Abstract

Persuasion, the objective of the science of communication and the Quran, is the noblest form of interaction. The ultimate goal of persuasion is to reach action through insight and inclination. The primary condition for religious persuasion is the audience's exposure to the religious message. One of the important fiqhi rules is the avoidance of the misuse of authority by the obligated person, which negates the removal of the punishability of voluntary prohibitions in the path of fulfilling a religious duty. This research, through library data collection and recruiting a descriptive-analytical method, seeks to answer the question: What is the conception and application of the rule of "avoidance of the misuse of authority by the obligated person" in religious persuasion? The rule of avoidance has applications in kalām (theology), usūl al-fiqh (principles of jurisprudence), and fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), and has both textual (naqlī) and rational (aqlī) foundations, with a wide range of applications. In the issue of religious persuasion, with an emphasis on the Holy Quran, the application of this rule can be divided into two individual and social domains, where issues such as "attentiveness" (insāt) can be constitutive of this rule in the individual domain. Accordingly, the circle of "attentiveness" will be expanded from silence to active listening.
