This paper deconstructs how religious musical eulogies, as the most important discursive practices of Shi’a rituals (Ghaffari 2019), were used as “war songs” serving to construct the Iranian national identity during the 1980–1988 Iraq-Iran war. These musical practices (in)formed the wider ideological and persuasive rhetoric of Iranians. In this paper, I analyse the textual and musical features of the audio-recorded versions of ten well-known war songs. The Discourse-Historical Approach (Reisigl and Wodak 2016) is used to analyse the discursive strategies and persuasive rhetorical tools within the lyrics. I draw on Machin (2010), Machin and Richardson (2012) and van Leeuwen (1999) to analyse various features of voice and the modality of sounds. This paper concludes that, by reflecting the power of religious discourse in the non-religious and highly nationalistic occasion of war, Iranian war songs were inspired by the religious eulogies in encouraging the Iranian nation to attend the war fronts.

本文解构了作为什叶派仪式（Ghaffari 2019）最重要的话语实践的宗教音乐颂词在 1980 年至 1988 年伊拉克 - 伊朗战争期间被用作构建伊朗民族身份的“战争歌曲”。这些音乐实践（in）形成了伊朗人更广泛的意识形态和有说服力的修辞。在本文中，我分析了十首著名战争歌曲的录音版本的文本和音乐特征。Discourse-Historical Approach (Reisigl and Wodak 2016) 用于分析歌词中的话语策略和说服修辞工具。我利用 Machin (2010)、Machin and Richardson (2012) 和 van Leeuwen (1999) 来分析语音的各种特征和声音的模态。这篇论文得出的结论是，
