Abstract
Today is the era of human communication, and lack of attention to proper communication with others is the root of many cultural-social problems in the society. Paying attention to life style of Ahl al-bayt (PBUH) and following their behaviors and life styles can always guide us to a desired pattern, right life style and proper communication with others. Among the history of Shia’s changes, Imam Reza’s (PBUH) journey to Iran is undoubtedly one of the most important events. Although this journey took place due to Al-Ma'mun’s (Abbasid caliph) insistence, it actually led to good effects and consequences for Iran.
The present study tries to investigate the communication approach of Imam Reza (PBUH) from Medina to Marw through the analytical study of Berlo's model of human communication as a theorist in the field of communication. According to this model, four main characteristics of the communicator, i.e. communication skill, attitudes, knowledge, and cultural-social status are obvious in his behavior during this journey.
