What has been common in the literature of power with all its aspects and aspects so far in scientific and academic circles and at the strategic level originates from the cultural and epistemic foundations of the West. However, the Islamic Republic of Iran is a claimant of an independent cultural, social, political and economic system based on the foundations of a distinct ontology and epistemology. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to examine and explain the literature of power with the capacities of the civilizational culture of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The main question is, what kind of literature does power represent in the context of the civilizational culture system of the Islamic Republic of Iran? To achieve this question, a sequential-exploratory combined method has been used. In this context, cultural capacities were first identified and confirmed with the qualitative-quantitative method, then the power was extracted with the qualitative-qualitative method of the literature and completed and confirmed through an in-depth interview. Then the findings of these two methods were combined. The summary result of this research shows that the literature of power based on the cultural capacities of the Islamic Republic of Iran in terms of origin, nature, source, tools, methods and methods, goals, dimensions and types, actors, type of relationship, distribution of power, ways of acquiring and maintaining Power, control and transmission of power has a unique literature that is significantly different from the literature of power in the West. The most important result of this research is to base the gravity and focal point of the literature of power on the basis of civilizational culture on "monotheism", which is considered as the central signifier, the organizer of the semantic system, the integrator of all the differentiating elements and components with other literature of power.

Guidance has a transcendent meaning in Islamic literature and is at the center of the definition of politics in Islamic sources; and it is its identity which has both internalized politics and differentiated it from others (history). Research on political leadership, unlike the category of leadership, does not have a long history. In the first way, the lack of research in the political thought of the Supreme Leader of the Revolution is also evident (background). What model can the political thought of the Supreme Leader of the Revolution regarding political guidance provide? (Question). The method used to answer this question is data foundation (grounded theory) with the approach of Strauss and Corbin, who have provided a systematic approach to qualitative research (method). In this research, 548 selected propositions in the open coding process were extracted from the statements of the Supreme Leader of the Revolution, and by contemplating these propositions, 688 concepts or themes were obtained. A comparative study of these concepts revealed 101 categories. In axial coding, cognitive and perceptual categories, tendencies and emotions, and action and behavior were inferred from these categories as axial phenomena. And other categories, according to the type of their relationship with the central category, were formulated into causal, contextual, intervening factors, strategies and consequences.  And in the selective coding, the category of “political man at the level of the system and the revolution” as a central phenomenon has integrated all categories around it and thus a model of political guidance in the political thought of the Supreme Leader of the Revolution was developed.

In security research studies, conventional patterns of threat estimation for the analysis and prediction of threats surrounding Islamic republic of Iran are ineffective, due to neglecting the function of religious values, considering material elements exclusively and the lack of consideration of spiritual and divine factors. Hence, the main question of the study is that “what are the most basic components explaining the intrinsic and inherent characteristics of the Islamic republic of Iran, for the estimation of threats?”. The semiotic method was used to answer this question. The summary of this research is that as values penetrate from the level of behavior and social actions to the inner layers of emotions and beliefs, the security coefficient increases and the immunity forms against threats are formed and if the opposing signs of values penetrate from the outer layer to the heart and belief layers, provided that there are hostile intentions, geographic range, time sequence, social background, and change in the threat wave from the social level to the security level and weakness of management power, threat gets deeper and intensifies.
