Explanation and clarification are essential requirements in both the field of thought and the field of action, and neglecting them can lead to irreparable consequences. God has established obligations based on this principle and considers its absence as a criterion for removing the pen. Scholars are also committed to spreading awareness. Iran's Islamic Revolution was undoubtedly one of the significant socio-political phenomena that occurred at the end of the 20th century. Its emergence and continuation have overshadowed many national and international transactions and events. The extremist groups have always tried to remove it from the field, and its continuation has angered them. Therefore, the wise leader, as the helmsman of the revolution, emphasized the importance of explaining it and clearly tasked the thinkers and knowledgeable individuals with making the new generation aware of the realities of the revolution and protecting it with their jihad of explanation. Undoubtedly, the Ashura uprising is one of the great human phenomena that would not have been possible without Zainab Kobra. If it were not for her, Karbala would have remained just a place, and those who were thirsty for the truth and knowledge of Hosseini would have been deprived of that bright source of freedom and the path of true service. They would have wandered on an uneven road, captive to happiness. This article aims to reread the sermons of the Lady of Karbala movement in Kufa and Sham using library documents and data and, of course, the content analysis method. It has identified several useful explanatory components, including the inevitability of explanation, analysis of the current situation, warning about the future, litigation and trial of the enemy, and explaining the failure of the enemy. The re-read components of the sermons of the Lady of Karbala can serve as a suitable light for the jihadists of the Explanation Front. They can take effective steps on the path of Explanation Jihad by following this light..

In Shia culture, Hosseini's Arbaeen Pilgrimage is considered one of the divine values that focuses on promoting self-prosperity and the prosperity of social capital. This great spiritual ceremony has various social and legal functions, and studying it can redefine and reveal the functions of social capital. In this research, we examine the achievements of this important religious event by considering the dimensions of social capital. The study's practical and documentary method involves describing the content of the sources and texts collected through field and library methods to identify and introduce the various aspects of the Arbaeen procession and the legal and social aspects of this ceremony. Using existing evidence and facts, we examine this great social event from the perspective of social capital and explore its social and legal functions. Our research findings reveal that the Arbaeen ceremony has significant social-legal effects and consequences, including promoting unity, strengthening social capital, increasing the spirit of resistance, building social trust, fostering a culture of giving, reducing crime, enforcing the rule of law, aiding international peace and security, and promoting international criminal law. By investigating the social and legal dimensions of the Arbaeen procession, this research provides insights into the potential of religious events in promoting social capital and contributing to a more peaceful and just society.

Jurisprudence has a significant impact on human social life as it encompasses the principles of how to live. While the Quran and the Prophet's Sunnah serve as the foundation of Muslim social orders, the question remains as to how social jurisprudence was reflected during the presence of the Ahl al-Bayt. To address this issue, this study examines the historical review of social jurisprudence during the period of Ahl al-Bayt's presence. The findings reveal that hadiths prepared by the Messenger of God were disseminated in the community and later, Ahl al-Bayt made a serious effort to produce content and chapter them under the title of Bab al-Ashrah or other jurisprudential chapters. They also paid special attention to examining the social situation of the society and focused on socializing people, thereby making them aware of social jurisprudence. Their strategy aimed to prevent harm while acquiring spirituality in performing actions. As a result of these strategies, a unique lifestyle and social effects were realized in the life of Shiites. For instance, linguistic social symbols such as Hay Ali Khair al-Aml and even their daily lives were influenced by jurisprudence. This research employed a historical research method and data-based studies to explore the relationship between jurisprudence and its effect on the social life of Shiites. The study's contribution lies in its historical analysis of social jurisprudence during the period of the Ahl al-Bayt's presence, highlighting the impact of their strategies on the social life of Shiites. This research provides insights into the role of social jurisprudence in shaping social norms and values, which remain relevant to contemporary society.

