Abstract :
Cyberspace constitutes a vast and comprehensive domain encompassing all aspects of contemporary life. It has created highly complex conditions and penetrated various dimensions of individuals’ lives in society. This study seeks to identify and analyze the status of Mahdism culture education in social networks and, subsequently, to propose appropriate strategies for its reinforcement and development. (Problem) To this end, the research employed expert interviews and SWOT analysis to identify, extract, and network the key themes of Mahdism teachings within social media. (Method) After a preliminary analysis of the identified data and based on the SWOT analytical method, the “current position of Mahdism culture and the concept of expectation in cyberspace” was plotted on a coordinate axis, receiving a score of 1.09 on the X-axis and 2.55 on the Y-axis. This position places it within the conservative strategy quadrant. Accordingly, in line with this position, the study proposes a macro-level scientific and educational strategy titled: “Strengthening and developing education and upbringing (self-construction, community building, system building, and civilization building) of Mahdism in social networks,” accompanied by eight subsidiary strategies.
