Humans look both at individual life and their social life, and these perspectives are not confined to the pillars that are provided throughout the life of a generation, but also from the perspective of the people of different generations. Perspectives on distant future generations and futuristic features, which does not seem to be obvious to an ordinary man, but future generations will be watching what we do. By analyzing the process of selecting and choosing a vision, one can conclude that the factors that influence the choice of vision are facilities, as well as the realm of relationships and real needs of humans. And if human beings become aware of in their true scope or impact, their possibilities and real realm of their relationships, they do not consent to nothing less than the sovereignty of God in all aspects of life and existential dimensions, and then, a sense of the need for the Rule of the Innocent Imam sprouts in them and when deprived of such a pleasure, they choose it as their vision and try to reach to the fullest of this. And this vision is the same as the high point mentioned in the Quran and Sunnah as the Mahdaviyyat thought. In the present paper, we will try to provide a description of the process based on an educational approach in which a person chooses such an outlook and strives to achieve it.

The present essay studies the important issue of Mahdaviyyat (Mahdaviat) position among the sunnite people. This position is marked by two basic elements: raquo: messianism and laquo: the succession of sayings in Mahdaviat.This succession that sometimes followed by same interpretations such as currency profusion,currency reputation,currency multiplicity ,justified due to various sources of saying such as Sahah,Traditions,Compositions,Comunities and sides and ..... due to quotations of many sunnite scientists and sages like Ubri ,Safarini,Katani,Shookani,Barzanji,GHonuji,Saban and ... .Messianism which is interpretated as Mahdaviyyat credence ,has been accepted and cited by all the sunnite people and most of their scholars .Justification of messianism and Mahdaviyyat credence from sunnite point of view ,has following reasons:1-Denial of Mahdaviyyat is denial of the mission of the prophet of Islam(PBUH).2-The confirmation of the divine news of Islam prophet (PBUH)including Mahdaviat news is necessary.3-Belief in Ashratossaat (resurrection indications) including the advent of Imam Mahdi(AS) is necessary

Sociological and historical studies indicate that "security" is the most important need of any society at any time, and hence it is the people's first expectation from the rulers, which has wide and various dimensions. The influence of security from culture, economy, and population, and also its effect on all aspects and on the scope of human life, has given it a special role and function.Therefore, it can be said clearly that security is one of the fundamental foundations to development and extension of society and also one of the foundations of the formation and continuity of government, and its dimensions, individual and social security as the basis of the individual and community life, are the preconditions for any kind of growth, prosperity, and material and spiritual uplift.After all governments that have been formed so far, and after this, the global and just government of Imam Mahdi (pbuh), as the most inclusive government that people are waiting for, is not out of this procedure, and in this global government, the provision of inclusive security has a special and great value to reach The great goal of the righteous and the end which make happiness to the life.In some traditions, some symbols and manifestations are stated for this provision and learning. Such as: Peaceful life of some predators with some animals, which seems to have been conveyed mostly under the influence of texts of the people of the Book and through the Sunni sources.This article attempts to investigate and criticize narrations in this regard by following some of the claims mentioned above, which led to the acknowledgment of the importation of the narrative symbols of security from non-Islamic texts and especially texts of the people of the Book.

This research seeks to present a perspective on Shiite trends that tend to have a particular conceptualization of savior (Mahdi). Originated in the course of the earlier Presence, a time when the formation of various coherent and non-coherent sects was followed, many of them believed in a special edition to the belief in Mahdiism. They also provided a special concept of Mahdi, but they did not last long, most of which disappeared at the time and could not have a long life. Meanwhile, other enduring Shiite sects such as Zaidi and Ismailis, who believed in a specific case of Mehdi, reconsidered their views, and they believed in specific ideas in the realm of Imamate, among which only Imamieh (Twelvers) have become the mainstream who not only kept their interest in the idea of savior, but also came to formulate a specific conceptualization of Mahdaviyyat that stood the test of time and remained in history.

Kaysanites were among the first groups who indicated a definite person, Muhammad b. Hanafiyya, as the promised man to be reappeared which has been mentioned in the hadiths of Prophet Muhammad (s). They were among the first groups in Islamic sects who paid enormous attention to Mahdiism. As a result, analyzing and reassessing believing in Mahdi (a) and Mahdiism in Kaysanites in the aspect of process and evolution would generally help improving evolutionary studies in the history of Shi'ism. The goal of the present paper is describing the situation of believing in Mahdiism among Kaysanites from the demise of Muhammad b. Hanafiyya in 81 A.H. until the demise of his son, 'Abd Allah, known as Abu Hashim in 98 A.H. This paper will use the remained books of Kaysanites as well as historical and religious books related to the mentioned topic.

