Abstract

The article focuses on the concept of admonition, “tazakkor”, a Quranic term, as one of the propagation principles in religious media. The purpose is to show that the religious media in a society based on Quranic principles and the Traditions set by the Holy Prophet and Infallible Imams must assume the responsibility of admonishing.
To admonish is therefore the main feature of the religious media with guidance as their ultimate goal. Religious media norms are therefore derived on the basis of this concept which implies the replacement of negligence with admonishment.
We are here to provide an explanation of admonishment based on Quranic methods as one of the norms of religious media. This requires a discussion on media normative theory and extracting the holy verses dealing with the issue. The main question is identifying the dos and don’ts of religious media according to the Quranic concept of admonishment. First the Quranic admonishments are analyzed under ten categories. Then the method used in each is extracted and finally a diagram of the dos and don’ts of religious media based on the Quranic concept is offered.
