Manifestation of waiting in the process of future-making is one of the important and non-analyzed effects of Messianism. Imam Mahdi’s dignity in guiding people in Occultation period arouses reflection and thought and has a significant impact on the formation of future trends; to the extent that we can say his name, his perceived actions and character like a lantern in the dark seas guides the lost and confused ships who are exposed to diversion and loss in their own ambiguity in future’s direction. The metaphorical approach to the status of Imam, as a guiding lighthouse and a light illuminating people’s path from present to future is stated along the interpretations in the Fourteen Impeccables’ Sunnah, such as “Misbah al-Huda” (the guidance light) and “Tavoos Ahl al-Jannah” (the peacock of the people of Heaven). This approach is emphasized along the subjects of the holy Quran’s verses and the prayers transmitted by Tradition which consider knowing the Imam as the inevitable condition of salvation, redemption and keeping the faith, and states consciously obeying the Imam is the prerequisite of Islam and servant-hood before the Lord and consider knowing the Imam as the result of knowing Two Weighty Things and obeying God’s orders. Consequently, the Imam’s dignity, in his appearance and occultation, is always guiding every single servant of the Almighty God and is their sign of guidance and the illuminating light of their path to the future that lies deep in the near future.
