Revolutionary ideals and the values derived from religious teachings, by passing through the ideological confrontations of the opposing currents in the early years of the victory of the revolution and growing in the light of Imam Khomeini's guidelines, established a coherent semantic system which is interpreted as the discourse of the Islamic Revolution. During the years after the victory, the conceptual limit and scope of the constituent elements of this discourse have been explained and updated with the guidance of Imam Khomeini and the Supreme Leader, with regard to the concept of Wilāyat-i-Faqīh as the discourse central signifier. In order to preserve the conceptual authenticity of the elements of the discourse of the Islamic Revolution, using the theory of Laclau and Mouffeh discourse, this study seeks to re-examine the concept of the signifiers of wilāyat-i muṭlaqi-yi faqīh, absolute guardianship of jurisprudent, economic justice, opposing the dominating system, preserving cultural values and protecting Muslim ummah, on the basis of Imam Khomeini and Ayatollah Khamenei`s thought. The obtained results have important implications of policies and approaches of politicians and political currents as having been and being remaining revolutionary in the past and future.
Keywords: Islamic Revolution, Imam Khomeini, Ayatollah Khamenei, Revolutionary Discourse, Conceptual Definition.
