Abstract Of the most prominent aspects of human life is how to make connections with the Creator of the existence, manner of speaking, manner of praying and pray before Divine court, and adjusting our relationships with God and other humans. Religious texts are the best platform to achieve these aspects. The present study aims to investigate the most important demands from God in Imam Reza's pilgrimage books based on Quranic teachings, with an analytical- descriptive approach and with emphasis on the correlation between Quran and Etrat. The results of this research show that a significant portion of Imam Reza (A.S)'s pilgrimage books includes fervent prayers and presenting needs to God. They contain enormous and subtle teachings, including asking for forgiveness and referring to God, increasing the aliment, getting accustomed to Divine ethics, standing among the ones grateful to Divine blessings, getting sacrificed for Imam's objectives, being present among Divine saints, loving Ahl al-Bayt (A.S), standing in the line of the witnesses (on Doomsday), salvation from difficulties and sadness, being defended by Ahl al-Bayt (A.S) (on Doomsday) and not being deprived of Divine endowment, all of which are a reflection of grand concepts of Quranic teachings.

Abstract After the demise of the holy prophet of Islam (p.b.u.h), the life-giving school of Islam encountered two macro interpretations and attitudes, i.e. the “Alavi” and “Omavi” ones, each of which that had its own specific characteristics and indexes in different social, political and cultural aspects and discussed under the title of “Malem al Modarestein”.
One of the features of Alavi school of thought which has not been tackled so far as it deserves and has allocated a vast part of the history of Islam to itself is the study and survey of the issue of miracle and miraculous feature of the holy Qur-an.
In this research, these features have been reviewed and analyzed from the viewpoint of Ali ibn Mousalreza (A.S.), the unique flag-bearer of formal encounter with the holders of ideas and religions.
Despite the ruling views of his age and famous standpoints focusing on literary and rhetoric features of the holy Qur-an, in addition to rhetoric and imageries and regular features, he has dealt with the knowledge feature, knowing the secrets and details of knowledge and lofty monotheistic and life-creating teachings of the Qur-an which have formed the philosophy of prophetic mission of all prophets and divine saints. Furthermore, he has introduced guidance and salvation of humanity as the secrets of the Qur-immortality.

Abstract The element of love is one of the lost things to the modern man, a loss to human societies. With developing the industrial life and human’s increasing preoccupations, spiritual and innate aspects of life are being neglected. The Razavi culture, which is the same culture of Quran and Itrat (Ahllul-Bayt), can fill in the gaps.
This article deals with the question that ‘what the dimensions of love in Razavi culture is’. Obviously, our main emphasis is on Theoretical and Practical Wisdom (hikmah) acquired from Razavi teachings, so that we can portray a monotheistic and loving relationship between human being and God, then with other creatures. With an analytical-descriptive method and library referencing way of collecting information, the article has a problem-centred approach to the issue.

Abstract An important goal sought by holy prophets and their successors was to establish good life or ideal society. Although the term "Utopia" meaning the Idealized City is not mentioned in the Holy Quran or any other narrative texts, this issue is deeply rooted in the prophets' teachings and many verses and narratives regarding the objective and quality of ideal life or Hayat-e-Tayeba lead us towards it. From Holy Quran's point of view and as mentioned in many narratives by the Infallibles (Masoumin), achieving an Ideal Society is not only possible, but the main goal sought by the prophets.
The main question proposed by this article is what the features of the Ideal Society in Razavi Culture are. Quran and Ahl-al-Bayt are the two legacies left by the Holy Prophet and Imam Reza (PBUH), as a member of the Prophet's family, inherits from holy prophets and previous Imams. Both theoretically and practically, they struggled to realize this goal. This article examines the most important features of the Ideal Society as expected in Razavi Culture which include: objectivity, justice, beneficence, rule of Imam, development of knowledge and economic growth.
