Abstract

Islamic revolution of Iran was formed to topple two dominating paradigms namely communism and liberalism and to establish a civilization based on original Islamic culture. There is no doubt that only a society who believes in these aspirations and is willing to sacrifice its resources can follow these transcendental goals and causes. Therefore "standard society" is born; a society that, in addition to beliefs and values typical for any Islamic society, has some characteristics more important and more prominent due to its revolutionary nature. The current study tries to identify and compile these
characteristic which are as follows regarding late Imam Khomeini's and supreme leader's viewpoints; belief in the
correlation between religion and politics, thrift and altruism, national self-confidence, hope for the future,
emphasis on work, the power of intellect.
