— Are there any facets that prevent you from working?

- Yes, there are technical problems. Because after the population uses the mass Internet, we can say that the network is weak.

But despite the fact that we were able to reach a lot of people in the Online format, we have our advantages. Because when you meet an audience, you will find out who they are and what their purpose is. And when we applied through a social network, not knowing who exactly is sitting behind it, causes distrust.

- What are the other features of working in Online format?

— As for comparing a live broadcast with an offline seminar, the seminar will cover an audience that will gather for approximately one purpose. And, of course, we are talking about the necessary topics that correspond to the degree of audience. And since the online format represents a diverse audience, there will be several topics. This is probably the main feature of the online mode.

After the broadcast, the participants thanked the participants and expressed their gratitude: "if you spend regularly, go to TV. Currently, the population needs spiritual nutrition, " the report says. This means that we used to reach an audience that did not attend many seminars, lectures, mosques, or did not attend for certain reasons.
