documentary method, the formation process and the results of secularization in the Pahlavi dynasty and the period after the victory of the Islamic Revolution were studied. The results show that the Pahlavi government paid much attention to the policy of secularization and tried to expand it in all areas, which ultimately saw the failure of secularization policies and the emergence of a revolutionary movement through popular protests based on Islamic discourse. In the period after the victory of the Islamic Revolution, due to the depth and attachment of Iranians to religion and Islam, we are witnessing an integration path in society, the solution of which is to try to integrate religion and the modern situation theoretically and practically.
