Abstract
After the Islamic Revolution in 1979, Iran gained a special status on the global stage, which led to widespread attention to the concepts of “revolution” and “revolutionary” among thinkers, particularly in the field of education. The process of becoming revolutionary, maintaining this revolutionary state, and transferring this mindset to future generations are essential stages in achieving a fundamental change and transformation. Imam Khamenei has stated, “I am a revolutionary,” urging various segments of society to adhere to this revolutionary spirit. This research aims to clarify the faith-based objectives of revolutionary education in Imam Khamenei’s Quranic thoughts. Five intermediate goals are outlined in revolutionary education, which can be summarized as rational, faith-based, ethical, scientific, and practical. These goals can be categorized into three groups: faith in God, faith in others, and faith in oneself. Among the key faith-based goals in revolutionary education are: belief in monotheism, especially in the lordship of God; belief in divine promises, particularly divine assistance; belief in the ultimate victory of the forces of truth and the defeat of the forces of falsehood; belief in human dignity; and belief in the will and power of the people.
