The future has always been an attractive topic for humans in such a way that humans have created methods appropriate to the same period in order to know and be aware of it. In the new era, in addition to discovering the future, modern man, by taking himself to the position of a subject, has also attempted to construct and design the future. The knowledge of studying the future (future studies) is a set of methods that this human has produced to discover, image and build the future. In this research, considering the scope of future studies in the three approaches of foresight, forecast, and forefiction, using library and descriptive-analytical research methods, an attempt has been made to infer a theoretical and cognitive foundation for the future issue through the activism of Quranic role models, in order to open a gateway to the theological horizons of future studies. For this purpose, from the study of the behavior of Hazrat-e Khizr and Hazrat-e Yusuf, the concept of Ta'vil has been extracted and analyzed. This research has come to the conclusion that by explaining the concept of Ta'vil in the sense of foreaware, as the foundation of foresight, forecast, and forefiction, and by preparing its specific requirements, it is possible to prepare a theological plan for future studies.

Designing, planning and establishing an Islamic Al-Madina Al-Tayyiba (perfect society) based on authentic Islamic principles and values ​​can provide the basis for growth and perfection towards a desirable and ideal society. In the past few decades, the influx of Western modernity models and their application in the cities of Islamic countries has made the atmosphere of the Islamic cities face a crisis of identity loss - identitylessness. In order to confront the invasion of foreign culture and solve the problems of the cities of the country, it is necessary to revive the Islamic Al-Madina Al-Tayyiba and return to the authentic Islamic standards of the Qur'an in building the cities of the country. Accordingly, the current research has been conducted with the aim of designing the Quranic model of the Islamic Al-Madina Al-Tayyiba with a future research approach. The research method is an applied method in terms of the goal, and also a survey due to its descriptive approach. The statistical population of this research is 70 experts and professors at the level of universities and scientific institutes across the country. In order to analyze the Quranic model of Islamic Al-Madina Al-Tayyiba, 36 important indicators have been extracted and analyzed using Quranic verses. MICMAC program was used to analyze the research indicators and identify the main effective strategies in designing the Quranic model of Islamic Al-Madina Al-Tayyiba.The research findings show that out of 36 elements investigated in this research, 12 criteria were selected as the key factors influencing the design of the Quranic model of Islamic Al-Madina Al-Tayyiba, which are: perseverance and will to revive Al-Madina Al-Tayyiba, dispersion the culture of worship in the city, spreading piety and spirituality in the city, helping the deprived, needy and weak, expanding the scope of science and technology in the city, human dignity and citizen rights, establishing justice, avoiding rumors and suspicions, ensuring security and peace, economic prosperity and public welfare, building a moral city and righteous leadership

Future -oriented understanding of Holy Quran or any other divine text can be defined understanding of it, outside the context and time of its revelation. This understanding and how it is formed inside a person is very important. Understanding is mostly defined within an extra-religious approach and is synonymous with hermeneutics, while interpretation is mostly done within intra-religious approach and proceeds based on theological presuppositions. The purpose of this article is to investigate the role of these two approaches as how they can affect understanding of revelation texts. The main question of the research is: What is the role of different perspectives of understanding the texts on the understanding of the revealed texts, including the Holy Quran?
The research method is content analysis of texts related to the research problem. First, the schools of understanding of texts have been examined in three stages of ancient hermeneutics, middle hermeneutics and late hermeneutics. Although the origins and concerns of various schools of thought have been originated from Bible, we can find traces of similarities between some futures –oriented understandings of the Holy Qur'an with the ancient hermeneutic school, in which the text still has considerable weight. In middle hermeneutics and with the formation of the Renaissance and the changes that have occurred in the perception of human, this is human as he to derivate what the author intended in his text.
In philosophical hermeneutics, people enter into a conversation with the text based on their concerns, presuppositions, and preconceptions. Since the existence of human beings can change during their lifetime, in practice it should be said that it is impossible to imagine a future-oriented understanding from the text of revelation. Or that it should be defined in the present tense, which is different from person to person and even during that time for that person. Therefore, the future-oriented understanding of the Holy Quran will be a function of the time and conditions in which man is located, and it seems that this way of understanding is not compatible with the immortality of the teachings of the Quran.

