The time of Imam Sajjad (AS) is one of the most difficult and glorious periods after the advent of Islam.

The main purpose of this study is to answer the important question of what was the soft power of Imam Sajjad (AS) in the prayers of Sahifa Sajjadieh and what methods did he use in this regard? In the present article, a descriptive-analytical method has been tried to study and analyze the principles and methods that Imam Sajjad (AS) has paid attention to and used in soft power. The findings of the research indicate that Imam Sajjad (AS) in the form of a soft weapon, ie "prayer", according to the principles and areas of the Islamic approach to soft power, have refined, promoted and strengthened the epistemological pillars of Islam.
