The news on Monday, November 4

1. Policy Council Meeting 

⏱️ 18 minutes

2. Saturday Meeting with Mr. Vahid

In this meeting, with over 500 Aradis in attendance, Mr. Vahid offers advice on action-oriented behavior. I’m confident that everyone who watches this video will be inspired to take action.

Those who feel they struggle with a bit of procrastination and find it hard to take action should not miss this meeting.

 ⏱️ 60 minutes

We attended Mr. Talia’s meeting last night, and tonight at 10 PM, we’ll have a meeting with Mr. Ghorbani.

3. Overseas Offices in Azerbaijan and Afghanistan

Our overseas offices are ready to offer Aradi traders' products in their respective countries, supporting marketing and market development for them.

 ⏱️ 2 minutes

We spare no effort in promoting and building the brand of Iranian products in foreign markets.

Promotion-12 traders can directly benefit from all offices’ resources, and other traders with clients can coordinate to send their clients to our overseas offices for negotiations.

We need to believe that when we say "we," it means all of us as Aradis, with no separation of "me" and "you" or "us" and "you."

When you are part of Arad, you should be able to confidently state in your business negotiations that you have an office in Azerbaijan, one in Afghanistan, and that every overseas office associated with Arad is, in fact, your office as well.

If you leverage Arad’s resources in your negotiations, you’ll come to see what a precious asset it is to be a part of Arad.

4. Visit by Armenia’s Representative to Supply Factories

Foreign representatives visiting Iran hold business meetings with Promotion-9 traders and above.

Additionally, they visit factories partnered with Arad Branding and Promotion-12 traders to witness our power firsthand.

The more foreigners we can bring to Iran, the more we help grow Iran’s economy.

For this to happen, all Promotion-5 traders and above with the capacity to interact with foreign representatives should foster friendly relations with them, making their visits to Iran more comfortable.

The following video showcases Armenia’s representative visiting our supply factories’ capacities.

5. Arad Documentary

For anyone with sound reason, witnessing even a single success proves that they, too, can succeed. In Arad, we witness numerous achievements daily—though some showcase these to others, many keep them private 😎 to avoid jinxing, being asked for loans, paying commissions, or because they lack time for documentation.

Let’s enjoy this Arad Documentary together, concluding with a brief documentary crafted by Houshang Rahnama Matin.

9. We Are Delighted That Aradis Are Participating.

Dear ones, please note that the participation statistics we provide have a one-day delay; the figures in today’s report reflect data from the day before yesterday. This is because news is published on the website immediately, and it takes a full day to collect and compile the statistics.

If you recall, there were 1339 individuals with a participation rate of zero, and thankfully, the latest statistics show that this number has decreased to 1243—meaning 96 individuals have joined the initiative.

Download the names of the 1243 absentees

We have published the names of the absentees so that business owners and all those who know these individuals can speak with them and encourage them to return to participating in comments and tests. This way, they can regain access to the services and ensure their trade does not remain stagnant.

Eskandar Shahroudi wrote in yesterday’s comments:

Hello, please check why the 1339 individuals have become inactive. Has it always been this way since the beginning with Arad, or are there specific reasons for their indifference and inactivity? Thank you 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

We found this to be a reasonable inquiry and went to investigate.

From the 1339 individuals we had on our list, we reached the following statistics.

• 7 individuals left a comment once
• 2 individuals commented twice
• 1 individual commented four times
• 3 individuals commented seven times
• 1326 individuals did not leave any comments at all

We even reviewed the messages of 13 individuals, and all they contained was complaints and grievances.

Among these 1339 individuals

• 5 completed one lesson with the Red Light
• 1 completed one lesson with the Yellow Light and 3 lessons with the Red Light
• 1333 individuals did not take any tests from the Business School.

Now, the judgment is yours.

Anyone who lives even just one month with Arad becomes so enamored that they find it impossible to let go.

These individuals never truly committed to Arad; it was never the case that they fell in love and then lost interest.

We hope that even with the removal of their services, they will find a way to improve.