Making current cities intelligent, future technologies will change human life. Intelligent cities will lay the foundations for life’s quality improvement, public health promotion, and prevention of some problems. In spite of their positive effects, intelligent cities pose moral problems for which we have to think now. One of them is that human relations will be mechanized. Adopting an analytical method, this study seeks to consider that this kind of mechanization will lead to some other ethical problems: compassion and altruism will be decreased, people will take much less moral lessons, they will lose their abilities in decision making, and moral exemplars will not play a substantial role anymore. Considering Islamic ethics’ teachings, the present study suggests some solutions such as increasing media knowledge, strengthening and preserving human dignity, and increasing interpersonal communication and so forth.

Future studies as an emerging field has faced many challenges in the last few decades, the most serious of which is leaving the baselessness situation and being equipped with philosophical foundations in order to transform into a scientific field. In this regard, it is faced with basic questions such as how to do research on the future that has not yet been realized, and whether it is even possible to gain knowledge from future-oriented statements. In response to these questions, the authors of the present article first undertake to identify the areas of research about the future and then analyze the serious epistemological issues facing them. Also, taking these issues into consideration, the possibility of gaining knowledge from future assumptions has been analyzed through the lens of three laws of thought. Finally, the authors have explored into the main theories of truth and justification in relation to the future propositions and have proposed theories that are suitable for creating a justified true belief in the future propositions. The results gained by this article indicate that there is an initial possibility of gaining knowledge from future-oriented beliefs. In this regard, the theory of truthfulness has been analyzed and proposed to verify the truth of these beliefs and the theories of introversion and moderate fundamentalism to justify them.

Future research refers to the science and art of exploring the future and shaping the individual’s desirable world. Future research can play a pivotal role in both scientific and religious domains. For this, a relationship can be established between future research and religion. Religious future research can be investigated at two micro and macro levels. This research is first aimed at elaborating on the macro-level religious future research and second at preparing for an ideal community. This article reveals the necessity of the future research from the perspective of religion to describe the position and significance of it in Islam; it also introduces the Mahdavi Utopia teachings as the basis for the macro-level religious future research in Islam to describe the characteristics of this utopia as well as the epistemological structure of the community at an acceptable level. The research findings imply the expectations that religion has of people taking into account the characteristics of a utopia and the social facilities and powers people have, which would help them meet the minimum requirements of a desirable Islamic community within a developmental trend.

The leading subject of the present research is that the system of Mahdavi training and education is itself affected by various components including the system of science and technology in spite of the strategic role in transmitting the revealed thought to the society, and we expect that the emerging trend of technological convergence has a fundamental impact on it; however, these impacts cannot be easily recognized and most importantly, the destiny of the mentioned system in the face of convergent technologies are indistinct. To find an answer to this question, the present qualitative research attempts to depict the possible futures in this trend using Delfi and scenario writing methods. In this regard, at first, a list of macro-trends of technological convergence has been counted and prioritized. In the following, with the coincidence of the uncertainty principle observing these trends, four scenarios of the future of the system of Mahdavi training and education (including the good tree, Solomon’s kingdom, corrupt tree, and Ibrahim in the fire). The findings of this research can guide the authorities in charge of system of Mahdavi and religious training and education in the futuristic face of the development of science and technology especially the convergent technologies.

