Abstract

Development in science is one of the critical indicators of being a developed or developing country. According to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei’s speeches, this event is so much important that cultural sovereignty will be achieved as a result of economic power which in turn is due to scientific development. Also Islam emphasizes scientific orientation, teaching and scientific life and it believes that scientific approach leads to religious stability and makes human beings more immune from mistakes.
Furthermore, scientific achievement is important for being independent and keeping Islamic identity. Moreover it is necessary for a desirable future and leads to development in all its aspects. In other words, a country which has scientific development can influence international communication and interactions and can get grand ideals and real values. Scientific achievements can also make a country independent, and bring liveliness and honor to our life.
In this research we are going to answer this question: What is the Supreme Leadership’s thought about scientific system? Thus the Supreme Leader’s speeches have been analyzed with Grounded Theory strategy. At the end we refer to two conceptual models of scientific system.
