Abstract Divine knowledge and issues related to it have been given a lot of attention in the legacy left by Shia imams (peace be upon them). One of the issues related to the attribute of divine knowledge is God's self-awareness. Among the narrations in which the self-awareness of God Almighty is discussed, the negative answer of Imam Reza (peace be upon him) to Imran Sabi regarding"Being aware of God's self in himself and with himself". It is a strange saying that the commentators have stated the difficulty of its meaning and have struggled to analyze its meaning, that three major approaches can be seen in analyzing this narration; (1) Some of them have considered Imran's question as a kind of consciousness, the proof of which requires a defect for God Almighty, and (2) others have considered it as the absolute meaning of consciousness, and based on the inherent application of God Almighty, the negation of its proof related to the negation of the obligation resulting from the proof of this attribute for Almighty God, and (3) some others have basically considered Imran's question unrelated to God Almighty's self-awareness. In this article, the analyzes based on the two recent approaches are examined.

The present article, with a historical, descriptive, analytical approach and documentary evidence, seeks to present a vivid picture of the functions of the political speech act of Da'bel al-Khaza'i, the poet of the Ahl al-Bayt, during his long life, especially in the era of Imam Reza (AS). The theoretical framework of the present article is the relationship between language and ideology in Peer Ansar's thought. Based on his thought, language gives meaning and direction to political action. Language is an important tool for political actors to realize the act of rebellion and revolution or stabilization. The findings of this article show that Dabell’s political poetry, in the form of satire and criticism of various caliphs, from the Umayyads to the Abbasids, and in the act of consolidation, in the form of praise and lamentation of the Ahl al-Bayt, and defense of their legitimacy, expressing the lamentations of the infallible and praising the descendants, especially the praise and lamentation of Imam Reza (a.s.), has made Da'bel famous in consolidating the Razavi culture with revolutionary action and preventing the dominance of the culture opposed to the Ahl al-Bayt. Dabell’s poetic language depicts the legitimacy-discourse of the Imamate, by depicting the legitimacy, competence, and oppression of the infallibles, ) (, and exposing the injustices, betrayals, inadequacies, and injustice and tyranny of the Abbasid rulers. Dabell’s revolutionary action is in such a way that Instead of a language full of mystery and obscurity, he targeted the countless audiences of the vast Muslim lands of his era by using clear and straightforward poems

Abstract The field of cultural economy, as an emerging and profitable area, can offer effective solutions for improving the financial performance of cultural organizations through systematic research. Astan Quds Razavi, despite having extensive capacities, has not yet fully utilized its potential in this domain. Moreover, the lack of specialized studies and the sensitive position of this institution highlight the necessity of a comprehensive research. The present study, employing thematic analysis and based on authoritative sources including the narrations from Uyoon Akhbar Al-Reza (AS), the statements of the Supreme Leader, macro-policies of Astan Quds Razavi, and theoretical literature, aims to identify the strategic dimensions and components of the cultural economy in Astan Quds Razavi and develop a policy-making model. Out of approximately 1,200 initial extracted themes, after screening and integration, 99 basic themes, 20 main themes, and 6 overarching themes were identified, including "efficiency, cost reduction, and revenue increase," "image and dignity of Astan Quds Razavi," "emphasis on synergy, coherence, and coordination," "strategic planning, foresight, rationality, and scientific awareness," "creativity and innovation," and "contextual conditions and operational environment." The resulting thematic network provides a foundation for formulating effective policies in the cultural economy of Astan Quds Razavi.

Abstract The Imami society of Razavi's era was dynamic and had all political, social and religious capacities. The semantic and didactic centrality of Imam Reza (PBUH) led to the formation of a special model of worldview, beliefs, behaviors and actions in this society, which can be called Razavi culture. In a number of hadiths of Imam Reza (PBUH), which are available in the hadith collections of Imams, from Al-Tawheed by Sheikh Sadouq to Musnad al-Reza (PBUH), theological topics can be studied under the headings of principles of Imamiyyah. Based on a library and descriptive-citation method, benefiting from the historical analysis of the period of Imam Reza (PBUH) and using the concepts of Bourdieu's capital theory, which defines the cultural demarcations within each society under the title of "social field", this research has shown that the theological hadiths of Imam Reza (PBUH) are part of the main frameworks of the social field of the Imamiyyah, which are used to build or stabilize the different aspects of the Shiite religious principles such as monotheism, prophet hood and Imamate; by explaining the concepts of faith, beliefs and religious foundations of Shiism, these hadiths cause differentiation, a reformist attempt to explain, or an approach of rejection against deviant beliefs, as well as confrontation with hostile approaches of other religions, when the process have the ability to be analytically matched with the concept of social fields in Bourdieu's capital theory. The social field of Imamiyyah in the Razavi era contributed to the consolidation of Shia belief as a dynamic belief-practice religion against the denial efforts of every competing social field, including Islamic and non-Islamic, and it was a part of the history of the survival of Imamiyyah culture.

Abstract God's afflictions and tests are among the inevitable issues of life. Prophets and divine saints, who are God's chosen ones, were not and are not removed from this absolute divine tradition. In the religion of Islam, the Messenger of God (PBUH) has been introduced to the text of the Qur'an, as well as the Ahl al-Bayt (PBUH) to the text of the Prophet (PBUH), as special models in religious education. "Imam" is an exemplary and perfect human being for the Shias, and he is a role model from every point of view and enjoys divine protection and infallibility. Therefore, if the followers adhere to their approach in similar cases, especially the personal, political and social problems of the imams (a.s.), they can learn from their leaders and implement them in their lives to achieve the desired perfection. The effort of this research is to provide a suitable model for dealing with problems and trials, while examining the life and method of the 8th Imam (a.s.) in facing personal trials and problems.
