Since the establishment of Qom Seminary, which has been about one hundred years, the Seminary has played an important role in social developments. These developments can be analyzed from a moral point of view. This article deals with the typology of these influences based on indicators such as the geography of influence, the sphere of influence, the audience affected by the Seminary, the result of the influence, as well as the time and date of the influence. This typology shows that in the period of one hundred years after the establishment of the seminary, both before the Islamic Revolution of Iran and after that, Qom seminary, with its moral influence, has been able to make significant improvements and changes in political-social struggles, public services, social benevolence and empathetic participations. After the revolution, at times like war, the seminary has always been a moral inspiration for the society in removing deprivations and rebuilding the country. This influence is beyond Iran and can be observed and surveyed in other countries as well.
