The Nature and Components of Happiness in the Doctrine of Mahdism with Emphasis on the Element of Hope

Happiness is one of the most important natural needs of every human being and the religion of Islam has a plan to create it. What is important in this research and is its main purpose is to study the nature and components of happiness and vitality in the idea of Mahdism. According to the recommendations of the narrations, because of the grief and sorrow at the separation of Imam Mahdi (A.S) in forms such as Nadbah prayer, it comes to mind that life of a person waiting for Imam Mahdi (A.S) is always sad; Therefore, the question that must be considered is "Are the components of Mahdism compatible with the principle of happiness and vivacity?" Our hypothesis is that in the idea of Mahdism, there is a type of joy and happiness that is different from today's happiness and joy. In this paper, we have used the method of data collection, description and analysis to achieve the answer to the problem. The findings of the research indicate that in the perception of Mahdism, we see the completion and transcendence of joy and happiness. In the teachings of Mahdism, due to the existence of characteristics such as hope for the future, meaning in life, sorrow and purposeful sorrow, etc., we witness joy and happiness.
