World Assembly, Hojat al-Islam Tavana said, “The Rahnama Portal is designed as a comprehensive and specialized index guide for the teachings of the Quran and AhlulBayt (a.s.) school for missionaries and clerics. This portal serves as a navigation for all the websites and groups that are active in the field of AhlulBayt (a.s.) studies in the virtual space in different languages. Also, AhlulBayt (a.s.) teachings are published on the Google Scholar platform through the formation of profiles for Shiite scholars and ulama, from the late Imam Khomeini (r.a.) to other influential ulama in the fields of theology, philosophy, ethics, mysticism, and jurisprudence. 41 profiles have been completed so far and are still being upgraded.

Therefore, the necessary talks and coordination have been made with the Ghaemiyeh Computer Research Center of Isfahan to do this work and it is being completed. Considering that the great Eid of the birth of Imam Mahdi (a.s.) is near, “Seraj” Digital Comprehensive Special Issue on Culture and Propagation, which has a variety of content in various multimedia formats related to Mahdism, has been prepared and presented. This collection addresses missionaries as its primary audience, but it is also can be useful for researchers and those interested in the field of Mahdism, and it is now available in the portal https://www.ahl-ul-bayt.org/.”

World Assembly will be appreciated and honored; those who over the past years have been supervising the production and publication of the works and content of the Assembly; for the efforts of these dignitaries be appreciated, and we will benefit from the cooperation of these dear ones in the continuation of this important path,” Tavana added.

“Announcing the activities in the media makes the general audience, especially similar centers, and organizations, get to know about the programs of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly in the virtual space and missionaries active in the virtual and real propagation can present these works to the AhlulBayt (a.s.) enthusiasts and followers in different parts of the world with different languages and tastes,” he also said.

On the importance of the mutual connection with the audience, the Director General of the Department of Studies and Research of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly stated, “The Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly emphasizes that the Assembly should pay special and strategic attention to the growing field of virtual space in its transformational document and program. Therefore, we must establish mutual communication with the missionaries in the virtual space and address the needs of different regions in this way.”

“The AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly has the capacity and ability to provide and produce the content needed by different regions and to create mutual and two-way communication between the missionary and the audience.

It is necessary for the centers and institutions that are responsible for dispatching missionaries who are familiar with different languages and international activities, to use the capacity of the Assembly to equip the missionaries with the content according to the needs and necessities of each region, so that, with the help of God, by interaction and synergy, doing parallel or interference work is avoided,” Tavana said in the end. /345/
