There have been many views on the Taj Mahal and its implications from the point of view of Islamic symbolism, which go beyond the monument built solely for the king's beloved wife, often by adapting its symbols to some of the concepts of the Qur'anic verses. He was given a parable of heaven on earth. Much has been said about its symbols based on Qur'anic concepts from the number of angles used in the building to the garden area and the current climate, but most research has overlooked the Hindu symbols that, according to the present study, has been intentionally used in this mausoleum.

Mythological and then theological and philosophical ideas of Iranians throughout history have been effective on the structure of art and architecture and have become a special aesthetic language and the reflection of the evolution of these ideas and beliefs in various ways has been reflected in various forms of Iranian art. Symbol is one of the tools of knowledge and the oldest method of expression. One of the most widely used symbols in the mystical, cultural, artistic and literary manifestations in the Islamic era is the "Peacock" symbol, whose role in Iranian art dates back to pre-Islamic times. In connection with the nature of this symbol, the question arises as to how the interpretation of the role of the "peacock" from the mystical-Islamic point of view and Iranian literature is manifested in the Safavid buildings? To answer this central question, this study examines the role of the peacock in the front of the Imam Mosque, Chahar Bagh School, Hasht Behesht Palace, the holy shrine of Razavi, the shrine of Goharshad and Haroon Velayat Imam zadeh, which are all Safavid buildings (or had repairs in this period) and its connection with the theoretical wisdoms governing the space, in a two-way process, according to the objective documents in the building will be examined by citation-interpretation method. According to the findings, the Safavid era and the revival of mystical-religious meanings, caused cultural influences on the architecture of its time and the use of mystical meanings in Iran in the construction of buildings. Findings collected through comparison and content analysis in relation to the symbol and role of "peacock", from both literary and mystical-Islamic perspectives, can indicate the Inner attitude to the symbol of the peacock in Safavid buildings and the need for Imamate in the Shiite belief, guidance for the guided, destroyer of the devil, increase blessings and also symbolize the cosmic expansion of nature which is related to the category of divinity. At the same time, the discussion of intuitive mysticism (unity versus duality) and the mystical themes of the perfect man can also be traced and inferred in the implicit meanings of this symbol.

The basic tenets of Imam Khomeini's political thought should be ascertained from his approach to the concepts of religion and politics. In the other words, Iranian revolution as the first post-modern revolution of our time selected Islamic teachings as the Constitution. From this perspective can be introduced Iranian revolution as the French Revolution which its breeze, swept not only in France but the entire Christian world, in the other hand this revolution impacted the Islamic discourses and intellectual movements in both Sunni and Shiite and other freedom movement of the world. According this point of view, Imam Khomeini established the Islamic-democratic system despite all opposition by the so-called eastern and western block at that sensitive juncture of the history. Imam Khomeini also raised awareness and Islamic Awakening based on genuine teachings of Islam. Therefore it seems that, Imam was a role model for the whole nation and the whole Muslim world and his teachings should be acted upon and followed. Especially because he believed that Islam has represented a very civilized democratic system which guarantees various types of civil liberties and freedoms for all strata of the society. This article tries to show that Islamic Idealism, Islamic Renaissance & west conflict beside Islamic Symbolism are the most important factors in the Imam Khomeini political thought. From this perspective, survive strategy in the new age and in the form of a new Islamic civilization is the main discourse of Imam Khomeini. It also indicates that Imam Khomeini's discourse is a new way of living and life style faithfully in the contemporary world.

One of the issues in theory field of architecture especially in Islamic architecture which has been considered in academic assemblies in recent decades is the field of symbolism and its different approaches. Basically symbolism is one of the important features of Islamic architecture, to the extent that some scholars in Islamic architecture believe that symbolism is necessary to fulfill this kind of architecture. This article deals with the problem of what is symbol and generally sign in Islamic architecture and consequently, how the symbolism can be implemented in Islamic architecture.
The purpose of this article is explaining different approaches that Muslim architects used for symbolism in their works meanwhile with explaining the nature and characteristics of each of these approaches, lessons would be learned for future symbolism in Islamic architecture. To illustrate the problem of this article, a hybrid method consisting of logical-argumentation research and qualitative content analysis research is used meanwhile the method for gathering data in this research is documents studies. The theoretical foundation of this research is based on Islamic wisdom so the research results have enough competence for the application in Islamic architecture. According to these results, in addition to credit architectural landmarks, there are genetic signs which can be manifested in various architectural components such as geometry and form and symbolism in Islamic architecture requires attention to both these two types of signs.
Using these two types of signs, two main approaches are available for symbolism in Islamic architecture which is inductive and deductive symbolism. The first approach is based on sensory tools while the second one is often based on rational and intuitive tools. In this paper, meanwhile these approaches are explained, several examples will be presented for each of them.

