Mahdism in Philosophy of History

Share the post :

The philosophy of history is considered a branch of knowledge that deals with issues of history and human activity, in a way different from that sought by narrative or analytical history.

 It seeks to reveal the meaning of history, the direction it is heading towards, and the laws that govern it. All this happens after raising the basic question about the origin of the existence of meaning, direction and laws for human movement in history and time. Hence, the issue of Mahdism in Islamic thought in general, and Imamate thought in particular, constituted a matter that depicts an ideal scene for the conclusion of history and the end of time, this is through presenting the complete model that humanity awaits.

Therefore, the search for Mahdism, as one of the visions of the philosophy of history, was the subject of consideration in this research. We sought to clarify the features of history and the direction it is heading towards, according to the transmitted Quranic and Hadith facts, as well as the philosophical facts, and then the search for the position of Mahdism and the appearance [zuhur], according to this vision that the religious philosophical text and thought present to us.
