Preparation and the role of rationalism during the appearance period

Human face the idea of mahdaviat while searching for perfection. This idea has promised the human achieving all sorts of perfection in the period of Mahdi’s reign. One of the basic kinds of perfection in Mahdaviat period is the perfection of rationality and this can be proved by valid narrations and some reasons like the philosophy behind choosing prophets and also the philosophy behind the creation and the guidance of a mature human. But since the perfection can not occur in human accidentally and explosively and also the divine traditions, the philosophy of history and the narrative and rational reasons testifies that this perfection needs planning and preparation in Mahdi’s appearance period. This study proposes that rationality is the solution to pave the ground for shortening the time of waiting for Mahdi’s appearance and for raising human’s capacity to understand that period. Human is able to provide the opportunity to improve this talent via knowing the factors and obstacles in developing rationality and make human ready for the acceptance of Mahdi’s appearance period. In the appearance period, Imam Mahdi helps people who are susceptible and prone to rationality to be perfect as much as possible. Then through this perfected rationality which has an important effect on all human’s dimensions, he leads human toward perfection in all different fields of politics, economics, ethics and etc. And the ideal human society is formed in Mahdaviat reign.
