Pathology: Educational Pathology of Mahdavism - 2 معرفی و نقد

خلاصه ماشینی:

Disciple-worship means that during religious education, individuals are trained in such a way that they see the mentor as their ultimate desire, meaning they place him beyond question and view him as if he were the primary source of truth. Disciple-worship, as one of the pathological poles in religious education, is the distorted form of Imamate. In Islamic texts, to protect individuals from slipping into the abyss of disciple-worship, it has always been emphasized that Imam Mahdi (as), in the great task that he will accomplish, is the agent and follower of God. For example, in a narration transmitted by Hamran bin A'yan, we read: ((He asked Imam Baqir (as) and said to him: Are you his Qa'im? In this regard, it is worth mentioning that in the narrations of Mahdavism, the similarity of Imam Mahdi (as) to the Prophet (saw) and Ali (as) in terms of character and lifestyle has been pointed out. Individualism occurs in two ways during the process of religious education: first, by denying the Imamate, and second, by accepting and at the same time generalizing the Imamate. Now, after mentioning the pathology and health in religious education in general, we will explain the points of this axis in the context of Mahdism. As one of the pathologies of religious education, exclusivism in the realm of Mahdism may manifest in such a way that belief in the just government of the Mahdi (aj) leads to the prohibition of any government prior to it.
