According to the Imamiyyah perspective, after the departure of the Noble Prophet, peace be upon him, the explanation and propagation of the teachings of the Prophet have been one of the affairs of Imamate and has been defined around the axis of the Prophet's conduct and tradition. One of the most important affairs and duties of the Prophet of Islam was to implement judgments based on apparent evidence, like arguing based on witnesses and evidence; however, some narrations in Shia sources indicate differences and contradictions in the judicial conduct of that Prophet with the judicial conduct of Imam Mahdi, peace be upon him, in the end times. Given the special features of the governance of Imam Mahdi, peace be upon him, such as the abrogation of taqiyyah (precautionary dissimulation) and the differences in circumstances and exigencies of the time, it is possible to remove the differences of the traditions by a compilation of traditions highlighting the differences in the judicial conduct (apparent ruling and hidden ruling) and consider the method and conduct of Imam Mahdi. (pbuh) to be inspired by the Prophetic conduct. In this study carried out through an "analytical-descriptive" approach, an effort has been made to examine the meaning of conduct, categorize the narrations in this regard, delve into the related narrations, and clarify the two modes of governance and the resolution of existing contradictions.

In some Hadiths, there are a few aligned phrases describing the era of "the End of Time". The reports of the late Ṣaffār and Kulaynī are such that understanding their exact meanings requires paying more attention to some points. Based on this, in this paper, we will examine and analyze the document, vocabulary, and meanings of this narration, especially the meaning of the word "خاج " (the rising of Imam Mahdi by the will of Allah). According to the chain of transmitters, the mentioned Hadith has two authentic or at least acceptable sources. In addition, some factors such as its repetition in the earlier sources and later books and also the non-contradiction of its content with the Qur'an and the Sunnah, strengthen the certainty of issuing this narration from the side of the infallible Imams.
The present article is written by the descriptive-analytical method and using library resources. Studies have tended to show that the Imams were careful to choose the proper words for conveying the meaning; therefore, the word (خاوج) Arising used in this narration is different from two words Appearance and Uprising, in such a way that the appearance of Imam Mahdi (pbuh), unlike his arising, is a rapid thing. It is also possible to distinguish between the Imam’s appearance and arising (as the divine subject) with his uprising (as a social matter). Another difference is that the word (خاوج) Arising is specifically linked to “divine providence” i.e. the time of Appearance is determined by God’s existential will. Then Allah orders the Imam for the appearance, and this order is an example of God’s legislative will. Based on this, it can be said that both the appearance of the Imam and the time of Appearance will happen only by Allah’s will.

One of the most important issues in the history of Islam has been to study the actions of Shiite Imams to make people aware of the absence of Imam Mahdi and to accept this issue. Imams living in Samarra, especially Imam Hassan Askari (pbuh), had an important role in this issue. It is important to examine the actions of these individuals based on the texts that remain. The main issue of this research is that Imam Hassan Askari (pbuh) has used what methods to explain the issue of the absence of Imam Mahdi and lay the groundwork for it in the Islamic society? And what kind of actions have they taken? For this purpose, in this research, using the content analysis method as one of the best interdisciplinary research methods for text research, the narrations and letters of that Imam have been analyzed. In this article, an attempt has been made to obtain a comprehensive understanding of their structure through quantitative, qualitative and descriptive analysis, and finally to discover and explain the function of these texts to explain the issue of the absence of Imam Mahdi (pbuh). What shows the necessity of such researches is paying attention to the educational role of Shiite Imams (pbuh) in the Islamic society and the importance of textual study of hadiths as one of the most important religious sources for recognizing different cultural and social dimensions of historical events.

Literary style is a way to represent the characteristics, beliefs and temperaments of a writer; And one of the approaches of literary stylistics is to study the intellectual, psychological and social motivations effective in selecting the linguistic structures of a literary work. This research tries to study the effective components in creating the literary style of one of the Arabic poems of Mohammad Nasir Isfahani with a descriptive-analytical approach; One of the poets of the twelfth century AH, About the praise of Imam Mahdi (pbuh) and determine their reflection in his linguistic structures. The results show that the poet adheres to Shiite beliefs; Prevalence of these ideas during his lifetime; Special devotion to Imam Mahdi (pbuh), Being a medico; Separation of companions and living in exile are among the factors shaping the structure of this eulogy and he has used the artistic tools of the word to conceptualize this poem and by creating theological proportions, she has expressed her desired concept in a glorious way.

