Abstract

Reappearance of Imam Mahdi is one of the most important and widely used components in the culture of Mahdism. In order to organize the reappearance, various issues such as the conditions of reappearance, the occurrence of reappearance, the signs of reappearance and providing the context for reappearance are raised. In the meanwhile, the issue of providing the context for reappearance is recognized as the most important and practical issue and is justified in the form of the duties and mission of the waiters. The realization of providing the context for reappearance depends on the readiness of the people, and the realization of the readiness of the people depends on their readiness in the three areas of "thought and knowledge", "tendency and motivation" and "action and behavior". This paper only deals with the readiness of people in the area of action and behavior. Realization of readiness with an action and behavioral approach depends on the formation of components such as the spirit of reform and reformism, unity and convergence, hope and hopefulness, acceptance and love of Wilayat, appreciation and belief in the Imam, etc. among the waiters and the waiting community. In this study, by asking question about the role of Shahid Soleimani's school in the unity and cohesion of the people in order to provide the context for reappearance, information has been collected in a descriptive and analytical method as well as in the library and documentary method. The findings of this study is proving the place and important role of Commander Soleimani (during his life and martyrdom and his school) in uniting the people in the path of fighting arrogance with the approach of perseverance and resistance in order to achieve the reappearance and the right government.
