Abstract

One of the issues that can be raised about the relationship between the Islamic Resistance and the worldwide Mahdism government is the nature of the strategies of resistance in the waiting era from the perspective of the Holy Quran. The purpose of identifying the strategies of the resistance is to use them and to strengthen the intellectual and cultural front of the resistance in the era of waiting and providing the context for (Imam Mahdi) reappearance. Dealing with the strategies of resistance in the waiting era highlights the significance of Mahdism culture in the contemporary world and the important role of Islamic resistance in providing the context for (Imam Mahdi) reappearance. These strategies can be examined in three areas: Insight Strategies, Orientation Strategies, and Action Strategies. This study examines the natures of the strategies of resistance in all three areas from the perspective of the Qur'an. Insight strategies works on issues such as the thought of worldwide government and paving the way for the right government, justice, and the defense of the oppressed. In orientation strategies, issues such as the role of authority and capability, not relying on oppressors and the hope of victory are discussed, and in action and behavioral strategies, the role of piety, patience and perseverance, self-sacrifice and enjoining the good and forbidding the evil in resistance in the waiting era are dealt with. The method of this study is descriptive-analytical.
