Abstract
Following the establishment of the Union of Islamic Student Associations in Europe and the United States–Canada in the mid-1960s, these associations placed the publication of Islam: The School of Struggle on their agenda as a means of disseminating their ideology and objectives. This periodical, which was among the most influential publications of Iranian Islamic student organizations abroad, was initially launched with the purpose of introducing the “true Islam” to Muslim students. Gradually, however, in response to the political developments in Iran during the reign of Mohammad Reza Shah, the journal transformed into an instrument of struggle for the Union of Islamic Student Associations, reacting to contemporary political events in Iran. Employing a historical research method based on description and analysis, this article seeks to examine how contemporary political and historical events of Iran were reflected in Islam: The School of Struggle, with particular attention to the thought and ideology of the authors of its articles. The findings indicate that the periodical emphasized the influential role of Islam and the clergy in the success of contemporary Iranian movements and revolutions, while portraying many of Mohammad Reza Shah’s policies and actions as attempts to eliminate Islam from society. Furthermore, the contributors to the journal, alongside their opposition to Mohammad Reza Shah, also paid special attention to the question of Palestine as one of the vital issues of the Islamic world.
