Abstract
Dr. Ali Sharīatī emerged on the intellectual horizon of Iran in the 1970’s as a
political activist. His political ideas are also considered as a forerunner for
the Islamic revolution for having strong resonance within the Iranian society
even now. This paper aims at shedding light by critically commenting on how
he transformed the political thought of the Iranian people, particularly the
youth, who brought about the Iranian revolution. Based on reviewing his
political thought in the Iranian context, it is concluded that Sharīatī declared
that the self aware academic should strive to achieve such a revolutionary
state where any form of imperialism, exploitation and capitalism find no
place. It would end poverty, develop the economy and set up a society that is
dynamic, just and classless.
