Abstract

 




Re-examination of the thought of religious scholars regarding the needs of the Islamic society can provide ideal models for individuals, social groups, and the authorities of the Islamic system to reach the sublime and virtuous Mahdavi society. Undoubtedly, those waiting for the Mahdavi government are always trying to provide the context for the reappearance of the savior of the world and the realization of all the characteristics of the Mahdavi society. Ayatollah Safi Golpayegani is one of the innovative and intellectual jurists, whose thoughts can help in attaining and knowing the mentioned characteristics, especially at the social level. The current article seeks to examine and explain the social characteristics of the Mahdavi society in his thought through a descriptive-analytical method and using his written works. The results show that in the view of Ayatollah Safi Golpayegani, the Mahdavi society, inspired by the revealed values, has the main characteristics of social justice, social security, and social solidarity. Social justice and other social characteristics are rooted in divine values and taste has nothing to do with it. Divine values do not depend on time and place, and there is no discrimination among people and their examples. Therefore, when these values rule the society, like a bubbling spring of life, it will bring justice, security, and comfort. The goal of the Mahdavi government is to establish divine values and the rule of revealed values, and the result of this goal is social justice and the like.