According to a misgiving, the birth of a child by Imam Hassan Askari (pbuh) named "Mahdi" is suspicious. This impression states that authentic historical documents accepted by Sunnis do not confirm the birth of such a child. In other words, there is no conclusive historical document that is confirmed by the Sunnis criteria in accepting historical hadiths regarding the birth and life of the Mahdi (pbuh). Therefore, it may be impossible for the Sunnis to accept the existence and life of the Mahdi (pbuh). In order to criticize this doubt, it should be said that the issue of believing the birth and life of Mahdi (pbuh) is not limited to Shiites; rather, the existence of a large number of hadiths on the birth of Mahdi (pbuh) in the authentic sources of hadith and Sunni hadiths shows the importance of them. The frequent hadiths of the infallibles (peace be upon them) related to Mahdi (pbuh) show that their validity has also been confirmed by the Sunni scholar’s and criteria. In addition, the acceptance and confirmation of the event of the birth of the Mahdi (pbuh) by genealogists who are mostly Sunni and the testimony of trusted persons who observed the Imam after birth and during his absence, has clearly added to the strength of such evidences. All these reasons are enough for the Sunnis to believe in the birth and life of Imam Mahdi (pbuh).

Part of the studies of Western Islamologists in the field of Shiism presents in the form of encyclopedias. Encyclopedia plays an important role in guiding scientific studies as well as public opinions. One of the most prestigious English encyclopedias in the field of religious studies is the New Catholic Encyclopedia. Some parts of this encyclopedia are dedicated to Shi’ism. Using a descriptive-analytical and desk-research method, this paper analyzes the Shi’a Imamiyyah position in New Catholic Encyclopedia. The results show that although some parts of this encyclopedia are correct, the image of the Shiite is not complete. Rejecting the issue of the Prophet’s immediate succession and originality of Mahdavism are among the major weaknesses of this encyclopedia.

This research, by analyzing the nature and type of divine caliphate, describes the necessity of Khalifah of Allah and Imam Mahdi (PBUH) being Khalifa of Allah based on the views of Ayatollah Beladi Bushehri. In his view, the philosophy of the work of the divine prophets and the philosophy of the installation and appointment of Imam is related to the position of Imam Mahdi's Caliph of Allah. This position, the Imam Mahdi (PBUH) Caliphate, is the manifestation of the divine mercy and the offering of grace and of the traditions of God, for the creation of the caliph of Allah. The persistence of the goals of the Prophets, including the thinking and intellectual authority, the preservation and continuation of the Sharia, the continuity of guidance, the protection of religion from its distortion and their proper implementation are the essential components of the need for the Khalifah of Allah in the field of theology. From the point of view of Allama Beladi, the difference between the caliph of Allah, the Khalifa al-Rasul and the Imam, Imam Mahdi (AS) is not inherent in all attributes, authorities and actions, except for prophecy like prophets.

This article, studies the relationship between the notion of al-Saadah (happiness) and Ideal lifestyle according to the principle of Allameh Tabatabaei. According to Allameh's viewpoints on theology and interpretation, Saadah (happiness) is the existential good that is a prelude for perfection of the being; in human being that is a combination of soul and body, it is a good that is corresponding to his mental and bodily powers. This Saadah has stages, levels, and categories such as worldly and otherworldly; human being can choose and acquire the path of Saadah (happiness). He holds that the truth of Saadah is laid down on passing the stages of Tawhid (monotheism), 'Ubudiyyah (obedience), and connecting to the substance of God. Therefore, the one who believes in this notion and holds that the truth of Saadah is in liqa 'Allah (meeting with God), is to find a path that leads him to the the desired stage, to acquire and reach this truth. Considering the comprehensiveness and special capacities of Islam particularly Shia, educating people through affection and love would be the best presented path, in which the truth of such affection is in the God's affection and in the second level the affection of the leaders of the perfection and Saadah path. Meanwhile, affection and knowing Imam Mahdi (PBUH) is one of the present instances of divine leaders that leads people to the excellence of human and reach them to worldly and otherworldly Saadah through creating an awaiting lifestyle and his perfection influence on different aspects such as intellectual aspect, spiritual-psychological aspect, ethical aspect, and practical aspect.

Anthropological researches are a branch of sociological researches, mostly conducted with a qualitative method. In this type of research, the researcher tries to enter the research milieu with a multicultural mentality and with no prejudice to find his answers using a variety of techniques. The present article is a sample of this type of anthropological researches, conducted qualitatively by studying documents and interviews on the subject of ‘petition well of Jamkarān’. Some of the research questions are as follows: ‘Is the Jamkarān petition well a sacred place?’; ‘Is throwing written petitions into the Jamkarān well a superstitious practice or a religiously documented one?’; ‘If it is religiously documented, was it being done by religious scholars and great religious men as well?’; ‘What is the typology of those who throw their written petitions into the Jamkarān well?’; ‘May we classify the opponents of this practice into various types intellectually?’. Some of the research findings are as follows: This well has no sacred aspect and has been dug just for throwing written petitions; writing petitions is religiously documented in Islamic traditions; and the religious scholars would do this as well. Besides, the opponents and proponents of this practice are of a wide range.