The belief in the uprising of the promised savior (Mahdi) is a common cause between original Shiite and Sunni as the main denominations of Islam. This belief can only become realized if we firstly have those expectations and, secondly, provide the grounds for it. The present article seeks to address these two categories in the narratives. Due to many traditions in this regard, the present article, except in rare cases, refers only to authentic narrations and refuses to quantify the various traditions of the weak source. This research seeks to show that the expectation of the savior in both denominations is a common issue overall, and even any negative impression or some replies to critiques has been documented in narratives of both denominations (not just Shia). The necessity of laying the foundation for the savior is even clear for non-believers in the case of Mahdaviyyat. In the continuation of the existence of groups that always seek for the truth and provide the basis for the emergence based on the traditions, accounts of what will happen, have been fixed and characterized for them, such as the onset of the uprising from the East and the end of it in Jerusalem, the intimidation of the existing opposition, the last battle with the leading Antichrist with Imam Mahdi aided by the companionship of Jesus Christ. At the end of the article, the narration of Qom's man can also be interpreted as the invitation of Ayatollah Khomeini who gave an opinion that exporting the revolution can be created by promoting three important issues of pure Islam, independence and democracy. Thus, the recent allegations of Muhammad bin Salman goes against all these facts and it only expresses his own phobia of Iranians and Shi'ite people.

"The effect of Mahdism on individual and social acts" is trying to address the question that: "with belief in Mahdism, what changes and influences may occur in individual and social behaviors?" The hypothesis that is tested in this paper is the phrase that: "Providing a correct explanation of the belief in Mahdism can lead to a profound transformation in behaviors in such a way as to accelerate the progress of human perfection and prosperity and provide the basis for the emergence of Imam Mahdi (AJ)." These developments are in the field of revival and Individual thoughts include: development and deepening of knowledge, hoping for a bright future, having a fear of tendency toward falsehood, building both friendship and hostility in the way of God, making great effort, having patience and endurance, keeping on praying for religious reasons and expecting the justice by coming of Imam Mahdi (AS). In the social sphere, too, the results are: the movement towards the spread of justice and the elimination of oppression, the teaching of the thought of Mahdism and energy building, the confrontation with the deviant teachings, the establishment of the divine government, the provision of security for the Imam (AS).

Imam Mahdi's Analytical Genealogy from the Viewpoint of Shia and Sunni

Although the issue of Mahdaviyyat and the advent of Imam Mahdi (AS) at the end of the day are Shi'a and Sunni consensus, there are differences of opinion between the two in some of the themes of the Prophet. One of the controversies is the discussion of the birth of Imam Mahdi (aj). The consensus of the Shi'a and some of the Sunni people, based on the subsequent narrations, is that the Prophet is the descendant of the Prophet (pbuh) and the descendant of Fatima Zahra (sa) and of the descendants of Imam Hussein (AS). They also believe that he is the son of Imam Hasan Askari (AS). However, some Sunni people, especially those who do not have the opposite and even the hostility to followers of the Ahlul-Bayt (AS), sometimes doubt that they are from the descent of Abbas ibn Abdulmutallab, not from the Etruth and Ahlul Bayt (AS). Sometimes they say that he is from the generation of Imam Hassan Mojtaba (AS), not from the generation of Imam Hussein (AS). They also say that his father's name is Abdullah, not Imam Hasan Askari (AS). They have documented such doubts into some of the traditions that will be verified by the examination of their scriptures and documents, which are all mursal and narcissistic, and with special motivations by the perpetrators of history (especially in the age of the Abbasids) From the perspective of the Persian (Shi'a and many Sunni), they are untrustworthy and are considered news stories.

