Abstract

Divine traditions have a frequent and effective place in the analysis and political-social measures of Ayatollah Khamenei, and this study tries to explain the social functions of divine traditions through a descriptive-analytical and interpretive-inferential method of his words. Traditions in this article are divine rules and regulations governing the world and human beings, which appear in a formative and absolute form or in a legislative form and under the condition of the existence of human intention and action. Divine traditions are the methods by which Allah Almighty plans and administers the affairs of the world and man based on them. Just as there exists divine traditions and laws in the natural world, there are also laws and traditions in human societies that may not be understood by someone with a material eye, but they exist. The word "function" is a sociological term that is used in the meaning of effect and result. The function of the divine traditions and the results and effects that follow the traditions are both individual and social. This article seeks to express social functions. Realization of supervision, protection of values, realization of honor, strength and resistance, spirituality, rationality, justice, insight, awareness about enemie and realization of progress in society, etc. are among the most important social functions that can be extracted from the words of the Supreme Leader of Islamic Republic of Iran.
