The launch of the new daily news style on the website coincides with the October 11 and International Girl's Day.
Before starting, I would like to congratulate all the girls of my country, especially the girls of Arad, the employees, the merchants, and their daughters.
I hope God will assist in conveying this new style to your esteemed attention in an appropriate manner.
We have numbered each section so that if you read up to a point and wish to continue later, you can easily remember, or if you want to refer to something in the comments, you can mention the section number.
We begin the news for the October 11 with a recorded video of Wednesday's meeting by Mr. Talia, discussing negotiation and business strategy, lasting 62 minutes, attended by over 500 Aradis.
1. Wednesday meeting by Mr. Talia
The meetings that will be announced on the Arad Branding website from now on will be the senior management meetings.
We ask business enterprises to hold separate meetings for their members and inform them so they can address their shortcomings and accelerate their growth in trade.
2. B2B Meeting
Representatives from Iraq and Tajikistan held meetings with Arad merchants with Promotion 9 and above. We will watch a 4-minute summary of these meetings together.Many of your enterprise members do not know how to turn the services that Arad provides into profit and revenue. As time passes, they say Arad did nothing for them.
They don’t mention that Arad fulfilled all its commitments, but because they stayed away from the site and were unaware of the services provided, they didn’t benefit.
It is the responsibility of the enterprises to acquaint merchants with the promotion services, even though these services are fully listed in the "Promotions" section of the website menu. However, most unsuccessful members do not even visit the site to read about it.
3. What is a Promotion?
A promotion is a contract between Arad and its merchants, where Arad's employees make constructive efforts to accelerate the growth of the merchants.
Promotions are numbered from 1 to 12, similar to hotel star ratings, and indicate the organizational credibility of the merchant.
You can view the services for each promotion level here.
4. Branding Power in Promotions
| Promotion | Power |
| 1 - 2 - 3 | Weak |
| 4 - 5 - 6 | Medium |
| 7 - 8 - 9 | Good |
| 10 - 11 - 12 | Excellent |
5. Responding to Someone Who Thinks They Understand Everything.
Hushang Rahnama Matin, in a lengthy comment, resigned after giving a speech in the previous council meeting where he did not receive any votes. His resignation was easily accepted.
He, being a deeply religious person, made several criticisms of the council members in his comment, reproaching them for not voting for him.
Since I am certain that Hushang's criticisms come from a place of goodwill and concern, I will respond to him in this manner. Although I am not a decision-maker or policymaker, I do understand the reasoning behind some of the council members' actions.
To a newcomer or to people with a limited intellectual understanding, Hushang's criticisms might seem very attractive and logical. I want to prove their flaws to defend the council members. It was a good decision not to vote for Hushang because if you had, you would have led to the ruin of many merchants and discouraged the employees.
One of Hushang's comments was why Arad focuses only on the Hadiths about sustenance and livelihood in trade, while ignoring Hadiths about hijab and immodesty, which he believes lead to a reduction in sustenance.
The answer is quite clear.
Arad is an economic and commercial company and is legally permitted to comment on these matters because it holds the relevant licenses.
Now, these economic and commercial comments might be accompanied by verses and Hadiths, or they might come with historical and geographical documents, etc.
However, if Arad were to comment on hijab or other religious matters, which indeed are not irrelevant to sustenance, many relevant authorities—such as religious seminaries, security institutions, and cultural organizations—would object. And rightfully so, with the argument that Arad does not have the license to promote cultural or Islamic values.
The responsibility for promoting and guiding people on matters like hijab or other religious duties lies with specific authorities, and it is not Arad's responsibility to command or forbid people on these issues.
Arad's duty is focused on economics and trade.
If we were to get involved in matters other than economics and trade, there are so many intertwined issues in this country that we would never get to economics and trade.
Therefore, Arad has dedicated itself solely to economics and trade. If you pay attention, all the verses and Hadiths we mention on the site are related to this field, and we refrain from discussing those unrelated to trade and economics.
Now, so as not to exhaust you, dear readers, we will move on from this discussion and watch a 27-minute talk by the honorable Professor Taqsimi. Afterward, we will return to continue reading Hushang's criticisms.

