        Cultural clash and identity conflicts are amongst the main effects of immigration. Cultural differences between the two countries cause cultural conflicts. Immigration may cause cultural and identity differences between parents and children. Sociologists have discussed their theories about the status of acculturation and the cultural gap of immigrants in the host society. Fiction provides a ground for representing the forms and consequences of various cultural conflicts of immigration. This paper, based on sociological theories on such concepts as integration, adaptation, assimilation, and separation, investigates the three stories of "Morgh-e Eshgh", "Bozorgrah" and "Che Kasi Bavar Mikonad, Rostam". In "Morgh-e Eshgh", the struggle between two generations leads to the endless resistance and confrontation between the first and second generation of immigrants which causes difficulties in their acculturation process. In "Bozorgrah", the immigrant who has been separated from the culture and identity of the motherland tries to join the host community by choosing assimilation and integration strategies; but the past doesn't leave him alone. He gets into a precarious and challenging situation regarding the two cultures where he must answer these questions: “does it worth to preserve the culture of the ancestors?" And “does it worth to maintain the relationships with other groups of immigrants?”. In the novel, "Che Kasi Bavar Mikonad Rostam", by choosing the assimilation strategy, the child does not follow her mother's behavior and shapes her behavior based on the values and norms of the host culture. The mother who is interested in the culture of the homeland without paying attention to the host society avoids interacting with the other-land or the other culture, and by choosing a separation strategy, raises the conflict between herself and her daughter.

        2 - Investigating the key role of cultural development in the progress of backward countries Development

        The form and path of development in most of the current backward countries of the world is unfortunately an incomplete sampling of advanced and developed countries, and sometimes the regulations are only translated from one language to another without any change. It is certain that the traditional culture of a backward third world country cannot accept the model made for the culture of others. The current research is in response to the question: What function and role can culture play in the progress of countries that are lagging behind in the development process? The hypothesis of the current research is that the progress and sustainable development of a society depends on the acculturation of the members of that society and until the cultural patterns of the countries agree with the development components, the development of these countries will not be possible. Efforts should be made to reform the culture of backward countries in line with the development components. The current research is descriptive-analytical. As a result, fundamental changes in the path of development for any society must be in harmony with the culture and traditions of that society, and all cultural factors should be helped for its correct implementation, otherwise the path of progress and development in these countries, even though it is excellent, is doomed to failure.

        The issue of emigration is one of the most important issues that played the most fundamental role in the formation of the Islamic government at the beginning of Islam and is extremely important, which on the one hand prevents the believers from submitting to the pressure and suffocation of the polytheists, and on the other hand is the factor of issuing Islam comes to the Arabian Peninsula. The emigrants refer to those who lived in Makkah and migrated to Madinah after becoming Muslim on the orders of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), and according to this, the emigrants, with their emigration, contributed to the promotion of Islam, as well as the spread of cultures, beliefs, values, beliefs and customs. New customs played a role and in this way they suffered many hardships. For this reason, the great Prophet of Islam (pbuh) paid special attention to the emigrants, because they put their material life and possessions at the service of his call, and with their emigration, they brought the voice of Islam to the ears of the world, and the Holy Qur'an was also transmitted from them to the world. Niki has mentioned that there are verses in the Holy Qur'an describing the characteristics of the immigrants, among them the salient characteristics of the immigrants: sincerity, patience, endurance and trust in God Almighty. Therefore, in this article, the cultural characteristics of immigrants and its reflection in the Qur'an and hadiths have been discussed, and the method of this research is a library. Attempts have been made to examine various cultural dimensions and the relationship between the status of immigrants and the impact of their presence in society. Manuscript profile