It is believed that the recent era has revived the flourishing of Mahdi's belief among the Zaidis, especially the Zaidan of Yemen. This reveals the need to address the teachings of Mahdiism and to answer the doubts of the followers of Zaidi in the early centuries of Islam. Although a small number of Zaidians resemble to Imamieh about Mahdi's thoughts, the essential element of their beliefs, is faulty: a superficial form of the precept of ‘inviting to the good’ and ‘discouraging from the bad acts’ which only means a jihad with the sword. Hence, this sect does not have much faith in personal Mahdism, and in particular the "absence of Imam", and they consider the essence of Mahdism in the welfare and social justice supported by religion, and because of the tendency towards the thought of ‘Etezalieh’. There are also narratives against this superficial conceptualization which they do not pay much attention to it. The Mahdism in this group has suffered many deficiencies throughout history, which has caused the complexity and ambiguity of this doctrine. The main question that this study tries to address is that: What are the main doubts that Zaidieh has had on the teachings of Mahdism and how can belief in this Shiite principle be defended against the misunderstandings? There are doubts such as the possibility of inaccuracy and fictitiousness of narratives about the twelve Imams, the impossibility of recognizing the Imam Mahdi and as a result, in his absence, the lack of justifiable reason in the absence of the Imams in the presence of the blessed features in the twelfth Imam, and the absence of an explicit evidence in holy texts about the imamate of Mahdi. In spite of its rational necessity for Imam, we try to address these doubts – that promote the abandonment of belief in savior and hidden Imam - according to Sheikh Sadoogh's intellectual and transcendental views.

Mahdaviyyah and the emergence of the Savior, as two sub-divisional issues of Imamate and Caliphate, are among the most significant theological issues for all schools of thought in Islam, resulting in a range of volumes throughout the ages. This article surveys the position of Ibāḍiyya on the doctrine of Mahdaviyyah.Very different to Imāmi scholars, Ibāḍis not only have related nothing noteworthy regarding Mahdaviyyah, but also they have gone forth to almost deny it.They have merely relied on some Sunni traditions, recognizing a typical approach and not a character-based one towards Mahdaviyyah, as well as the conditions of the End of the World, what discussed for the first time in this article. Of course, one of the reasons of such a negligence by Ibāḍis could be their special method of categorizing the issue of Imamate into four levels of: Emergence (Dhuhoor), Defense (Difāā), Shirāā (Purchase) and Kitmān (Denial) which, despite some commonalities with Imāmiyya school, leaves no space for discussing the Promised Savior.In sum, anticipations like rising the sun from the west, revolt of Dajjāl, uprising of Yajooj and Majooj and etc. as the conditions of the End of the World could be compared with some similar Shia traditions about Mahdaviyya.

Media in a positive perspective is a useful mean at service of religious teachings. One of the transcendental doctrines that is accepted amongst different denominations of Islam is the belief of Mahdaviyyat; however, there are the minor differences on this principle. Adopting appropriate strategies should be considered a priority for administrators who manage media policies in order to benefit of Mahdaviyyat’s potential. Seeking for an opportunity by means of this pure and common capacity between different sects of Islam shows the necessity of programming about. As a result, it makes to achieve unity and proximity among denominations, and it also helps to get rid of religious problems and disagreements. Eventually, the need for such an approach is to commit to a set of ethical standards that are socially acceptable and based on the culture of target’s community. This study attempts to follow the ethical norms of the media in Mahdaviyyat in three ethical aspects with the descriptive-analytical method: approaches, methods and explanation and processing with focusing on unity of denominations.

The work of Mahdaviyyat in modifying individual and social behaviors

2018
per
In explaining the function of thought of Mahdaviyyat, its functions in modifying individual and social behaviors can be mentioned and considered as one of the most important functions. Because the thought of Mahdaviyyat is based on the verbal foundations. These foundations can create values and, consequently, create norms, behaviors and actions. They are effective on the individual and social behaviors modification and accordingly create appropriate individual and social behaviors. Acts and behaviors are one of the most important and effective layers of culture. In fact, normative acts and behaviors are inspired by insights and values and their reflection. Mahdaviyyat though in modifying individual and social behaviors is useful at three levels: A) at the external level of religion, with an emphasis on savior; according to this approach, for the personal and social behavior formation and modification, the belief in the promised savior is suggested, and in this context, such solutions as: relying on the common interfaith belief; identity and values and common norms between religions followers. B) At the inner level of religion, emphasizing the common idea of Islamic religions in believing in Mahdaviyyat; in this view the modification of individual and social behavior, the concept of expectation has a great importance. In this way such approaches is suggested: Behavior that consists hope; commitment and responsibility; faith and piety; and modifying behavior on the basis of patience and sustainability. C) At the Shia religion level, with emphasis on the thought of the province and Imamat; with this approach for modifying the individual and social behavior, belief and certainty of the existence of God's authority on the earth is considered, and in this context such approaches like modifying the Individual and social behaviors, based on the teachings of Imamat, on the basis of the supervision of Imam Mahdi; and involve the formation of individual and social behaviors on the basis of the characteristics to create epiphany conditions and so on.

