"Intiẓār" (Awaiting the advent of Imam Mahdi) is a phenomenon with a functional and active role in human life. Contrary to the current view that considers Intiẓār as a reprehensible and undesirable thing, the Muntaẓir one, who is expectant and prepared for the advent of Imam Mahdi, during the continuation of the Imam’s occultation, seeks help from the blessing of Intiẓār for self-refinement and, accordingly, the social foundation of the appearance of the Imam until the realization of world government. To clarify the view of Ayatollah Ṣāfi Golpāyegāni, as one of the religious authorities of Shia and one of the best experts in the field of Mahdism and social functions of Intiẓār, is of double importance. According to him, Intiẓār is the guarantor of the survival of the Shiite society and the realization of the rule of global justice. This article is written to analyze the social functions of waiting in the thoughts of Ayatollah Ṣāfi Golpāyegāni. Some of the important results of this research about the social functions of Intiẓār, are as follows: realizing social justice in the society, preventing any regression towards the culture of Ignorance, resistance and stability against corrupt leadership, and fighting against all kinds of deviations. This article has been compiled in a library method and written in a descriptive-analytical way.

Believing in Mahdism and Intiẓār is an Islamic belief with a solid support of intellectual arguments and narrated evidences. Considering the importance of this issue and its effect on human insight, the present research has investigated the effect of this belief on self-inspection, taking the cognition of God, and the Imam, using the descriptive-analytical method. The results of the research show that believing in Mahdism and Intiẓār causes people to know God and, with a more general view, knowledge about religion. This belief in the field of Imamology, in turn, increases knowledge and consequently causes more love for the Imam. By knowing the Imam and taking cognizance of the ultimate goal, the rule of right governance, and acceptance of Wilāyat al-Faqīh is obtained. This belief will increase self-knowledge and personal and social duties in the field of Mahdism and Intiẓār. Therefore, there are reciprocal relationships between taking cognizance of God, the Imam and self-knowledge, in a way that each of them influences the other.
