Abstract

Purpose and Background: The history of the party in the sense of population in Iran has a long history and the political party in a specific way and with the framework of conventional and new resistance of parties in Iran does not exceed about a century and dates back to the constitutional period or a little earlier. Throughout the history of Iranian political thought, clerics, especially since the Safavid era, have played a fundamental and important role in the political actions of the people. Method: The method used in this research is a combination of documentary and descriptive-analytical methods. This research is not based on political sociology and aims to study historical events and historiography, so not all historical cases are mentioned for the titles and only important evidence is used. The method of data collection is content analysis. Results: The victory of the Islamic Revolution opened a new chapter for the activities of groups, organizations and political parties; And witnessed the confrontation of different political factions and, in contrast, the unification of different groups around a common axis. The issue of the relationship between the clergy and the parties in charge of which the clergy are responsible has long been an important and challenging issue in the field of clergy. The small number of clerics who rushed to party-building or even to use the existing modern order before the revolution were also openly criticized and subjected to various accusations.
