Intellectual references for Mahdist movements and embassy claims from within the Islamic system: an intellectual-political reading

Abstract

The intellectual references of the Mahdist movements were not the result of the minor of absence, as the intellectual basis (of absence) was presented in the mentality of the Muslim individual. The Mahdist idea and the absence of Al Mahdi, was not an external idea, as it was dealt with before it occurred. In addition to being recognized by some, it is no secret that the ruling authority has a role in this regard.

In addition, there is a set of factors at the internal and external levels that have a continuous contribution to the penetration of the movements claiming the Mahdism, especially with the availability of the environment that generates and adopts them on one aspect, and the failure to follow up the Mahdist issue with its conditions on the other aspect that makes the general framework for this issue as a historical and doctrinal issue contributed greatly to justifying the claim of Mahdism throughout history.
