In the Iranian series "Noon Khe," we saw that the people killed Jonathan cow and replaced it with a bull for Salman, the cow's owner, who then realized this switch.
He asked them, "Where were you getting your milk and yogurt from?"
They answered, "Jonathan."
He then asked, "So was Jonathan male or female?"
They knew the answer was female, but if they said so, Salman would ask, "Then why did you give me a bull?" So, they replied, "Male."
And we all laughed.
Now, in today’s Iran, we ask people, "What is the main concern of your life?"
Everyone says, "Poverty and lack of money."
Then we ask, "Based on this, what kind of knowledge and awareness should you prioritize in your minds every day?"
They respond, "University physics and chemistry or biological sciences, along with useless and irrelevant Instagram clips that have nothing to do with economics or financial concerns."
And once again, we all laugh.
But what a bitter and painful laugh it is.
It comes at the cost of delayed marriages, the ruin of our sons and daughters, and thousands of other corruptions, all of which stem from poverty.
The important question is: if our main problem is poverty and lack of money, why don’t we pursue knowledge that will lead us to wealth?
If you say that we are a people who generally don’t seek knowledge, that could be acceptable.
But we see that we are a people who, according to official and unofficial statistics, spend on average more than 6 hours a day increasing our knowledge.
From schools and universities to extracurricular classes, and studying on websites and social networks like Telegram and Instagram, and so on.
The question is, out of these 6 hours that Iranians spend each day on learning, how many minutes are devoted to their greatest life concern?
Six hours multiplied by 90 million people in Iran equals 540 million hours in a day.
That’s about 200 billion hours in a year.
In your opinion, how many of these hours are spent learning about economics and methods to increase income?
If we just searched for 24 hours about where the money is, we would certainly arrive at trade.
The fact that the people of Iran haven’t turned to trade shows that the knowledge they’re pursuing is all useless. As Imam Ali (peace be upon him) said, "O God, I seek refuge in You from knowledge that is of no benefit," which is so similar to seeking refuge in God from the evil of Satan.
The cure is in one place, but the people are somewhere else.
Arad, understanding this necessity, says, "Take the Business School seriously."
For God’s sake, distance yourself for a while from knowledge that brings you no benefit and fully engage yourself in learning trade.
What good have you seen in other sciences that you don’t leave them, and what harm is there in trade that you don’t embrace it?

2. An Independent Media is the Symbol of a Great Trader.
When we hear the word "trader," it automatically implies a person of greatness, class, and strong character.
If you say you are or want to be a trader.
What symbolizes your greatness?
In today's world, greatness is often summarized in two things.
- Vast material wealth
- Non-material assets
We started trading to achieve the first goal (material wealth), but at the moment, we don’t have it.
Therefore, we must begin building our greatness through the second goal—acquiring non-material assets—until we reach the first.
However, is any type of non-material asset what we are looking for?
No.
Because here at Arad, our focus is on economics and trade.
The non-material assets we Aradis aim for are those that will help us grow in our businesses and lead to greater financial gain.
There are four categories of non-material assets that can help us achieve material wealth.
- Business Personality
- Business Skills
- Loyal Human Resources
- Accessibility and Credibility, which are key to 90% of trade.
The first two can be gained through the Business School and senior management meetings.
The third can be achieved if you run a business enterprise, grow your team, and actively work on their development.
But how can you achieve the fourth?
By having independent media.
When you consistently produce engaging content on social media, over time, people will recognize you as a reference.
In the early days, people may mock you and criticize the path you've chosen. However, your persistence and the topics you present through your media will gradually cause those same people, who once ridiculed you, to either start working with you in trade, become your assistants, encourage and support you, or, out of envy, fade into the background.
Thank God, every day when I write about independent media, I see in the comments that Aradis say positive things have happened since they started releasing Arad’s media content.
I’ve seen comments ranging from domestic and export sales orders to increased members in their businesses, and even gaining the positive attention of family and friends.
One person even wrote that before launching their independent media platform, no one in their family valued their opinion, but now they seek their advice and involve them in important matters.
I am happy with all these blessed events, and as long as you write that independent media has increased your sales and grown your wealth, I will write about its benefits every day, so that those who are committed do not waver and those who have not taken it seriously step forward.

