This research aims to understand the knowledge and understanding of the pilgrims' lived experience and how the phenomenon of pilgrimage is socially constructed and to understand the meaning of the pilgrimage experience by paying attention to the mental commonality among the pilgrims of the shrine of Imam Reza (AS) based on a phenomenological approach. The main technique used in this research is the interview, and an opportunity has been created for the pilgrim to explain his view of the world he has experienced using his own language and words. Interviews were conducted based on the conceptual model of Shujaizand religiosity with 5 male samples with different personality types and the following results were obtained: Pilgrimage has cognitive, emotional and practical dimensions. Pilgrims in the cognitive dimension seek to gain knowledge about the Imam and recognize the fact that the Imam is a mediator to reach his god; Therefore, they pay attention to the Imam's kindness towards them. In the emotional dimension, the pilgrimage brings a feeling of peace and humility through individual and collective worship in the shrine of Imam Reza (AS) and the observance of morals by the pilgrims as much as possible. In the practical aspect, pilgrims demonstrate their adherence and adherence to the law by performing certain rituals and paying attention to individual and collective tasks.

One of the most famous praises written addressed to the leader of Samen Al-Aemma (AS); It is an ode that Khaled Naqshbandi Shahrzuri, one of the famous literary and mystics of the twelfth century, wrote while visiting the holy Mashhad, which was widely accepted from the very beginning of its composition. In the present research, first a brief description of the poet's condition and works is presented, and then, using a descriptive-analytical method, based on the criteria of layered stylistics, the poem in question is classified under the five layers of phonetic, lexical, syntactic, rhetorical, and ideological. We have analyzed it and by determining the outstanding and consistent features, we have explained the style and visual links of the text with its content. Accordingly, in the phonetic layer, the prosody weight; in the lexical layer, words and religious compounds; In the syntactic layer, passive syntactic voice; In the rhetorical level, the questioning of negation and in the ideological level, the content based on fundamental religious concepts have played the greatest role in characterizing and highlighting the style of this ode.

This article examines the poems related to two oral rituals in Sheshtamad, Sabzevar, as Chavoshikhani and robayikhani.In the study of these poems, emphasis is placed on the poems of Imam Reza.The present research is based on the ethnographic method and inspired of the theoretical discussion of Victor Turner on ritual symbols. The poems of these rituals acts as ritual symbols, representing a semantic condensation. Congestion, which acts as a semantic spectrum, refers, on the one hand, to human emotions, and on the other hand, it is related to the potential and actual norms and orders of society. What is important in understanding this semantic spectrum is the attention to the non-separability of these two poles.

In the present study, after reinvestigating the history of accessing this work and explaining the reasons and evidences mentioned, as well as validating the criticisms of the opponents of this theory, and analyzing misleading and acceptable criticisms in an analytical-descriptive style, the certainty of citations proposition to prove the theory of the writing of Razavi Islamic Jurisprudence by Imam Reza (A.S.) has been critically rethought and it was concluded that resorting to these reasons and evidences to all facts affecting the analysis and understanding of the author's work have been neglected. On the other hand, excluding the handwriting of Imam Reza (A.S.) from this book, it is impossible to consider it as a unique work attributed to a single author.

Based on Islamic logic, Hijrat is a principle equivalent to Jihad, results and effects of which serve the achievement of Islam’s goals and ideals. So, we can analyze Imam Reza’s transfer from Medina to Merv and his living in Khorasan according to the theory of “Hijrat and Civilization-building”, given the results and the effects of his hijrat. Although Imam Reza’s short-term presence in Khorasan brought about a plentiful of blessings and good results for the city, the most important results of his Hijrat, among others, are reinforcing rational-oriented current, flourishing scientific and translation movements, developing the method of debates and expanding the geographical boundaries of Shiites. In addition, Mashhad, the City of Imam Reza, as the center of Khorasan’s civilization, and the Shrines of offspring of Imams have played a key role in promoting and stabilizing Shiite civilization in Iran.

This article organized on the basis of discourse analysis defines Imam Reza's confronting with these theological discourses. Studies indicate that in response to this question, Imam Reza did not say anything that abbasied politicians and their followers do not abuse in confirmation of their intellectual school. According to this, Imam Reza sometimes expressed his point of view indirectly and sometimes expressed directly to some of the companions. With this method, Imam Reza did not support Mu'tazili and abbasied politicians, and he kept people away from these useless issues and he drew people's attention to the more important aspects of the Holy Quran, such as guidance dimensions, and in this way he kept people especially his followers out of dangers.

This sensitivity is considered from some perspectives: political and social changes of Abbasside era (and particularly caliphate of Mamoon) on the one hand and acceptance of position of Imam Reza (PBUH) on the other hand. Study of political tradition of Imam Reza (PBUH) is conducted based on the fact that political tradition of innocent imams is not only historical reality but also contains valuable advices and principles for their followers. Main focus of this paper is interaction of Imam Reza (PBUH) with despotism (particularly during position of Imam Reza). Some historical issues were raised as introduction of discussion and for showing social and political condition and two periods before his position and after his position have been studied. Classification of changes into periods before position and after position of Imam Reza (PBUH) has clarified results of movement and conduct of Imam (PBUH). In period after his position, some probabilities and doubts of Imam Reza (PBUH) are discussed and political positions of Imam are mentioned. Conclusion Section mentions some results of this paper by mentioning some instances of Hazrat’s tradition and emphasizes that we should note that fighting against and opposing to the oppressive rulers based on fixed principles of Shiite teachings (absolute negation of ungodly government ) and considering time and space circumstances (cooperation with foe of God by observing some considerations ) can take different forms and this is exactly the thing which has been manifested in tradition of the household of the prophet of Islam. What has been clarified based on these teachings is that discontinuation of struggle and opposition has not been ordered and it is not permissible to compromise with the oppressors even under the hardest conditions despite different forms of opposition to oppressive rulers but form of struggle and expedient things should be considered.

