Narrations of the Infallibles contain the deepest Islamic teachings. Accurate understanding of these teachings depends on careful studies or the jurisprudence of hadith. The hadith " اذا غضب الله علی خلقه نحانا عن جوارهم (If the wrath of God is upon the people, we are on their side)" is one of the hadiths that are used in Mahdavi teachings. Considering the use of this hadith as one of the reasons for the absence of Imam of the Time (A.S), the measurement of document and content is one of the necessities of examining it. The present article, which has done with a descriptive-analytical method, tries to study the hadith jurisprudence of this narration. An examination of this hadith indicates that its documents might be distorted according to biographical (rijali) criteria; But the trust of the men of letters can be considered as the basis for its credibility. The conformity of this hadith with the revelatory teachings and the hadiths of the same family shows the connection between divine wrath and being deprived of God's authority.

The holy religion of Islam includes the roadmap of human life in various fields and its various dimensions of existence, especially humanistic culture. However, the era of the separation of the Imams from the government and the time of the apocalypse, when there is no apparent successor to the Prophet, has caused various damages to the Islamic Ummah, especially in the field of culture, which is a fact that requires more and more serious attention from researchers to re-examine this problem and find a way out of it. Accordingly, we are faced with the question of what the cultural harms of the Islamic world are and how they can be dealt with. It seems that Mahdism and the doctrine of waiting for the promised can be considered as the most effective solution. The purpose of this article is to show the healing prescription for the pains of Islamic societies in the light of the critical examination of the element of awaiting This article follows a descriptive-analytical method to achieve such a goal. Providing a correct definition of awaiting and explaining its two key elements: 1. a definite and certain future; 2. duties and programs, as well as introducing Imam Mahdi (A.S) as the axis of unity of the Islamic Ummah and also referring to the duties of the people and Islamic societies in line with the culture of awaiting are the results of this article.

Every culture has dimensions and characteristics with which familiarity seems to be necessary in order to know that culture accurately and deeply. These characteristics can be divided into several axes such as social, economic, political and .... Mahdavi culture is no exception to this and for knowing it comprehensively and completely, special research and attention is needed. One of the areas that can enter and through which we can help explain the Mahdavi culture, is to address its political dimensions and characteristics. In other words, in the age of appearance, by what mechanism will the Imam dismantle the tyranny and expand the justice system? What will be the characteristics of the Mahdavi government? Also, based on the political characteristics of the Mahdavi government, what should be done in the awaiting era and what characteristics governments should have in this period? In this article, 26 political features of Mahdavi culture are mentioned. This article has a socio-political approach and the method used in it is analytical and narrative.

Therefore, this article explains the observation method in Mahdism with a descriptive and analytical method. The operational capability of the observation method in the fields of Mahdism research and facing the desired and preferred future will be the most important achievements of the forthcoming research.
