Fadaiyan-e Islam

Fadaiyan-e Islam was a religious and political organization founded in Iran in the 1940s, primarily composed of conservative Muslim scholars and students. Its members aimed to defend Islamic principles and oppose Western influence and secular policies they believed threatened Islamic identity. They engaged in activities like activism, publications, and, at times, political violence to promote their vision of an Islamic state. The group played a significant role in shaping Iran’s political landscape during the mid-20th century, advocating for religious values in governance and society.