The legislative model of Hajj is such that it provides a system of individual and collective blessings as well as material and spiritual benefits for the Islamic Ummah and the Islamic community in general. The community of millions, a specific period of time, a certain geographical area, and convergence around the pivot of common beliefs, etc., provide Hajj with a unique and multifunctional potential. But the major question is how much of this potential has been realized and what challenges the Islamic world faces to achieve the goals and functions of Hajj and what are the requirements? To answer these questions, this article tries to introduce Hajj diplomacy as a key pillar in facing challenges and achieving goals by relying on the indices of the philosophy of Hajj legislation and using the method of content analysis. In this regard, this study finds a clearer vision through the re-engineering of Hajj diplomacy with the approach of future studies as a basic strategy, and it considers the necessary flexibility to learn from the experiences of the past four decades as a necessary condition. Meanwhile, explaining some prerequisites for re-engineering Hajj diplomacy, such as elite convergence, introducing new models, and neutralizing Iranophobia and anti-Shiite tactics, etc., the study focuses on discourse-making and providing insights into the need to develop Hajj diplomacy. Due to the diversity and multiplicity of these discourses in the context of Hajj, the study suggests the use of discourse diplomacy.

The study of the behaviors of the Saudi government, as the host state of al-Haramayn al-Sharifayn, and the prediction of the actions of state rulers have always been important topics in the scientific studies of policy researchers. In this article, an attempt is made, using the scenario-writing method, to discuss the short-term future of the Saudi regime’s macro-policies based on the Vision 2030 which also affects the management of the Hajj. The main question of the article is what effects each of the possible scenarios about the Vision 2030 has on the Hajj? Scenario writing is one of the research methods in future research in which, like other methods of future research, there is no hypothesis. The scenarios are formulated according to the James Dittor’s method and are based on the success, failure, or incomplete implementation of the Saudi government’s plans and programs. The purpose of this article is to fully visualize the future in such a way that all its dimensions are considered. The scenarios were designed in such a way that covered a range of upcoming events and it can be claimed that happenings in the coming years will fit within the framework of these scenarios. These are the events of the coming years that will show which scenario is closer to reality but scenario writing is done to prepare policymakers for different situations.

Futures studies and futurism is the art of shaping and mapping the future, which recognizes and studies various futures, including possible, probable, preferred, desirable and definite futures. Mahdism-research based on religious teachings is a field and a way to move towards a dynamic and desirable future by relying on religious propositions that are responsible for moving towards a desirable and definite future. The issue raised in this paper is how to determine the level of analysis and application of the method of process analysis and impact analysis on the process in the fields of Mahdism research. Therefore, this article uses a descriptive and analytical method to explain the method of process analysis and impact analysis on the process in Mahdism. The operational capability of this method in the fields of Mahdism research and facing a desirable and preferred future will be the most important achievements of the forthcoming research.

Futures research is the art of shaping the future and recognizing and studying various futures, including possible, probable, preferred, and desirable futures. Mahdism-research based on religious teachings is a field for moving towards a dynamic and desirable future and heading towards a definite human future. The issue in this article will be how and at what level the analysis and application of the method of observation in the fields of Mahdism and research exists. Therefore, this article explains the observation method in Mahdism with a descriptive and analytical method. The operational capability of the observation method in the fields of Mahdism research and facing the desired and preferred future will be the most important achievements of the forthcoming research.

The objective of the present study is futurology of the process of political identity, aligned with developing an optimal perspective of the Islamic Republic of Iran. In this regard, the opportunities and challenges as result of some events such as globalization, media, and soft war that might be effective on future were studied. Using Trend Impact Analysis (TIA) as method in discovery future studies, this research highlighted some former and likely future procedures as well as important deriving forces in discovering the future of political identity in Iran. The results showed that future political identity in Iran is encountered with numerous opportunities and threats. By using the opportunities and modern communicative means, we can witness considerable increase in people’s participation, public trust, and sense of attachment to one’s country, on the one hand, and transparent, real, and sound relations with foreign countries on the other hand.

