Fariba Rezazadeh, Alireza Farsinejad

Abstract As a tradition with a special status in the Islamic culture, debate entails certain principles and basics which must be learnt and observed for being successful in this issue. These principles can be divided into two scientific and ethical classes: scientific principles refer to those skills and sciences with which a debater needs to be provided before starting a debate; as these skills and sciences may help him/her to embark on an effective and successful debate. However, being provided with merely the necessary knowledge and meeting the technical requirements are not enough to be successful in a debate; and the ethics also need to be respected by the debater for being able to affect the opposing party or presumably the audience.
This study has tried to elicit and analyze the most practical scientific and ethical principles used by Imam Ridha (AS) in his debates while acknowledging the necessity of observing the scientific and ethical principles in a debate and in response to the question that is there any suitable model to pursue in this regard?.
In this regard and with the aim of proposing a practical model, the most important principles that the eighth Shiite Imam (AS) used to observe comprising of three scientific principles, including using the best form of disputation, taking advantage of rational demonstration and avoiding fallacy, as well as three ethical principles, including treating people politely, avoiding criticizing people’s personality and avoiding militancy and prejudice, are explained here.

Abstract Lifestyle is a collection of behaviors and action patterns of people which cover the normative and semantic dimensions of one’s social life. Since religious teachings affect the formation and establishment of social beliefs, values and norms, it can be said that the recognized behavioral patterns in a social group are considerably influenced by the religious teachings and role models introduced by the religion. The apparent manifestation of the lifestyle can be sought in the realm of social relations; for Islam, the best behavioral pattern is the lifestyle of the Holy Prophet of Islam (PBUH) and his Ahl al-Bayt. In this view, regarding his special social status, both the behavior and speeches of Imam Ridha (AS) are investigated by this paper. Imam Ridha’s (AS) era has been given more attention because of its influence on Iranians’ life and also due to the fact that the Holy Shrine of Imam Ridha (AS) is located in Iran; hence, benchmarking his lifestyle would be hugely beneficial thanks to the existing spiritual connection. Using the desk study and analytical-descriptive methods, this paper tries to answer the question that how Imam Ridha (AS) used to act in adornment, cooperation, moralization, cultural interaction in the theoretical and practical spheres?
