In the current era, the enemy's soft warfare against Islamic societies is accompanied by "media doubts." These doubts do not explicitly deny the truth; rather, they create an atmosphere of ambiguity and distrust by raising unanswered questions and casting suspicion on certain information. This research aims to extract objective and common strategies from the Holy Quran and Nahj al-Balaghahparticularly Imam Ali's (AS) practical conduct in the battles of Jamal, Siffin, and Nahrawanto immunize people intellectually and behaviorally against such doubts during soft warfare. Using textual analysis, the study identifies four strategies and, for the first time, clarifies the role of each in neutralizing the destructive functions of media doubts amid soft warfare. The novelty of this research lies in two aspects: first, the explicit connection between Quranic verses and narratives with real-world soft warfare scenarios, such as rumors of troop retreat, fabricated news of civilian collaboration with the aggressor enemy, or undermining the legitimacy of just defense. Second, providing a step-by-step model that calls on both the public and officials to engage in proactive monitoring and field-based fact-checking before taking any action. The findings demonstrate that the four strategies"self-audit of faculties," "fact-checking doubts," "source-criticism of knowledge," and "choosing truthful speech" can offer a practical framework for safeguarding society against the enemy's combined (hard and soft) offensive.
