Abstract

From the Islamic point of view, society or communal environment is one of the most imperative factors and contexts in which human personality is formed. The social environment in diverse societies is constantly changing and adapting to the requirements of time and place. In today's world of communication and the age of propaganda, the media has an important place in depicting social ideals and culture. Wide global networks play a central role in shaping public opinion. The religion of Islam has always paid attention to the Islamic way of life and has provided guidelines for aspects of human life that can guide man on the path of growth. Community agents and intellectuals in the fields of behavior and society, due to the rapid changes in society and factors such as the emergence of new ways of life, changing attitudes and norms of life and the emergence of socio-ethical issues, pay exceptional consideration to the need to promote lifestyle; moreover, they have experienced the desired society of Islamic culture. The issue raised here is the role of the application of visual arts in promoting a social lifestyle based on the Qur'an and Sunnah.
