Two significant elements of Islamic civilization are spirituality and morality that Imam Khamenei (May his sublime shadow over Muslims’ heads endure forever) mentioned in the second step of Islamic Revolution. It is impossible to obtain spiritual and moral insights and to improve the people’s moral and spiritual morale in the society without a road map and operating model. In view of the short-term and long-term objectives of Islamic Revolution, one can divide its strategy into two primary and secondary phases. The primary and main strategy of Islamic system for promoting morality and spirituality in the Islamic society is to encourage public debates about spirituality. This strategy can be implemented by five steps: (1) and 2) by identifying and declaring values, (3) by transforming awareness into public knowledge, (4) by transforming knowledge into public conviction, (5) by transforming conviction into action. The secondary and minor strategies for promoting spirituality encompass measures such as reinforcing people’s religious footings through self-building, forming a cadre of spiritual professionals, and strengthening the educational system by drawing a comprehensive map of education. Finally, some proposals stemming from these strategies are put forward to attain the cultural and spiritual objectives of Islamic Revolution: asymmetric cultural war, the spiritual guidance of superiors, a practical model for original spirituality, continuous revolution, the removal of disorganizing factors, and highlighting spirituality concepts.