This article aims to provide anthropological foundations for achieving a desirable lifestyle by investigating the causes and internal factors of human action from the perspective of Ayatollah Javadi Amoli. Using descriptive, analytical, and implication research methods, the study examines the concept of "human" in "human lifestyle" and "human act," which refers to a level of desirability based on the superiority of human dignity over other beings. beings possess cognitive faculties organized by senses, imagination, illusion, and intellect. In addition, a structure of attraction and repulsion with varying degrees exists within the human being, which shapes their desires. The combination of these structures in the human heart creates a system of preferences that ultimately leads to providence. Human action that is motivated by desires is similar to that of animals, while human action that is caused by reason or definite transmission is different from that of animals. Verbs, by becoming relatively stable behavioral patterns, serve as the basis for realizing a lifestyle that can be deemed "human" or "animal." This study employs Ayatollah Javadi Amoli's perspective to explore the internal factors that influence human action, leading to a desirable lifestyle. The significance of this research lies in its contribution to the anthropological foundations of achieving a desirable lifestyle. The study provides insights into the internal factors that influence human action and how they can lead to a lifestyle that is worthy of the adjective "human." This research has implications for promoting a more humanistic approach to life, which can contribute to a more just and equitable society.

Modern technology has brought numerous conveniences to humanity, but it has also had unfortunate consequences. Despite discussions among thinkers about these consequences, little attention has been given to the causes, factors, and relationship between them. This study employs a philosophical ethics approach and references technology theorists to address this gap. From this perspective, modern technology is formed based on worldly meanings and the rule of lust and anger over reason. This cognitive inversion leads to the enslavement of the mind and entire existence of humanity under animality, resulting in identitylessness and the formation of animal character, leading to indescribable human suffering. At the macro level, technology contributes to the destruction of human values, the domination of nature, man, and society, and changes in people's perceptions and ways of thinking. This results in a state of permanent anonymity, cultural captivity, and a secondary identity incompatible with the original human identity. This study uses an analytical and rational method to explore the relationship between the causes and consequences of modern technology and its impact on human values, perceptions, and identity. The findings reveal a hidden contradiction in Western culture and civilization, leading to a shift in how we view modern technology and its role in society. This research contributes to the philosophical ethics approach to understanding modern technology's consequences. It provides insights into the causes and factors of the consequences of modern technology and its impact on humanity, culture, and society. This research has implications for promoting a more humanistic approach to technology and technology development, contributing to a more just and equitable society.

This paper presents a mixed-methods study that aims to analyze the discourse of the Islamic Revolution with emphasis on the values of resistance, sacrifice, and martyrdom in national media programs. The study used both qualitative and quantitative content analysis methods. The qualitative part employed thematic analysis with purposeful sampling and included 15 communication professors and media activists. The quantitative part analyzed content related to the culture of resistance, sacrifice, and martyrdom in national media channels one and two from September 31 to October 6, 1400. The results of the qualitative analysis revealed that the national media should continue to build culture and improve the level of awareness and religious beliefs of the people throughout the year. This can be achieved through various programs, interviews with experts, and the constructive interaction of the national media with academic and research institutions. The study also suggests the use of ideas from specialists and experts in religion and the introduction of martyrs as exemplars for the youth in national media programs. The quantitative analysis showed that in the field of anti-arrogance culture, the oppressed are the focus of the fight against global arrogance. Additionally, the study identified three components of self-sacrifice, trust, and sincerity in the jihadi spirit, two emotional and cognitive components in religious identity, and three cultural, political, and geographical components in national identity. The findings of this study are significant as they provide insights into the discourse of the Islamic Revolution and how it is represented in national media programs. The study highlights the importance of emphasizing values such as resistance, sacrifice, and martyrdom in national media programs and suggests ways in which the media can effectively convey these values to the public.

This article presents a descriptive, analytical, and documentary analysis of the demographic structure components and variables affecting demographic changes in Iran, with a focus on the outlook for the horizon of 1430. The study identifies two critical components of population composition and movement, for each of which there are important indicators. Population composition indicators include the heterogeneous distribution and density of the population, age and gender structure, ethnic and racial identity, while population movement indicators include fertility, population growth, aging, migration, urbanization, and marriage and divorce rates. The study suggests that if the current population trends continue, Iran will experience negative population growth by 1430. The research identifies four possible scenarios for Iran's population growth, including maximum growth, fertility stability, fertility reduction with a mild slope, and severe fertility reduction. The first two scenarios are deemed unlikely, while the third and fourth scenarios are more probable if cultural guardians and officials work to remove obstacles related to the marriage of young people and encourage the timely formation of families. The study highlights the accelerating factors of the population crisis and the unofficial statistics that suggest a drastic reduction in the population to less than 1%. The research concludes that Iran's population growth will be negative much earlier than the horizon of 1430. This study is significant as it provides insights into Iran's demographic changes and the outlook ahead, which can inform policymakers and stakeholders in developing strategies to address population-related challenges.
