Religious assemblies are urban institutions and can be clearly distinguished from mourning processions formed in villages during periods of grief. These assemblies have distinct connections with other urban institutions, including the system of familial relations in Iranian cities, the bazaar, the clergy, and guilds, and function as a form of organization within the cultural institution. Researchers believe that the objectives and aspirations pursued by people through these assemblies, in their specific and original form, can be traced back to ancient Iranian religious and mythological ceremonies, aligning with the goals of those rituals, and have persisted in post-Islamic Iran. At times, mourning assemblies in Iranian society have evolved into structured social institutions, engaging in cultural, social, and occasionally economic and political activities. Therefore, given the large number of these assemblies and their role and significance in Iran’s political and social transformations—particularly during the Islamic Republic era—the researcher has been compelled to investigate the lifeworld of Iranian religious assemblies. The research method was survey-based, and data collection was conducted through a researcher-constructed questionnaire. Quantitative analyses and questionnaire results more precisely corroborated qualitative findings, indicating a direct relationship between individuals’ participation in mourning ceremonies and the lifeworld. Participation in mourning assemblies shows a positive, significant, and relatively high correlation with Iranian traditions among eulogists of the Ahl al-Bayt, suggesting that the more religious and assembly-oriented individuals are, the more traditional they tend to be, leaning toward Iranian-religious traditions, and their lifestyle reflects more traditional aspects. Ta’ziyeh is also one of the key elements in religious assemblies, having gradually developed throughout Iran’s history.
