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 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.
