Designing Scientific Jihadi Model from the Viewpoint of the Supreme Leader, Grand Ayatollah Khamenei (May His High Shadow Last)

Reviewing concepts such as science, knowledge, culture, Jihadi culture, scientific Jihad, and cultural Jihad in the speeches of the supreme leader from 1989 to 2015, the researchers intend to design and present a model for scientific Jihad from the viewpoint of the supreme leader through grounded theory strategy. Islamic benediction, spontaneity, youth orientation, scientific attempt, selflessness and investing on scientific fields constitute variables from which the structure of scientific Jihad is identified and explained. The central issue in this model includes culture, and paying serious attention to cultural considerations on scientific Jihad. As the supreme leader considers scientific Jihad as one of the greatest obligations, it implies that scientific movement and Jihad must be the grand strategy for all individuals of the society. All in all, generalization of the country’s scientific personality will be the result of consideration, priority, and preference of the strategies of scientific Jihad. On the other hand, ignoring these strategies will result in remaining subordinate, empty of initiation, shame of being secondhand learner forever, and generally scientific dependence.
