Annotation: This article analyzes the social and philosophical views of Ali Shariati. Shariati interpreted Islam not only as a system of religious beliefs, but also as a means of struggle for social justice and freedom. His ideas were formed under the influence of Western philosophy, in particular, existentialism and Marxism, and he tried to harmonize them with Islamic values. The article analyzes Shariati's principle of distinction between "true Islam" and "official Islam", his influence on the Iranian Islamic Revolution, and the relevance of his ideas today. Shariati's religious and social philosophy is aimed at changing society and protecting human rights, and it is still an important theoretical source for the present day.

Keywords: Ali Shariati, Islamic philosophy, social justice, revolution, true Islam, official Islam, Iranian Islamic Revolution, existentialism, Marxism, religious thought.
