This study analyzes Davoud Feirahi’s interpretation of the Islamic Revolution of Iran and evaluates his attempt to rethink Shiite political jurisprudence through this historical experience. The Islamic Revolution is treated as a critical turning point in Shiite political thought that reactivated debates on the relationship between religion, state, and political power. Feirahi regards the revolution not merely as a political event, but as a historical opportunity to reconstruct political jurisprudence in response to the modern state and democratic requirements.

Using a qualitative method and content analysis of Feirahi’s writings and speeches, the research examines his intellectual foundations, methodological approach, and key concepts of state, governance, and power. It also explores his intradiscursive critiques of post-revolutionary Islamic political trends.The findings show that Feirahi distinguishes between religious texts, jurisprudential tradition, and the historical application of jurisprudence, understanding political jurisprudence as a historical and institutional form of knowledge capable of gradual evolution. He interprets the Islamic Revolution as a transition from a sultanic order to a republican one and as a foundation for religious democracy. At the same time, he warns against religious authoritarianism, the weakening of republican principles, and the erosion of legalism. Overall, the importance of Feirahi’s thought lies in opening new theoretical horizons for the critique and reform of evolutionary Shiite political jurisprudence, rather than in proposing a definitive model of Islamic governance.
