Backwardness and lack of development is one of the primary concerns of all Muslim thinkers, including Hanafi and Ardakani, and each of them offered a variety of explanations and contributing factors. Understanding the scope and reality of the Islamic world and posing the appropriate query are more important than the solution and what should be done. Using the qualitative analysis method described in this article, Hanafi and Davari Ardakani collected the essential data and information from books, articles, and other written sources and compilations. The importance of understanding the West and its modernity and culture is emphasized in the works of Davari and Hanafi, who believe that a significant portion of the problems confronting Islamic societies are the result of the incorrect design and imitation of the cultural and philosophical foundations of Western modernity. In certain periods of modern history, this resulted in the field of philosophical and political thought in the Islamic world being regarded as the most crucial path forward for Islamic societies in the plan for cognitive reconstruction of the Islamic world. According to Hanafi, the most significant factors of degeneration are the categories of reconstruction of Islamic religious epistemological foundations, dogmatism and self-righteousness, the superiority of transferable sciences over rational sciences, the rule of enlightened attitude, nationalism, and the absence of a rational approach to the Quran. Ardakani’s evaluation also identifies the lack of a development policy and a critical philosophy as obstacles to development.

After the first encounters of Iranian with the west and their familiarity with the westerns governing and their astonishment at science progress there, Iranian lagging behind from the west was become a certain issue for our country thinkers and intellectuals and also it continues yet. In order to solve the concept of Iranian historical decline and their backwardness from the west, Ali Shariati and Abdolkarim Soroush views as two most influential Iranian intellectuals was used in this research. Indeed, they were chosen since both of them are two most prominent thinkers who belongs to different social conditions before and after the Iranians Islamic revolution respectively. Therefore, compare of their ideas about the reasons of Iran’s civilization decline and backwardness from the west would lead to better perception of the mentioned issue. For this purpose, the qualitative content analysis was utilized. According to the results, Shariati believed that stupefication or estehmar (it is an innovation concept by Shariati) is the most mainly reason of the Iranian historical decline and backwardness and also the solution is reform of both agency and structure by return to noble Islamic ideology. In addition, Soroush is of the opinion that lack of experimental sciences growth, lack of concept of right, despotism and colonialism as well are mainly reasons of Iranian historical decline and backwardness. Furthermore, his opinion is way of development passes through the scientific development. Moreover, both of them believed that religion is not cause of either the development or backwardness instinctively. Although Shariati believed that there is a potential in religion which could be helpful to reform Iranian society. Conversely Soroush believes that, in general, religion is not able to provide all human beings worldly needs. so he has suggested empirical science against the discourse of returning to Islamic ideology for Iranian society development.

.In this paper try to explain, with an Ibn khaldon's aprroach that mentioned, the obstacles of development in the second Pahlavi era. From Ibn Khaldun's perspective, factors such as people, political officials, beliefs, wealth, or resources, development, and justice are linked in a circular and independent. They affect each other and provides grounds for positive or negative transformation. Considering that during the second Pahlavi, some components such as wealth, namely, oil money and foreign aid as constructive elements, had the potential for a positive development impact. However, these factors have made official elements dependent on the government more, and they were subordinated to the political system instead of being effective. Moreover, unofficial groups performed their duties, and the most important effects of the domination of informal groups is disregard for order and law, which provides context for avoiding positive developments. On the other hand, the improvement of the monetary situation provided context for the despotism of Mohammad Reza Shah in the late period of his rule. Meanwhile, good government in Ibn Khaldun's view is neither an interventionist government nor a dictatorial government. Therefore, the effect that the pivotal variables have on development in other variables has had a negative impact, not a turning point for development.

The main purpose of this paper is to explore the indicators of the Iranian-Islamic model of development from Ayatollah Khamenei's perspective. It is attempted not to have any predisposition or hypothesis in advance. The research findings are based on an analysis of the supreme leader's statements, views and discussions on the Islamic-Iranian pattern of development. Our findings indicate that there are several factors contributing to the necessity of suggesting an Islamic-Iranian model of development. These factors are the inefficiencies of Western patterns of development (being one-dimensional concept, non-religious as well as the priority of worldly goals), the significance of providing indigenous and independent definition of development (not following Western patterns and theories of development sightlessly, taking out theoretical foundations and methods of realizing the needed pattern from Islamic sources, localizing experiences and achievements of other nations' theories and patterns, and planning in accordance with the cultural and historical features of Iran), and formulating a pattern based on indicators and principles of Islam (Monotheism, Resurrection, not separating this world and the other world, Islamic view on human development, government, justice and immaterial look at the economy).
