Abstract :

Since believing in the principle of Mahdism by creating a spirit of cheerfulness and hope in human beings, strengthens their resistance against oppression and force is a valuable issue for human societies and therefore to the detriment of the enemies of Islam and always in different ways. Including the denial of Mahdism, they have fought against it. A group of deniers of Mahdism, by expressing the suspicion that the thought of Mahdism has negative effects and effects such as stagnation, lethargy, corruption and destruction in the Islamic society, have considered the basis of Mahdism thinking as fake and have denied that this is the case. It has been done without a detailed study of the issue and only by quoting the words of Ibn Khaldun and adding doubts to his words. This article, while expressing this doubt and related cases, has tried to take an effective step to eliminate the conspiracies of the enemies of Islam by answering it and removing the ambiguities related to it, and to prevent the penetration of these thoughts in the minds of thinkers.
