        Religion is an integral part of society. Everybody has orders that are interpreted and analyzed according to different levels and categories of society. The society is in harmony with religion and seeks most of its needs from religious teachings. In this respect, sociology behaves in harmony with religion, that is, it does not consider sociological theories to be separate from religion. On the other hand, in the history of Iran (and most lands), we have a phenomenon called "mysticism". Although at first glance, it may seem that mysticism or Sufism has gone against the wishes of society and has anarchist theories; But by analyzing all mystical views in all categories of history, we can refute this claim and say that: mysticism (Sufism), religion and sociology have moved in the same direction.The findings of the present study, which was done by descriptive-analytical method using the tool of "content analysis", show that mystics such as Sanai Ghaznavi, Attar Neyshabouri, Rumi and their like-minded people have mystical theories that They can be studied under sociology.

        4 - Investigating the Functioning of "Social Conditions" in the Interpretation of Shi'a and Sunni commentators from the verse of Mavadat from the point of view of religious sociology
        Hasan Abassi Seyyed Mohammad Bager Hojati

        One of the required knowledge of the interpreter in understanding the Qur’an verses is the knowledge of the social conditions of the audience of the words and descendant situations. Social conditions can have dual functions of the age of descent and the interpreter's age. The interpreter's attention to the first function (social conditions of the age of descent) in the process of interpreting the verse of Mavadat is a necessity. Therefore, the author, by examining the social conditions of the most important Shia and Sunni interpretations, has concluded that interpretations of the first function have played the least role. However, the second function, with the prevailing social and political conditions of the caliphs in different periods, by forging the appropriate theological premises of the theologians and the practical actions of the caliphs and its politicians, led to the failure of most commentators to abide by the principle of neutrality and prevented them from paying attention to the first function of the element of social conditions, namely the social conditions of the age of descent and explanation of the verse of Mavadat.
