Abstract

Communication and propagation are the most important means of promoting thought, culture, values, and messages to others, hence the attempt made by all religions, schools and nations to spread their ideologies. To do this successfully, one needs to adopt correct, efficient and diverse methods.
Today, the confrontation between the world’s oppressive system and the monotheistic and right Islamic culture is more prominent than before, resulting in a distinction between the believers and arrogant powers. The Quran’s life-giving verses which act as support for the monotheistic front are full of references to prophets’ and other great figures’ adopted methods of propagating faith. On the other hand, the oppressors, whose main endeavor is to resort to devilish schemes to deceive people, have at their disposal the most advanced means of advertisement and propagation.
In the present article there is a comparative description between the two opposing trends, i.e. the Quranic way which relies on values, truthfulness, and comprehensiveness as performed by its depicted model figures , and today’s propagation methods that are far from righteousness and preach what they do not act and resort to illegitimate means to achieve their goals. The latter method will ultimately lead to no sustainable hope, good and felicity for mankind.
