The Rationality of Taqiyyah in the Discourse of the Infallibles (a.s.)

Taqiyyah refers to the ability to adapt to and abide by heterogeneous life conditions (otherness, dissidence and living differently), which, due to onechr('39')s attachment to a particular religion, directs him / her to lead a way of life that is inconsistent with it. This policy is one of the strategic techniques of human beings in difficult situations, which benefits from rationality and utilitarian ethics and follows the method of forbearance against political and social impositions and diverse beliefs. According to the discourse model of the Infallibles (a.s.), this strategic policy creates a special lifestyle for religious believers in the domains of speech and behavior in pervasive individual and social spheres, so that they can follow a different lifestyle when disbelievers put them in dilemmas using their system of power and violence. This article has linked the idea of ​​taqiyyah in religious texts to the forbearance lifestyle of mediocre people and has attempted to explicate the idea of ​​taqiyyah in the discourse of the Infallibles (a.s.) using the analytical method and benefitting from rationality, utilitarian ethics and mediocrity.
