“Life after life” is on par with the story of Fatah Avini

According to Fars News Agency, Sajjad Saffarhandi, the director of the Islamic Culture and Art Research Institute of the Arts Center, provided tips on his personal page about the “Life After Life” program of the controversial program of the Chahar Sima network.

The series “Life after Life” with the performance of Abbas Mozoon is a special iftar program of 4 Sima channel, which is broadcast every day for one hour in heavenly moments close to Iftar. This program, which is at the top of the most watched Iftar programs of the TV channels, has attracted the attention of a wide range of audiences and experts due to the issue of temporary departure of the soul from the body. Clinical or temporary withdrawal of the soul from the body, pay.

The dissemination of these unique experiences, which has attracted the attention of a wide range of audiences, has led to a wide-ranging debate among scholars, often from a philosophical-theological point of view, and to the validity or inadmissibility of the publication of such experiences. . Now Sajjad Saffar Harandi Who is the director of the Research Institute of Islamic Culture and Art in the field of art, has provided tips about the “Life after Life” program on his personal page. Saffar Harandi holds a PhD in Cultural Sociology and has previously been the Director of the Social Studies Department at the Institute of Islamic Culture and Art.

His text reads: “During the two years that the program” Life After Life “has been broadcast on television during the month of Ramadan, I think I have seen parts of it in less than two fingers. I believe that the production of this program, and especially the widespread success of the audience, can be considered a civilizational event beyond a media event.

The path to the realization of the new Islamic civilization passes through the conquest of the body of the products of the existing civilization and the blowing of the spirit and meaning of religion in them. This acquisition is not done all at once, nor with pre-designed formulas and methods, which are gradually achieved through the creative action of the believing human beings and their trial and error. Thus, the matter of civilization can be identified not by perfection but by opening the horizon and being on the path.

If this is the case, in my opinion, as far as the field of media and visual arts is concerned, “life after life” should be considered along with “the story of the conquest” by Avini, “the watchman” and “the immigrant” by Hatami Kia, “the birth of a butterfly”. , “Far Far, Very Close” by Mirkarimi, “Mokhtarnameh” by Mirbagheri and the combined play “Sunny Night” by Behzadpour, are among the most serious and successful attempts to capture the essence of modern media art and employ it to achieve religious goals and conditions. Brought.

Friends who criticize the program say that these narratives have been validated from which test to find permission for the project in the media? What is the basis of the authority of these observations and dreams?

I guess the plan against al-Qaeda has frameworks to ensure the customary and rational assurance of the honesty and trustworthiness of the narrators. But if the question concerns the epistemological status of such experiences, it is fundamentally incorrect and disproportionate to the essence of the story. Our gifted friends have become so immersed in the classroom and school that they pursue their philosophical and epistemological concerns in the media space as well.

In “Life After Life” we are dealing with the observations of ordinary people whose honesty is ensured. But are these observations supposed to be the basis of your scientific knowledge of life after death? Girm, instead of ordinary people, you were on the side of Mr. Ghazi with the observations and revelations of Mullah Hosseinghli Hamedani and Asid Ali. Do those revelations have validity and authority in the scales of epistemological measurement except for the revelator? Are we going to swear by Hazrat Abbas except for these observations and experiences?

Do not confuse media work with science work.

Probably, the concern of the friends is that there should not be any experienced people who see in their observations an undesirable religious or political figure as an intercessor and a lawyer, and then Vavila! However, neither observing Ahl al-Bayt and Martyr Soleimani, etc. in such experiences can be a proof of the legitimacy of those nobles, nor seeing other people confirms such sects and religions. If someone is trying to prove the legitimacy and authenticity of this route, the address is wrong.

What is relevant here is a kind of reminder, through the creation of a spiritual experience, for today’s media audience.

“The audience that has been severely narrowed by the waves of secularization and atheism and the multiplicity of occupations of the determined world and the multiplicity of its connection with the transcendent realm of existence.”

“Life after Life” during the month of Ramadan will be broadcast every night at 18:30 on Channel 4, and its repeat will be broadcast at 23:40 on the same day and 12 days later.
