Abstract
The eulogists, as an influential group familiar with the school of Ahl al-Bayt (AS) (the Household of the Prophet), are obliged to express the principles of the Holy Quran and Ahl al-Bayt (AS) in anti-oppression for the people and thus spread the spirit of anti-oppression in the society. In this research, which has been done with a descriptive-analytical approach, we have first dealt with the principles of anti-oppression in the Qur'an, tradition and reason. Then, we have emphasized the role of the eulogists in informing the people about the oppression towards God and fighting against its examples such as polytheism, hypocrisy and illegitimate recourse. In the following, the role of the eulogists in creating enlightenment in the society in the fields of oppression of the people to the people, oppression of the people to themselves, oppression of the people to the ruler and oppression of the ruler to the people has been studied. The basic use of poetry as a tool of the eulogists in the fight against oppression from the beginning of Islam until now is another issue addressed in this research. We have also examined the essential role of the eulogists in three issues: 1. Spreading the spirit of struggle against the oppressive ruler in the society 2. Defeating the Pahlavi regime in the three stages of struggle 3. The holy defense and the defense of the holy shrines of Iraq and Syria in the attack of heterodox groups.
