Abstract

Of the most prominent aspects of human life is how to make connections with the Creator of the existence, manner of speaking, manner of praying and pray before Divine court, and adjusting our relationships with God and other humans. Religious texts are the best platform to achieve these aspects. The present study aims to investigate the most important demands from God in Imam Reza's pilgrimage books based on Quranic teachings, with an analytical- descriptive approach and with emphasis on the correlation between Quran and Etrat. The results of this research show that a significant portion of Imam Reza (A.S)'s pilgrimage books includes fervent prayers and presenting needs to God. They contain enormous and subtle teachings, including asking for forgiveness and referring to God, increasing the aliment, getting accustomed to Divine ethics, standing among the ones grateful to Divine blessings, getting sacrificed for Imam's objectives, being present among Divine saints, loving Ahl al-Bayt (A.S), standing in the line of the witnesses (on Doomsday), salvation from difficulties and sadness, being defended by Ahl al-Bayt (A.S) (on Doomsday) and not being deprived of Divine endowment, all of which are a reflection of grand concepts of Quranic teachings.
