In the late Pahlavi period, the field of formal education in religious education textbooks faced extensive changes in terms of content, the main focus of which was to present a completely political image focused on establishing a state from Islam (religion). In addition to being different from the prevailing view of religion, this interpretation was also considered a serious threat to the regime; but the fundamental question is: Why was it allowed to appear in formal education? In this regard, the research findings based on documentary and library studies show that this reading was influenced by the movement and political thoughts of Imam Khomeini, and individuals such as Beheshti and Bahonar, who were imitators of the Imam and promoters of his thoughts, were able to create fundamental changes by being absorbed into the Council for the Compilation of Textbooks due to the regime's neglect of the power of the clergy and, on the other hand, the need the regime had for them in dealing with the communists, especially in the field of formal education.
