The educational function of Hosseiniyahs in promoting and perpetuating the Shiite lifestyle (Case study: Hosseiniyahs of Kashan)

Many philosophers believe that lifestyle is fundamentally dependent on worldview and ideology. Thus, the emergence of a culture in the social dimension occurs when people's lifestyles are in line with common thinking. Using the concept of guardianship along with Islamic monotheism, the Shiite school offers a practical program for all individual and social aspects of Shiites. In this program, regardless of time and place, it creates a distinct identity. In the process of education, the theoretical foundations and individual and collective skills of the Shiite school are passed down from generation to generation. This study, while recognizing the role of education as a factor in promoting and perpetuating the Shiite lifestyle, expresses the importance of husseiniyahs as a place with the mentioned educational function and to prove the role of husseiniyahs in Kashan in the formation and continuation of Shiite lifestyle. The theoretical framework in this study is logical reasoning and the findings of logical reasoning research are shown in case studies. Finally, the indicators of Islamic lifestyle and education have been adapted to architectural features including function, form and relationship with natural and urban context.
