Abstract

The culture of the waiting (for Imam Mahdi) has capacities that, by creating the right beliefs and attitudes, generates values, norms, and behaviors, and by applying them, will open the door for the waiting society. Therefore, the culture of the waiting can have appropriate functions to create change in the waiting society. Using the culture of the waiting, Shahid Soleimani deepened the strategy of resistance, and for this reason, with his unique jihadi attempts, he confronted the aggression and oppression of the arrogant powers and the violence of extremist groups. This study has examined the epistemological and value function of the culture of the waiting in deepening the resistance strategy with emphasis on the School of Shahid Soleimani through a qualitative approach and content analysis method and then, after explaining the key concepts, has enumerated epistemological and value functions of the culture of the waiting to deepen the resistance strategy in the School of Shahid Soleimani. One of the most important findings and innovations of this paper is to explain the functions of the culture of the waiting in order to strengthen and deepen the strategy of resistance in the School of Shahid Soleimani in two areas of beliefs and values. Finally, consequences such as the consolidation of divine knowledge and Wilayt acceptance in the field of beliefs as well as the empowerment of moral values and political values in the field of values have been emphasized by considering their role in deepening and strengthening the strategy of resistance.
