This research aims to conduct a detailed and comprehensive study of the illustrations of Imam Reza (PU) and Imam Zaman (PU) in the Dresden Edition of the Tahmasbi Falnameh. The Tahmasbi Falnameh, as one of the masterpieces of Iranian painting, has a very high artistic and content value, which was illustrated during the reign of Shah Tahmasb Safavi in the year (957 a.d) in Qazvin, which has special features such as large dimensions, unique book layout, and visual richness. In this study, using the method of visual analysis, various elements of the paintings, including color, composition, symbols, and painting techniques, have been examined. The main goal of this analysis is to decipher the artistic language used in these works and better understand the deep concepts hidden in the paintings. The research findings show that the paintings of Imam Reza (PU) and Imam Zaman (PU) in the Falnameh of Tahmasbi, in addition to their visual beauty, carry deep Shiite concepts and religious teachings. The artist painter, using symbols, special techniques, and architecture, has created works that express the religious beliefs of the Safavid society and the importance of these two Imams in Shiite culture.

The idea of Mahdism and its surrounding knowledge are among the important and influential issues whose dissemination and expansion among the general public can have countless fruits and be a prelude to the creation of a heavenly and divine civilization. In the meantime, the media of the current world, especially the audio-visual media, including cinema and television, have been recognized as the best tools for transmitting concepts and ideas due to their unique characteristics. Combining these two things together and putting the enormous capacity of the cinema media to use in order to transmit the rich and valuable concepts of Mahdism will provide an unparalleled opportunity for the country's cultural stakeholders and officials to produce effective and content-rich products centered on Mahdist topics through national cinema. Complete success in this path, in the first stage, depends on a precise understanding of the process of transmitting Mahdist knowledge through the medium of cinema. In this regard, this article attempts to briefly enumerate and express a number of strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats in this field, so that they can be used as a guide for those in charge of this field.

It stands for a theory that dates back to pre-Plato Greece called Mimesis. Ibn Sina, as a follower of Aristotelian thought, deals with the theory of imitation. In the view of this Muslim philosopher, imitation often means storytelling. Since the Ascension of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) is one of the most famous Islamic anecdotes and narrations that is required by the Qur'an, and if this event has a picture, if the desire to write it by artists in different periods is a picture that can be the most prominent, They are Shahrokhi's ascension letter. Therefore, in this research, the mentioned image has been studied based on Ibn Sina's theory of imitation and this article intends to answer the question to what extent the studied image, which is one of the images of Herat Teymouri school, has the characteristics of the theory. Do the imitations correspond from Ibn Sina's point of view? The results obtained from this research show that the orthographic artist of Shahrokhi's Ascension letter, according to Ibn Sina's theory of imitation, has both imitated what it was and has used the power of imagination to make it more beautiful or ugly

Many films have been made with an apocalyptic approach, their efforts focused on creating and presenting an exciting but illusory future. In this space, we have recently witnessed the production of films with the theme of criticizing and satirizing the Shiite Mahdi. One of the most important productions that has been welcomed by the Hollywood audience in this field is the film “Dune” with the Persian translation and translation of “Tal Maseh” in 2021.

In this article, we seek to categorize the most important Shiite content of the film using the data separation method and reveal and display the bitter and insolent reality of the film from these categories

Therefore, this article, using a library method, seeks to explain spirituality based on reason in detail, as well as the relationship between spirituality and rationality and the characteristics of rational spirituality in the doctrine of Mahdism.

As a result, rational spirituality based on the doctrine of Mahdism, with the connection of rationality and spirituality arising from the text of the law, will lead us to a humanistic, not a anthropocentric, life of goodness, with unique characteristics.
