Examining Doctrinal Strategies to Counter the Promotion of Western Lifestyles through Ayatollah Khamenei's Quranic Perspective

An Islamic lifestyle is fundamentally rooted in a proper understanding of Quranic and narrational commandments and their practical implementation in daily life. In contrast, Western efforts aim to reshape this cultural framework by promoting their own preferred models. Ayatollah Khamenei identifies the principles of a righteous social life as inherently distinct from those of the West, defining the Islamic lifestyle as adherence to proper social norms and values derived from the Quran, the traditions of the Prophet (PBUH), and the teachings of the Imams (AS). This article explores monotheistic strategies within the Supreme Leader’s thought to pave the way for a new Islamic civilization and secure both worldly and eternal well-being. The research findings categorize these strategies into various dimensions, focusing on reforming monotheistic perspectives and attitudes in individual and societal contexts. These include aspects such as religious understanding, spirituality, eschatological awareness, role modeling, emphasis on religious rituals, supplication, enjoining good and forbidding evil, marriage, and hijab. The study employs a qualitative approach, incorporating discourse analysis, grounded theory, and content analysis, with its scope covering selected oral (audio-visual) works of the Supreme Leader from 1989 to 2023.
