Abstract
Citizenship rights are one of the main pillars of human rights that have been considered by scholars and statesmen around the world from various angles. The study of citizenship rights is necessary because this issue is promoted by Western countries and the Western view, while some of these countries trample on many of the citizenship rights of their nations, While the Islamic Revolution considers the origin of these rights to be Islam, in recent years, some Muslims have neglected this issue and have accepted Western schools as advocates of citizenship rights and have imitated them. For this purpose, this article seeks to examine the concept of citizenship rights in the three dimensions of Islam from the perspective of the Islamic Revolution and in contrast to the Western viewpoint. Therefore, this research seeks to answer the question of how citizenship rights derived from Islamic thought have been depicted in the view of the Islamic Revolution. To answer this question, a descriptive method and an Islamic-indigenous theoretical framework have been used and the findings showed that citizenship rights in the thought of the Islamic Revolution and in contrast to the Western view based on the three dimensions of Islam (beliefs, ethics, jurisprudence) have been categorized in the form of ideological rights, moral-spiritual rights, and political-jurisprudential rights, which are focused on the capacity of the individual (including strengths and weaknesses) and the capacity of society (including opportunities and threats) to produce and Sometimes it is restricted.
