Abstract

Martyrs were the most important social asset of our country and in the most critical moments of their voluntary presence have maintained the survival and independence of the country. Also, the martyred commanders who have led this social capital have left their valuable insights in their testaments. The purpose of this article is to explain the pattern of social capital based on the martyrs' testament. In the documentary review, testaments of martyred commanders included 36 testaments we try to qualitatively describe the content of the concepts. After coding the testaments and using the grounded theory approach, the social capital model was designed based on the testaments of martyred commanders in the Iran-Iraq war. In the Causal conditions, concepts such as Hope in God, Being purposeful, Defending the homeland, in the Advancing conditions, concepts such as The feeling of being indebted to the revolution, Negative propaganda of enemies, fighting enemies with the country and in the Deterrent conditions, Individualism, Inefficient communication and Not having a collective purpose, affect the choice of strategies. The phenomenon is voluntary presence and participation of people in the critical moments of the country. Strategies are also made up of Objective and subjective strategies. These strategies lead to Individual consequences like stillness, Spiritual and spiritual pleasure and Collective consequences such as the spread of Islamic culture in the world and Become a popular pattern for the world and It includes the freedom and support of the oppressed.
