Abstract
Logical discussion about Islamic principles began by the Quran itself and has always urged people to have faith with strong and firm reasons.  Similar to Imam Raza, who taught the principles of Islam to various sects and made them contemplate through discussions and debates. At the present time, due to emphasis upon the linguistic delicacies and multiple approaches to verbal analysis, the inner layers of speech are revealed better than the past. The present research is based on descriptive-analytical approach; based on using linguistics and discussion of discourse analysis. The operational explanation of this research is based on the ideological language features of Van  Dijk's ideological square, which plays an important role in the final analysis of the debate. Imam used language tools to influence his audience and persuaded them by neutralizing their own arguments against them. Meanwhile, the use of emphasis and the use of various types of nouns, including the proper nouns and irregular verbs and the Qur'anic intertextuality are significant in highlighting the main points of Imam's debate. This is to the extent that divergent answers to the questions of the subject, without the emphasis or proper use of words with weak meanings, have led to the marginalization of some concepts of the opponent.
