The Initial Document of the Islamic-Iranian Model of Progress as the document of Iran's development and progress in the next decades has been inspired by the political, social, economic, cultural, scientific and Islamic theoretical principles in order to achieve the goals of development and progress. Since the success of any idea and program depends on the consistency of its ruling discourse with the dominant discourses and values of the society, the discourse analysis of this document as one of the qualitative methods helps transcending from text to meta-text and enable researchers to analyze and examine the dominant discourse of this document and determine its adaptation to the needs and desires of the community. Therefore, these questions arise that whether this document addresses all the applicable components of Islamism and the forming signifiers of the Islamic-Iranian progress discourse? And to some extend this document considers all values, traditions, cultures, norms, structures, tastes and desires of all people? This paper analyses the discourse of this document by using Lacla and Mouff’s discourse analysis method and determines and explains the profound religious relation of the document with the Islamic foundations by identifying the central signifier of the discourse of the document and defining the relevant peripheral signifiers in the form of Islamic discourse.
