This article aims to explain the role of enemy psychological operations in media management and to provide countermeasures from the perspective of the Holy Quran. For this purpose, a comprehensive review of all the verses of the Holy Quran was conducted, extracting and analyzing 1701 verses related to the research topic.

This mixed-method research utilized qualitative analysis based on Grounded Theory with coding through MaxQDA software, and quantitative analysis involving a statistical population consisting of the verses of the Holy Quran, related interpretations, and 80 experts. The research is applied in nature. Data collection methods included field (questionnaire) and library (documents and records) approaches. SPSS and MaxQDA software were used for data analysis. The frequency distribution table of Quranic words was used to extract the verses.

According to the findings, an absolute majority (87.36% of the sample population) believe that enemy psychological operations significantly impact media management, and the Holy Quran provides solid and appropriate countermeasures.

Actions such as increasing insight, enhancing knowledge, identifying media beliefs, adopting audience attraction policies, and appropriately using words and phrases are highly effective in countering enemy psychological operations in today’s media environment.

the purpose of this research is to "explain the possible security scenarios of Azerbaijan in relation to Iran".

The current research is a part of exploratory research in terms of its practical purpose and

The statistical population was determined to be 30 people from top experts, managers and officials of the military and the country, and faculty members who have research experience in the field of future studies and are familiar with the issues of the countries of the Caucasus region. The required data is combined with environmental scanning, interviews with experts, and the use of questionnaires to collect and analyze data

This research identified 135 effective key factors and 575 drivers for the future of relations between Iran and Azerbaijan. After analysis and expert opinion, the findings were summarized into 17 key factors and 21 driver titles.

By ranking the key factors and drivers based on the degree of importance and uncertainty, two key uncertainties were selected. Three scenarios of "integration with Iran, competition with Iran, and hostilities with Iran" were visualized and analyzed with probabilities of 73%, 71%, and 45%, respectively.

The primary aim of this research is to explore the future of knowledge management from the perspective of the Holy Quran and Hadith.

This study is applied in nature and utilizes exploratory methods for investigation. Data was collected through two approaches: a library method, which included verses from the Holy Quran, related interpretations, narrations from infallibles, and relevant documents, and a questionnaire. The analysis was conducted using Scenario Wizard software, employing a closed questionnaire structured as a matrix of mutual impacts, based on surveys of experts and specialists. Ultimately, six key factors were identified as driving forces for the Scenario Wizard, leading to the extraction of one plausible and robust scenario through extensive analyses and input from an expert panel.

A strong scenario emerged from the Holy Quran and Hadith in the field of future studies, highlighting the importance of knowledge acquisition, preservation, and management, with the Quran as the central axis of knowledge.

The Holy Quran, particularly its verses related to nature, along with Hadiths narrated by the infallible, are considered rich sources for future studies in knowledge management. The term "Mutawassimin," mentioned in the Quran, refers to forward-thinking individuals.

Although the error probability is a part of an alert and cannot be avoided assuming an error occurs, it is necessary to think about the necessary arrangements to manage the consequences of the false warning. Therefore, the main question in this article is how to manage the consequences of false warnings? In response to this question, the views of eleven intelligence and security elites and experts were purposefully sampled using snowball sampling and continued until theoretical saturation. These consequences were identified first and then in the form of four dimensions of knowledge, methodology, manners and insights in the warning system, necessary measures such as retraining and enhancing the skills of analysts, correction and reviewing the intelligence gathering process and analyzing it, reviewing and controlling analysts' mentality and assumptions, and other important issues presented to manage these consequences and in the conclusion part, its conceptual model is mentioned.
