The leading subject of the present research is that the system of Mahdavi training and education is itself affected by various components including the system of science and technology in spite of the strategic role in transmitting the revealed thought to the society, and we expect that the emerging trend of technological convergence has a fundamental impact on it; however, these impacts cannot be easily recognized and most importantly, the destiny of the mentioned system in the face of convergent technologies are indistinct. To find an answer to this question, the present qualitative research attempts to depict the possible futures in this trend using Delfi and scenario writing methods. In this regard, at first, a list of macro-trends of technological convergence has been counted and prioritized. In the following, with the coincidence of the uncertainty principle observing these trends, four scenarios of the future of the system of Mahdavi training and education (including the good tree, Solomon’s kingdom, corrupt tree, and Ibrahim in the fire). The findings of this research can guide the authorities in charge of system of Mahdavi and religious training and education in the futuristic face of the development of science and technology especially the convergent technologies.
