The security of any country depends primarily on the strength of its military forces. If safety is established at the borders, it will be possible to create the necessary security in other areas. On the other hand, according to experts, since the Iranian Islamic Revolution (1979) was involved in an imposed an unequal war, the non-revolutionary military knowledge in this war did not last more than three months. Instead, it affected other factors in this issue and the victory of the Islamic Revolution armed forces, referred to as "Non-Physical Factors of Combat Ability." The main question is, 'what are these factors', and 'what function did they play in creating the Islamic Revolution armed forces' combat ability?' The present study aimed, with descriptive-analytical and content analysis method based on library resources, to answer the above question and explain the non-physical components are affecting the combat ability of the Islamic Revolution armed forces by emphasizing Imam Sajjad's (a.s.) view in the twenty-seventh prayer of Sahifa Sajjadiah and the study of their function in creating the fighting power of these forces. Based on the research conducted, the mentioned factors are faith and will, knowledge and insight, prudence and solution, empathy and compassion, patience and perseverance, occult help, and martyrdom.

The holy Quran has put “calling people to do good deeds” [or calling people to an act of benevolence] besides and prior to “commanding rightand forbidding wrong”, [or commanding beneficence and forbidding maleficence]. However in many interpretive and jurisprudential books, no sufficient effort has been made to elaborate the difference features between these two and their results, whose  manifestation is observed in indifference attitude  of legislative system to determine the limits, terms and qualities of ‘ call people to do good deeds”, despite the emphasize of the Eight Principle of the Constitution. Exploring the mentioned sources, this paper is an attempt to deal with the concept, dimensions and examples of “call people to do good deeds” such as propagation, teaching and advice which both have originally a basic role in cultural policy-making and institutionalization in the country and also due to paving ground for the fulfillment of “commanding rightand forbidding wrong” is of great significance. Then, it will clarify the distinctive points between these two hypotheses, so that the way to determine  the base and policy  will be cemented for the institutions with common functions (such as IRIB and supervising institutions such as Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution) or specific of one of these two ( such as Law Enforcement and Assembly of Experts). Moreover, it will help with the preparation of grounds for the next researches on basic and performance pathological study of these institutions and policy-making on this issue as well.

Divine laws have provided recommendations for various aspects of human life, including his nutrition. Among these directives are the commands of God regarding the permissibility (Ḥalāl) and prohibition (Ḥarām) of consuming animal meat. According to the individual and social interests of humans, considering the benefits and harms of animal meat for human body and soul, God has deemed the consumption of animal meat as permissible or forbidden. The present study aims to analyze the rulings on the permissibility and prohibition of consuming meat of certain animals in Judaism and Islam through a comparative-analytical method. The findings of this study reveal significant similarities between Islam and Judaism regarding the regulations concerning animals, including the prohibition of consuming non-slaughtered animal meat, the prohibition of consuming many insects, reptiles, and mammals. However, differences exist in areas such as consuming blood pudding and combining meat with dairy products. Generally, Jewish laws are strict, while Islamic laws are lenient and moderate, not burdening individuals beyond their capacity.

Objective: Islam, with its focus on the sacred text and divine revelation of the Holy Quran, continues to expand as a leading school of thought in the world today. The source of the transformation in Quranic studies in the contemporary world was the Islamic Revolution in Iran, which was initiated by Imam Khomeini in the 1970s and drastically altered the course of Quranic studies worldwide in an unprecedented manner. The present study aims to answer the question of how the position of the Quran is analyzed within the Islamic Republic of Iran's system and what special services the Islamic Republic's institutions provide for the sanctity of the Holy Quran.Method: This was developed based on descriptive-analytical research methods and library documentation.Results: The Holy Quran serves as the foundation for the thoughts and perspectives of Imam Khomeini, and his dynamic interpretation and revolutionary view of the Holy Quran are clearly manifested in numerous levels and sectors of the structures of the Islamic Revolution system of Iran.Conclusions: A comparative look at Islamic republics around the world shows that the Islamic Republic of Iran, in formulating its constitution, made the most use of the Holy Quran and the narrations of the Ahl al-Bayt in various social, political, and familial aspects, establishing public, promotional, and specialized institutions at the highest levels of government to expound and implement Quranic teachings.

The theology of health is a nascent field that emerged from Western academia a few decades ago and has since entered the Islamic and Eastern worlds. While this area of knowledge primarily focuses on the relationship between religion and the various dimensions of human health, it has deep roots in celestial religions and is not confined to contemporary research. A historical review spanning many centuries reveals a widespread belief in the strong connection between religion and human well-being, as well as the use of religious guidance to seek healing from illnesses. Moreover, healing was often considered one of the roles and duties of religious scholars, and in their view, recovery was dependent on supernatural forces. This study provides a brief historical account of the interaction between the three religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—and the dimensions of health from their beginnings to the present. The aim is to make the legacy of the past accessible to contemporaries and to serve as a guide for deeper, future research. Using a descriptive-analytical method and drawing on library resources, this study demonstrates that the theology of health in the Abrahamic religions shared a relatively common historical background. Religious guidance was used to maintain and improve health, and religious figures were engaged in healing matters. However, this connection was severed during the Renaissance and was only re-established in the last half-century.
