Abstract

The Holy Shrine of Razavi is regarded as one of the most significant structures of the Shi’ah beleif. Therefore, by examining the works and inscriptions of this historical compound, it is conceivable to appreciate some of the concepts of the Shia religion. Exaggeration in religion is one of the most important threats that impend religion at any time mostly consisting of incorrect beliefs in this field. Superstitious beliefs and thoughts are among the most inappropriate religious beliefs. These beliefs can produce negative results in various fields related to religion. In the Islamic world, during the midst of the first century of Hijri, that is, in the duration of the caliphate of Hazrat Ali (PBUH), extravagant ideas or excesses in religious beliefs among Muslims emerged. In the following centuries, these beliefs not only did not disappear, but continued their way openly and secretly, until during the time of Sadiqin (PBUH), they turned into currents that systematically falsified hadiths and propagated beliefs. In the present research, carried out using descriptive and analytical method and relying on the data of library resources, it is strived to explain exaggeration from the point of view of the Holy Quran and the narrations of the Innocents, which sometimes causes methods such as examining documents and trusting famous sayings and books to be ineffective in their diagnosis. Then, by examining and analyzing three examples of important hadiths that have been used as proofs for Ghulat ideas, the way to discover the exaggerated beliefs by relying on the method emphasized by the Imams, the explanation and rejection of these ideas will be revealed. On the other hand, in the inscriptions of Imam Reza's shrine, some indicators of exaggeration and features contradicting it are evident.

Research aims:
1. Recognizing the signs of exaggeration in Islam and its causes.
2. Examining the issue of exaggeration in the hadiths and narrations of the inscriptions of the Holy Shrine of Imam Reza (PBUH).

Research questions:
1. What are the reasons for the emergence of exaggerated ideas in the Islamic society?
2. Has the issue of exaggeration been mentioned in the hadiths and narrations of the inscriptions of the shrine of Imam Reza (PBUH)?
