God's will is to make his religion stand out to all religions, although the unbelievers and polytheists get offended from this truth. He also wills to be gracious to the poor and make inherit the earth and time, even if it is hard for the arrogant world to accept this. In addition, a certain tradition of God is that with the emergence of his Hojjat (representative saviour) undoubtedly fill the world with justice, charity and goodness right after it has been totally filled of oppression, tyranny and harassment. Moreover, it is the providence of God in all this would happen as a rule and through the usual way, rather than to be done mysteriously and miraculously. Thus, it is clear that the provisions and grounds should be set for this to happen and make an opening for Islam and Muslims is the sweet realization of this with the lovable and appealing emergence of Imam Mahdi. The ground setting education, along this line, has the biggest share in making that above happen. The main concern of this paper is to explain the principles and requirements for such ground setting. That is the reason for educators policy planners, implementers and operators in setting the grounds by explaining the virtue of rank of the last leader of the world, world's justice, the best features for the best person who will lead the world, the mission of salvation and good destiny for humans, the ultimate perfection of human, the events of the final era, the right of Taghva, the right of Jihad, and ground setting education inspired from the Ashura pilgrimage prayer, the position of the will and providence of divine in effectiveness of the ground setting education. Given the importance of the issue mentioned above, the significance of ground setting education is twice as much. The high content of ten essential issues above can be deduced and obtained through a descriptive and analytical approach with a focus on the position and global mission of Imam Mahdi, dramatic and pervasive events of the final day and the solemn responsibility of the people educated in this school of thought to enter the era of emergence.

In the religious thought, the end of history is the era of justice and the rule of the poor. This global evolution brings about by Imam Mahdi and his sincere companions. In the Hadiths of Islam, the Fellowship of Mahdi is mentioned with special features that if those features are not found in enough people and God does not will, the movement will not start. Except for the Imam who is a sinless person who holds special divine attention, the companions rise from the ordinary people. This paper is about obstacles that exist for training those comrades behind a particular definition of Islamic education and its elements. These obstacles to such education will be discussed in the field of human thought, speech and behavior. According to the Islamic verses and traditions, disbelief in God and idolatry are mentioned as the two major obstacles in the realm of ideas and relationship with God. Not recognizing the legal position of Imam Mahdi, the savior, is also a major fault in relation with Imam, and in connection with self, a lack of religious insight is mentioned as an important obstacle for ground setting education. Among the numerous obstacles in the area of speech, ten obstacles are mentioned and in the scope of behavior, the compliance of Nafs, an inner self who is inviting to sin; self-attachment to the worldly affairs, lack of Islamic vision, weakness in accepting Velayat, etc... are among the barriers of a ground setting education.

Mechanisms underlying the ground setting education are among the concerns of the important cultural and religious schools, and especially Islam. This paper aims to examine some of the ways in which the Hadith traditions directly or indirectly explain the major contributing factors to the rise of legendary savior Mahdi. The study uses a descriptive and analytical approach and data is collected about the mechanisms underlying the ground setting education derived from the Hadith traditions, using microfiche from collected references. The analysis of data is qualitative and the main mechanism highlighted in this study are providing the necessary measures for personality development of people, introduction of best Mahdavi practices and patterns, culture building and pathological critique with the aim of betterment and fail proof culture conducive to Mahdaviiat are noted.

The only educational model that can fit the requirements of the era of emergence is building a ground setting and waiting person for the appearance with a kind of epic patriotic education. In other words, an epic training model is a comprehensive model fit for Mahdaviiat, because occultation is the era of the problems and disasters and one cannot easily face the apocalypse and its profound features and still stay innocent. Such a ground setting person would require a specific model of training to gain those different features that infallible Imams mention for the waiting believers in occultation of Imam Mahdi. Since the stem and the top Messianic doctrine encompasses the saga of struggle, strength, loyalty and passion as well as awareness and wisdom, it should be understood how to wait and be ready to set the stage for the rise, as to the epic and epic-making patterns formed by training.

The ground setting training has a special and high place in Islam, and Islamic state is in charge of this type of training like the rest of issues in society, as well. Several narratives and Hadiths from the Holy Prophet and Imams demonstrate their commitment to the training of ground setting believers for the rise. Research has highlighted poor performance of educational institutions as regards the training ground setting people. Accordingly, the aim of this paper is to investigate ways to improve the performance of educational institutions in the training of ground setting believers, based on the opinions of scholars and experts in this field. In this paper, after reviewing the literature on this topic, a theoretical-analytical approach is adopted to answer the questions about the underlying ground setting mechanisms of society in ground setting education, and applying guidelines, and the extent of possibility of practical applications has been addressed.

In this paper, concepts, and elements and the historical roots of religious education as a training setting grounds for appearance or emergence of Imam Mahdi and its fruits and benefits are compared with the teaching of secular education for a better understanding of the assessed challenges and damages. Since in the Islamic Republic, teachings of secular education do not fit, there are not so well known. This paper's main goal is addressing a comparison of secular education with religious education which is deeply rooted in Iran's history. The main pillars of this research work rests on theoretical and comparative study of the contents, and surveying and concluding the issues. In this study, the findings show that, issues such as secularism and its education called secular education are rooted in the culture of the West. Secular education focuses primarily on training and development of the curriculum, and does not include teaching religious education. Conversely, religious education has deeper roots in Islamic countries, especially Iran. Addressing the conflict between science and religion, and comparisons between the components and the results of these two types of training are the main targets of this paper.

Fostering the theological education of beginners and learners of the Islamic Society, including children, teenagers and young people, and try to realize the pure existence and proximity to divine has always been the focus of our Islamic education of the country. In this regard, there has already been symbolic steps, however not fundamental, taken in different aspects of religious, Islamic and Quranic education. It is clear that a common pivot and undoubted emphasis of such a divine education which is based on Islamic tenets and Shiite Fegh for training humans, who believe in monotheism, are dynamic and hopeful towards the future and wait for the Imam Mahdi, the global peace-maker. These people make an effort to achieve the pure existence, stay away from nihilistic thoughts and make a ground setting community who is waiting for the emergence. In recent years, with the efforts of educational and cultural planners and administrators, especially with the production of initiative document called 'fundamental transformation of education' action program in the field of macro and fundamental streamlining that have been done in the field of Mahdavi training of learners. But it is necessary to set up the model of Mahdavi training patterns for achieving the goals of programs, and take operational and administrative steps in this regard. The model presented in this research aims at identifying, defining and institutionalizing operational strategies for Mahdavi training which has been presented here in three areas of brainware, hardware and software.
