Abstract Debate on the meaning of dialogue between two people has long been one of the best and most effective methods of promoting and representing the facts. Hence, the debate itself requires observing the customs and conditions that if properly done, it can have positive effects and lead us to prosperity. Since the purpose of the Imams, especially in the Raḍavi culture, is to guide the people, it is therefore for us to move as a guide in the same direction, and in order not to be involved in pests, we should use Raḍavi's culture in our discussions, because he was able to explain the legitimacy of Islam and Shiite teachings with constructive thinking in debates. Therefore, the question of this study is what are the manners of debate in Raḍavi culture and how can it be applied in the modern world? This research has been done in a descriptive-analytical method, using reliable sources and scientific explanation of data. The result of this research is that by studying Raḍavi debates, the indicators of the debate and its correct manner and conditions such as seeking and finding the truth, observing fairness, respecting and honoring the other party, tolerance and being gentle with the other party are obtained with which relying on Raḍavi culture, if the conditions and etiquette of debate are observed, it can be used in free-thinking seats.
