| .Under current conditions, the front of global arrogance, by resorting to hybrid warfare and distorted narratives, has targeted the intellectual and doctrinal identity of Islamic society. In such circumstances, Martyr Imam Khamenei, drawing inspiration from Qur՚anic verses, introduced the term “jihād-i tabyīn” (jihād of clarification). Jihād-i tabyīn is a Qur՚anic strategy and a multilayered educational process that, in confronting the war of narratives, strengthens the faith and insight of the learner and, relying on ethics, law, and innovation, safeguards society against the enemy's distortions. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach and the istinṭāqī (interrogative) method. Data were collected through the library method and examined using the technique of qualitative content analysis. The findings indicate that the foundations of the educational methods of jihād-i tabyīn can be classified into two general categories: general foundations, comprising faith, trust in God, steadfastness, and perseverance; and specific foundations, comprising moral commitment, adherence to law, and innovation. Likewise, the educational objectives of this jihād operate on two levels: short-term objectives, such as guiding the learner toward recognition of the truth, raising awareness of the distortion of religion, enhancing analytical capacity against media dictatorship, strengthening hope and psychological resilience, recalling forgotten truths, and cultivating the capacity for logical responses to doubts and long-term objectives, including immunizing the learner against intellectual and doctrinal deviation, empowering them to stand firm against opposing currents, and institutionalizing lasting insight. |
