Analytical-Anecdotal Study of the Element of " Spiritual Vision" Among the Companions of Imam Mahdi (A.S)

One of the important issues, which has recently entered the country’s social and political literature and is deeply rooted in our religious thought, is “spiritual vision”. Spiritual vision is the true and deep knowledge and wisdom that has many dimensions and components. Obviously, the characteristics of Imam Mahdi’s companions can be studied separately. What we want to express now is Imam Mahdi’s movement followed by a government and spread of justice throughout the world and its fulfillment depends both on the spiritual leader and the characteristics of his companions so this great Divine Aid is achieved. That special feature in the companions of Imam of the Time is the spiritual vision, which is in accordance to the philosophy of Divine mission of prophets and Prophet’s Household but due to the lack of spiritual vision in their special companions, they failed to fulfill their mission. In this paper, by a descriptive-analytic method with reference to Quranic verses and traditions, we investigate the element of spiritual vision in its various dimensions including doctrinal, social, political and practical aspects in relation to the companions of Imam Mahdi.
