In this study, the question is posed that, what changes have happened in the political Ideology of the movement during its seven years combat (1294-1300 A. H.), and what was theaftermath of these changes. For this purpose, first the ideology of the movement, during the first years of combat, must be taken into consideration.

In the beginning of the movement, its Ideology consisted of combat against the Foreigners, the revival of the independence and the constitutional system. These elements resulted from the critical situation of the country in the World War I and the disorders caused by it.
