Sociology of religion

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."
