Abstract

In our current era, Islamic countries often fall under the military, economic, cultural, and political dominance of global arrogance. Although the national currency in these systems may have a high financial value, the people and society in these countries lack cultural and political value. The leaders of those countries are intermediary slaves who could not even drink water let alone make decisions on important and major issues of running their country except with the permission of their masters. The question now is: What is the model that should be followed by the people of the colonial and oppressed society who have witnessed a deceptive image of the Western civilization in order to be liberated from the oppression of the autocratic States and how can they achieve success in this regard? This research is aimed to present an experimental model for the liberation of Islamic societies under autocratic control. In this research, an attempt is made to explore this issue from the perspective of the Holy Qur’an, relying on Qur’anic visions through a complex descriptive-analytical approach. And according to the foundations of Qur’anic thought of Imam Khamenei (May his authority be prolonged), who steered the turbulent ship of the Islamic Revolution in Iran for more than three decades during the most severe military storms, dangerous economic, political, and cultural hurricanes, and social waves to establish the greatest revolution based on the foundations of the teachings of the Holy Qur’an and achieved success in this field.
