Abstract
Objective: This article examines the concept of being revolutionary and revolutionary spirit from the perspective of the Supreme Leader (from conceptualization to measurability) and considers the identification of revolutionary indicators and their knowledge as essential for understanding the identity opportunities and challenges influenced by the process of globalization and how to confront them. The main question of this research is to identify the components and elements of revolutionary spirit in the Iranian Islamic society. 
Method: This research employs a mixed-methods approach with an exploratory design. The statistical population includes experts from the academic community, as well as faculty and staff from educational fields. To collect data, a researcher-made interview and questionnaire were utilized, and descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. 
Results: The results of this research indicate that an analysis of 35 speeches by the Supreme Leader revealed 23 themes related to revolutionary spirit. The main components of revolutionary spirit from the perspective of the Supreme Leader include: safeguarding the Islamic Revolution, moving towards spirituality, advocating for Islam, identity formation and enhancement, and learning from the Imam and his teachings.
Conclusion: Based on the research findings and utilizing the derived model, it can be concluded that efforts should be made to strengthen the revolutionary spirit and maintain it among the youth, internalizing authentic revolutionary, religious, and Islamic values through cultural development, reforming the process of transferring values and norms to the new generation, and introducing spiritual and moral role models and icons.
