The Current Iranian society is confronted with many social, cultural and economic issues which is the result of being away from the healing Holy Quran. Nowadays, the problem is that some of the religious people are gradually moving away from religion, and in a coherent and integrated religious society, money, power, and reputation are replacing generosity, amenity, and anonymity, leading to a social breakdown. This article aims to find the most important cause of this condition by referring to the Quran verses, using qualitative research methods. The findings indicate that the process of "secularism" is the cause of the occurrence of the aforementioned situation. In the logic of the Qur'an, secular life can change the religious people from the main purpose of religion and turn toward the means and directions of secularism as a new goal. Secularism begins with slight neglect of the goal and gradually becomes a collective and often irreversible phenomenon. Among the implications of the secularism, one can refer to the defect in religious socialization, social deviation, social rupture, conflict with religion and religious people, and ultimately, the decline of religiosity.

In order to overcome passivity against the spreading vulgar culture and to implement the doctrine of globalization of Islamic culture, subjective criteria of the missionaries should be avoided. This seriously need a standardized model of religious sources. Therefore, This study aims is to extract and elaborate the agency pattern of the social influence of religion relying on the teachings of the Qur'an and using the content quality analysis and grounded theory. The findings show that the obtained pattern has two practical and theoretical dimensions. The theoretical indicators include expertise, knowledge of the (cultural, social, economic, political and international) conditions, recognition of the audience and recognition of the personal roles. Practical indicators include faith, fidelity, confidence in the presentation, endurance and sustainability and coordination with the audience. Results reveal that there is a direct relationship between the social influence of the religion and the degree of their proximity and similarity with the pattern of social influence agency of the religion in the teachings of the Qur'an through each of the agents; so that the more proximity and similarity are, the more social influence of the religion is and the less proximity and similarity are, the less social influence of the religion is.
