  As an expression of the ideas of “remembrance” and “prayer” in theKoran, the Friday prayer is primarily the manifestation of thecommunal worship of God. Surviving reports of the contents of thesermons by the Prophet, Imams, and the first four Caliphs during theFriday prayer, show these sermons to have occasionally includedsocial and political contents. However, in the course of the evolutionof these sermons, changes in their substance and significationtransformed them into discourses with completely political andgovernmental contents. The most important of these changes was arequirement to pray for the ruling Caliph by whomever delivered thesermon. As a result, the notion of "sermonizing in someone's name"was created and came to generally signify the legitimization of thatperson's rule. The imposition of purely political functionalities uponthe sermons that were delivered at Friday prayers, gradually erodedtheir sanctity in Islamic history. Manuscript profile

  The advancement of science in the mind of every fair person raises the question of how rain is accurately, scientifically and eloquently expressed in the Holy Book of the Qur'an and Nahj al-Balaghah. This means that these books, verses and speeches have described the natural elements according to the level of knowledge and understanding of the scientific subjects of their time. Therefore, in this study, the sciences in this sermon on rainfall and its request from the Creator of the universe have been studied by using the verses of the Qur'an and the interpretation of Imam Ali (as) in Sermon 115 of Nahj al-Balagheh.

  The reconstruction peroid is one of the important periods in the history of the Islamic Republlic of Iran. In this period، the framers of Iran’s foreing policy by adopting a pragmatice approach while adhering to revolutionary idealism had a constructive interaction with outside world. The adoption of this policy was for this reason that the public opinion which was under the influence of post-war conditions were not prepared to accept changes like the restoration of diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia. Therefore، there was a need to prepare the public opinion to accept these changes. Taking into consideration the above circumstances، what were the foreign policy changes during the reconstructin period and how Hashemi Rafsanjani as the then president made use of Friday prayers sermons to prepare the public opinion to accept these changes. The present article by a descriptive analytical method wants to examine the above issue. The finding of the study shows that the foreign policy of Iran underwent a fundamental change and Hashemi Rafsanjani made use of the Friday prayer tribune to prepare the public opinion for the above changes Manuscript profile

  Al-Wasīlah Sermon and al-Ṭālūtīyah Sermon are two famous long sermons attributed to Imam Ali (as) in the Book al-Kāfī, which despite the strangeness of their isnads, no research has been done on their validation and rooting. Therefore, the question of the article is to what extent do the isnads and textual evidences confirm the authenticity of the collection of these texts? According to the results of the research, the texts and isnāds of the main narrator of the two sermons, Mohammad ibn Ali ibn Maʿmar, have many strange things, and among other things, in these sermons, through unknown narrators, he narrates themes contrary to Sunni beliefs from the Sunni celebrities through the unknown narrators. In terms of language, both sermons contain late words from the first century. The inconsistency of the introduction of the account with the text of the sermon, the anachronism of the date of the sermon, the lack of connection and disconnection of many parts of the sermon are other problems of the al-Wasīlah Sermon, and to some extent it can be seen in the al-Ṭālūtīyah Sermon. The sermon texts are a combination of a collection narratives, only some of which were attributed to Imam Ali (as); the formation of the final structure of those two probably has a single root and it was around the lifetime of ibn Maʿmar.
