Ma`rifat

Mahdism is one of the most important topics in Islamic studies, which has been common among Muslims for a long time. Expressing the moral effects of Mahdism on the family during the period of the Occultation of the Imam is an important issue that needs attention. A correct explanation and a firm belief in the idea of Mahdism can bring about profound change in the life of an Islamic family, and important blessings and positive effects will be bestowed upon the family through this belief. Using a descriptive-analytical method, this study focuses on religious texts and sources to investigate the moral effects of belief in Mahdism in an Islamic family. A constructive and correct belief in Mahdism helps the family to create good qualities, prevent despair and hopelessness, feel security and peace, achieve spiritual perfection, create hope and increasing efforts to solve problems, create unity and solidarity in the family and play a fundamental role in raising children. Without this correct and constructive belief, these effects would not manifest in the family.
