The present study is a theoretical exploration that tries to provide ontological criteria, while conceptually explaining the principles and separating them from the basic principles, sub-principles, rules and partial practical patterns, to provide the possibility of scientific judgment about the position and relationship of concepts with each other. Then, it critiques and re-reads what is mentioned in the existing works in this field as "principles of Islamic diplomacy" based on the presented ontological principles. To achieve this goal, the three foundations of monotheistic thought, political thought and Islamic diplomacy are presented and seven key propositions are identified as principles derived from them and others as sub-rules and rules that come from the main propositions. Also, an attempt has been made in the form of a qualitative method and based on the principles of theoretical research method, to show the how of articulating the floating signifiers of Islamic diplomacy in the system of Islamic political thought and by drawing a final chart, the result of the research achievements is presented.

One of the most important issues regarding the Islamic government is the government decree of the Islamic ruler; Because it is considered as a way for exercising guardianship in all aspects of Islamic society. One of the important issues in the scope of Islamic ruler`s exercising guardianship is to explain the relationship between government decrees and the primary and secondary divine ones, which has a direct effect on the scope of the Islamic ruler`s authority. However, there are many differences among thinkers in this regard. In order to achieve a correct explanation of this relationship with a descriptive-analytical method, this study has examined the nature of government decree from the perspective of jurisprudence and concluded that government decree is essentially counterpart of divine decrees and includes all primary decrees, secondary decrees and those out of the two at first and then, analyzing the orders of Imam Khomeini (ra) in this regard, it is concluded that he has carefully considered the rulings of the government from two perspectives: 1. The nature of the government decree, 2. Government decree as the subject of the first divine decree.

Research needs assessment refers to the process of identifying potential research needs and setting priorities. This study has tried to present the most important needs in the field of "Mahdist studies" with the approach of "media studies" in the era of the Islamic Revolution with the aim of improving the quality of Mahdism. This article considers "overcoming Mahdavi message over popularly desired culture", "presenting a favorable media model of approach to Mahdism", "engineering the global transmission of Mahdism" and "optimal management against soft media threats of Mahdism" as the most important requirements of the Islamic Revolution. Knows with a media approach. The realization of religious media requires a huge range of intellectual activities in the field of production of appropriate software. Proper processing of media messages is the most important task of the media at the level of the Islamic Revolution in the field of Mahdism. The results of data analysis and synthesis show the power of "extracting and equipping" the doctrine of Mahdism in the field of media studies. In other words, this doctrine has the motivational power in exploiting the material and immaterial facilities available in society to achieve the goals and ideals of the Islamic Revolution in the field of media.

The importance of confronting the Pahlavi regime with opposing religious currents, especially seminaries and clergy during the reign of Mohammad Reza Shah is the main issue of research.

The reform movements of the Islamic world were formed between 1948 and 1979 in response to the colonization and domination of the infidels over the Islamic world, as well as with the "spread" of the idea of political Islam. The purpose of this article is to examine the "interaction" of the two important movements of this period, Ikhwan ul-Muslimin and the Islamic Movement of Iran. The hypothesis of the article is that the Islamic Movement of Iran is basically derived from Shiite political thought and fiqh, and has used the scientific works of the Ikhwan ul-Muslimin movement only to strengthen the campaign literature. In the 1940s and 1950s, due to the need of the society for a thought with a religious-political approach, through the interaction between Iranian clerics and Ikhwan figures, some of Seyyed Qutbchr('39')s works were translated into Persian and used by the revolutionary forces in Iran. This article intends to study the interaction between the reform movements of Ikhwan ul-Muslimin and the Islamic Movement of the Iranian people with a descriptive and analytical method.

The Islamic Revolution of Iran is the most important revolution that surprised the thinkers of the world. Because in the context of this movement, the thinkers of the world are confronted with a phenomenon called religion and the role-playing of the clergy, which was considered by many to be a symbol of solidarity and petrification. The Islamic Revolution, four decades after its victory, has been studied from various angles. One of the most important areas of study that Orientalists have focused on in recent years is the role of the clergy in the Islamic Revolution. The present study seeks to evaluate the theories on this issue using a descriptive-analytical method. The scientific results of this study indicate that Orientalists have not been able to provide a correct analysis of the role of clergy management in the Islamic Revolution due to lack of proper knowledge of the nature of the Islamic Revolution, its leadership and doubts about the scientific potential of Islam.

The present study seeks to answer the question of what concepts the visual and written signs in the posters of Sardar Soleimani include and what is their role in expressing the culture of resistance and martyrdom. The purpose of this research is to identify the concepts of visual and written signs in general Soleimani posters and to get acquainted with the effect of posters in introducing their existential values to the society and also expressing the culture of resistance and martyrdom. The research method is descriptive-analytical. The results show that the main concepts of Shahid Soleimani`s posters and billboards are values such as guardianship-basedness, resistance, eternal life and ascension, uruj, power and security. Haj Qassem Soleimanichr('39')s personality traits, the grief of the people over his loss, Haj Qassem the international figure of the resistance, reaching Holy Quds and revenge are other concepts of these works. In these works, the face of Martyr Soleimani, as a superior sign, plays a key role in conveying meaning, and the written signs on posters and billboards convey the message of the Supreme Leader of the Revolution after his martyrdom, which has a semantic connection with the visual elements in the posters.

Shiite Studies centers have been established to explain Shiite teachings and specific knowledge as well as the Shiites formation. Acquiring knowledge of the status of Shiite studies centers, the mission of Shiite centers, their formulation and search for their goals and approaches is the mission of this research and it intends to identify the mentioned centers, to analyze their status in structural and content aspects to make their formation in homogeneous categories possible. This can be considered important for changing the methods and goals of Shiite centers and opening theoretical perspectives for further research to reduce its existing shortcomings. The method of the present research is qualitative and deals with the ups and downs and trends of Shiite studies with a descriptive-analytical method.

The Islamic Revolution, as a source of dissemination, has provided new teachings to the Muslims of Nigeria; in such a way that the Shiite community, its scientific and religious centers have been activated after the victory of the Islamic Revolution. But the spread of the Islamic Revolution and the spread of Shiism have met many obstacles; in this research, it has been studied based on Hagerstrand diffusion theory. Broadcast barriers are factors that prevent a phenomenon from spreading from the source of the broadcast to the destination; and are considered an obstacle against the spread of the Islamic Revolution. This research, with a descriptive-analytical method, answers the question: What are the obstacles facing the spread of the Islamic Revolution in Nigeria? The central idea and hypothesis of the present study is that extremist groups in Nigeria, the Nigerian army, the Saudi government and trans-regional actors (the West, especially the United States) are among the obstacles against the Islamic Revolution in Nigeria.