What is less taken into account is the civilization-building nature of this migration. According to this approach, this migration, despite its exile-like nature hiding in disguise of claims by Bani Abbas tyrants that they want to glorify Ahl-al-Bayt and return them the rule, was in fact a move towards stabilizing Shiism in Iran and creating an Islamic and Shiite civilization in the country as well as a plan to expand this profound move to other Islamic countries and eventually creating an Islamic and Shiite rule and civilization all over the world. From the Shiite point of view, this concept has a profound connection with the issue of Absence, Expectation and Advent which eventually leads to a universal apocalyptic government. This article aims to analyze Imam Reza's migration to Iran as a civilization-building event following efforts and migrations by holy prophets and Imams from an apocalyptic point of view and underline its constructive nature for the Advent of Mahdi (PBUH).

Realization of their great mission vested in them by God is possible merely if people observe their rights and fulfill public duties. Getting familiar with Ahl-al-Bayt's rights as well as people's obligations towards them is an effective and constructive way to observe these obligations and fulfill the duties as well as to inform others and institutionalize the relation between Imams and people. Holy Quran and the Tradition (Sunnah) of Holy Prophet and Imams are great sources for getting familiar with Imams. This paper offers Imam Reza's viewpoint regarding Ahl-al-Bayt's rights on people based on Hadith sources through descriptive analytic method. Results illustrate a number of these duties and obligations which Muslims and Shiites need in order to have a desirable relation with Ahl-al-Bayt.

However, some including Mu'tazilite believes that Miracles are uniquely worked by prophets and Imamate does not include miracles. Given the importance of miracle working in Imamate discussions on one hand, and the fact that many miracles have been worked by Imams on the other hand, and considering Imam Reza's Imamate era and the miracles worked by him, this paper seeks to explore and analyze the principles and types of miracles by Imam Reza through Imamia narrative legacy. Among miracles by Imam Reza (PBUH) are: knowing the unknown, the occult and what's going to happen, knowing many languages as well as languages of animals, God's answering his prayers, healing, virtual travel from one place to another (tay al-arz), animals' acquaintance with him, his presence in some people's dreams with recommendations for them, access to natural treasures and knowing about people's daily actions.

The analysis of the interpretive narratives regarding Imam Reza indicates that these interpretive principles include undistortability of Quran, its miracles, its immortality, its conductive nature and science of recitations. Interpretive methods that the narratives suggest include: interpretation of a verse according to a comparable one, interpretation of verses according to interpretive narratives, interpretation through explanation of unfamiliar words, interpretation of a verse through the cause to its revelation, interpretation through specification of certain provisions, interpretation through designation of the addressee, interpretation by querying Quran, interpretation through expression of instances and examples, interpretation by defining the reasons to propositions, interpretation of a verse via companionship method, detailing Quran stories, explication of similar verses and adaptation of verses on external examples.

At one side human being habitude and familiarity is believing a matter after observing it, which has caused continuously demands for seeing God, and on the other side religious scripts has emphasized the inconceivability of this issue. Infiltration of false narrations which quoted the eyesight of Prophet Mohammad in the night of Meraj and seeing the Divinity by the believers in the day of resurrection in Sunni hadith references, created a context for Muslims to have credence on this issue until the era of Imam Reza and led to asking Imam about this issue. Imam as the true guardian of the Islam criticized this doubt by Quranic and rational logics. The author of this article in addition to discussing the opinions of Imami, Mu’tazilite and Ash’arites about the visibility of God, surveys about the principle narrations of Imam Reza on monotheism, including the conversation between Abu-Ghorah and Imam Reza on criticizing this issue.

On this basis, the present writing by using a new method in definition of welfare and related terms, has proved the favorability of economic welfare from the Qur’an and Razavi teachings’ perspective.

Choosing the spouse, probably, is one of the most important choices every one may make during his/her life, and getting divorce and breaking up the family is considered as one of the largest damages derived from a wrong choice. This paper is going to investigate the educative criteria of a congenial choice for forming and continuity of the successful family based on Razavi culture. It is a library research, and it has been organized by studying Razavi Traditions ( Ahadis-e- Razavi ). Trying to introduce a model of transcendent life style, this study, at the same time, inspired by Imam Reza's Traditions, aims at strengthening the foundation of the family. The Razavi culture is full of guidance which is studied by this study in two separate sections: educative criteria considering pre-marriage period which may result in a congenial choice and, consequently, forming a transcendent family, and educative criteria in the post-marriage era through which the transcendent family might be continuous.

For them, God would become angry the way men did. Negating anthropomorphism of God, Imam Reza defined attributes such as guile, ridicule, ruse, knowledge, etc in a way that they would not create any imperfection in God. Besides, a practical method is evident for proof of God in Razavi narratives. He also answered the question of secrecy and divine Ehtejab and ascribed it to human sins. Today in religious philosophy, discussions such as proof of God, language of religion and divine secrecy are among the most dynamic ones and various theories are presented about them. These indicate that taking into account the Prophet (PBUH) and Imams’ narratives including Razavi ones can provide grounds for more accurate presentation of theoretical beliefs in modern language.
