Abstract

The waiting (for Imam Mahdi) is a basic teaching in Imamiyah sect, which can be considered as pragmatism in the occultation era to provide the context for reappearance of the great sun of the guardianship. Given the skepticism and proving the minimum and maximum instances of the concept of the waiting, the superior instance of this concept is "resistance-based pragmatism" and "jihadi action" during the occultation. Hence, faithful and resistance-based governance is considered as the means of transcendental waiting and Imamiyah scholars have found a relationship based on reason and narration between them. In the meantime, the transcendental Hikmah's view about the model of governance in society and the issues related to the movement in Islamic philosophy are reminiscent of a type of governorship that can be called "resistance governorship". On the other hand, the Holy Qur'an enumerates components for this type of governance that based on a combined and blending method and descriptive-analytical data processing, the present paper tries to deal with the Qur'anic components of resistance governance by examining the relationship between resistance governorship and the waiting, the place of the pillars in it and the meaning of resistance governorship as well as its manifestation in the lifestyle of Shahid Soleimani. The findings suggest that the resistance governorship is a means of transcendental waiting and is based on the rules of movement in transcendental Hikmah (wisdom) and includes the five basic components of monotheism, belief in the guardianship of the jurist (a completely qualified jurist), perseverance and patience, religious rationality and prudence and the comprehensive and faithful view to mankind. Shahid Soleimani, as a preeminent human in Imam Khomeini's school, implemented this model of resistance governance at the highest level in the region and formed a network of resistance in the international arena.
