Charity, Tenderness-Based Moral Education and Cultural Security

Explosion-like access of information, communications, and social media have brought about instant cultural exchanges. In itself of a tool-like nature, it can potentially be in the service of the good or evil. Availability of harmful data, represented by tempting appearance that instigate people to follow carnal desires, and sharpen and kindle more sagacious people’s desires, it urges people, and especially the religious people, to find cures for this unfavorable mass phenomenon. Hence, the question: What is the easiest and most accessible way for prevention, cure, and providing cultural security for the human and spiritual resources and capitals? The present paper focuses on the notion of moral education based on tenderness and charity as the fastest and firmest ways for achieving cultural security, particularly based on the Quranic and Ahl al-Bayt legacies. This method never contradicts the minimal legal and state-based requirements; however, these requirements should be designed and practiced according to charity/ tenderness-based moral education strategies.
