Iran's greatest leadership, Hazrat Ayatollah Khamenei
In order to have a comprehensive recognition regarding Islamic Revolution and related issues, first, it is essential to have clear-cut definition of it so that, by this definition, we can have real and overall outlook about this t phenomena in fact, this definition would be a term in which we enter into the topic of Islamic Revolution in the thoughts of the high leadership of Iran. Islamic Revolution is the combination of two words, Islam and Revolution so, here Islam is "the goal" and Revolution is a "means". In fact, the people and the leadership of Islamic Revolution have attempted, by Revolution, to live Islam again, as a social and political school

Revolution {1}

" Revolution" is a derivation of the Arabic word " change" and it means " a complete change" the philosophers defined it as "moving against available situation, in order to fix favorable situation " and they have divided it in two parts of individual and social revolution so, in this case, personal revolution, either can be humanistic or animalistic. In social science, revolution is an old concept which different definitions have been provided about it and each of scholars and the intellectuals have different understanding from it. So, at the moment, this expression is used in different or variety of human life, whether individual or social domain, with general concepts. This word which is equivalent "soorah" and "Entephaza" in Arabic language, in Persian language, it is used to express an specific kind of social variety and its expressional meaning is " a fundamental and qualitative change as well as a huge return in the life of society " but its meaning in in the science of socialism means " falling an old system and replacement by a new and different one"
The word of revolution, for the first time in its political new meaning, was used in the state cities of middle centuries in Italy and in pointing to Church-based expressions in this word was first, near the Christian year 1600 and under the government of Cramol entered into English language so, in a paradoxical way retained the meaning of change and reforming of old system to itself. The concept of revolution, as a fundamental change, is a quite new phenomenon. From ancient Greek up to the beginning of the Renaissance era, revolution was understood as a circular movement like those of the stars. Henceforth, the revolution showed a kind of orbit in policy it means a movement from aristocracy to democracy and then toward tyranny and vice versa therefore, it is only after the eighth century (especially after the French revolution in 1789) the word of revolution finds its meaning as everlasting and fundamental concept. The concept of revolution is often used in descriptive and moral showcase however, most of writers especially those who follow Carol Marx, use the word revolution as a valuable change. Often, this concept, in politics, means reduction of inequality and creating fairer, in other word, it may be means replacing a more democratic regime to a more powerful one or making a more excellent standard life. So, we see that there is variety of different outlooks concerning phenomena of revolution

Islam

Islam as a religion, is a system of beliefs and rules which God has sent by Holy prophet (peace be upon) to provide happiness, personal as well as social evolution, worldly and celestial prosperity of human beings in fact, the rules and beliefs of Islam, are instructions and concepts for setting behavior and relations .
Concept of Revolution from Iran's greatest leadership's point of view after offering this introduction concerning these two key word "revolution " and "Islam" , it is fit to have a look at concept of revolution from the Leadership's point of view . Revelation from the vision of Iran's scholar leadership, have had a quite Islamic and divine interpretation and means reviving of Islam {he says} "revolution is an Islamic and divine interpretation. We know revolution as moral, cultural and believing change which is preceded with social, political and economical change and then overall development of human is obtained. As it is in a Verse of Holy Quran " In fact, God does not change the fate of a nation unless ,themselves change their fate" As the leader says: whenever human beings change their sinister temperaments, weaknesses, faults and disbelieving of their own, their social condi8tions will be changed and nothing can stop them. To start this movement and creating a general change, the human beings must have feeling of commitment the Greatest Iranian leadership, does not think of Revolution necessarily as type of riot, turbulence, chaotic situation and out of discipline but, he believes that revolution means, fundamental change In which false basis are eradicated and true basis are replaced and incorrect values replaces true ones and causes rebuild. On the other hand, revolution is an era and a continuing move , and it is not something transient while, hundreds of conditions and situations must be provided so that a revolution happens of course, these situations are not easily made henceforth, revolution is a so reach and rare event and to get it, continuing attempt is needed on the condition that sprit or intention of request and necessity of revolution being existed among people so, the revolution will not be an accidental or haphazard issue and wont achieved through imagination but, it is something real. Hazrat Ayatollah khamenei, rejects opinions of those who define revolution as fight ,violence and turbulence in society and as result, consider it as negative and ugly in fact Iran's great and popular leadership , thinks of revolution as a boiling furnace which changes the shape and sets of available elements in the society as an elixir which changes a community however, this change this kind of change does not occur in the level of society but, in the first class, in the layer of the human's inside as well as their heart and mind so, the men have the main role in it and eyeing at believing and fundamental of basis of society so, according to Hazrat Ayatollah , Leader of Iran, revolution has following features.

1- Revolution is a deep and fundamental change in the domain of values principals and believing bases
2- The people play the main role in, shaping, continuity and preceding it
3- The revolution is a continuous direction, not a transient or haphazard event
4- Intention and people's interest and their internal revolution is prerequisite for achievement of revolution in the society

Up to now, based on whatever said concerning the ideology of Iran's scholar leadership we can define Islamic revolution as " Islamic revolution means revolting against the ignorant values and autonomic systems and the culture of tying people to chains, aiming to revive and deepen the Islamic beliefs and principals in thoughts and behaviors of person and community in a fast sense and apparent which will be followed with violence and killing due to the resistance of ruling government , in order to achieve human's evolution and Islamic (pure life as Holy Quran promise) which obtaining it is a long last and step by step job.
