Abstract

Waiting (for Imam Mahdi's reappearance) is justified as a comprehensive and wide-ranging teaching with two trans-denominational and trans-religious approaches and plays a fundamental and important role in organizing the individual and social life of the Savior believers. In this study, among the various functions of the waiting in individual and social affairs, the two issues of resistance and haste with a negative and positive attitude are discussed. In a positive approach, this paper proves the role of the waiting in strengthening the spirit of resistance and tolerance, and in a negative approach, it denies the spirit of haste with a library method along with explaining data through descriptive and analytical methods. Undoubtedly, an important issue and challenge that sometimes can be seen among the waiters and disrupts their personal and social lives, is the spirit of impatience and haste for the issue of reappearance (of Imam Mahdi). This study focuses on answering and resolving this problem and strengthening the spirit of patience and resistance among the waiters by using the arguments of the Qur'an and narration along with thematic analyses.
