Every motion, movement or revolution requires a series of items to appear. Just the same as phenomenon appearance requires some backgrounds and beds, its continuity and survival need some factors which may include objective, material, subjective and conceptual aspects. Each of these aspects provides some part of the phenomenon's life. As we said appearance of a phenomenon requires some items, however its growth and development also depends on such manner. In this paper the author attempts to study the Islamic Revolution of the Iran occurred in 1979 and analyze its power items in the Islam world, the items which caused the Revolution to be survived, developed and propagated in the Islamic world's geography. Therefore, it has attempted to answer this essential question: which items and how did cause the Islamic Revolution to be powerful in the Islam world?

There is no doubt about the presence of ethics in society. Imam Khomeini, who founded and managed the Islamic Republic of Iran, was a pious politician and an authority in many fields including ethics. He believes all Islamic ethical rules are political. So the present paper will try to systematically explain Imam Khomeini's contributions to political ethics based on a descriptive-analytical approach. It seems that Imam Khomeini's political ethics is based on brotherhood. For studying, stabilizing, and expanding brotherhood, the society should be ornamented with virtues and cleaned from roguery. He believes that all human beings have two types of inborn nature, an original nature which loves absolute perfection, and an dependent nature which hates imperfection. Brotherhood relationship is strengthened through being ornamented with virtues in line with human's original nature. It helps society to become like a single body and act in line with Allah not in line with the self. In this way, society will turn into a utopia associated with God. Thus, on the basis of such ethical system which is innately political, the paper is to present a solution for personal, familial, political, economic, and social problems at a national, local, and global level.

The present study deals with the role and the position of free thinking in the Islamic revolution discourse in Iran. In fact, as a macro discourse with its special readings and interpretations of radical concepts such as politics, ideology, freedom and justice, the political Islam builds a discourse as Islamic Revolution which attached hegemonic position upon victory of the Islamic Revolution and establishment of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Islamic Revolution of Iran discourse by categorizing its discourse elements and details for floating suggestive such as freedom, science and knowledge, provides content that demonstrate its discourse differentiation with the modernity discourse. Such discourse also creates and categorizes suggestive such as the science production movement, software movement, free thinking and Islamic culture in the university environment to create the concept of Islamic University. Hence this research benefits from the discourse analysis method to investigate the concept of free thinking in the discourse of Islamic revolution and its relationship with university and from the other side illustrates the grounds of difference of this discourse with the modernity discourse.

The issue of women's participation in social-political arenas is among important issues of social sciences studies. The issue gains more importance when it is studied within a revolutionary context. The participation of Iranian women in the course of the revolution gained them the designation of Revolution of Islamic Covers (chadurs). The main question of the present paper is: How the discourse of Islamic Revolution, contrary to its previous two discourses, i.e., the traditional and modernization discourses, could win the participation of women in social-political arenas? The main objective of the present paper is to delve into the issue through discourse analysis method. Hence, the traditional, modernization and Islamic Revolution discourses are studied at two levels, i.e., inter- and intra-discourse levels. The main hypothesis of the present paper is that the two first discourses at inter-discourse level faced discontinuation in their articulation and adopted the strategy of rejection and exclusion towards others, while at intra-discourse level they became incapable of preserving the former advocates and attracting new supporters. On the other hand, the synthetic nature of the articulation of Islamic Revolution's discourse at the inter-discourse level and adoption of a critical and positive approach towards others based on cultural, social and political requirements of the society at intra-discourse level defined a new meaning and political and social identity for the Iranian women. This redefinition in its turn encouraged a large number of women to join the current of struggle against the government, who chose a traditional symbol, i.e., hijab as their struggle of symbol.

This paper shows that the conflict between liberal discourse of political Islam and Islamic jurisprudential discourse and the various social status of any of them, prepared political conflict and affected The role of the interim government and the end of work period of interim government in the establishment stage of the Islamic system.
