In a world where social media empowers every individual to be a broadcaster but also serves as a potent instrument of propaganda, the challenge of conveying truth is paramount. At this important conference on media, convened during the blessed month of Dhū l-Qaʿda, we recognize the tremendous effort required to counter negative narratives and disseminate accurate information. The Ahlul-Bayt (as) World Assembly News Agency (ABNA) and its initiatives like Al-Thaqalayn International TV are essential in this endeavor, providing a reliable voice for the teachings of Ahlul-Bayt (peace be upon them) amidst a sea of controlled and misleading information.

AhlulBayt News Agency: Imam Sadiq (AS), in describing the era before the advent of the promised Mahdi, speaks of the spread of cheating in measurement (under-weighing and under-measuring) and the growing difficulty of earning lawful sustenance. In this perspective, cheating is not limited to the scales; rather, any shortfall in properly fulfilling one's responsibilities can be considered an instance of it. For this reason, one of the most important signs of a truly expectant believer (one who awaits the Imam's reappearance) is earning lawful sustenance and fulfilling the rights of the people.
