This study analyzes the discourse in the works of the Freedom Movement of Iran during the Islamic Revolution, drawing on James Paul Gee’s theory of discourse analysis. Employing a discourse-analytical approach, it examines these works through the seven questions in Gee’s framework. The findings indicate that, in relation to the first question, the authors foreground tawhid (divine unity), religious worship, the Day of Resurrection, and the widespread, nationwide character of the protests. Regarding the second question, they construct identities associated with worldly-minded individuals, teachers, educators, and military personnel. In relation to the third question, they explain the relationship between religious and modernist groups, as well as Ayatollah Taleghani’s relationship with and understanding of Imam Khomeini. Regarding the fourth question, they establish associations among beards, cloaks, and turbans, and draw connections between the Qur’anic surah Al-Nazi‘at (Those Who Pull Out) and the country’s political circumstances. In relation to the fifth question, they discuss the prophets’ goal-oriented actions, solidarity-oriented actions involving all segments of the nation, whether Shi‘i or non-Shi‘i, and living organisms’ interactions with their environments and the relationship of these interactions to evolution. Regarding the sixth question, the authors critically examine Islamic scholars’ and jurists’ arguments concerning the relationship between divine unity and science. They also criticize international institutions’ policy of silence and failure to address the protests in Iran. Finally, in relation to the seventh question, they privilege three discourses as appropriate: humanity’s primordial belief in a Creator, the emergence of a continuous internal and cultural revolution among the people, and the gradual evolution of living organisms.
