Undoubtedly, Fethullah Gulen is one of the Muslim intellectuals and social leaders whose thoughts have received attention in the last few decades. He introduces a new version of Islam, which is known as moderate Islam or social Islam among Western thinkers. Gülen interprets Islam by a Turkish reading, in which Islam finds a special link with Turkish identity. His innovative reading of Islam, while emphasizing individual morality and spirituality pays special attention to interpretation, tolerance and dialogue with other religions and supports the establishment of a comprehensive pluralist. By revising and redefining the words and terms of Sufism, he places service as a faith-inspired concept at the center of his work, which leads to the form of modern Sufism. Modern Sufism is the expansion of the concept of individual Sufism to the community and the promotion of social participation in today's modern world.In order to understand Gülen's reading of Islam, we first explain his interpretation of Turkish or Anatolian Islam by his intended concepts. In the meantime, we examine the concept of Jihad in more detail due to Gulen's new interpretation of that. Finally, we discuss the causes of the backwardness of Muslims from Gulen's point of view and in the framework of his understanding of Turkish Islam.It can be said that Gülen's social Islam is a type of secular Islam that is known as Rahmani Islam among Muslim thinkers. His Rahmani Islam, by displaying a gentle and non-violent face of Islam to the world and linking that with modernity, has five major features: selective and minimal view of Islam, distortion and conversion of the concepts of political Islam such as Jihad, ethics based on Universal and secular values, emphasis on tolerance, accepting the theory of religious pluralism and establishing a pluralistic society by support of Western democracy.

Investigating the concept of "pure Islam" in the thought of the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah KhameneiThe pure Islam in the intellectual system of the revolution leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, is a fundamental concept and all references and arguments are based on pure Islam. In this article, by examining the most important references in leader lectures and works before the revolution, efforts have been made to examine the concept of pure Islam and its dimensions. The method used in this research is content analysis. According to the results of the research, pure Islam pays attention to all aspects of human life and, in addition to the individual's dimension, it is important to consider social and political dimensions. Therefore, religion is not isolated from politics, and due to the attention given to this dimension by Imam Khomeini, the Islamic revolution was formed and the theory of democracy and Velayat-e faqih was introduced. The struggle against oppression, the importance of reasoning, the protection of the oppressed and the importance of sacrifice and jihad, the practical faith are essential features of pure Islam, and on the other hand, American Islam influenced by intellectual and intellectual thinking, supports wrongdoers, is ignorant of Worldly life and has an individualistic approach.

native science and its relation to religious science in recent decades has been the focus of Muslim scholars. According to some readings of native science, the pursuit of wisdom to science, all indigenous and historic.This approach usually taken as relativism and pluralism knowledge and in conflict with the principles of Islamic epistemology. Contrary to popular perception, relativism is not a unified whole and have varieties. Kachooyan is one of the scholars of Islamic methodology of human knowledge, which explain the historical nature of human and assert pluralism in humanities. This is reason to the accusation of radical relativism from some alternative streams in religious knowledge. The authors have tried to carefully distinguish between What is known as relativism, wise relativism and not acceptable relativism, and by explaining the views of the community of this Muslim thinker, to show that his ideas about native science, has no epistemological objections of fails types of relativism.

Similar to other domains of inquiry and knowledge, social sciences are influenced by various philosophical views and different axioms about the creation and humanity. Given that in social sciences human being is both the object and subject of inquiry and is the focal point of analysis, anthropological foundations become especially relevant for these sciences. Considering that Motahhari and Kant are associated with two widely different but important philosophical schools of thought, the anthropological foundations of philosophy of these two great thinkers will result into two different forms of social sciences. It is important to realize that without comparing and contrasting different schools of social sciences, it would be impossible to identify their potentials and weaknesses. This paper is an attempt to identify the anthropological foundations of philosophy of Motahhari and Kant and analyze their influence on the brands of social sciences that are associated with their thoughts. To achieve this objective, the paper will analyze the writings and other documents of Motahhari and Kant in detail. It will be shown that social sciences associated with Kant’s anthropological foundations is limited to positivism potentials and biological or physical anthropology. However, social sciences associated with Motahhari’s philosophical views simultaneously include biological, spiritual, and social domains of human life.