10. The Logic That Says: We Paid Money, So Our Services Should Not Be Discontinued.

Among the 1339 individuals whose services were terminated, we heard complaints from 78 of them yesterday.

We were so pleased by this, it’s hard to express.

Because previously they didn’t even pay attention to such matters, and now we are relieved to at least know that they are still engaged.

Their reasoning is simple: we paid money, and therefore, our services should not be removed.

First, we have stated many times that the money paid for services entirely covers employee costs and does not generate profit; the profit comes from the ten percent that traders pay to Arad after their business transactions.

Second, we know that those who only receive services and pay no attention to the training and website will not succeed in trade. After years of experience, we have yet to see a trader emerge successfully from such a mindset.

Third, once the contracts of these individuals who hold such beliefs expire, Arad will no longer collaborate with them.

Fourth, it’s sufficient for them to send us a ticket with a message stating their desire for services to be reinstated, and there will be no further discussion between us.

The message should be written as follows, filling in their name and surname in the blank.

“I, …, confirm that I do not implement any of my work programs according to Arad Branding’s guidance, and whatever the outcome of my work is, it is my responsibility. I receive only services from Arad Branding, and the results of these services are solely my responsibility. I have no complaints, criticisms, grievances, or objections against Arad Branding.”

They should simply submit this ticket to regain their services until the end of their contract period, and may we part ways amicably.

11. We Are Not in Conflict.

Yesterday, some dear individuals expressed their objections in the comments regarding the writer's remarks about teachers, asking why they were insulted.

God forbid.

Where did you see such behavior from me?

I said that if you believe that a teacher provides knowledge beneficial for this world or the hereafter, may God have mercy on them and may God bless them. 

And if it is not so, may God condemn them.

If you believe the former, then the writer has wished mercy for the teachers. But if you believe the latter, do you expect me to wish mercy for someone who has squandered people's lives on useless knowledge?

How do you judge?

And a dear one wrote that the teacher is not to blame; they are obligated and compelled to teach this way.

I have a question, dear one.

Who has forced them to be a teacher?

Has a gun been held to their temple, or have their family members been taken hostage?

They chose to become a teacher of their own accord and could have opted not to if they saw the structure was flawed.

Imam Reza (peace be upon him) says that an assignee is not excused because they have willingly made themselves a servant to another, while God created them free. Therefore, anyone who obeys an unjust order from their superior shares in that injustice, and no excuse will be accepted from them.

Dear ones

You are traders.

And two-thirds of intelligence lies in commerce.

It is unbecoming to speak based on the logic and reasoning of the masses.

The pressure in the comments is meant to cultivate your intellect, so before you write anything, ponder it in your mind, and let only that which the wise and discerning endorse flow from your pen.

May God bless us and you, as we grow wiser in the path of commerce each day.

From this platform, I send my greetings and mercy to all teachers across Iran who strive to elevate the intellect of our children or enhance their livelihoods. I pray that God gathers them with His finest creations and, for those who misuse their position as educators to exploit people, mislead the youth of this land, and waste their lives, I implore divine wrath and punishment upon them.

And anyone who feels they cannot provide a good service should resign.

They might ask, "What should I do if I resign?"

Trade.

God has made trade the profession of the free and noble.

A trader is not a servant; they are someone who wants to give a reward and also gives orders, not someone who wants to receive a reward and submit to commands.

12. How Can We Enchant Customers?

Three lessons from the business school (Lesson 90, 91, and 92) are a workshop where Mr. Talia elaborates on customer enchantment, explaining how enchantment affects merchants' wealth and how to enchant them, as well as what actions to avoid to prevent losing that enchantment.

I do not intend to add any lessons or discussions to Mr. Talia's words; I just want to remind everyone of the divine decree that reminding the believers brings them benefit. I urge all of you esteemed merchants to strive to enchant your customers.

If you want to enchant customers, know that enchantment does not align with playing it safe.

What does playing it safe mean?

Playing it safe means being in a position where you are neither on the left nor on the right.

You neither affirm logic A nor logic B.

Saying that everyone is good is playing it safe.

For example, this phrase belongs to those who play it safe: "God loves all His servants."

