This research aims to conduct a conceptual and systematic analysis of the time-setting (Tawqit) of the advent of Imam Mahdi (عج) and to examine its function in identifying the specific occurrence of the appearance, which is one of the key and challenging topics of Mahdism. The research method is descriptive–analytical, and the data have been collected and analyzed through a coherent compilation of reliable narrative sources, the viewpoints of the Innocent Imams (ع), and the opinions of prominent Shia scholars.
The findings indicate that in response to the fundamental question of how, despite the abundance of hadiths that reject those who set times and condemn time-setting, some continue to predict the timing of the advent, the determination of the time of appearance—whether definitive or probabilistic—is mostly due to inappropriate interpretations of concepts and narrative terms. This issue not only conflicts with theological principles and hadith teachings but is also reproached within the jurisprudential domain.
