During the last two centuries, the invasion of modernism to the Islamic world has been a chief issue which has caused different reactions. (History) However, the ambiguity in the bilateral relationship of social movements and Western modernity (Problem) has not been studied in the framework of identity and adaptation. (Background) However, the frameworks in which these movements operate and purposes which they wish to achieve (Question) have been controversial issues among thinkers. This paper presumes that Islamic movements have always looked for two fundamental concepts of "finding identity" and "adaptation" in a cultural setting. (Hypothesis) Therefore, these kinds of movements can be studies in a cultural framework and in the form of the two concepts of "finding identity" and "adaptation". (Objective) It is obvious that such studies can only be done in a descriptive-analytical atmosphere. (Methodology)
Recovering the concept of "self" by referring to local and religious values in the framework of the "process" of finding identity as well as "efficiency" of Islamic societies in the framework of the "project" of adaptation are the common grounds of Islamic social movements specially in Sunni world.

In the long-standing philosophical and social thinking, justice-seeking ideal has always had a prominent place, (History) but this ideal in both ontological and normative narratives is faced with paradox; (Problem) a problem which has not been systematically challenged yet. (History) The main question of the present article is: what is the answer of the Islaic Revolution to justice-seeking ideal in two ontological and normative narrations? (Question) Modelling the ideal of social justice in the Islamic Revolution of Iran simultanously implies two dimensions of individual actualization and social conformity. (Hypothesis) The present paper, along with investigating the paradox of these two narrations, seeks to present a model of social justice which is comatible with the words of the founder of the Islamic Revolution and the Constitution of the Islamic Republic. (Objective)
The article uses historical and text-oriented hermeneutic methods in studying the formation of communities and institutions in the post-revolutionary period and thinking about the general policies of economic, social, and cultural development programs. (Methodology) The implication of the ideal of social justice of the Islamic Revolutionary of Iran on two ontological and normative narrationssimultanously on two dimensions of social conformity and individual actualization and the comformity of this concept with distributive justice in the sense of equal opportunities, decreasing class distance and fulfilling basic needs of deprived people in the society are among the findings of the present article.

In the perspective of West contemporary political philosophy, political and legal systems based on divine permission, with a background of ignoring the human spontaneity and autonomy are compatible with heteronomy of human will, and are untenable and unlawful. (History) The impact of this view has made the relationship between autonomy and the will of divine permission ambiguous, and it tries to give legitimacy to autonomous wills as the sole criterion of law and legality of juridical and political institutions! (Problem) So, recognition and analysis of the principle of autonomous will and its manifestation in Western democracy with benchmark of Islamic political thought is essential as a forgotten matter. (Background) Therefore, the main question of study is whether there is a relationship between autonomous will and its manifestation in democracy in the West and Islam? (Question) To answer this question, one could examine the possibility of Sophistic relativism, especially in influencing and directing the wills and domination of error principle over all West epistemic systems, and its non-compatibility with divine permission in accepting the self-imposed will in political aspects (Hypothesis), to provide a clear picture of this principle in contemporary rival schools (Objective) using the documentary-analytical method. Islam's avoidance from heteronomy of human will and its emphasis on the principle of non-compatibility between the autonomy of the will and absolute human self-regulating legislation, and on the autonomous will based on insight and knowledge are among the achievements of this article.

ISIS is a new Takfiri group which is derived from al-Qaeda (History) and due to being new, it has remained unknown and because of the way it treats its surrounding phenomena like Syria, Iraq, and Iran, it has become even more ambiguous! (Problem) It should be mentioned that a lot of analyses have been done in order to know ISIS; however, most of them are journalistic and more importantly none of them uses SWOT model in its scientific analysis. (History) Therefore, the main question is this: How can the strategies of getting out of the crisis of political conduct of ISIS-Iran be presented based on the SWOT model? (Question) It seems that the method of reciprocal conduct of ISIS-Iran follows a lot of internal and external categories. (Hypothesis) Therefore, the present paper aims at achieving the political conduct of the two and presenting strategies to get out of the present crisis between them. (Objective) The SWOT model, which is based on the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in two internal and external dimensions, helps the article in testing its hypothesis and reaching its goal. (Methodology)
Using the SWOT model in analyzing ISIS-Iran, combining and measuring the impacts of SWOT components regarding ISIS-Iran and presenting several strategies based on them, showing the inability of SWOT model in analyzing Eastern phenomena, and presenting several new models in analyzing political phenomena based on SWOT are the new points of this article.

Several solutions have been so far planned and performed in the realm of diplomacy in order to solve the crisis of Palestine; however, none of them have led to the solution of this crisis. Leaving Gaza, peace, and formation of an independent Palestinian government with limited sovereignty are among such attempts. (History) In the present article, by using theories of futures study in the framework of Peter Schwartz's theory, the impact of the proposed viewpoint of the Supreme Leader (i.e. referendum and arming the West Bank) on the future of the Zionist Regime is investigated. The question is: What is the impact of the Supreme Leader's viewpoint on the future of Israel? (Question) Population growth and return of Palestinians change the balance of population to the benefit of Palestinians and armed Intifadah in the West Bank will be the main security threats of Israel in the coming decades. (Hypothesis)
Presenting these two strategic viewpoints by the Supreme Leader aims at protecting the oppressed nation of Palestine against Western and Arab plans which are presented in order to recognize and maintain the security and survival of the Zionist Regime. (Objective) By using the scenario method, the present paper investigates the impact of the viewpoint of the Supreme Leader on the survival or collapse of Israel and fulfillment of the rights of Palestinians. (Methodology) These two futuristic viewpoints can be regarded as the main reasons of hastening the collapse of the Zionist Regime. (Finding)

Method in social sciences is very important because theorizing and producing knowledge is not possible without it. (History) But various ontological and epistemological positions have resulted in different orientations in methodology; thus the local (Islamic) theory of international relations requires a special methodology that in addition to being scientific can be used in its formulation; (Problem) a requirement which has stopped with description, explanation and enumeration of limitations of different non-indigenous methodologies. (Background) In this article we try to answer this question: Which methodology is more useful in formulation of Islamic theory in international relations? (Question) The authors believe that because Lakatos methodology is consistent with the principles of Islamic theory and prepares the possibility of modifying the theory, it is the best methodology for the formulation of the Islamic theory in international relations. (Hypothesis) Therefore, presenting a special methodology which facilitates access to the Islamic theory in international relations is the aim of the present paper. (Objective) Achieving this goal is possible through describing and explaining library data. (Methodology)
The authors believe that a theory which will be formed under the name of Islamic theory of international relations, although it is not an independent, scientific, and unique theory; however, by taking the dimensions of a generalizable methodology can maintain its own theoretical identity and have a pervasive and reliable nature.
