There is no other way to publicize and popularize religious preaching except the Internet – Mehr news agency Iran and world’s news
Mehr News Agency – Religion and Thought Group – Fatemeh Amber: Ever since the sun of the Islamic world rose from the horizon of the Arabian Peninsula and revived the dead body of humanity with its life-giving rays, the core of publishing and propagating the religion of Islam also gained meaning and meaning. Propagation of the religion of Islam is the most important task that burdens the shoulders of Muslims in general and missionaries in particular, and the Holy Qur’an, by recommending the invitation of people to God through the preaching of wisdom and good argument, considers it the best word, and by bringing the verse of people to warn and preach the religion, it is the goal. The final acquisition of religious knowledge is considered.
To propagate religion, it is not enough to feel responsibility and obligation; Rather, other things should be taken into consideration, which can be called the requirements of religion propagation. One of the reasons for the success of some missionaries in the propagation of religion, especially among the educated youth, is the attention to the points that we try to investigate and analyze during the conversation with religious missionaries and experts on the issue of their religious propagation. What you read next, the fifth part The requirements of religious propaganda In conversation with Hojjat al-Islam Mohammad Hadi Saleh breeder He is a member of the strategic council of Amir Bayan Institute:
Hojjat al-Islam Mohammad Hadi Saleh breeder In a conversation with Mehr Bayan, a member of the strategic council of Amir Bayan Institute said: The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution emphasized the horizon and position of the seminary, that the seminary must change, and one of the examples of this change is the evolution of tabligh in the virtual space. The requirement for the realization of the transformation of advertising in the virtual space is that, in the first place, the advertisement should come out of the private state and become public, that is, it should become popular advertising. like sports In sports, we have a professional and championship section and a general sport. We have no other way to publicize and popularize the advertisement except the Internet. It means Net has created a good opportunity. Let me give an example that fits well. For example, one of the news channels was innovative in this generalization process and turned journalism and news, which is a specialized work, into a public work. He said that all people should be our voice, everyone should be a reporter. With this method, he was able to do a beautiful and new work and create a transformation, even though he was on the opposite side of us, but it was a well-thought-out and tested work.
He added: Cyberspace is an issue that the Supreme Leader of the Revolution emphasized on in the Jihad of explanation. If we want to follow this order of Hazrat Agha Jamia, we must publicize the Jihadi atmosphere of explanation. That is to say, it has become a way that we put our hands on any subject and end up with the internet. We cannot distance ourselves from this space and we must definitely go towards it. Maybe some seminarians will criticize my words, why do you say that the advertisement should be made public. We have a document. whose name is Ghadeer Day. that the Prophet (p) They told all 120 thousand people that everyone should convey this message. Now we are in a situation where the atmosphere of religion and the Islamic revolution is such that until it is made public, until it is changed in terms of tools, we cannot say that we have changed in the domain and preaching. Therefore, I consider the first example of transformation in advertising to be generalization, and the second example as a tool, which is the transformation in the tool of the virtual space and its accessories.

This seminary and university lecturer stated: The formation of the Islamic Computer Science Center three decades ago by the Supreme Leader’s order to Ayatollah Aghazadeh. Shabiri Zanjani was formed and we are now witnessing a series of happy events at the international level. The Computer Center of Islamic Sciences has a lot to say in software production, content production, application production and artificial intelligence at the world level. Software production in Qom province has raised the level of religious production in the whole world Bring has done. There were no other similar collections in that period. After that, other institutions are engaged in this activity and similar events occur in many collections and they are working.
Salehpour added: “Cyber groups have been formed in this area and this change of tactics has been established with the line given to us by the leadership, but unfortunately, the area has not worked as we want.” Both in terms of the governmental sphere and in terms of the people’s sphere. Although people have always been ahead. Instead of starting the cyber unit of the field ten years ago, we are thinking about it now. We still do not have a good cyber unit of the field in the collection of seminary institutions. Of course, the Deputy Ministry of Publicity has a cyber unit. I don’t know what scope and function it is. But because a member of the strategic council of the institute Amir Bayan I have to tell this good news to all those who are active in the virtual space and advertising space that we have been working since last year, that is, almost since the beginning of the year. 1400 We launched a cyber unit with a coverage of 16 provinces in the country and 16 cyber units whose first virtual activity was during the elections and since then until now, a year has passed, it has been active and has many operations in this field. Do it and it is working.
He added: There are various collections, both seminary and non-seminar, that have entered the virtual space. Some dignity is group and some dignity is completely individual. These were auspicious events, but the main problem is the lack of visibility and the fact that this work becomes one-handed and camp-like. Now we have a lot of courses related to virtual space, but these are not coherent and it is not the case that it has unity and plurality at the same time. Teaching platforms, teaching all kinds of tools editThere are various activities that can be taught online. Various topics that are necessary for a virtual activist are taught, but it is completely up to you.
