Abstract

The waiting society is a society that takes steps towards the realization of Imam Mahdi's government by establishing the foundational requirements for its reappearance and continuity. The need to explore these duties, which are individual, social, political, cultural, and other duties, is more evident in young people because the young people are at the peak of physical and spiritual fitness and are more receptive to the affairs of the right. In addition, young people are of great importance in the government of Imam Mahdi. Examining these duties in this study can be achieved through a descriptive-analytical method. By searching in the works of hadith and the views of Shiite thinkers, one can reach duties such as knowledge creation and knowledge enhancement, strength enhancement, tolerance, taking responsibility and self-belief. Young people must increase their knowledge of divine Hujjah (Imam), strengthen their physical and military strength, and be resistant to difficulties and obstacles. They should also accept their responsibilities and maintain their self-confidence.
