Abstract

In this article, an attempt has been made to analyze the mutual relationship between the three concepts of "culture", "religion" and "language", which are among the most vital issues in human social life. It aims at finding a cooperative relationship between these issues and how they deal with one another or finding interactions aiming at strengthening the dimensions of the other two sides of this triangle and the quality of this relationship.
It has been tried to answer the following questions: What is the affirmative relationship between culture, religion (Islam), and language? To what extent do they influence and affect one another? Is religion a part of a whole called culture or is culture in the realm of religion? Does the language determine the culture or vice versa the culture determines the language? What is the relationship between religion and language? Is language just a means that serves religion and religious ideology, i.e. a one-way relation, or it’s mutal and round way? In this article, the author has benefited from a library collection method and review of written sources, and in a descriptive analysis, he has explained the relationship of this trio and approaches towards his goal, which is the cooperative and parallel relationship of these issues in the society and in line with expanding each other's existential spheres and in general, serving the expansion of human civilization and culture.
