"Over the history...

"Over the history, the appearance of the savior Imam prepared the collective conscience in order to face Mahdy's revolution and the world-wide reform." The Mahdaviate followed up the religious rebirth by respecting Prophets' experiences and considered the incomplete temporary rebirths as dangerous, being known they couldn't determine people adhere to religion unless a sacred personality pertaining to the Prophets' category was present among them. The Iranian philosopher, Dr. A.

Souroush stated that: "The Mahdaviate is accepted in our religious society. It is part of the religious life of our nation both before the Islamic Revolution and moreover, in present, when Islamic government is developing. Mahdy's epiphany will usher in for the Islamic world a new era of justice and wealth." 3.

Philosophy- Politics and the great thinkers of Islam One of the greatest philosophers of Islam, FARABI (257-338 according to selenary calendar), brought a major contribution to the political philosophy of Islam. He was the one who debated upon the bases of political judgment and social ideas with regard to town in the Islamic world. According to FARABI's conception, Politics is part of Philosophy or of a well organized system, presented by philosophers like a rational structured organism.

The tradition FARABI followed in elaborating the political thought was taken over from the great philosophers of ancient Greece, Platon and Aristotle. Two of his most important philosophical works are The Civil Politics and Judgments of the inhabitants of the city of Utopia (Judgments of Utopia's inhabitants).

'The Civil Politics" presented a hierarchy of existence: origin in primary condition; origin in secondary condition; active reason in third condition; instinct in fourth condition; form in fifth condition; substance in sixth condition; Further on, the author defined and explained each condition reaching "the tenth reason", also called "active reason", which, in his opinion, would be responsible for the way the spiritual and material existence of human being are organized.

His conclusion is that perfection can be reached provided that people get rid of their savage instincts and leave aside the material world. In Judgments of Utopia's inhabitants, reasoning followed the same direction except for it was much more detailed. The first chapter, Introduction to the primary essence, described man as having no defects and acquiring eternal existence and absolute perfection.
