Epistemological Strategies of a Religious Government in Original Research Preventing Cultural Damages With Emphasis on the Holy Quran and the Sunnah

One of the duties of a religious government is to ensure the intellectual, spiritual and psychological security of the people in a society. This research aims to investigate the methods of a religious government in preventing cultural damage using a descriptiveanalytical method; the main question which is to be answered is as follows: What are the epistemological strategies of a religious government in preventing cultural damages? In a general division, cultural strategies could be divided into practical (behavioral) strategies and epistemological strategies. Epistemological strategies are further divided based on perspective, tendency, and action. Belief in monotheism, prophethood, imamate and resurrection are among the most important perspective-based epistemological strategies that play a fundamental role in preventing and removing cultural damage, and the religious government is obliged to try to strengthen these beliefs. Raising people's awareness, promoting the culture of seeking justice and rejecting tyranny, presenting religious teachings in an easy and simple way, and promoting religious teachings based on freedom are among the tendency-based epistemological strategies. And confronting harmful ideas such as heresy, eclecticism and skepticism, superstition and blind imitation of foreign culture is among the actionbased strategies of a religious government in preventing and removing cultural damages.
