Abstract Belief in God is the most common question of human mind, and the most fundamental nessesity of faith. In Islamic sources are given some reasons for the existence of God and also philosophers have discussed several arguments.
Imam Reza also has approved God`s existence in Marve`s debates with Omran Saby, Soleiman Marvazi, one of the Catholics, and a Zandigh man. In this article we have shown that Imam has referred to order, contingency, motion, probability and necessity, and truthfulness arguments. Even some of his reasons are able to be watched as different arguments.

Abstract In this study the versatility of Imam Reza and the prophets' combating higher ideals were pursued. All the prophets have fought against four principals: evil, ignorance, superstition, and injustice. This study found that Imam Reza's ways of pursued were precisely the same.
Enduring works in Publishing of religious books, denouncing the monarchy of Ma'mun and Haron and proposing solutions for releasing imprisoned Shiite believers, are Imam Reza's efforts against tyranny. He also struggled with Ma'mun in several other occasions such as: refusing to accept the crown and dictating sever terms in order to accept it; participating in debates and prayers(Fetr and asking for rain) while renouncing different statecrafts.
Imam's uncovering injustices of Harun and Ma'mun, efforts to release innocent Shiite prisoners, and dictating specific conditions in the term for accepting the crown were examples for his struggles against injustice.
Attending debates, establishing religious schools, and publishing Islamic books are among Imam Reza's efforts against ignorance and backwardness.
Presenting conceptual argumentations against Jesus deification and the prophet Mohammed's families' worship by some people(Ghalian) are among Imam Reza's fights against superstitions.
