Messianism and its Place in the Cultural Perspective of the Islamic Republic of Iran (With Futurology Approach)

Futurology, as one of the fields of studies, is accountable for the mission to trace the future management of the world. On the same basis, world leaders set the documents as “the perspective” considering various factors (ideas, aspirations, opportunities, threats and talents) in order to achieve and determine future precisely. Accordingly, the “perspective” is an organized expression about moving from present to the future, and from current situation to the desired one. One of the needs of our religious community is compiling a cultural outlook based on Messianism. The outlook based on this belief, while it presents a desirable, aspirational and achievable picture of values and beliefs in front of the society, indicates a point that a future, based on justice and the rule of monotheism throughout the world, awaits us. The perspective document of Islamic Republic of Iran entailing its cultural, political, social and economic perspective has not observed Messianism and Messianic properly and imperatively and this deficiency can be compensated by compiling the cultural perspective document of Islamic Republic of Iran based on the Messianic vision. Tracing Messianic principles as a cultural perspective, in fact, promises the fulfillment of values expected to be fulfilled by the advent of Imam Mahdi (A.S), the most important of which are: human’s dignity and return to one’s true nature and true-heartedness, true freedom, the rule of moral values, and practical development…. In this direction, it is necessary a cultural meeting is held in the holy city of Qom and becomes responsible for developing the cultural perspective of Islamic Republic of Iran.
