thought, the savior, the Mahdist idea, the religious framework.Abstract
The political, economic and geographical factors had an effective and important impact in creating the idea of the savior and the emergence of Imam Mahdi (pbuh) among many of the poor and oppressed classes, and these principles were convinced by these classes and these peoples in all periods of tragic human history, after which an idea of salvation from human injustice and oppression.
Some still believe in it, and will continue to believe in it as long as the current world is ruled by injustice, which has become the rule and justice the exception.
The Mahdist faith - as it is well known - is dominated by the (spontaneous) character of the common people, as these classes accept everything they receive without scrutiny and scrutiny, as they are issued by symbols and personalities that have legal value, and criticism is not possible except for some very few of them.
It is self-evident to say that the civilized peoples who kept pace with the civilizational development were able to find their savior from within.
If it were possible for these ignorant peoples to understand the truth, they would see that the history of humanity is full of falsehood, lies and deceit, and that many personalities in the history of humanity do not deserve the appreciation, reverence and reverence they are.
