In the social atmosphere of the constitutional period (the end of the Qajar era), the minbars of the clergymen had an important and prestigious position as a factor of social cohesion. In this research, by using “Bourdieu Theory”, the position of the preaching and speech has been analyzed and it has been studied by explaining concepts such as “field”, “capital”, “habits” and “action”. Using Bourdieu's field theory, we considered that “religious pulpit” had what characteristics, achievements and feedbacks in the constitutional period. Based on Bourdieu's theory, it is assumed that the pulpit has a wide field, with special habits of the religious beliefs of the people, in mobilizing the masses, demanding constitutionalism and the establishment of the parliament. The findings of this historical research show that during this period, the “minbar field” relatively enjoyed the triple levers of the field (independence, power and conflict over capital) and had an effective presence in most of the constitutional events, of course, it has also been damaged by the confrontation of some fields.