6. Increasing Members for Enterprises
An enterprise can increase its members through two ways.
- Promoting Trade, especially by connecting with individuals interested in joining Arad Branding.
- Connecting with Inactive Aradi Traders, where the criterion for inactivity is not being present in the site news for four consecutive days.
Enterprise managers can message the following ID to receive contact information for these two groups.
7. Seemingly Logical Excuses, Rooted in Doubt About Trade
Some people present seemingly logical arguments in the comments that any uninformed person, upon hearing them, assumes them to be true. These arguments are along the lines of: "How can I increase my promotions when I have no sales?"
How did you spend money for 12 years on school, with no returns, and when they asked you for university fees again, you didn’t say, "How can I pay for university when school hasn’t brought me any money?"
How did you go to university and pay for the first year, yet didn’t say to the university, "When I haven’t made any money from the first year, how can I pay for the second?"
How did you finish four years of university, and even though they didn’t give you a job, you didn’t ask, "Where will I get the money to pay for a master’s degree?"
And right now, in all of our Iranian households, there are students, and we spend a lot of money on them, yet not once do we ask why we are spending this money, even though the past generations didn’t get anywhere with it.
Why do we stand so firm in falsehood, spending our money and time, selling everything we have, and going through so much trouble to ensure our children don’t fall behind in school and university, but when it comes to business, we come up with countless excuses and reasons not to act?
While the money spent on promotion is for services that employees perform for you to promote you—that is, to stimulate and elevate your brand—it’s not profit that goes into Arad’s pockets. But the money you spend on university and school is pure profit that goes straight into their pockets. It was only money for learning, which is why some of the wealthiest individuals are in educational institutions, from private schools to universities and educational publishing companies. Meanwhile, learning at Arad is free.
You pay money to many other places without any expectation, yet when it comes to business, you become hesitant.
All of this is part of the deception of Satan, because Satan has an unusual enmity with trade. And since God sees that you are stingy and miserly in the path of His tradition, but generous in the path of false traditions, He tightens your sustenance. And still, if there were another company besides Arad, I would have told you to go and give them money to help you grow in business. Or even go ahead and hire the very employees that Arad has employed to grow the businesses of its traders, but don’t give Arad any money. Instead, pay your own employees—but spend your money on growing your businesses and brands so that God sees that if money comes to you, you spend it in the path of His prophet’s tradition, not in the path of Satan’s tradition.
To all of you who have such thoughts, please, don’t increase your promotions.
With your outdated thinking, you won’t get anywhere.
Because you don’t believe that you will become a trader, you always enter the path of business with doubt, while in other false matters, you act with great certainty.
Don’t increase your promotions, but come and follow the free advice given in the Business School and the podcasts, and from this path, achieve profit in business.
Even this, most of you don’t do.

11. Provide your reasons if you claim to be truthful.
I have a word for the religious among you.
God has given promises regarding prayer, that if we perform it, certain good things will happen to us.
Most of these promises pertain to the Day of Judgment, which we have not yet witnessed.
Despite not having seen the fulfillment of these promises, we still invite our children and everyone we know to pray.
And when someone says, "But you haven't seen these promises come true," we reply, "If the Day of Judgment is true, then a great reward awaits us, and if it is false, we have lost nothing. But for those who don't pray, if the Day of Judgment is true, there is a painful punishment awaiting them."
We bring forth various reasons to invite people to prayer.
Now, my question for you is this.
Why do we promote prayer without having seen the promises fulfilled, yet when it comes to trade, we wait for the promises to come true first?
Hasn’t the same God who promised rewards for prayer also promised that nine-tenths of sustenance lies in trade?
Why don’t we say about trade, "If it is true, we will have gained, and if it is false, we have lost nothing"? Yet, for those of you who have abandoned trade, if it is true, you have made a huge mistake, and even now, as you are not engaging in business, you live in poverty and misery.
There are only three reasons.
- We have certainty in prayer, but not in trade.
I fundamentally believe that most of our religious people, including myself, cling to part of the religion while completely setting aside another part. As Mr. Vahid says, we live a caricature of life.
I wish we could both pray and firmly hold onto our business so that we could exemplify the men and women for whom no trade keeps them from the remembrance of God. - We are stingy and do not want others to enter into trade, or we want them to enter only after us so they won’t get ahead of us.
- We are cowardly and timid, easily shaken by the slightest remarks from those who have no impact on our growth, which is why we remain silent, fearing someone might say something to us.
Don’t break a nail.
I don’t blame the women in our group, but honestly, you, as a man leaving comments, saying: "I once told my family, and they insulted me, so I won’t say anything anymore."
Are you really that afraid of your family?
He acts as if, until recently, he was seated at the head of gatherings, receiving the kind of respect and honors reserved for kings and great men.
The person who insults you for inviting them to trade never valued you to begin with, and has likely been speaking behind your back as much as they please, and you are simply unaware.
And how much I admire our young people, like Mr. Ali Asghar Dolat, who, despite his young age, is on the path to becoming the head of his family due to promoting trade. I learned this from a comment made by this gentleman himself, who is still in his youth, and I’m sharing it with you.
Truly, all people are at a loss, except those who believe in the right path, act upon it, and sincerely encourage others to do the same, while remaining patient in their advice.
