Ma`rifat

Abstract This article seeks to examine the text of Ashura supplication and to identify its monotheistic position by using the content analysis method. The main question is whether monotheism can be considered the main axis of Ashura supplication. For this purpose, in the first step, quantitative content analysis was used to draw graphs for measuring the frequency of words, topics and orientation. The results show that the most widely used word is the word "Allah" and the most important topic of this supplication is shedding light on monotheism. In the second step, through qualitative content analysis, 9 categories were identified, among which 4 main topics were determined in Ashura supplication: monotheism, imamology, religionology, enemyology. Therefore, based on the scientific method and the hierarchy of knowledge, monotheism was recognized as a central topic. Therefore, the position of unity (monotheism) and its levels including unity of the divine essence, unity of the divine attributes, unity of divine actions, and unity in worship were explained according to the text of Ashura supplication.
