According to Imam Khomeini's theory of two Fitrahs, the category of power can be divided into two paradigms of spiritual and material power. Naturally, there is a link between religion and power at different levels - spiritual, social and political. Imam Khomeini, in order to fight against the Pahlavi regime, started to revive the identity of Islamic resistance by relying on the spiritual power of religion. The alignment of Islamic ideology with the identity of resistance turned the spiritual power of religion into social power. Using the symbols and institutions of the Shia religion provided the most appropriate platform for the formation of revolutionary actions - not reactions - and elevated the social power of religion to political power.

among the types of power, only the spiritual power of religion which does not have a radical and domineering nature due to its alignment with human nature.
