Today, the reappraisal of the topic of the objective and historical basis of "Islamic civilization" in the discourse and literature of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s revolution has become a scientific concern. This study tries to respond to a part of this problem by using the approach of futurology and resting on the method of "exploring the historical horizon" of the Islamic Republic of Iran. In the history of every nation, identifying the horizons contributes to considering and determining the future of the nation. In the conflict between the active approach and passive approach to the phenomenon of the appearance of Imam Mahdi, the Islamic Republic of Iran opted for the active approach that led to the historical development of its nation and the outbreak of the Islamic Revolution. Showing perseverance and raising self-awareness of this historical futurology, Islamic revolution could outline its version as a ground-preparing civilization by determining its bright future i.e. continuous evolution which paves the way for the appearance of Imam Mahdi.

Every revolution, before its victory or after transformation into a political system, passes through different stages. Scholars who are interested in this field of study have proposed different views on this issue. One of the important views is Crane Brinton's theory which is called the theory of themidor or cycle of revolution, because he has tried to give a similar idea about other revolutions through the conclusion he has reached after analyzing four great revolutions in the world. Using a descriptive-analytical method and analyzing Brinton's theory in the light of his works, the present paper tries to criticize and evaluate this theory and point out its defect in analyzing the events of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, especially with regard to the developments that took place after the victory of Islamic Revolution, by conforming it to the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The Islamic Republic of Iran was formed on the basis of doctrines of Islam emphasizing on such components as culture and political values, an event which distinguished the nature of Islamic Revolution and the system of the Islamic Republic of Iran from that of other systems. Such components as culture, political values and ideals of foreign policy are mentioned in the early conceptualization of soft power. Accordingly, the components of soft power introduced by Islam are different from the ones proposed by Joseph Nye in the early conceptualization of this power. This difference lies in the way power, man, ethics, and God are perceived. The sources of Islamic soft power are based on such values as self-sacrifice, martyrdom-seeking, spiritualism, justice- orientation, guardianship-centeredness, truth-orientation, and independence-seeking in such a way that this power has not only caused internal cultural change but also have influenced the external process of religious self-confidence and Islamic awakening.
