In contemporary history of Iran two kinds of struggle have been commonplace; political-parliamentary struggle and armed struggle. However, both of them have been fruitless for a couple of reasons. Having created a novel method for struggle in 70s, Imam Khomeini (PBUH) could put an end to the kingdom of arrogant shahs. Therefore the current study tries to study Imam Khomeini's (PBUH) method for struggle with Pahlavid arrogant dynasty in the framework of soft power adopting religious teachings. In line with this, first cultural-religious elements creating soft power will be discussed and then having studied Imam Khomeini's (PBUH) measures to recreate soft power adopting religious-confessional paradigms, we will cover Imam Khomeini's (PBUH) strategies for struggle in his campaign against Pahlavi regime.

The primary question of this article is how Imam Khomeini's (PBUH) discourse has influenced recent developments in Islamic countries known as "Islamic awakening". The hypothesis of this research is that, with original Islamic as its base, Imam Khomeini's (PBUH) discourse has prepared the ground with intellectual inspirations and institutionalization of defense mentality as well as confronting domestic and foreign despotism among Muslim and Arab nations to resonate the screams of "Islamic awakening" in the region.

Political viability and the efforts to implement objectives of the political system are emphasized by Imam Khomeini (PBUH). About the political viability, he always emphasized the necessity to perform divine duties assigned to officials and different parts of the society. Dutifulness exerts a direct impact on political viability and components of its evaluation (goals, facilities and barriers). Although this theory applies positive points of other theories, the viability of Islamic system cant be assessed based on other competitive models such as citizen's satisfaction, success and system theory. The level of political viability directly depends on the level of faith in and loyalty toward divine duties. The increase in political viability will prove the correctness of Islamic ideology to meet the needs of the society and strengthening beliefs and society's more effort to perform divine duties.

The current study intends to explore what strategies global arrogance applies for people and the ruling system in order to implement its domination in cultural arena. Findings of an investigation of Imam Khomeini's (PBUH) thoughts in this field indicates that the global arrogance applies strategies such as cultural and ideological dependence, feeling of inferiority, destruction of national role models, dampening national identity, infiltration into educational and training centers, devaluation of values, using capabilities of naïve people for their own interests, fostering disruption and separation among people to maintain their cultural domination. These strategies are recognizable and debatable in two levels of people and the ruling system.

Having identified the position of intra-discourse elements of Imam Khomeini's thinking, this article tries to perceive intra-discourse elements of Islamic-Shiite identity within the Islamic revolution process. It also tries to understand how Imam Khomeini could create a kind of movement and political mobilization along his identity aspirations benefitting from Islamic sharia [Islamic Law] and events in socio-political life. In addition, some of these concepts which have played a role as pivotal concepts to explain Imam Khomeini's identity discourse will be studied.

The main question of this article is how Imam Khomeini (PBUH) domesticated modern political concepts. Grounded theory research method is a new method in political sciences. It begins with a question and through a few stages it presents the answer. For the first time the author intends to analyze Imam Khomeini's (PBUH) approach to tradition and modernism based on a new method not descriptive but rather explanatory. The resultant (finding) is a new model or theory that indicates an approach to sustain tradition in appearance and behavior in Imam Khomeini's (PBUH) method. The scope of the research is Imam Khomeini's (PBUH) speeches from 1945 to 1990. In this field only a sample of applied traditional and modern concepts has been studied.

Charismatic domination means loyalty of the masses to the leader's person. Charisma disrupts the continuity of political life, legitimate or illegitimate, destroys the institutions censures the current order and normal social pressures and calls to a new understanding of the relations among humans. The main inquiry of this article is as follows: is it possible to understand and analyze Imam Khomeini's charismatic power by the theory of charismatic authority or not? Imam Khomeini's personality made him charismatically prominent in the course of Islamic revolution of Iran. In fact, one of the primary factors in the victory of Islamic revolution of Iran has been having Imam Khomeini as its leader. Imam Khomeini applied all his resources and powers to mobilize people putting them vigorously before  Shah to disrupt his domination and establish an Islamic government. Imam Khomeini's personality manifests as a religious, political and revolutionary leader who carries the agony of the oppressed who is in fact the realization of people's aspirations leading them on a clear and right path. Analyzing the theory of charismatic authority (Weber) this article also analyzes sources and aspects of Imam Khomeini's charismatic power and studies these two analyses in a comparative format at the end.

In Imam Khomeini's theoretical views and his practical lifestyle, public supervision is completely corresponding with the important faridha [compulsory act by Islamic law] of commanding the good and forbidding the bad. Referring to Islamic sources, he considers public supervision and this faridha as a public responsibility and tremendously emphasizes on it. The reason why Imam Khomeini paid special attention to public supervision can be the complete relation between the supervision and the fundamental faridha of commanding the good and forbidding the bad.Another outstanding reason was the importance he believed for people's role and participation in all affairs including participation in the administration of the country and the necessity of people's cooperation in and supervision of these affairs. He did not even exclude himself and the highest ranking person in the Islamic ruling from this supervision. He asked for people's supervision on him and all the country's officials. From early days of the victory of the revolution he insisted on the establishment of an independent and supra governmental organization for commanding the good and forbidding the bad all over the country. His overall opinion in this field implies that commanding the good and forbidding the bad and the development of the sense of responsibility and the expansion of public supervision, plays a pivotal role in the implementation of the shari'a (Islamic law), the progress of the Islamic society and the increase of efficiency of religious democracy model. Having in mind the complete relation between public supervision and public responsibility and the faridha of commanding the good and forbidding the bad we can optimize, consolidate and accelerate the process of social and political reforms of the Islamic society and system according to Islamic teachings and Imam Khomeini's ideas and remove possible barriers and pitfalls presenting a successful and democratic model for social and political system with maximum civil and political participation.
