The Strategic Pattern of Discourse of Velayat-e-Faqih (Imam Khomeini and Imam Khamenei's Presence) in Lifestyle

The concern over preservation of Islamic identity in terms of lifestyle has always been a serious challenge to our Islamic-Iranian society. The discourse of the Islamic Revolution, focused on religious identity in the Iranian community, was in fact a demonstration of the Iranian-Islamic narrative of life versus modern, secular, or a combination of both. Despite the importance of having a lifestyle strategic model, no pattern has been formulated in the pursuit of missions and the realization of the revolution objectives. This research aims to offer a strategic lifestyle model based on the discourse of velayate-e Faqih, and optimize such way of life. The research main question is as follows: the strategic model of lifestyle based on the discourse of velayat-e Faqih and the constitution, divine discourse of velayat-e faqih in the area of lifestyle, To answer the research question, various methods have been employed such as text-based approach, qualitative method including content analysis, discourse analysis and data theorizing through grounded theory (GT). The research assesses statements of Imam Khomeini (God’s blessing on him) and Imam Khamenei long life to him. The method of data theorizing through grounded theory was also used to present a lifestyle model. The result of the research is a multi-level strategic model comprising orientation elements and management dimensions and their indicators.
