Abstract

The sacred and philosophical aspects of Imam Hossein mourning have sometimes caused the forgetting of identity-making and effective roles in the relations of daily life. Due to this lack of attention to the earthly valuable dimensions such as Ashura and mourning for Imam Hossein, the Iranian-Islamic lifestyle has increasingly met its diverse needs with improved imported resources. However, traditions and rituals have semantic and inspiring aspects to feed lifestyles. Accordingly, the main question will be what objective and practical capacities are there in the mourning of Imam Hussein- as a human process - to lay the groundwork for the Iranian-Islamic lifestyle? This study aims to use the logic of objective and practical relationships within mourning, to introduce some relationships that make up a comprehensive lifestyle and outside the limits of a religious ritual. In this paper, the method of understanding phenomena will be based on phenomenological forms that follow the description of mourning phenomena based on the needs, experiences, and influences of the Shiite Muslim identifier in everyday life. Therefore, the form of phenomenology will be a personal matter and does not follow the transcendental pattern. In addition, the lived experiences and objective observations of the authors of the mourning ceremonies of Imam Hussein and the reflections of mourning in the narration of some written sources have also been considered. One of the results of this study will be the compilation of a list of consistent and positive propositions for an objective lifestyle and the construction of new relationships in everyday life.
