Abstract

Islam is the most important factor of national unity and the power of Islamic-Iranian culture. Religious teachings, the portrait of the Innocents, their brave and constructive speeches and narratives are considered as the important theoretical foundations for enlightenment and opposing oppression in Persian stability literature.
In fact, Imam Reza’s debates with the great persons and scientists of various religions are among these theoretical themes. Accordingly, Imam Reza’s debates, which are based on stability culture, have had an influential impact on Persian literature creating reflections of stability in contemporary Razavi poetry.
The present study has been conducted in order to delineate stability reflections in Imam Reza’s debates and their representation in Safar Zadeh and Mousavi Garmaroudi’s poetry with a descriptive-analytic approach.  The results show that Imam Reza has taken the best and most efficient strategy to preserve the religious teachings and beliefs against the ignorance of the pretenders of different sects. Moreover, the findings indicate that reflections such as: intellectual movement against ignorance, bravery against deniers, free-thinking, justice, patience, protecting the underdog, martyrdom based on awareness-raising are among Imam Reza’s debate topics which have been represented in Razavi poetry of the above-mentioned poets.
