        Minarets are one of the key elements of Islamic Architecture and especially in Iran there are valuable examples of them in the Razi style. After The spread of Islam, religious ideas have been influential in the construction and decoration of minarets and Used in the concepts of their inscriptions. In the meantime, the Quranic inscriptions on these minarets can be one of the important sources for understanding and examining the religious and belief views of people and architects as well as their function; a subject that has been paid less attention to in the Recognition and verification of architectural works function. The following study tries to investigate the concepts used in them, while identifying Quranic Ayah (verses), by examining the inscriptions of Razi style minarets in Iran. Also, the relationship between the concepts or themes of the Qur'anic verses in the inscriptions of the Razi style minarets and their function will be the main question of the upcoming research. In this study, in addition to identifying Razi style minarets and their classification, the main goal of the article is to analyze the themes of Quranic inscriptions to Recognition and verification their usage. The upcoming research tries to extract, categorize and analyze the most used concepts in these verses. These analyzes are important to read the Function of minarets. To achieve this goal, the Quranic inscriptions of Razi style minarets, which are mostly Seljuk, have been identified in the library and field studies, and some of the mentioned minarets have been visited to verify the text of the inscription. After documenting the inscriptions and identifying their verses, the texts of the verses were analyzed using the interpretation-analytical approach (content analysis). Based on the studies, the repetition of the concepts of "expressing the attributes of those who invite to God", "monotheism" and "expressing the attributes of God" in the verses of the minaret inscriptions is significant. As a result, the verses of these inscriptions mostly deal with the two general issues of "sign" and "guidance", according to which the function of the minaret can be considered as "Media and sign for guidance".

        Human has values that can play a role in the formation of Iranian Islamic house architecture. Ignoring the hidden values in the experiences of our past is becoming more visible every day. The question that was raised was: How are human values manifested in the architecture of Iranian Islamic houses? The purpose of the research was to identify the human values governing Iranian-Islamic houses, to explain the relationship between human values with the Iranian-Islamic lifestyle, and its manifestation in the architecture of the historical houses of Yazd City as the case studies. This research was qualitative and practical in terms of purpose, and it was conducted by combining logical reasoning methods, descriptive-analytical and historical studies, and based on library documents and sources. We analyzed human values based on Islamic culture in house architecture in 5 axes: human relationship with God - human relationship with self - human relationship with society and others - human relationship with nature - human relationship with history. After extracting Islamic teachings, 6 examples of historical houses in Yazd City were selected and analyzed in terms of Islamic teachings in the field of human values. The results of the study showed that human values in the form of respect for the elderly, guest rights, good neighborliness, avoidance of extravagance, hierarchy, etc., were manifested in the historical houses of Yazd city. Iranian-Islamic buildings are a dynamic collection that must be constantly evolving and adapt to the needs of the residents, Iranian-Islamic concepts, principles, and human values. Therefore, by extracting human values from the pure architecture of the past, updating and restoring it, and updating and spreading it, the architecture of contemporary houses can be shaped in sync with human values.
