Abstract

Background and Aim: Ontological and epistemological foundations in the field of self-sacrifice and martyrdom
culture are referred to the collection of Islamic knowledge that are used to determine the aims, principles, areas,
stages, factors, obstacles, and methods of sacrifice and martyrdom culture which are explained and investigated in
the field of nature of being, the reason for being, and the purpose of being.
Methods: This study was performed by the library study method and searching related keywords in Persian and
English databases, and the main topics were extracted and categorized.
Results: Among the most important foundations of the ontology of the social system of the Holy Qur’an, the
principle of monotheism, purposefulness, being hierarchical, the existence of mutual relations in the universe, and
obedience of the legislative system to the developmental system can be mentioned, and the summary findings can
be the main basis of the values of the self-sacrifice and martyrdom culture.
Conclusion: The main basis of these values in Islam is the three principles of monotheism, justice, and resurrection.
Self-sacrifice and martyrdom are formed through the Islamic values established in society, and until Islamic values
and axes are not dominant in society, it is not possible to expect the formation of a self-sacrifice and martyrdom
culture in society.

Keywords: Self-Sacrifice, Martyrdom, Culture, Culture of Self-Sacrifice and Martyrdom.
