Abstract

From the point of view of Imam Khamenei as an Islamic thinker and thinker, the Islamic government has its own way of governing the society and it is not such that it can achieve its goals by using Western methods. The reason for this is that the methods are valuable in religious democracy. This approach, while opposed to Western democracy, also contradicts tyranny and dictatorship. Imam Khamenei, therefore, has emphasized this new and innovative method, which has been interpreted as religious democracy, as a new, innovative and innovative method that can be used in the analysis of current political systems. Take note. On the other hand, individualism is one of the undeniable features of Western thought. So the foundations of Western democracy, and even the best of them, such as participatory democracy, are either in practice or inapplicable or, in many cases, facing paradigmatic challenges, in the face of Islam being a holistic worldview. The researchers found in this descriptive and analytical study that Islamic thinking is fundamentally different from Western thinking and that these differences are at the fundamental epistemic levels, which are at the core of the subject of these two thinking and that of religious democracy. They are fundamentally at odds with participatory democracy. Therefore, the main issue of this research is to introduce and identify two theories of religious democracy according to the political ideas of Imam Khamenei and participatory democracy with regard to the existing ideas in Western schools as well as introducing obstacles to democracy.
