Abstract

The epidemic corona disease has surrounded worldwide for several mounts. However, in this short period of time, it has left very significant social, economic, political and even cultural impacts on all communities that affected by this disease. In this paper, it is tried to analyze the effect of corona disease on the religion in Iran, through qualitative and participatory observation method. Trend analysis of the corona's prevalence and observation of the actions of social agents showed that this disease has had significant effects on the socio-religious actions of agents, the political legitimacy of the government and cultural changes in the field of religion. According to strong interconnectedness of religion and politics in Iran, it can be said that the physiological and medical challenge of Covid 19 has led to a political-religious challenge for the government. Also despite the lack of security conditions based on the vital emergency, visible changes are taking place in the process of changing from religious beliefs to customary values.
