Clarifying the Existential structure of Mahdist civilization based on the pattern of the relation between body and soul in the viewpoint of Philosophy and Islamic mysticism

Relying on Islamic mysticism and philosophical bases and through a deep viewpoint and in a dialectical method, it is tried to clarify the fact that Existential structure of Mahdist civilization is a structure beyond arbitrary, and the relation of Imam to its people is like the relation between soul and the body. All the fruitful outcomes of Mahdist civilization is because of this deep bond between Imam and the people. Hence, the relation of soul and body is analyzed in philosophy and Islamic mysticism in the first place. We define the difference between the elemental body and purgatory body based on Sadra school of thought and then conclude that elemental body is related to soul in position of active destruction and the purgatory body is related to soul in a position of essential destruction. Then based on this analysis, the quality of the relation between the body and soul is clarified. In Mahdist civilization that infection and love toward Imam Mahdi(A.S) is pivotal and the members of it reach to the position of active annihilation in relation to Imam and as a result in a way beyond symbolic, social life as elemental body for Him is a place for appearance of His perfect attributes. Finally, after defining the relation between Imam and people as the relation between body and soul in Mahdist civilization, we mention some of its fruits and results. And then we ontologically analyze some of the great changes in Mahdist civilization.
