Abstract :
    Abstract In most Islamic countries, the beginning of renovation in early 19th century led to the reaction of religious powers and clergies who faced this issue and caused the islamic countries to have different responses and reactions against this problem and the ways of dealing with it. Normally, opponents and proponents were found in each of these countries who had a lot of similarities and dissimilarities with the stand of governors and clergies. By criticizing renovation as weternization, islamic countries attempted to rise against it and to creat their own native and special renovation. This study historically examines the attitudes of clergies (as executors of religion) toward renovation in Iran during the First Pahlavi Era. This study illustrates, based on barriers theory of Davis, how clergys’ organization stood against renovation and finally went along with it through the dialectic of renovation and religious barriers neutralization.
