In the belief of Shiites, imams have knowledge from Allah the Almighty and on the basis of that, they have excelled in various matters, one of the examples of which is foretelling. One of the issues that can be researched in the life of Imam Ali (as) is the function of the foretelling issued in different social conditions for different people. The problem of the present research is that what was the function of individual-centered foretelling in the life of Imam Ali (as)? Knowing the function, on the other hand, shows the distinction of Imam Ali’s (as) knowledge in comparison to the Companions and Caliphs, and it has also led to the understanding of his specialties in guiding people and societies, which has functions such as the following:Preparing companions for endurance against enemies expanding belief in the position of Imam's knowledge; proving and establishing the authenticity of the Imam, criterion to identify the enemy; the epistemology of the caliphate in the generation of the first caliphs, warning against deviant people, identifying anti-Ahl al-Bayt (as) elements, and the consequences of not accompanying the Imam of the Islamic community. In the end, this research has come to the conclusion that considering the role of people in historical events, Imam Ali (as) gave guidance with a forward-looking view in the form of foretelling. This research has been done in the form of a library with a descriptive and analytical method.

Since the personal and social life of each individual is influenced by his identity, one of the important and different dimensions of today's studies in the field of anthropology is paying attention to the category of education, identity and human existence. On the other hand, the conscious and exploratory search for identity and its various dimensions is a new phenomenon. The findings show that by knowing the place and role of religious identity, one of the basic components of civilization can be achieved, which plays a significant role in the development of human identity.Examining social changes and the development of current societies proves more and more the necessity of knowing the important and effective dimensions and components on identifying and knowing the element of education. The future has a dim face for humans; but planning and foresight, attention and recognition are necessary. Most people who think about their happiness, move forward with a plan in their lives. They often focus on factors that affect their foresight. They become accurate so that they can achieve the desired results with a correct vision of the future. The current research is trying to analyze the verses of the Holy Quran with the descriptive-analytical method and by using the method of analyzing the texts and library documents. The results of this work show that the foundations of theology, anthropology and worldview are effective in the formation and stabilization of religious identity, and on the other hand, important factors such as faith in God, belief in the afterlife, thinking, having a goal, consultation, historical perspective, etc. are among the things that strengthen foresight

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.

The human actions have been described and evaluated by multiple words in the educational context of Quran. The concept of “Amal-e Saleh” is one of the most important and most frequent concepts in Quran that refers to a high quality of human action in comparison to other good actions. Although the words in Quran describing good actions have similarities with each other, each one has its unique and distinctive meaning. Therefore this study aims to explore the meaning of “Amal-e Saleh” based on the theory of “human as an agent” with emphasis on social dimensions of action and to present its differential aspects with other similar concepts. According to the results, the differential aspects of Amal-e Saleh include four dimensions: 1. Rationalism; 2. Faith and Sincerity; 3. Determination and 4. Designing and foresight; while all of them could be abstracted as being “strategic”. Such an interpretation is not an individualistic concept, but rather indicates the active presence of “Salehin” in society. Finally the educational and practical implications of this concept for managing the social life have been elucidated.

Understanding and insight in light of the guidance of the Qur’ān and the Ahl al-Bayt (A.S.), have genuine signs which would lead to human happiness. Denotation of the supplication, “Allāhumma ‘arrifnī nafsak …” (O Allah! Make Yourself known to me …) to the necessity of knowing the Imam for knowing the Prophet and God, is very alarming; it regards knowing the Imam as an introduction to guidance and deliverance from being misled. This research is intended to delineate a secure entrance to the future that is supposed to lead to the sovereignty of the pious on earth. In this approach, knowledge about the Imam and awaiting his reappearance denotes the capacity for foreseeing and moving toward the path, the manner and rules of movement; as the real awaiter is the one who knows the rights of the Imam and the rules of moving towards reappearance. Thus, the strategy for entering the promised future is an epistemological strategy based on mindfulness and awareness; and, it can even be claimed that the increase of the maturity and awareness of the followers would cause the decrease in the awaiting period.
