Saviorism is one of the shared aspects of Monotheistic religions and among the spiritual phenomena that exists in different faiths. Instances of Savior is different among religions followers. Muslims see the salvation of human societies in the appearance of Imam Mahdi and with supplication to him, try in laying the groundwork for the emergence of the Mahdian community. In Christianity too, the salvation of human society is known to be in the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. In the meantime, some people deny Mahdian saviorism and see their gaining money and power in false spiritual contexts. Understanding factors inhibiting Mahdiship from an Islamic view is among the main concerns of this research. Applying the secondary analysis method on scriptural data obtained from Quran and the Islamic tradition, the researcher does this task. Factors like personal "self," devils, witchcraft, making money and variety-seeking in spiritualism cause prevention of Mahdian saviorism. How to control these factors is one of the innovative findings of this paper.

Increasingly, the human society is taking some distance from human and kind relationships and approaching legal forces and surveillance. It cannot continue this trend. Humankind must live by his innate qualities and has the relationship with others based on his creation plan. With an archival analytical method, this paper seeks to provide some Quranic solutions to that problem. In the view of Quran, seeing only the self is a strategic mistake by humankind interacting with the self and is a symptom of forgetting the self. God has considered humanity in pairs, created couples from a 'single person,' deemed caring of family relationship necessary and designed human relations in this framework. From this view, forming a family is the starting point to be united and is learning about living in human society and practice of agreement with others. Not regarding human's relationships in the form of family is destroying natural and innate human relationships and leads to the necessity of coercion for achieving consensus. In this view, ethical integration and assuming obligation become more important than sexual passion and need in the woman and man relationships so that a favorable environment for physical development and spiritual and ethical promotion of children will exist and they will experience a consensual and convergent life in the family society. A consensus encountered in the small family community is the best context for internal social consensus. In that society, talking about "humans are organs of one body" makes sense, and with alleviating legal coercion, social relationships can be sustainable.

Entering cyber social networks particularly mobile-based social networks, for example, WhatsApp has accompanied with some damages, and one of these damages is threatening user's privacy. In this kind of systems, user's privacy exposes to threat from three directions: from other users, from the network's managers, and from governments. This paper, with an analytical, descriptive method and referencing to original religious scriptures, derives ethical principles related to 'privacy,' such as obtaining permission, being camouflage for, keeping secrets, not prying, the reflection principle and avoiding oppression, avoiding theft and keeping away from harassing others. It applies these principles to data latent in the virtual environment. It concludes that governments facing two ethical principles of ensuring user's security and protecting their privacy must lay the ground for protecting user's privacy -to the possible extent- by promoting ethical principles and by establishing national networks, and avoid using their information against them.

Nowadays, modern media for example satellite TVs with a global coverage and purposeful planning, try to replace their audience's real Identities with western culture and values by penetrating into all aspects of personal and social human life. They do this work with a broad range of formats, gradually and of course without resistance. Commercial Ads are one of these influential media formats that beside the ultimate purpose of altering values, provide by changing attitudes and affecting masses, particularly families, required cultural contexts for the provision of material interests.
On the one hand, goods and services provider's increasing demand to find new markets with the utilization of all media capacities and on the other hand, families and especially couples that are main pillars of families, are always in need of learning, guidance and gaining experience for satisficing their needs. These two side's needs have brought about attention to and an importance of commercial product's promotion. In the meantime, these ad's false guidance has become very dangerous for couples and caused numerous damages in the realm of family and couple's communication. The present paper tries with an archival method and with an emphasis on content analysis of some commercial ads, study some of these influences and damages.
Some of the most important of these effects include the change in lifestyle, weakening family base, lack of responsibility, the decrease in the emotional relationship, promotion of marital infidelity, causing mental illnesses, spreading immorality and promiscuity and financial losses.

The research problem of this paper is how 'Cloob' social network users, among types of selves, introduce and disclose themselves in it. The theoretical foundation of this research has studied scholar's ideas in the fields of symbolic interaction, self, and self-presentation. The statistical population consists of all young active users of 'cloob.com.' Its sampling procedure was convenience sampling, and it did with 370 persons. The research method is the online survey, and the main data collection tool is a questionnaire that its validity and reliability confirmed by doing a pretest. In addition to the questionnaire, observation of user's profiles used as a second data collection tool. For empirical judgment, the paper has used descriptive and inferential statistical tests. The research findings show that users present themselves as successful, elite, positive and skillful persons and rarely introduce themselves as irreligious and as opposition to the political system. Explanatory findings reveal that there is a significant difference between gender and the way of self-disclosure. Observation of user's profiles also showed that they try to present themselves as positive, idealist and perfectionist, which can be far from reality and according to Goffman, they play roles somehow.
