With the emergence of the new subject of "social history and lifestyle" in the West and the East, Iranian writers and researchers also studied the social history of the Iranian people, which resulted in good works. The research topics in this area were clear to some extent and the researchers paid attention to some parts of this history focusing on the social life of people. The lack of this type of research in the field of social history and lifestyle of Ahl al-Bayt and Shiites was noticed by the students of the field, and using the structure of studies on social history and Islamic lifestyle, some treatises were compiled in this regard. The result of such studies led to the addition of four units of social history of Shiites to the curriculum of the specialized centers of the Qom seminary in the field of Shia history. In other educational and research institutions of religious sciences, special attention was paid to the course of social history at MA and PhD programs, and finally, in addition to expert training, the students of the Qom's seminary wrote books, articles or master's and doctoral theses with the title “The social history of the Shia” and took an effective step in introducing their customs, symbols, lifestyle, relationships and social systems.