Although apparently Islamic seminaries do not follow a course under the title of so-called "political sciences", it has been the Islamic seminary that has presented two socio-political theories in Iran so far and has made it practical in the society. We claim that the existence or non-existence, strength or weakness and being in or out of the context of political thought in Islamic Seminaries is based on the type of attitude to Islam. Therefore, the author has tried to answer the main question of the study which is "What is and will be the place of political thought or knowledge in Islamic seminary?", through a roadmap method that is one of the methods used in futurology (future studies), with this hypothesis that "if Islam is examined from the viewpoint of political-jurisprudential Islam discourse, then, Neither from the perspective of civilizational Islam nor from the perspective of Salafi Islam, we will see the emergence of political thought up to theorizing as well as the establishment of a university and a political college among the clergymen". This paper states: The distinction between seminary thought on politics in terms of trends, factors as well as resource search, the ideal future of political thought based on jurisprudential-political Islam, unlike the other two perspectives, would make political thought and knowledge develop. Thus, through this study, first, the Islamic seminaries, which support political-jurisprudential Islam, will discover their strengths and weaknesses, and there will be an atmosphere for the importance and development of political thought in the Islamic seminaries of the Islamic Republic of Iran based on localization.

“Futures Studies” is the science of studying future to recognize “possible”, “probable”, and “preferable” futures of the society. “Prospection” can also be seen as the art of shaping the future; a processing of the image which drives the future towards the desired state, based on the tribulations of the promised utopia which has found its identity among the Ummah with illustrating the ideals of the past, present and the future. This debate has a special place in Islam. Based on the Shia beliefs, future building at the appearance of the waiting Imam is a clear and comprehensive answer to the innate and fundamental questions of humanity about the desired and ideal life of future. In this regard, we can see the prospection as the creative attempt to the purposeful visualization and construction with reliance on the external realities and available values in the civilization of the society which its main goal is to build a preferable situation in order to create national determination and hope for moving towards the city of “Mahdavi justice” in the light of the tradition of Muhammadi justice and the Alawi justice government. The present research examines the verses and traditions in the form of prospective steps using the theory of “critical realism” and then engages in designing a future image of coordinates of Mahdavi’s justice government in three areas of administration-management, politics-economy, and culture-society.

The present study aims to investigate the relationship between strategic forecasting and moving from fundamental model to the ultimate Islamic-Iranian model of progress. Moving from the fundamental model to the ultimate model of progress and designing strategies to achieve the desired future, introduction of the task descriptions and the timeline for a set of activities and efforts to enter the ideal landscape, are the central arguments of this study. During this descriptive-analytical study, the results showed that although the fundamental model has been designed on the basis of appropriate scientific and methodological criteria, it is essential for it to have a partial capability in terms of the necessary inconsistency between the components and its intrinsic capacities in the field of future research and strategic foresight in the context of future event recognition. Especially in the field of strategic thinking, it is essential to know the future of developments and identify orientations consistent with the stable and enduring goals of the Islamic Republic.

The current paper will examine Mahdiism studies as a novel and independent science with a new term through the field of futurology (future studies). The study starts with an introduction and continues with the expressing the lexical conceptualizations such as Mahdiism, future studies, and thesaurus studies and then deals with the domain of the study. The main objective of the study is to examine Mahdiism studies as a field with having a viewpoint to pastology (past studies) and futurology. Therefore, the research tries to explain Mahdiism studies with two early and later approaches and at last, illustrates the prospect of Mahdiism studies by two exploratory and normative approaches with a futurology attitude.
In the exploratory approach, the paper considers Mahdiism studies a trend and field and in the normative approach, it is seen an interdisciplinary field as an independent Islamic science.

A comprehensive and detailed pattern of Iranian Islamic progress is the prerequisite for achieving the transcendent ideals of good individual and social life style at the individual and society level in order to revive modern Islamic civilization. The end goal of maximum progress is to obtain the most proper, profound and complete knowledge of God, His Caliph, human society, history and nature of civilizations, and how different cultures are in parallel involved in the evolution of divine beliefs, values, and traditions. In this approach, the knower is the human and the identification dependent is himself, too; the end goal of knowledge is finding divine privilege of man as much as possible in all individual, national and international spheres. The critical need to process a general theory of pattern development is the most important point and component in the formation of the pattern of Islamic-Iranian progress pattern. After processing this support theory, while it is employed by all existing and future schools, to enrich and deepen it, a mechanism for constant and dialectical trading (back and forth) of experiences are defined between the principles’ workgroups and the issues of all schools (for more specialized investigations).
