This research seeks to investigate ‘the analysis of Iranian-Islamic university idea in Iran’s higher education documents’ (Islamic university document, country’s comprehensive scientific document, twenty years perspective document, and the law of the fifth plan of development) in order to present an Islamic-Iranian university paradigm. As far as the nature of the data is concerned, this study is qualitative; and as far as the aim is concerned, it is a foundational research, as the data will be used to present a conceptual frame. In view of the essence, the aim and the questions of this study, the ‘conceptual analysis’ and ‘documentary analysis’ methods have been used here. The analytic population in this study consists of the available sources around the existent ideas regarding the university and also the higher education evolutionary documents of Islamic republic of Iran chosen purposefully and the achieved data have been analyzed continuously and deeply, simultaneously with data collection process as well. The findings show that the idea of university has two main dimensions of scientific and Islamic in the higher education evolutionary documents of Islamic republic of Iran, which is approximated to classical, contemporary and novel ideas respectively in the scientific dimension. In addition, while paying attention to science and technology progresses, it has tried to proceed in Islamic framework and culture in Islamic dimension. the findings of the study have been presented as a conceptual frame for Iranian-Islamic university. In surveying and analysis of the quadruple documents of higher education Islamic republic of Iran, we identified and named the following ideas: In Islamic University Document (2014), four special idea of this document have been identified under the titles of ‘science sanctity’, ’inner upbringing and refining’, ‘spiritual growth’, ‘Islamic revolution ideals’ and ‘family strengthening’. In Country’s Scientific Comprehensive Document (2011), two special ideas of this document have been identified under the titles of the ‘ideological and monotheism sovereignty of Islam’ and ‘the first grade in science and technology’. In the Twenty Years Perspective Document (2005), two special idea of this document have been identified under the titles of ‘safe, independent and powerful’, and ‘achieved to the first grade of economy, science and technology’. Finally in the Fifth-Plan of Development Law (2011), two special idea of this document have been identified under the titles of the ‘compilation and promotion of qualitative indices’ and ‘cooperating with seminary schools’. To put it in the nut shell, after surveying all of the higher education documents as well as the theories about university ideas, we have founded that the higher education evolutionary document idea around the Iranian-Islamic university is an idea retrieved from Islamic ideology in which classical and contemporary university viewpoints in various dimensions of education and research were covered; hence, Iranian universities need a rethinking and revision in their mission to be able to coordinate themselves to revolutionary missions in the documents.
