Abstract
In the phenomenological approach, they experience the principle of social action in a creative way, and this lived experience emerges in the consciousness of others in an inter-subjective way. 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.