Idealism and Medina of the utopia were one of the longstanding concerns of mankind that even involved the minds of the philosophers. In Islamic religion, addressing this aspiration forms one of the main axes and can be found in many studies with the apocalyptic approach. In the Holy Qur'an, as the most important and authoritative source of Islamic writing, this point is not neglected, and many verses can be found in the ideal city. In this article, from another angle, this issue is investigated in the Holy Qur'an, and the principle of this phenomenon is based on the analysis of two Qur'a nic experiences of Adam and the city of Israel, and the possibility of repeating it again in the Apocalypse, based on verses Another of the Quran has been reviewed and proved.

The Role of Mahdaviyyat in Rejecting Nihilism and Changing Viewpoint to the Life

per
Recently, Nihilism and doctrine saying life is meaningless have been raised by some scholars, especially from occident world. They have attempted to explain the denial or lack of belief towards the reputedly meaningful aspects of life philosophically. They also have tried to render reasons in order to reject any hope to life and clear future for human beings. A nihilist considers some problems such as sufferings, disasters, death and unclear future after death, serious challenges for being life meaningful. As a result, according to their lack of ability to scheme a big picture of human’s future, they inevitably accept that this world is exclusive in temporary pleasures. Thus, nihilists have started to present theories in order to justify this pointlessness aspect of human’s life, or they have suggested suicide to get rid of sufferings. In contrast to Absurdism and Nihilism, believers to the meaningful and significant of life present various arguments; however, there is no a unanimity between their attitudes. One of these attitudes is Supernaturalism, which is supported by divine religions. The thought of Mahdaviyyat not only accepts Supernaturalism in the field of meaningful of life but also believes in human’s relationship with the unseen world, revelation and heavens through Imamat. This belief is called Mahdaviyyat or the thought of waiting for the reappearance of twelfth Imam (AJ) during the occultation of innocence Imam (AS).This research studies the effect of Mahdaviyyat and its function on changing viewpoints towards life and universe. In addition, this investigation critically analyses Absurdism and Nihilism. The results of the research show that however, various perspectives about meaningful of life can present the issue of life expectancy, the belief of Mahdaviyyat and the issue of waiting for promised savior have more practical. Moreover, it has a more spiritual effect on human’s life in compared with alternative views.

It is of those common Mahdavi doctrines, derived from 33rd verse of Chapter al-Towbah, that Allah shall perfect his light and the religion of Islam shall prevail over all religions. The Shiite and the Sunnite prominent exegetes have a lot in common in this respect. Most of the Shiite and the Sunnite exegetes are of the view that the verse ‘لِیُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّینِ کُلِّهِ’ [the true religion that He may make it prevail over all religions], signifies an objective overcome which have not been fulfilled yet. A great number of Shiite exegetes, taking recourse to the traditions, have pointed to Imam Mahdi’s appearance and hold that the true religion will overcome other religions exclusively in the era of Imam Mahdi [a.s]. Sudai, being one of the followers of the prophet’s companions, in commenting the very verse, believes what the Shiite exegeses favor most. Thus, most of the Sunnite exegetes who have found this interpretation more logical and justifiable, related this point from him. The experts hold disagreeing accounts on whether or not he belonged to a Shiite or Sunnite denomination. Due to Sudai’s scholarly position, his historical precedence, and his characteristics, it will be of high significance to explain his exegetical account for he can play a vital part in bringing the Islamic sects closer to Mahdavi doctrine. Therefore, the current paper, following descriptive-explanatory methods, attempts to shed light on his biography, and his exegetical account on verse 33 of Chapter al-Towbah. The writer holds that it can be a step forward in seeking proximity to the Shiite's and Sunnite’s fundamental principles on the issue of Imam Mahdi (a.s). The researcher applies the Quran by Quran exegetical method in explaining the meanings of ‘perfection’, ‘its philosophy’ and etc. it will be unfolded that the meaning of ‘blessing’ in the verse of perfection [Maidah: 3], is the divine authority and its completion means the authority of the prophet and those vested with authority among you. What is meant by divine light is the divine authority and its completion means establishment of a divine state in the whole universe. This promise, the prevail of Islam over all other religions, will be fulfilled in the era of Imam Mahdi and his appearance.

