The message of the Karbala network is not limited to reforming the social dimension, but also advances in what it propagates and emphasizes the authenticity of Hosseini’s legacy, and through its media-cultural mission conveys cultures and literary history in a way that fits the language of the new age.

The first question of this research was: What is the role of Karbala network in reviving Hosseini’s heritage?

The purpose of this study is to highlight the role of satellite channels, especially Shiite channels, in reviving the most important popular heritage, namely Hosseini’s heritage; It also intends to acquaint the audience with the nature of this heritage and its social importance in the world. As always, Hosseini’s media and its reforming role are not limited to a single dimension, but encompass all aspects of the revival of the human spirit – both in this world and its afterlife – and thus the role of the Karbala network is manifested in several places that have a religious and ideological dimension. It is at the top because this dimension is the basis of human life and leads him to the right path; Because man was not created just for games, entertainment and fun.

 In this dissertation, the researcher has used the research method of thematic analysis, which is to collect the works of a group of experts and thinkers in the field of media and politics on a topic or issue, in the form of several questions related to the topic and trying to find answers. The main purpose of analytical research is to describe the study population and different types of content.

This research has reached several conclusions, including that the Karbala network broadcasts a series of television programs that contain reformist ideas for society; In addition, the Karbala network seeks to promote peaceful coexistence and rapprochement between religions through its moderate programs and voice and its humanitarian messages. The results showed that several non-Muslim countries also follow this network, which is due to the educational, training and cultural content of this network, which is based on the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) tradition, and also due to the use of advanced techniques in the Karbala network. This makes it one of the leading satellite channels among local satellite channels.