Several ways has used for transmission of meaning especially metaphysical meaning in human culture and civilization during the history that symbolism is included. Symbolism has used in different fields such as wisdom and traditional arts and it has a history in Islamic civilization. We can find it in Suhrawardi’s illuminationist wisdom and Islamic mysticism widely. Because of Mulla sadra’s transcendental philosophy has had a significant place in Islamic philosophy, it’s deserve to consider that which cosmological foundations of this wisdom are appropriate to symbolism and can be a theoretical supporter for it. Cosmological foundations of Mulla sadra’s transcendental wisdom, For the existential approach, are totally appropriate and compatible with symbolism. These foundations incorporate platonic ideas, imaginal world, substantial motion and etc that each one expresses symbolism in a specific way. Then Cosmological foundations of Mulla sadra’s transcendental wisdom provide a framework that based on it symbolism will has a firm and intellectual basis and also make available a criteria to evaluate right and intellectual symbolism.

Symbolism is the method that’s used in two fields of existence and knowledge. In existence one thing consider as a symbol of a truth or meaning; and one of the important usage of symbolism in knowledge is expression and recognition metaphysical truth and meanings. Therefore, it has always been used in various religions and mystical schools. This way has a history in Islamic culture and civilization. We can find it in Suhrawardi’s illuminationist philosophical tradition and Islamic mysticism widely. Considering the effective position of Transcendental wisdom in Islamic wisdom this essay try to answer this questions that how’s the process of symbolism in knowledge in Mulla sadra’s thought? Is it possible to find a method for decoding and hermeneutic in Mulla sadra’s epistemology framework? Analyzing thoughts like imaginary perception, intuition, interpretation (Taa’wil), and self-knowledge, can aid us to access our aim. Therefore, the epistemology of Transcendental wisdom provide a framework in which the symbolism will be strong and rational and also prepare a criteria for evaluating and identifying correct and rational symbolism.

Symbolism in the field of metaphysics is a method that has always been considered and widely used in various religious and mystical and philosophical schools, as well as traditional arts such as Iranian Islamic art. Applying this method requires providing its own existential and epistemological foundations. Given that metaphysical symbolism is related to the realm of existence, and in Islamic wisdom, the originality of existence and the originality of essence are the two foundations that have been proposed in the field of ontology and each has its own supporters, so this study seeks to answer this question. Are these two bases compatible with symbolism? Which is preferable to the other and what are the reasons for this preference? Given that the basis of the originality of existence provides a deeper look at existence, and also the metaphysical symbolism is based on the gradiation and the hierarchy of existence, so it is consistent with the originality of existence and this is preferable to the originality of essence Provide symbolism theory.

The main question of this article is about socio-political symbolism in contemporary poetry and its impact on the developments of the Islamic Revolution. The scope of research is limited to two poets (Shamloo and Akhavan). Symbolism is a school of art that has created numerous works in poetry, literature and painting. Symbolism means the use of the word in a symbolic-metaphorical sense. Political symbolism generally and often grows in an atmosphere of political obstruction and creates a revolutionary public atmosphere. In the second Pahlavi oppression, symbolism peaked in poetry and eventually influenced revolutionary discourse. This study, by examining the symbolism in the poetry of Shamloo and the Brotherhood, has come to the conclusion that the emergence of aspects of revolutionary discourse is rooted in the same literary atmospheres that have prepared the general mentality of society for the storm of revolution. The qualitative research method was descriptive-analytical and the data collection method was library.

Symbolism is the most important way to explain mystical mysteries and to increase the range of mystical language from the world’s concrete phenomena to the unseen and inexpressible world. The alphabetic symbolism which is amongst the symbolic approaches is the artistic device commonly used by Iranian mystics to justify mystical thoughts. This study was an attempt to analyze the content of the most indicated Persian mythical poem collections, from a historical perspective. More clearly, this paper aimed at investigating the wise and mystical themes in Persian poem collections using mystics and hakims’ thoughts. The study also investigated how these lofty wise and mystical thoughts have been reflected through alphabetic symbolism in the poets’ poem collections. As a third purpose of the study, various alphabetic symbolisms used were classified into types based on their own unique characteristics. It was concluded that the intellectual bases of Iranian and Islamic wisdom and mysticism have their roots in the same system of beliefs and it is impossible to form a clear boundary between the two. This sameness of intellectual base can be clearly observed in the alphabetic symbolism used by Persian poets in their poem collections (Divans).

Islamic art patterns have both visual beauty and symbolic values. Islamic art with its sublime wisdom in its symbolization has lots of possibilities that the most important tool of it, is geometry, but between the Islamic decorative motifs, the animal patterns are less visible.

In Roshan Abad building, figures like fish and bird attract attention and it seems are designed based on special concepts. Thus, in the present study, it is tried to study the symbolism of decorative motifs based on Islamic wisdom. This study is descriptive-historical research and qualitatively analyzes the research information, direct observations, as well as library research are also used for data gathering. According to the results of the present study, it seems reflection of Shia and mystical ideas as symbols that insinuate to concepts like pontificate and guidance, is the most voucher in decorations of Roshan Abad building.