Righteous breeder He stated: Education, production, operation and activity of all these are happening in an isolated manner. Of course, I will not be unfair. The advertising office or the advertising vice-chancellor sometimes offers these classes for students, but the size does not fit the field at all. For example, I am not completely familiar with the resume of the advertising office because I am not a member there, but now if you go to them, they say that we had this number of classes, this number of students, or we created these pages, but when you look, you see the size and size of an advertising office that represents Not from the entire seminary. For example, like the advertising office, there are ten other groups that are doing much better with a number of educated people. Governmental groups should come to manage these diverse and numerous private works that are unaware of each other and put a big support umbrella over all of them and each of them have separate responsibilities. You can see that in addition to this, the advertising organization has started activities in the virtual space. Of these two, none of them found any relationship with each other in terms of structure are. You can also see that the deputy director of advertising has a cyber group for himself. No unit manages these.
Living in the virtual space is a necessity for missionaries to be effective
He pointed out: If we look at the Internet as a tool, in order for the advertisement that was done in the real space to be reflected in the virtual space with the same extent, we must accept this transformation and skinning. give up For example, on the night of Muharram, thousands of pulpits take place in real space. Does this amount of pulpit happen in virtual space? For example, in the story of the happy school, we saw it in the virtual space and in the real space. Online classes are being held now, they were held virtually because of Corona, but now why we did not reach the conclusion in the advertisement that we have an online pulpit as much as all the pulpits we go to during Muharram is not known. In terms of quantity, Imam Hosseini’s online platforms should reach the classes that are currently established faster. Take the example class may My wife wants a chat room because everyone knows what equipment they have and it should have all the necessities of a class. Internet forums should also be started as a development.
If we look at the Internet as a tool for the advertisement that was done before in the real space may It has been reflected in the virtual space with the same extent
Righteous breeder He added: In the virtual space, the space of Jihad has come to spread guidance in the same way that misguidance is spread in the same way. We now see that the elders say that cyber space has become the killing ground of our youth. If this is the case and misguidance is spreading through it, we have to spread the guidance in that way. We have to create field hospitals and emergencies in cyber space. That is, if the killing ground of our youth is in virtual space, hospitals cannot be in real space. Okay Where is the field now? And this mastering of tools is necessary here and we must go in this direction.
This researcher of religious preaching considered the process of transformation in preaching in cyberspace to require the implementation of stages and stated: the first problem is living in cyberspace. So that the student does not live in virtual space, ego do not killIf it does not take time, it cannot be effective. Of course, with detoxification. That is, this is a space that must constantly detoxify and be familiar with injuries and prevent injuries, but because it is dangerous, it cannot go to the front. They said to the party, why don’t you go to the front, he said that the doctor said that the arrow is harmful to your heart! Yes, cyber space is harmful. It is harmful both physiologically and psychologically. But it is not a reason not to go because it is harmful. We have to go and breathe in that space to be able to make an impact and this is the first step. If the party is not sent from Tehran to Dukohe, he cannot get a gun there. We must be sent there. The condition of living in the virtual space is that a person has a good phone. Must be familiar with tools and platforms. The small microphone is always in his pocket. Or that the microphone and camera of his phone have good quality. That is, he must live in this space. It means that he should become a digital mullah, otherwise this will not happen.
Righteous breeder He added: The second issue should be the creation of an accident. What are our enemies doing? a sudden fake And Alaki in the real atmosphere of the play Ash They make it and then publish it. They create an incident in real space and then give media coverage. It should be creating events that fit the virtual space and then reflect them. The amount of information input from the seminary community is small. Because the student does not live in that space. He must live first. Then the amount of information should increase. action and reaction to form. For example, “Salam Commander” was the creation of an incident, but unfortunately, it did not have wide media coverage. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t special either. This amount of incident in Iran should have been published a hundred times. That is, if 100,000 people gather in Azadi Stadium or 1,000 people gather in Saravan near the border, each of them should have 100 times the coverage, but we do not have good coverage and do not create accidents. Mann It happens like “Hello commander” and of course there is no proportion in it.
He pointed out: The third event is also a professional event that is not our job, and those who are in charge of this matter, such as ministries or some collections, should take care of it, and that is the creation of a new playground. both inside and outside and creating a national information network and identifying international weaknesses that can be used on the world’s internet space.
In the end, this religious missionary said: The last thing is the most obligatory and difficult of all, but until these things do not come into being, we will deal with the necessity of that last issue. not drawing The change of seminary and preaching literature. If we create all these things but literature Mann It doesn’t fit the audience at all Mann It is not published and it does not reach those special layers of the audience that are our target society in the world – both in the world and in our own country. Maybe now a number of properties and elites have a propaganda space, they say the slogan of this story, but who will act on it? If the students come to the Internet in general, then they will understand how much a certain article was seen or how effective it was. This literature answers. Missionaries must learn how to adapt their literature to fit the audience.