God Himself says: "I do not love the traitors." (Al-Anfal 58)

God does not love the corrupt. (Al-Ma'idah 64)

God does not love the oppressors. (Al-Imran 57)

God does not love those who exceed the limits. (Al-Baqarah 190)

God does not love the ungrateful. (Al-Baqarah 276)

God does not love those who boast and show off. (An-Nisa 36)

God does not love the wasteful. (Al-A'raf 31)

God does not love those who bring others down and are arrogant towards them. (An-Nahl 23)

God does not love the arrogant. (Al-Qasas 76)

God does not love the disbelievers. (Ar-Rum 45)

People who possess such traits, whom God explicitly states He does not love, make up a percentage of the population.

God Himself says, "I do not love them," but some individuals say, "God loves everyone" because they want to speak in a way that appeals to all.

These individuals will never be able to enchant customers.

Do not play it safe.

A merchant can enchant customers only if their values and principles are clear.

They should shout out their beliefs.

For instance, we have some merchants among us who, when we criticize the stock market, say, "Don't criticize the stock market; they are good too."

"Don’t criticize cryptocurrencies; they are good too."

They want to keep everyone satisfied.

They are like those horoscope readers who claim there is no bad in anyone.

Have you ever found a horoscope reader who said, for example, that certain months give rise to filthy and vile individuals?

You won’t find it.

Everything they say is about the good.

If they want to mention something negative, they might say, "The flaw of those born in this month is that they are too good."

My God.

So, which of the many thieves, scammers, and vile individuals we see in this world are born in which months?

If you want to enchant customers, clearly define your business principles and shout them out loud.

You must firmly state how you are and how you are not.

Some will fall in love with you, while others will dislike you.

By playing it safe, while no one may dislike you, no one will love you either, and they will not go out of their way to collaborate with you.

Have you seen anyone sacrifice themselves for astrology and fortune-telling websites?

Have you seen anyone give their all for those who play it safe?

But you do see that there are those who passionately love individuals who present clear logic and reasons.

On the other hand, since their principles oppose those of another group, they also have enemies and ill-wishers, which is a natural part of the situation.

So, remember two things for enchantment.

1. Create an environment where your customers can hear your arguments and logic.
2. Express your viewpoints clearly and do not worry about losing some people; rather, know that you will enchant others.

Unfortunately, during the month of Muharram this year, most Iranian brands had no reaction to the mourning of the Master and Lord of Martyrs.

They felt that if they did so, a number of their followers would drop off.

They do not realize that if they at least darkened their website, another group would passionately support them.

These brands constantly try to play it safe so that as they say, no one gets hurt.

Whereas Arad firmly and openly states its positions, whether some like it or not.

If you look at Arad's behavior, it shows self-sufficiency from customers.

Any brand that can demonstrate that it is truly self-sufficient from its customers will attract people more passionately.

If people feel that the growth of your business brand is in their hands, they will distance themselves from you.

13. Second Contact of Business Enterprises with People Interested in Entering Commerce

The second stage of discussions with those interested in entering commerce and Arad Branding is about discussing the fundamentals of trade.

In the first call, we talked about money and income, clarifying that we are not the stock market, cryptocurrency, a bank, or an investment scheme. Instead, we are a genuine profession that, coincidentally, has high income potential. It is a profession where, as mentioned, God has placed nine-tenths of the world’s wealth: commerce. We then invite the person to watch Arad Branding’s 60-second videos, and a few days later—preferably between 2 to 4 days—we follow up with a second call to continue the conversation.

In this call, the focus is on the fundamentals of commerce.

The fundamentals of commerce involve discussing the advantages of commerce over other professions.

The primary advantage is financial, as God has allocated 90% of the world’s wealth to commerce.

Here, audience awareness is crucial. If the person has religious beliefs, guide them using relevant teachings and religious sayings. If they are less inclined toward this perspective, provide historical and logical evidence seen globally, such as examples of professions in advanced countries, the wealth of individuals reported in reputable economic magazines, and the insights Professor Taghsimi shared in his classes.

The second advantage of commerce is intellectual growth, as God has placed two-thirds of wisdom in business, leaving others deprived of this growth.