The occupation of Sacred Mosque (masjed alharam) on 1/1/1400 Hijri with the hands of Mohtasaba Salafi Crowd and homage with apocalyptic Mahdi opened a new page in the history of contemporary Salafism and Islamic world issues. One of the unique features of this uprising which was shaped against Saudi rulers was homage with a person who was called Maoud Mahdi in Islamic narratives. This article is an descriptive interpretive attempt for comprehension of existing idealogic and doctrinal basis in Wahhabi thought which was ultimately result in uprising against Muslim ruler and homage with Mahdi for deliverance from seditions. Here there are needs for indicating their viewpoints about Apocalypse and its seditions, station of dream and exclusion of rescue in Mahdi uprising. Then the influence of this uprising over Saudi regime will be illustrated. The change of consumption pattern and Westernism and more eyewash to religion and increase of propaganda against Shia and Iran was the most important influences of this uprising in domestic and international approach of Saudi government.

The existential philosophy of Imam Mahdi (AS) can be studied in the two fields of "religious" and "developmental". The field named as developmental includes the fields of ontology, epistemology, and the like. Regarding the necessity of studying the issue of Mahdaviyyat as a branch of the issue of Imamate on the one hand and the institutionalization of the concept of salvation in the institution of all human beings, on the other hand, the present paper explains the ontological function of the Imam of Time (aj) . It is clear from this passage that in the narrations of the Ahl al-Bayt (as) in explaining the position of divine authority in the system of being, in addition to social affairs, the explanation of the ontological significance of divine authority in the world of thought is also discussed and the analysis presented In transcendental philosophy and mysticism. The notion of the providence and the perfect man is compatible with the system of Imams. Divine power in the worldly universe has the potential of three important ontological functions, including mediation in divine grace, ultimate causation, and manifestation of divine names and attributes.

With the advent of Imam Mahdi (AS) some cities and regions are particularly affected by apocalyptic transformations, in addition to the scientific and cultural developments which generally occur in the global context. In the Shamat (Levant) area, especially the city of Jerusalem, one of the most dramatic events that is predicted to occur in the sudden presence of Imam Mahdi (AS). The battle with Sufyani, the descent of Jesus Christ or Isa Bin Maryam (AS) from the sky, the clashes and battle of the Imam with the Antichrist, and the declaration of a miracle for the Jews by Imam Mahdi, will all happen in this area. In the present study, by searching the narrative texts of the denominations, we will investigate the exact location of the occurrence of these events. Also, the author, based on narratives in sources of denominations, seeks to show the occurrence of apocalyptic changes in the geography of Jerusalem and its surroundings.

Believing in the emergence of a Savior in the end of the world is a common teaching in all divine religions, including Islam, despite their disputes over His characteristics and signs. A majority of Muslim scholars, whether Shia or Sunni, reveal a clear explanation on the quality of the emergence of Mahdi, their believed Savior, and its concurrent events. However some orientalists, due to their insufficient knowledge over the doctrine of Mahdaviyyah in Islam, tend to relate some inaccurate non-documented statements about it. These statements not only put the whole doctrine under question but also misguide the audience who get interested in knowing Islam, Shiism and Mahdi, the Promised. Based on a descriptive-analytical method and getting use of significant Shii and Sunni sources, this paper aims at a critical survey of first: the definition of the term Mahdi in an entry of Encyclopedia Britannica, under the same name; second: the demurs and claims through the entry, as well as proving their baselessness and lack of reliable documents. According to our findings, the authors of the entry, due to their insufficient knowledge over the doctrine of Mahdaviyyah in Islam, tend to relate some inaccurate non-documented statements about it, as quotations ascribed to Muslim scholars.

Mahdaviyyat is one of beliefs and beliefs that is largely consistent with the teachings of many religions and religions. The concern for these questions is not limited to Taliban guided studies, but anyone interested in research in history will inevitably deal with it. With all the knowledge of Mahdiism, this idea is not in all forms of Islamic sects. The background to this discussion is with questions such as what and why Mahdaviyyat is bound. Hence, today, in many researches, tracing, rooting causes and factors of this belief. Among the various Islamic differences, including Zaidi, there are numerous indications of the importance of applying it in the field of history, culture and thought of this cult. Therefore, the present study seeks to answer the question of why this belief should be applied to Zaidi's sect to study the reasons for its design from the perspective of Zaidi's leaders and activists. In this research, Zaidi is considered as an independent variable and Mahdaviyyat as an independent variable. The present paper is presented in an inductive and descriptive-analytical way The political and historical needs of the leaders of this Shiite group and The use of a means of socializing Mahdaviyyat, Has led the leaders of this Shiite uprising to believe in personal Mahdaviyyat, a kind of Mahdaviyyat and attribution of Mahdiism To use political and instrumental means of this belief and They have never been thinking of providing a firm and distinct idea of Mahdaviyyat's doctrine. Hence, in each period, they have, as required, somehow suggested it.
