Abstract

The claimants of Mahdism, with their false and untrue claims, have caused many challenges and harms in various personal, social, worldly, hereafter, material, spiritual, epistemological, behavioral, action, etc. dimensions among the waiting people and society. One of these challenges facing the waiting people is the harm caused by the claimants of Mahdism in terms of knowledge and behavior, and it provides the basis for deviations and deviations in the knowledge and behavior of the waiting people. In order to solve this problem, comprehensive research should be done in this regard. This writing has addressed the cognitive and behavioral challenges of the waiting people and the waiting society with the documentary and library method and descriptive and analytical data processing. The achievements obtained from research in this field are arranged in four components: wise life is the way out of ignorant life, world-centeredness is the way out of agnosticism, true saviorism is the way out of false saviorism, and pacifism is the way out of militancy.
