Abstract
Iran's Islamic Revolution, as a religious revolution, was able to achieve victory and stabilize the Islamic Republic by relying on spirituality as soft power. Spirituality is a component that is considered in the statement of the second step as one of the main axes of this strategic document; Therefore, the position of spirituality in the soft power of the Islamic Revolution needs to be re-read and addressed to issues such as "the role and function of spirituality in promoting the soft power of the Islamic Revolution, the indicators of religious and revolutionary spirituality, the characteristics of competing discourses compared to the spiritual discourse of the Islamic Revolution, and the essential role of the element of spirituality." In increasing the soft power of the Islamic Revolution at the domestic and international levels, attention should be paid. In the present study, attention is paid to the spiritual indicators of the second step statement, such as the spiritual values of sincerity, sacrifice, trust, faith, and rationality, which are not seen in the competing discourses of emerging spiritualities, and instead, by isolating members, irrational sectarianism, and extreme pluralism of sects, and with The use of symbolism has sought to fill the spiritual void of man in the era of modernity, explaining the spiritual discourse of the Islamic Revolution to the public opinion is the way to deal with the challenges and dangers that the new currents create for the original revolutionary spirituality. Keywords: spiritual discourse, soft power, second step statement, indicators of spirituality, rival discourse.
