The present paper seeks to find discourses in Commander Suleimani's will and introduce the dominating one.

The paper uses van Dijk's model of discourse analysis method. The sample includes the whole text of Martyr Commander's will which is selected through targeted sampling.

Discourse-oriented structures existing in the phrases of Martyr Suleimani's last will show progressive ideology of Shia jurisprudence, that is, guardianship of jurisconsult. The most fundamental framework in the text of the will is strengthening the discourse of Islamic Revolution as the center of Islam's ideological developments and confrontations with its enemies in the twentieth century and increasing the legitimacy of Islamic Republic as the only political structure based on Shiite Islam in contemporary era.

It can be concluded that the most important and fundamental point and narration in the text of the will is the importance of preserving Islamic Republic as the associating factor of Islam. The authors refer to and explain the instances of the point, weaknesses, strengths, threats, and opportunities in order to emphasize that preserving Islam and Iran is contingent upon preserving Islamic Republic of Iran.

The present paper seeks to elaborate on the foundations and principles of school of Martyr Suleimani who is the model for Islamic world.

A library survey on Martyr Suleimani's biography, lectures, notes and last will as well as interviews with experts have been used as the method.

The findings show that deep-rooted belief in political Islam and guardianship of the jurisconsult, decisive will to establish the sovereignty of God's religion over the world, duteousness and duty performance, complete absorption in Revolution and revolutionary and jihadi orientation, spiritual conduct and avoiding sensuality and egoism, belief in men's dignity and hurry to help them, confronting the hegemony system, resourcefulness, belief in and rely on what we have, etc. are among the foundations and principles of Martyr Suleimani's school.

Suleimani's school is an inclusive and exclusive school resulted from Hajj Qasim Suleimani's meaningful, deliberate, indefatigable, full of faith and sincerity movement towards eminent and divine aims. It is now the turn of managers and authorities in the triple powers to adhere to Suleimani's school and pass difficult thoroughfares, using this great capital.

The present paper seeks to identify Martyr Suleimani's personality traits and find discoursive elements of his school from the viewpoints of prominent personalities of Resistance Axis.

The research method is a qualitative descriptive-analytical method which was conducted using critical discourse analysis through van Dijk's approach. The lectures delivered by six prominent leaders and personalities of Resistance Front after the unjust and innocent martyrdom of Commander Suleimani have been selected through targeted sampling. These leaders and personalities are as follows: 1.Ayatollah Khamenei; 2. Sayyid Hassan Nasrollah; 3. Bashar Assad; 4. Abdul-Malik Badreddin Al-Houthi; 5. Ismail Haniyeh; and 6. Falih Al-Fayyadh, chairman of the Popular Mobilization Forces.

The findings show that these personalities tried to inform the entire people of the world of the reasons for Martyr Suleimani's popularity among the oppressed nations of the region and the world as well as the reasons for the anger, hatred, and weakness of enemies of Resistance Front by both clarifying the greatness of his school as the only way to confront the enemies and explaining the profound elements and personality traits of Martyr Suleimani.

Contrary to Western Media that censored and undermined the martyrdom of Commander Suleimani, these personalities could show that we face Martyr Suleimani as a hero and elite who has natural and social excellent capacity and has taken measures and developed innovations which explain and distinguish his personality as superior to an individual and nearly equal to a unique school, by elaborating on his profound personality traits.

Personal indexes include God-oriented sincerity and devotion, having morals, brevity, the spirit of resistance, Guardianship-Centeredness, martyrdom-seeking, sacrifice, humbleness, living a simple life, charismatic personality, self-confidence, optimism, agility, high emotional intelligence, and proper behavioral organization. Social indexes include being a cross-border personality, having the spirit of sympathy, being popular, being free from any political wing, having the sense of humor, being accepted and respected in groups, having the skill of negotiation, and helping the needy.

It is necessary and important for Islamic society of Iran to recognize personality dimensions of great personalities like Martyr Suleimani, and those in charge should try to preserve these valuable traits and teach them to next generations of our beloved country. Producing relevant contents can provide other members of society with a proper and correct model.

The present paper seeks to answer two following questions. How can mass media promote the culture of sacrifice and resistance? What is the role of Martyr Suleimani's personality in making the culture of sacrifice and resistance in society?

The method of interview has been used to extract intended categories to answer these questions, which are conceptually ordered through description and analysis.

The findings show that the medium of television can have an effective role by emphasizing on such concepts as elevating general faith, representing the axis of resistance, unity- orientation, reproducing the literature of sacrifice and resistance, sanctifying the culture of sacrifice and resistance, sympathizing and encouraging human affections, introducing national and native personalities as heroes, and using rich Iranian customs and culture in TV movies and programs.

The paper concludes that the use of capabilities of eminent contemporary personalities like Martyr Suleimani, and providing and promoting his school can be influential and effective in culture making for all people particularly those who have not experienced the Holy Defense period in the second phase of revolution. However, informing and awakening people is among the most influential and practical functions of media to promote culture making in society.
