Abstract
This article has been done in order to examine the content of the speeches of the shrine in the decade of dignity. Its analysis is based on the three key dimensions of the Islamic revolution, religious culture and Razavi culture, using 59 lectures and a codebook. The method used in this study is content analysis. The findings show that 80% of the lectures are suitable for content analysis. The most lectures in Imam Khomeini’s portico were given by Mr. Mandegari and Mr. Aali with an average duration of 31 minutes. About 80% of the lectures were public and 20% were only for women. In general, the most attention is paid to the religious culture index with 69%, followed by the Islamic Revolution index with 19% and the Razavi culture index with 11%. The most repeated dimensions in the speeches of the Decade of Dignity are: Religious education from the perspective of Islam, dignity and freedom, the role of knowledge in pilgrimage, human dignity in the Qur’an, hypocrisy and hypocrites in Islam, forgiveness and altruism, mother’s position in education, kindness and behavioral kindness, the position of Haḍrat Masoumeh (as), knowledgeable kindness and love, the position of Imam’s descendants (Imam Zādegan), the model of not following the arrogant, compassion and Jihadi management, the relationship between religion and politics, interaction with the deprived, work and entrepreneurship in Islam, protection of Islamic unity, resistance economy, economic and constitutional way and Sheikh Fazlullah; Therefore, it has been concluded that the dispersion of the content of the lectures is high, and on the other hand, some speakers have also tried to develop the scope of their concepts. Some have given short and some long speeches.
