Explaining the issue of Influence in the light of Relativity; Emphasis on the views of Allamah Tabatabai

Regarding the Islamic Revolution, one of the most fundamental dangers, and also, one of the potential strategic opportunities and capacities facing Islamic Iran, is the issue of influence. Given this importance and the need to know the theoretical underpinnings of the problem of influence, the present article tries to answer the question that: “How is the issue of influence explained based on the theory of relativity of Allamah Tabatabai?” The findings of this study show that influence is in fact the same employment that originates from the self-love and the interest-seeking nature of man. According to this intrinsic ordinance, the “followers of self-Excellence and blissfulness” always seek to influence state and guided ruler (positive influence), and on the contrary, the “followers of selfishness and egocentrism” have constantly sought to infiltrate state and misguided exploitative ruler (negative influence). In the meantime, the condition for the success of the discourse of Islamic Revolution is considered to be the intelligent management of its positive influence and the creation of an anti-influence fence against the negative influence of the enemies.
