چکیده:
With a look at today's world and the expansion of emerging and sometimes unethical mysticisms, and the increasing tendency of humans towards them, it is said that we are living in an era of humanity's return to spirituality, or spirituality's return to human life. It is here that the cultural reserves and heritages of society come into play, acting like the defensive forces of the human body during an onslaught of disease. The customs and rituals related to the path of 'Futuvvat' and 'Chivalry' are among these spiritual and cultural reserves of Iran and Islam, which have emerged as a series of moral and spiritual teachings and a type of practical wisdom for the general public and have been effective during periods of stagnation. In this article, an attempt is made to introduce the system of chivalry by delving into the texts of the 'Chivalrous' and 'Futuvvat-namas' (books of chivalry), and also by examining the traditions left behind by them, such as the ethics and behavior of the Zurkhaneh and heroism; this system, by possessing specific moral and instructional principles, has always advocated authentic human and moral values such as 'equality', 'brotherhood', 'health', 'justice', etc., and these very moral principles and foundations can serve as a suitable model for society.

If we look into this path and its customs—which still remain in Zurkhaneh sports—we find that Futuwwa possesses moral and epistemological principles and authentic human values, which have always encouraged values such as "manliness," "magnanimity," "nobility," "self-sacrifice" and "forgiveness," "justice," "faithfulness to promises," "chastity," and "health.
In technical terms, Futuwwa refers to a specific way, custom, and rite that has had followers among Iranians for centuries, even before Islam, and specific social institutions have emerged to support and promote it (Louisen, 1384, p.
" The tradition of chivalry, alongside Sufism, has been fully prevalent in Iran for centuries and, among the common people, has been the most effective means for the survival of the Iranian national spirit and uprising against foreigners and oppressors (ibid.
Moral Principles of Futuwwa As a moral and social tradition, the rite of Futuwwa and chivalry has always possessed a specific series of beliefs and moral principles, the adherence to which was a necessity for the chivalrous, and in the Futuwwat-namehs, these moral principles were attributed to and derived from the great figures of Islam.
It was through the observance of these principles among the chivalrous that the tradition of chivalry became a moral and social rite that placed great importance on social life and justice among humans.
This path, by possessing foundations such as spirituality and moral principles based on Islamic values, justice-seeking, and benevolence, has always been the focus of the Javanmards from the beginning.
