Mehdi Bazargan and Ezzatollah Sahabi were among its founders.[2] Alongside Islamic Association of Students, the organization was active against outreach of Marxist ideology before Iranian Revolution[2] and was one of the professional bodies that served as a platform for religious activism, playing an important role in shaping the Islamic ideology of the revolution.[3] Ali Shariati was among occasional lecturers at the organization.[4] A number of leading members in the association held government portfolios during Interim Government of Iran.[5]
