The distinction between "Religion" and "Religiosity culture and religious beliefs in the sensory and phenomenological perspective" has sociological significance and demonstrates a distinct pattern of sociology. The present study in the first section with critically approaches to the "Sociology of Religion" explains the inadequacy of its conceptual and perceptual organization in explaining sociological relationships of religion, with an emphasis on the inherently reductionist and methodological nature of this prevalent discipline. To this aim, the author explains that a "Correct understanding of religion - especially Islam - can be considered as a foundation that influences the existing understanding of sociology of religion" and examines the relationship between religion and society from a distinct perspective compared to the prevailing literature worldwide, highlighting the distinction of this approach compared to the intradisciplinary literature, which mainly involves an essentialist and fixed perception of religion and religious society in the dominant intellectual-religious traditions in the Islamic world. The author argues in this field with an "Ijtihadi" and "Intra-religious" approach about the combined and creative role of "Social Traditions of God" with "Faith and distinctive characteristics of Islamic spirituality" in constructing a new identity for society. By referring to the idea that "When people take steps towards God and the kingdomin a planned manner, they become closer to each other and a global community takes shape," it reaches a new level of religious and Islamic society. In fact, forming the institutions with common and distinct featuressuch as mosques, pilgrimage, and recently the Arbaeen of Imam Hussein (AS) in relation to the historical and glorious experience of the Islamic community in Medina shows that the Islamic society is a society established on justice and fairness, which follows its principles by creating sensitivity towards "Perceptive and Cognitive" levels, "Moral and Inclination" values, and "Behavioral and Action" aspects, within the framework of "Faith and Righteous Deeds."

Changes in the structure of the global single-polar system and the transition towards a multi-polar order highlight the new norms of the global order. It is clear that the dominance of the new normative order and the elements of the new structural meaning are primarily considering the decline of US hegemony and its redistribution among new poles. These conditions create more space for the expression of competing cultural ideologies. In such a space, there are ample opportunities for culturally and civilizational rich actors like Iran to emerge. The importance of this issue becomes more apparent when we realize that key players in the new structure, such as China, lack the high capacity to confront Western cultural-hegemonic dominance regarding the absence of modern software. In an era where the main characteristic is "Power Dispersion," some of the material shortcomings of the Islamic Republic of Iran can be remedied to play an effective role in the new era of cultural power vacuum, if attention is paid to its software capacities. Therefore, the main question of this research is formed by examining what software-based priorities for the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran towards the cultural Iran region suggest. In response to this question, with a descriptive-analytical approach by gathering a library of data, highlighting the coordinates of the new global order, and examining the coordinates of the cultural Iran region. The main recommendations of this new situation for the foreign policy of I.R.I in the cultural Iran region are explored. The results indicated that the framework of this software capacity can be explained in three dimensions: culture, values, and foreign policy. This capacity has gained a particular significance in connection with the concept of the Islamic Revolution and the opportunities it has created.

Divorce is an undeniable fact of personal and social life and it happens when the life together is unbearable for the couple. The present study was conducted with the aim of comparing differentiation of self, couple burnout and emotional intimacy in divorce-seeking and normal couples. This research is of comparative causal type. The statistical population of the research included all couples applying for divorce who referred to four counseling centers (Ehya, Khanevade, Negahe No and Hamrah) in Rasht and non-applicant couples living in Rasht in spring and summer of 2022. The investigated sample includes 150 people (75 from divorce-seeking couples and 75 from non-seeking couples) who were selected by convenience sampling method, and were evaluated using the differentiation of self-inventory (DSI), couple burnout measurement (CBM) and personal assessment of intimacy in relationships (PAIR). The data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance and independent t-test. The results showed that there is a significant difference between the two groups of divorce applicants and non-divorce applicants in all aspects of differentiation of self, couple burnout and emotional intimacy (P< 0.01). Also, the results of the independent t-test showed that there is a significant difference in the total score of differentiation of self, couple burnout and emotional intimacy between the two groups (P< 0.01) and the mean of differentiation of self and emotional intimacy in the group of couples who did not file for divorce and the mean couple burnout was higher in applicant couples. The results of this research showed that the low level of couple burnout as well as having more differentiation of self and intimacy between couples can provide health and stability in their lives.

In the Islamic school, there are examples and models that all their personal, social and political status is beyond time, place, race and culture. In this school, after the Prophet (PBUH) and the infallible Imams (PBUT), their prominent companions are among the best examples and role models. One of these companions is Miqdad bin Amr. He is one of the first Muslims who, in addition to his high status among the Sunnis, is also considered to be of high status among the Shiites. Despite the wide range of sources related to the personality of Miqdad bin Amr, the materials available about him are brief, scattered or limited to a specific time period, and some aspects of his personality have not been analyzed. Therefore, this article provides a linguistic analysis of his character as a role model by collecting relevant historical, and narrative sources and paying special attention to Miqdad’s personality traits and characteristics. This article uses a descriptive method based on qualitative and quantitative linguistic content analysis. The analysis of Miqdad’s character using the pattern of character classification in Islamic sources shows that Miqdad’s personality is described as chaste, calm, self-confident and clever in narrative, historical and Qur’ānic sources.