The third advantage is job security, as a businessperson is never unemployed.

The fourth advantage is autonomy; in commerce, no one is an authority over you.

The fifth advantage is flexibility in time and location.

The sixth advantage is social status and standing.

The seventh advantage is networking with prominent figures from both Iran and abroad.

And the writer could go on endlessly about the advantages.

And it’s up to you to decide which benefit to mention first and which can be saved for later.

The discussion on the fundamentals of commerce may not fit into one call and may require multiple conversations. However, we aim to cover everything in the second call.

At the end of this call, it’s recommended to send some videos to the individual.

Lesson 28 from the Business School titled ad Arad Branding: A Path to Wealth, featuring Mr. Talia’s insights, and Lesson 139 titled as When Economy Becomes Faith, featuring Mr. Vahid’s insights, could be very helpful for them.

You can download these videos or send the links below.

There are additional files from the Business School that can help people gain a better understanding of the fundamentals of commerce, which you may also send to them.

14. Who is the requirement for leaving comments for?

We are grateful to God for the blessings that this requirement for comments and tests has brought.

Beyond enhancing our reasoning, negotiation, and communication skills, how do you feel seeing hundreds of us gathered together?

Doesn’t our assembly break the schemes of the adversaries?

Don’t you take pride in seeing our numbers grow?

Would you feel happier if the number of comments increases, or if it drops to below 20 or 30 comments per post?

Put yourself in the shoes of a newcomer.

If someone new visits the site and sees only 20 comments under each article, what would their reaction be?

It only takes an uninformed relative to tell them, “You made a mistake by entering this business; it’s all a scam,” and their heart will sink.

However, when they see that over a thousand people are commenting every day, their confidence will strengthen, and they won’t fall for the nonsense of a few.

Therefore, the requirement for comments is for Aradi members to unite their hearts and strengthen their commitment to commerce.

Don’t you genuinely enjoy knowing that with just one comment, you might instill divine resolve in someone else?

So view the requirement for commenting as a means of honoring all Aradi members and commit yourself to it.

When God sees your goodwill towards a group of Muslims, He will also bless your own businesses.

I’ve had numerous opportunities to become a trader myself, but I found that through my writing, I can better contribute to the growth of commerce in our land. So I write.

Every day as I write, I say, “Oh God, my intention is to strengthen a group of Muslims in the way of Your Prophet and to refute those who try to deter them from commerce, making it clear to others, especially newcomers, that those who steer them away from trade are allies of Satan.”

In various narrations, Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) stated that abandoning commerce leads to a deficiency in intellect and is an act of Satan.

All of you know that we, as Aradi members, do not support commerce anywhere else, and outside of this site, most people consider trade to be undesirable or impossible.

Thus, it is best that we encourage one another.

I recommend that whenever you want to leave a comment, you intend to do so with God, hoping that this comment might help someone become more resolute in their trade or, if they do not read it, at least contribute to the number of comments so that our collective testimony may reassure them.

Finally, if you are a trader, be sure to include your product name and the name of your city alongside your full name. If you are a business owner, mention your enterprise name and position, as an empty name detracts from your credibility. Otherwise, people may think a stranger has come to this site and left a comment.

In summary, all of you Aradi members have names, titles, and identities, and it is not fitting to write your name without your title because people may think you hold no position since you did not include it.

15. Results of the 1719 Aradi Traders Test

The main reason for the poor score yesterday among Aradis was a question that asked how Aradi traders compared to society on the first day. The correct answer was that they were similar to the general population, but many responded that they were worse off than society.

However, the large number of Aradi members who participated in yesterday's test indicates that they are taking the tests seriously.

We hope that not achieving a perfect score does not discourage anyone and that we continue with enthusiasm.

The strong commitment from Arad has led to the number of test-takers rising from over a thousand to 1719, which is promising.

The number of comments is also increasing daily, and all of this points to a brighter future with greater wealth.

16. Results of the 833 Business Enterprise Owners Test

Business enterprise owners, thank God, are improving their efforts every day.

Both their numbers are increasing, and they are achieving more remarkable results.
