The Waiting Lifestyle, the Strategy of Dealing with Deviant Sects of Mahdism in the Contemporary Era

Abstract

While the doctrine of Mahdism is one of the most effective doctrines in the individual and the society, the deviant sects attributed to Mahdiism are among the harmful factors that cause the individual and the religious community not only to not be able to benefit from this great doctrine as it deserves, but they will add to the scientific and practical problems in the society that believes in Mahdism. In this article, with a descriptive-analytical method, it has been tried to introduce the lifestyle of the waiting (for Imam Mahdi’s reappearance), as one of the strategic responses in dealing with the harms of deviant sects of Mahdism, because the Jihad-like nature arising from the nature of waiting raised by the Fourteen Infallibles is a huge support with which the waiters can defend themselves against the threats of deviant sects from the truth of Mahdism and the beliefs and values arising from it in three arenas including Jihad of insight, Jihad of orientation and Jihad of action, and that can lead to reforming and improving their insights, tendencies and actions of the waiters of Imam Mahdi.
