Orientalism has considerably aided to establish and rule the occident civilization on the way of imperialism’s interests. The main goal has been de-identification and de-civilization from the orient (especially Islam). These purposes have followed by west not only in the political and economical aspects, but also in the scientific and speculative aspects (e.g. some social theories). This article seeks to reveal the modality of deconstruction of orientalism as well as paying attention to distinctions of the Islamic civilizational identity contained in Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah’s discourse. In this regard, the discourse analysis (with emphasis on the Colonial D.A.) and full sampling among 853 e-documents concerning Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah’s statements have been applied. The findings and results have been articulated in 12 axes: 1) constructing dimensions of identity, 2) threatening dimensions of identity, 3) the identity inversion from the side of colonialists, 4) the identity neutralization from the side of Islamic agents, 5) the essence and dimensions of the Islamic culture, 6) the significance and role of Iran’s Islamic revolution, 7) the apocalyptic and futuristic discourse, 8) right-and-wrong’s civilizational combat, 9) dimensions and examples of the multi-lateral enemy’s plots, 10) dimensions and examples of the real condition of enemies, 11) strengthening dimensions and examples of Islam’s civilization and culture, 12) the juridical discourse.

Woman as a symbol of divine Beauty in Imam Khomeini`s thought has a close connection to some high concepts such as freedom, chastity, dignity, the origin of the good, bravery etc. and she has a major influence on the destiny of herself and her society. The woman in the thought of Imam Khomeini (pbuh) not against the man, but beside him, has a significant responsibility in all aspects of personal, social and political life. Aside from a short period in the early Islam, when her true dignity was revived by the Prophet and his family (pbut), the woman was deprived of her true status in all other eras. Findings of this survey shows that Imam Khomeini’s points of view concerning the presence of the woman in the society in two different era of Pahlavi and after Islamic revolution are totally different. In the time of Pahlavi, this presence was not desirable because of the situation of that period, like hijab prohibition, which made it impossible for women to reach their real status. But the revolutionary movements of women during the formation of Islamic revolution of Iran and imposed war are considered blessing. The attribute of Imam Khomeini had an impressive influence on the social presence of women after revolution. This paper assessing the identity and dignity of the Muslim woman from the viewpoint of Imam Khomeini (pbuh) and the result of such attribute on the social presence of women in various aspects by giving real examples in this respect.

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.

There are a variety of definitions about social security and threats indicating a lack of consensus on this issue, and not considering the impact of social conditions of different countries. Thus, although in a scientific study considering other viewpoints can be useful, in order to be practical, we should indigenously note indigenous conditions and domestic scholar’s comments. Based on this idea, this study investigated one of the Iranian Muslim scholars’ viewpoint namely Ayatollah Khamenei about social security threats which are conceived to be highly influenced by local conditions. In this study a qualitative method and content analysis has been used to refer to all statements of the Supreme Leader since the beginning of his inauguration (1989) till 2011 and the threats were extracted and classified. Then a number of 36 country’s military and security experts confirmed these conceptual threats. The results revealed that social security threats in Iran from the viewpoint of the Supreme Leader includes creating intrigue and turmoil, threatening and intimidation, enemy propaganda, creating doubt in the beliefs of youth, creating religious division, interference of the enemies in the internal affairs of the country, ethical and financial corruption, ethnic division, breaking the law, insecurity of social environment, drug abuse and addiction in society and, finally, youth unemployment.

In the Western model of progress, knowledge that is associated with increased power and wealth, acquired through mastery over nature, holds significant importance. Such knowledge is believed to bring about human and societal happiness, creating the best form of welfare. Based on this perspective, indigenous models of progress are not considered, and the cultural world of countries and nations is given little significance. Shariati criticizes the Western model of progress. He strives to establish a new model of progress, taking into account the cognitive and cultural layers of Iranian society, to address its issues and meet its needs. In this context, he does not view the rejection of technology and instrumental reason as the solution to overcome the limitations of the Western progress model. Instead, he proposes developing a new progress model that recognizes not only instrumental reason but also other aspects of intellect affirmed by Islam. This model also emphasizes the importance of considering each society's history and culture. Shariati's Islamic model for progress is called "Ummat," which is entirely tangible and attainable, as well as a salvific solution for humanity. The three symbols of progress in Islam are "Book," "Balance," and "Iron." Furthermore, from his perspective, progress means self-reflection, continuous return to one's religious and national identity, and the utilization of all aspects of rationality.
