خلاصة:
As a strategic issue and an important factor in the stability and dynamism of societies, "population" is a multidimensional issue that has been taken into account by social thinkers. In this regard, Allameh Misbah Yazdi, a prominent social philosopher, has presented social and cultural analyses concerning population. The central question of this article is derived from the social and cultural explanations of Allameh Misbah Yazdi about population. The data collection method is "documentary and library based" and the data were analyzed descriptively and analytically. The research findings showed that Allameh Misbah considers Islam to be in favor of increasing the population, but argues that its ruling is a function of social conditions. According to Allameh Misbah, population is a multi-dimensional issue that experts from various fields should work together to deal with. He considers two reasons to be the main factors in the formation of the population challenge: first, the enemies’ conspiracy; and secondly, the expansion of convenience culture. According to him, Hawzeh’s clerics have two major duties to compensate for the past shortcomings: carrying out cultural and scientific activities and introducing the research results to the public. He stipulated that the main problems of the population are "culture" and "lack of religiosity", and religion and religious teachings should be highlighted to tackle them.
ملخص الجهاز:
Given this classification of explanation, the demographic explanations of Allameh Misbah Yazdi belong to the second type; meaning that he has endeavored to explain the Islamic approach to the subject of population based on the fundamental teachings of religion.
Scientific backwardness In analyzing the factors that create opportunities for the enemy regarding the implementation of their demographic roles, Allameh Misbah Yazdi emphasizes the scientific deficiencies of Iranian society, particularly in the human sciences fields related to population, as well as translation-orientedness.
Carrying out cultural and scientific activities According to Allameh Misbah Yazdi, the most fundamental role of the clergy in the process of compensating for past deficiencies in the field of population is scientific work, cultural and Islamic activities, research, and education.
Based on this, Allameh Misbah Yazdi believes: one of the solutions for converging social forces in the field of population is for a group of specialists from various fields to gather and examine all related issues (ibid); because if there are also several experts from other fields, they might also present positive points to justify their own work (ibid).
Solution to the problem; strengthening values and beliefs As previously mentioned, Allameh Misbah Yazdi considers the main knot of population challenges to be cultural transformation and the weakness of religious values in society.
In the positive section of his demographic thought, Allameh Misbah Yazdi also refers to culture, viewing it as the axis of positive changes in the population issue.
