Abstract Religious politics is one of the categories that has long been investigated in nations, especially Iran. In this connection, some argue that for politics to be on the proper path, it should follow religious teachings. This article investigates the criteria of religious politics from the perspective of Ayatollah Khamenei. The main question is: Which criteria are used to characterize religious politics from the view of Ayatollah Khamenei? Here, politics appears to follow such religious teachings as justice, laws, freedom, and popular choices to take steps into the proper path. We also investigate religious politics within the framework of ontological, cognitive, and humane foundations and thus examine the criteria of religious politics accordingly. This article uses content analysis to explore the thinking vision of Ayatollah Khamenei in the area of religious politics and its criteria. Content analysis is used for observational and document-based-historical research, which falls under quantitative research in terms of what it means to be. Throughout the research, we found that if the mechanisms of the political institution are aligned with religious teachings, a desirable society appears that fulfills divine ideals, thereby laying the ground for the prosperity and development of the nation in all domains. People of this society will also achieve their ideals and fulfill true prosperity and development.

Abstract Religious democracy has emerged as a novel concept in the political and cultural space of our society and has presented itself as a political philosophy and a special and independent model of government, as opposed to political philosophies and alternative models of government, especially secularism and fundamentalism. The main claim of religious democracy in Iran is that without a purely materialistic view of customary, humanistic, individualistic and commercial principles; A popular government can be established, but based on religious values ​​and within the framework of divine commandments. In fact, the main point of the research is that so far no serious attempt has been made to compare the three types of alternative political systems (religious democracy, secularism and fundamentalism) in order to show their differences or possibly some similarities. In this article, using a descriptive-analytical method based on logical reasoning, we make a comparative comparison between religious democracy and secularism and fundamentalism in order to enumerate their differences and commonalities, components and indicators of democracy. Let us also explain religion.

Abstract In Imam Khomeini's thought, with the development of the responsibilities of the Islamic system, the purpose of establishing such a system at three national, regional (Islamic) and global levels is defined. Therefore, his comprehensive approach to the political system of Islam in the absence of the leadership of the Infallible Imam is extroverted and cosmopolitan. That is, he considers the effort to expand the influence of Islam in the world as the original responsibility of the Islamic State beyond national borders. In Imam's view, the way to the success of such an Islamic cosmopolitan approach is to issue a revolution that has led to the realization of an efficient Islamic government. The idea of ​​export is the common ideal of most revolutions, although the type and nature of such action varies from type to type. In Imam Khomeini's political thought and life based on religious principles, export has its own characteristics. In this approach to realistic idealism, the export of the Islamic Revolution is a two-pronged strategy that, based on the interests of both parties, leads to the pursuit of national interests while pursuing transnational responsibilities. The main question is how in Imam Khomeini's thought, the Islamic State should take steps to achieve Islamic globalism, and what relation does this set of transnational responsibilities of the Islamic State have with national interests?