7. Let's Fight Poverty.
If you look at Instagram and Telegram and see what people are absorbed in, you would feel sorry for them.
Let’s come together and help eliminate this mental ignorance.
By God, these people are not at fault, and they do not deserve to remain in this state of ignorance.
Use the potential of independent media like Instagram.
Set aside your shyness and let go of your stinginess.
Don’t be afraid of being mocked or criticized.
Our colleagues prepare short videos every day, and if we all post these videos as Reels on our Instagrams together, the culture of the country will change in a short time.
There are many of us, and we can make a difference.
I’ve been told to emphasize that you should post Reels on Instagram, as Stories and Shares have less of a public impact compared to Reels.
To download the videos, join the video download channel.
Let’s watch two of these videos together, and then we’ll continue with the critique of Hushang.
8. So, What’s the Ultimate Way to Get Rich?
9. What a Fight 😦
10. Everyone Should Reach Promotion 12, Some in Full, Some in Installments
Another suggestion from Hushang was that all traders should be upgraded to Promotion 12, and there should be no traders at Promotion levels 1 to 11.
Everyone should reach level 12, but if someone doesn’t have the money, they should pay for level 1, and owe the rest to Arad.
Arad would then provide the services for level 1, and the trader could pay the rest in installments.
I’ve noticed this mindset a lot among religious people, as my maternal family is deeply religious—they have a strong desire to take everyone to the highest levels of heaven.
Dear Hushang and all those who agree with him, maybe this person doesn’t want to become a professional trader.
Maybe they’re content with being a weak trader, and that’s fine with them.
Faith has ten levels, and Salman the Persian (r.a.) is at the tenth level of faith.
Many people don’t want to become Salman. Why are you so insistent on making everyone like him?
Maybe many people are satisfied with just sitting at the gates of heaven.
What kind of logic is this?
A lot of people can’t sleep at night knowing they owe 1 billion tomans to Arad for Promotion 12.
What kind of logic is it to push everyone to Promotion 12, even on installments, making them indebted and burdened?
Let’s leave Hushang ’s critiques for a moment, and first, we’ll watch today’s Arad Documentary for 2 minutes, followed by two short films.

14. Continuing Hushang 's Criticisms
Honestly, if we didn’t know Hushang , we would think his goal with this statement is to prevent people from getting into trade. But since we do know him, we say it comes from a lack of understanding of how to give the right information to people.
Additionally, Hushang wasn’t very successful in making traders during his time in the business enterprise himself.
However, let’s ask the business enterprises that have introduced many people to trade.
At least 100 hours.
Are people willing to sit for 100 hours to listen to the full explanation, assuming you’re even willing to spend that time?
People today want to decide quickly whether or not to enter the trade.
And secondly, is this really the right way to introduce people to the right path?
If a Christian meets you and you want to introduce them to Islam, would you teach them the entire book of Islamic laws first and then invite them to Islam?
Or would you say that Islam is two simple phrases.
Just that.
Once they’re Muslim, they will read the laws, face challenges, and grow into it.
Similarly, business enterprises should share two essential principles with people, leaving the rest for after they enter trade.
The first is: "Do you really believe that you need to become wealthy, and that poverty will destroy you?"
If they say yes.
If they accept these two principles, they will enter the trade.
It’s like someone becoming Muslim with two words but not following the rules and then becoming miserable.
Is their misery the fault of the person who invited them to Islam?
What do you think, Hushang , and others like you?
Let’s take a look at the 2-minute video of Arad Branding's Turkey office and the opportunities available there for Promotion 12 traders.
15. Turkey
16. Utilization of Foreign Offices and Showrooms
Arad traders with Promotion 12 can fully utilize the resources of all Arad Branding’s foreign offices and showrooms.
Traders with less than Promotion 12 can send their clients and suppliers to these foreign offices and earn a brokerage commission, but they cannot directly participate in negotiations or be present.
17. Hushang’s Final Criticism
It's surprising to hear this from someone who claims to follow the Prophet of God.
If the Prophet's reward was conditional upon others' actions, then he wouldn’t have received any reward, considering how many left the true path after the Prophet's passing by rejecting Ali, the Commander of the Faithful.
The Prophet's duty was to show the right path to the people.
God tells His Prophet to warn and admonish the people.
Maybe this person doesn't want to listen.
If a trader ties themselves to the Arad website, and then the enterprise abandons them, that is the height of ingratitude.
If a enterprise tells its members, "Just pay money and do nothing, and you'll get rich," that’s the enterprise’s malice. If a enterprise tells people, "Without changing your beliefs and with the same flawed ways of the past, you'll still get rich with Arad," that's deception.
But if the enterprise says all this and the other side ignores it, what blame is on the enterprise?
The next day, they don't have time.
I speak from years of experience.
That’s why, when it comes to disputes between traders and enterprises, I side with the enterprises by default, unless proven otherwise.
Yet the trader expects that even though they haven’t fulfilled their promises, the enterprise should fulfill all of theirs.
From this platform, I announce to all honorable enterprise owners.
If they end up poor and miserable, no blame is on you, and you are not their guardian.
I didn't intend to write about Hushang and his criticisms, but I felt that his critique reflects the feelings of many, so I wrote this to defend my own position.

Active commercial enterprises, especially employee-owned enterprises, should definitely join this channel and respond to questions.
21. Increasing Membership in Enterprises
An enterprise can increase its membership in two ways.

24. I Wasn’t in Favor, but I Felt Happy.
Two days ago, I wrote in the news that I would like my colleagues in the media unit to be careful in their productions so that we don't become the subjects of fools.
However, what happened, happened, and an ignorant person attacked our media film on Instagram.
Last night, my colleagues in the media unit gave him a stunning response on the same Instagram platform.
Although I initially disagreed with this action, I was truly delighted by your response, which made me and my writing team very happy.
Thank you for showing that if someone insults the Aradis, you can silence them with logic and solid reasoning, to the point where they are forced to block the Aradis. 😂
You showed that a mosque is not a place for .... but a place of worship.
