Abstract

One of the most important functions of national narratives and epics is identity-making. Governments, as administrators of the social system, have always sought to gain legitimacy. National identity, religion, ideological beliefs and the use of collective wisdom are among the most important elements of legitimacy. Political powers have used elements of identity based on their approaches and social and cultural status. Sometimes these elements are in conflict with each other and the governments are forced to emphasize on some elements and deemphasize some elements. In the cultural history of Iran, various examples of these conflicts can be observed. One of the most important ways to use identity-making elements is to use beliefs that eventually become sacred ideological propositions. The study tried to show how non-Iranian governments, in order to legitimize themselves, have sought to weaken the elements of Iranian identity by constructing and consolidating some inconsistent and incompatible religious interpretations. These efforts, which have been carried out deliberately and with pre-determined goals, have gradually left a legacy of misinterpretations that have led to identity conflicts. Using one of the revelations of verse 6 of Surah Luqman, known as Lahv alHadith (الحدیث لهو, (it was tried to show how non-Iranian governments have tried to weaken the Iranian epic and ethnic narratives with incorrect interpretations and use this opportunity to expand power. This research also shows in which periods and by which methods the process of conflict with the elements of Iranian identity has been introduced to the Qur'anic interpretations as the sacred text of the Islamic world.
