Abstract

One of the most important issues in any revolution is to examine the horizons ahead of that revolution and the possibility or impossibility of its realization. The purpose of the present study is to examine the perspective of the Islamic Republic of Iran from the perspective of the Imam (may Allah have mercy on him) and the leadership. The main question is; How can the bright horizon that has always been emphasized by the Imams of the revolution since the victory of the Islamic Revolution until today be realized? This study has examined this issue using an analytical-descriptive method and using library resources as well as data collection from their statements and speeches. The findings of the above study are as follows: The Imams of the revolution have always considered in their statements that the main goal of forming an Islamic government during the occultation is to pave the way for the emergence of Imam Mahdi (may Allah have mercy on him) and believe that other goals and horizons of the country should also be in line with achieving this great goal. The most important factors that will make this vision come true are: maintaining a monotheistic view and deep heartfelt belief, not neglecting the main slogans and values, relying on internal capabilities, especially the strength and energy of the youth, hope for the future, jihadi work, and preserving the culture of sacrifice and martyrdom. In contrast, the dominance of a materialistic and self-serving view, self-deprecation, the dominance of Western culture, values, and lifestyle in society, and distancing oneself from Islamic beliefs and values, are among the most important obstacles facing the vision of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and ignoring them can gradually lead this revolution to the abyss of collapse and destruction.
