In the eighty-ninth verse of Surah An'am, God gives such consolation and encouragement to the Holy Prophet, who was saddened by the disobedience and disbelief of his people, that you should not be saddened by the disbelief of the polytheists. Because if they disbelieve in the Book, Wisdom and Prophethood, we will appoint a people who will protect it and protect its rights, and observe what is good for it, and will not disbelieve in it. There are different narrations and different interpretive views on who is meant by the mentioned people. According to some narrations, the meaning of the people in question is from Persia, and this is a view that has probably been put forward by some commentators. In the present article, an attempt has been made to explain this view as a significant possibility.

The treatise of Raj’at attributed to Mufaddal ibn Umar is one of the most important Hadiths about the absence and reappearance of Imam Mahdi (as). This treatise was not very well known among the early Imamis and apparently entered to Imami Hadith from the 8th century AH and became famous from the 11th century AH and has been accepted by many late Authors. Although this treatise has some similarities with other Hadiths, there are many historical and doctrinal flaws in its text and Isnad. A comparison of this treatise with Nusayri sources, especially Khasibi's works, shows the dependence of this treatise on the Nusayri religion. According to the available pieces of evidence, Khasibi was responsible for compiling this treatise and in processing it he used former Imami sources as a template for expressing Nusayri teachings. In this article, library research method and textual and Isnad analysis have been used.

Investigating the deviational movements of Mahdaviat is one of the thought-provoking questions in the field of Mahdaviat. studies. In spite of pervasive approach towards the issue of deviations in Mahdaviat, little research has been carried out around the grounds of inclination towards these movements. The inspections of this paper are an introduction to answer this question that what the epistemological grounds of accepting the claims of false claimants of Mahdaviat are in the contemporary Iran. Recognizing these grounds and attempting to remove the existent gaps paving the ground for these movements are among the reasons of addressing this issue. Moreover, one can prevent the unlimited number of negative belief outcomes such as sectarism, squandering the capacities of the Shiite community and destruction of the liberating thought of Mahdaviat. the following paper is carried out with a descriptive-analytic method, reciting the written and unwritten sources such as voice and video files and court cases to seek the epistemological grounds. The result of data analysis and composition reveals that “citation of weak sources”, “superficiality”, “extreme Akhbarism", "comparisonism" and "superstition" are effective in creating grounds for attracting claimants.

One of the issues that has been widely discussed in Mahdavi narrations is judgment without evidence and based on fact. The appearance of the narrations is used, which is a kind of judgment with God-given knowledge and in an extraordinary way. According to this study, Imam Zaman uses the judgment of Davoodi at least at some point in his rule, and such judgment plays an important role in promoting justice in a society after the emergence and reduction of crime. And because of that, Imam al-Zaman (as) will try and punish special and professional criminals, which will be a deterrent for others as well. Such a judgment is necessary, although the general practice of the judiciary in the rule of that Imam is to judge on the basis of appearances and evidence. This research, by the method of library collection and data analysis, first reports the validity of this issue and proves the accuracy of the narrations, and after analyzing and expressing the functions, will answer the doubts of this issue.

The hadith of Ghadir is one of the few enduring legacies of the Prophet (PBUH) that there is no doubt about its correctness and content among all Muslim sects. The late Tabarsi has narrated a long sermon about this historical event which is not found in other sources and the document he presented to it is not free of objections and problems. In this sermon, there are about eighteen sentences about Mahdaviat and the Imam of the Age, which show the importance of this fact in the presence of the Prophet (PBUH) who has included it in the most important event in the history of Islam. According to the study, almost all of these sentences are clear and embedded in the culture and heritage of the Ahl al-Bayt, and none of them is faced with ideological ambiguity or doubt about its correctness. Therefore, the Mahdaviat part of this sermon, according to the available evidence, is fixed and inviolable and can be a strong support for the legitimacy of Ghadir sermon.

Mahdaviat is a genuine doctrine that dates back to the time of the Messenger of God (PBUH). This statement is supported by narrations belonging to the beginning of Islam and reports contained in books such as the book of Salim bin Qais Hilali. In the meantime, some Imami jurists, Sunni writers and a number of contemporary orientalists have doubted the validity of Salim ibn Qays Hilali's reports and the proof of Mahdaviat through them, and called the results of their research "the real absence of Salim ibn Qays". "Forgery of a book with his name by Aban ibn Abi Ayash" and "unreliability of existing copies" have been mentioned.
In this article, the author has tried to study the character of Salim bin Qais and his book with the method of integrated research method, descriptive-analytical data processing method and using the resources of Shiite and Sunni libraries, and the results that include " Present the authenticity of a person named Salim ibn Qais, the authenticity of the book of Salim ibn Qais, and the credentials left by him about Imam Mahdi (as).

