        Hadith criticism and the sciences related to it have always been sources of different thoughts and opinions. One of the influential scholars in the field of Hadith in the contemporary age is Rashid Reza. Having a general belief in religious narratives and sayings, he provided us with criticism that goes beyond the well-known Moslem experts' criticisms of Hadith (religious leaders' sayings). Lack of Hadith scribing in the early centuries after Prophet Mohammad, spread of paraphrases for religious sayings, devising sayings (which are not quoted from the Prophet and Imams) and emphasis on textual criticism to distinguish true narratives from untrue, are some of the topics worthy of attention in his thought. Many scholars might consider Rashid Reza a Salafi scientist and one of those who belong to the Al-Quranioon. This is true but his view of the Hadith can be a taken as a balance between the Al-Quranioon's perspective and the dominant popular viewpoint towards Hadith. This article attempts at investigating Rashid Reza's principles and opinions in Hadith criticism in addition to showing the origins and intellectual and social causes of such ideas.

        Ali Akbar Dehkhoda is a prominent researcher, journalist and writer of the constitutional period at the beginning of the solar century in Iran. Dehkhoda, better known as the great culture he founded, was a staunch fighter for the rights of the people and the defense of constitutionalism, and remained steadfast in his beliefs for the rest of his life. Dehkhoda's book "Nonsense", which was a collection of his humorous and courageous notes in the newspaper against government and court corruption, is still considered one of the most beautiful works of Persian humor. The purpose of this study is to explain the place of religion in the thought of Dehkhoda. The main question of the research is what was Ali Akbar Dehkhoda's view of religion? It is assumed that Dehkhoda was a religious person who had a stubborn enmity and hatred with ignorance, superstition, superstition and blind prejudices, so an attempt will be made to deal with religion in Dehkhoda's thought in a descriptive-analytical manner.
