Abstract
Aim: 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.
Method: 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.
Findings: 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.
Conclusion: 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.
