Abstract Transcendental wisdom, which was proposed by Mulla Sadra during the Safavid era, was able to find a special place in the theoretical and practical arena in the intellectual system of Muslims and thinkers and scholars of the Islamic Revolution by combining reason, narration, and intuition, and presenting a harmonious system of epistemology and ontology. In this article, an attempt has been made to examine the process of spreading, expanding, and evolving transcendental wisdom from the Safavid era to the Islamic Revolution by using the descriptive method and collecting information through documentary and library methods, as well as applying the diffusion theory. The questions of this research are: What are the contexts and grounds for the growth and expansion of transcendental wisdom? Who are the bearers of this thought during this four-hundred-year period? What obstacles and challenges has the path of transcendental wisdom from the Safavid era to the Islamic Revolution been faced with? And how has the infinity of this philosophical thought influenced the Islamic Revolution?
The findings of the research show that transcendental wisdom from the Safavids to the Islamic Revolution was mainly carried out through non-hierarchical dissemination, with various ups and downs, and by a set of carriers. In the course of this process, news and anti-rational thoughts on the one hand and secular thoughts influenced by Western modernity on the other hand have been among the important challenges of this thought. The thinkers of transcendental wisdom, by seriously criticizing these two intellectual streams and benefiting from their positive points, succeeded in presenting a middle model based on selection and possession in confronting ideas. Which is based on dualities such as the connection between this world and the afterlife, the connection between justice and freedom,

Abstract How to engineer and arrange the institutions of power and the division of duties and powers of government organizations and institutions is one of the important issues of the Islamic school. Among the key questions in this field is the question of power engineering and the way institutions and powers were arranged during the period of absence from Imam Khomeini's (RA) perspective. In his opinion, there is no fixed and permanent order in this regard, and he has linked decision-making about the structure of the government to the requirements and conditions of time and place. The method used in this research is descriptive-analytical based on content analysis. The proposition, "Although the content and nature of the religious government is not changeable according to Imam Khomeini (RA), but its structure is changeable without a fixed pattern, according to the conditions and situations", is the most important finding of the research.Structure means building, composition, organization and organization. In the culture of political science, "construction or structure refers to the order of sets of objects, parts and forces that are put together in a way that forms a special whole." (Aghabakhshi, 1374: 330). In the science of politics, the structure of government refers to the arrangement of forces, institutions and organizations. In other words, the government structure is the engineering of power institutions in a purposeful and systematic way. In this sense, the structure is a function of the government's goals and is built in such a way that the goals are met. And therefore, it is considered "the structure, tools and methods of guiding towards the destination and goal and a tool for efficiency" (Yousefi, 1389: 171).

Abstract n January 7, 1978, an article entitled "Iran and the Red and Black Colonization" written by Ahmad Rashidi Motlagh was published in the newspaper Ettela'at. This article was widely reported throughout Iran, but with the spread of the Qom protests, its consequences became immediately apparent, and the number of people killed increased as the protests spread. This paper seeks to investigate the nature of the article and the reasons and consequences of its publication by considering Korpi's theory and Mohammad Reza Shah's performance in the face of crisis. The findings of the present study show that the article of January 7, like a spark in the heart of suffocating and repressive days, led to the unification of opposition forces based on religious ideology and became a turning point for field struggles. What is important, meanwhile, was the regime's reckless approach to confronting the opposition, which ultimately sparked the revolution in the wake of such incidents.