This article is an attempt to represent the type of thought of thought currents in interpreting the discourse of waiting. What is noteworthy is that the currents of thought in the approach and interpretation of the doctrine of Mahdaviat and the discourse of waiting, despite the similarity in some cases, are not inherently the same, but in essence and side, form a range of different interpretations. . This article will try to present a different picture of Mahdaviat while presenting the interpretive variations of intellectual currents in the approach to the doctrine of Mahdaviat. This article, in a descriptive and analytical way, tries to examine the discourse of expectation from the point of view of "Muslim civilizations", "modernists" and "traditional Shari'a" according to the necessary data. The results of analyzing and combining the collected data show how the doctrine of Mahdaviat differs from the point of view of these currents of thought, depending on several considerations. Of course, the foregoing, all existing types, and possible forms in the ideological distinctions of these currents are not expected in interpretation; By studying and reflecting on this subject, and with different considerations, more data can be obtained, or more readable hypotheses can be thought of

The verse "بقیه الله خیر لکم ان کنتم مومنین" has been interpreted in several ways: religious benefit or lawful blessings and sustenance, following God's commands and advice, divine interest and reward, God's mercy and care, pure nature and soul. Faith, and piety resulting from following the divine commands, a lawful day in this world and a reward in the Hereafter, divine commands and duties, and every creature of divine benefit. According to the last interpretation, the prophets and divine testators will be one of the examples of Baqiyyatallah (residue of God), and the Imams have used this description about themselves, especially about the Imam Mahdi. This research, with the method of library collection and content analysis, seeks to provide a correct analysis to apply this verse to Imam Mahdi; In particular, it is stated in the narrations that at the time of his reappearance, Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be called by this title. The last remaining guide, the source of divine mercy, and the divine Promise, are the three analyzes that can be presented in relation to the use of the title of Baqiyyatallah (residue of God) about the Imam Mahdi.

One of the common teachings between Shiites and Sunnis is the belief in Imam Mahdi (as), with the difference that most Sunni scholars believe that he will be born at the end of time, but Shiites believe that he was born and is currently absent and will appear at the end of time. So the point is that regardless of the specific narrations of the parties, even from the verses of the Qur'an that are accepted by both parties, can there be any evidence for the existence of the Infallible Imam? If the answer is yes, is there an Infallible Imam now? The purpose of this research is that according to the holy verse «یا ایها الذین آمنوا اطیعوا الله و اطیعوا الرسول و اولی الامر منکم. . .»: (نساء: 59) In which the absolute obedience to the first commandment is guardians, and the Shiite scholars, together with the Imams (as), consider it as an example, and the Sunni commentators disagree on its example. The first is that: firstly, they are infallible, and the second is that: at any time, there is a person outside as the guardian of the infallible who is obliged to obey him. Third: If we do not find him, he must inevitably be absent according to the Shiite belief, and this absence will not prevent his obedience. In this paper, data collection is library and research is done in a descriptive-analytical manner around three issues: A: Proving the infallibility of guardian. B: Proving the external existence of an individual from the guardian at any time. C: The possibility of obeying the guardian of the present even if we do not find him. Therefore, the necessity of the existence of the guardian and the infallible Imam in the present time and the obligation to obey him can be used from the holy verse of obedience.

One of the profound concepts that has been used to understand the hadith of Ahl al-Bayt (AS) and requires attention and reflection is the word wa'i, which has been emphasized in several hadiths. The wa'i (keep) of a hadith, in short, means receiving the whole hadith and away from mentalities and prejudices in order to open the way to reach the infallible purpose. In this research, the word wa'i and its uses in the Qur'an and hadiths have been discussed in order to obtain its meaning in the words of the Ahl al-Bayt.

Mahdaviat in the clarification of Quranic verses is one of the interpretive issues between Shiie and Sunni. Due to the importance of interpretive narrations in this issue, the present article has been done by the descriptive-analytical method on various methods of clarification of the issue of Mahdaviat in interpretive narrations. All in all, the research showed that to raise the issue interpretive narrations have used eleven methods. Statement of application and adaptation; Refering to neglected examples; Using Quranic expressions; Citing a verse; Impliciting uses and in the continuation of the verse; Recruiting Quranic words; Communicating on a small occasion; Explaining the exact meaning of the verse in the form of Mahdaviat; Using the capacity of resemblance between appearance and resurrection; Using Quaran sures attributes; And pointing to the transhistorical nature of Mahdaviat which were the methods founded to express the issue of Mahdaviat in interpretive narrations.

Modern Islamic civilization and Mahdavi civilization are two conceptual categories, each of which has its own characteristics and features from the perspective of thinkers in these two conceptual areas. The present study aims to discover the exact relationship between the modern Islamic civilization - as a process of the goals of the Islamic Revolution - with the Mahdavi civilization, Therefore, the main issue is the relationship between these two categories, which is based on the comparative method and based on the comparison of slogans and indicators, the views of the Imams of the Revolution (Imam Khomeini and the Supreme Leader) and finally using narrated data and Mahdavi hadiths has explored this relationship, The result is that among the proportional hypotheses between the two, such as; 1. Absolute distinction 2- Cognitive distinction 3- Absolute similarity 4- Teleological homology, except in the first case - Lack of communication - It is possible to combine other hypotheses based on the longitudinal and longitudinal relationship which is the teleological homology.
