Abstract

The Islamic Revolution of Iran is considered one of the most important social and political events in the world in the 20th century. Today, entering the second step of the revolution and after four decades of the victory of the Islamic Revolution, the revolutionary spirit of people is very important for the Islamic Republic system. This concept is one of the important indicators that have been proposed for the first time by the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, during the last three decades. In his statements, revolutionism is a key concept and therefore it can be considered as a central and strategic concept in his thought system, in such a way that a review of the statements made in recent years confirms that he has emphasized more on the mentioned concept. This article, with an analytical approach, explores and examines the statement of the second step of the revolution and the speeches of the Supreme Leader in order to achieve a precise and correct understanding of his positions regarding revolutionism. The Supreme Leader of the Revolution stated in the statement of the second step that we want to achieve the government that deserves to emerge. In this regard, we should pay attention to the new Islamic civilization, that is, to have a society that is ready for the new Islamic civilization to achieve the foundational society for the emergence. One of the important components of modern Islamic civilization is the revolutionary government. It is obvious that an Islamic state is made up of revolutionary people and it is necessary to examine the characteristics of a revolutionary person from the point of view of His Holiness. This research is a qualitative research and its method is analytical-descriptive. Also, the current research is practical from the point of view of its purpose; that the obtained results can be used in different organizations in order to implement the goals of the statement of the second step of the revolution. In this research, all the guidelines and speeches published by Hazrat Ayatollah Khamenei (Mudazlah al-Ali) about the subject under review, through his official website and Hadith Velayat software, have been examined.
