Human history has always been the scene of confrontation between the followers of the two camps of truth and falsehood, and avoidance and opposition to the truth are among the most deep-rooted moral and social afflictions in human societies. Considering the persistence of this confrontation in the present age and the need of human communities to provide practical strategies for resisting the camp of falsehood, this study aims to systematically explain the factors of truth-opposition from the perspective of the Qur’an—as a charter for attaining a prosperous life—and to propose educational solutions for its prevention and treatment.
This research has been conducted through a descriptive–analytical method with an educational–ethical approach, using library-based data collection. The findings indicate that the Holy Qur’an identifies multiple factors as causes of truth-aversion and truth-opposition among the followers of falsehood, which can be categorized into four groups:
• Cognitive factors (such as ignorance and blind imitation),
• Affective factors (such as arrogance and following desires),
• Behavioral factors (such as persistence in committing sins), and
• External factors (such as satanic temptations and corrupt companionship).
By analyzing these factors and their impact on human beings, the present article seeks to provide the necessary grounds for offering educational strategies to prevent falling into the trap of truth-opposition and to remedy it. The results of this study can serve as Qur’anic foundations for educational, ethical, and cultural planning aimed at confronting the camp of falsehood and strengthening the inclination toward truth.
