The Islamic Republic is a system based on belief in:
     1) the One God (as stated in the phrase “there is no god except Allah”), His exclusive sovereignty and right to legislate, and the necessity of submission to His commands;
     2) Divine revelation and its fundamental role in setting forth the laws;
     3) the return to God in the Hereafter, and the constructive role of this belief in the course of man’s ascent towards God;
     4) the justice of God in creation and legislation;
     5) continuous leadership and perpetual guidance, and its fundamental role in ensuring the uninterrupted process of the revolution of Islam;
     6) the exalted dignity and value of man, and his freedom coupled with responsibility before God; in which equity, justice, political, economic, economic, social, and cultural independence, and national solidarity are secured by recourse to:
          a) continuous leadership of the holy persons, possessing necessary qualifications, exercised on the basis of the Koran and the Sunnah, upon all of whom be peace;
          b) sciences and arts and the most advanced results of human experience, together with the effort to advance them further;
          c) negation of all forms of oppression, both the infliction of and the submission to it, and of dominance, both its imposition and its acceptance.
