Abstract

Mahdavi governance finds meaning and concept in the form of Islamic governance, and Islamic governance is divided into types such as Prophetic governance, Alavi governance and Mahdavi governance. Mahdavi governance is divided into two types including transcendental Mahdavi governance and ideal Wilayat Faqih governance because the diversity of the Mahdavi governance based on the ages (age of occultation and reappearance of Imam Mahdi) leads to the diversity of the Mahdavi governance to the transcendental Mahdavi governance governed by Imam Mahdi, and the governance of the Wali Faqih governed by the successors of Imam Mahdi. Both governances, i.e. transcendental Mahdavi governance and ideal Wali Fiqh governance, have a single origin called Mahdavi thought, on the basis of which both of them are given the title of Mahdavi governance. In addition to sharing the origin (Mahdiism thought), these two governances have a two-way relationship and play an important role in each other's evolution and excellence. It is necessary and essential to provide the context for excellence and knowledge increase among people and society by expressing this two-way relationship. In this article, data collection has been done with a qualitative method and in the form of library and documents, and data processing has been done in a descriptive and analytical method. The results of this study are achievements such as the role-creation of transcendental Mahdavi governance in the form of three components of legitimization, acceptability, and goal-setting in relation to the Wali Faqih governance, and the role-creation of the Wali Faqih governance in the form of the three components of preparation, promotion, and model-making in relation to the transcendental Mahdavi governance.
