Abstract

Religion is one of the oldest and the most role playing foundation in human societies, especially in Iran, which has gone through various stages throughout history. Religious life contains a special position in the doctrine of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and encompasses one of the main current concerns in the future of religion in the post-Corona world. This study tries to consider the changes occurring in the religious life of Iranian society caused by the Corona pandemic in the world. This is an analytical-descriptive research. The events and changes which have taken place in Iranian society at this era have resulted in new and different alternative in the field of religion. These changes will lead the religious life of the Iranian society through a path directed to  outcomes that are going to happen in the possible scenarios in the future of the religious life in the post-Corona community. The suggestion of changing the religious life paradigm by increasing religious rationality, as well as developing religious rituals will protect the social religious life against the challenges and crises, and we can expect a reasonable and stable religious life in Iranian society.
