Translated by: Mujtaba Al-Helu
The era of Debut is the time of moral, intellectual, ideological, and political prosperity. It is also the time, during which divine laws, logic, and transcendental moralities dominate.
This research studies the necessity of aspiring to moral sagacity, in order to overcome all factors of social corruptions and to found a religious utopia. In other words, divine instructions are the path to spiritual purity and worldly prosperity.
As a matter of fact, moral sagacity is a means of identifying the right path to overcome the flaws of the society. It also enables the individuals to get acquainted with divine instructions and the way to overcome all obstacles. Thus, Man shall aspire to soar to the limitless horizon of morality and perfection.
Accordingly, the main question posed in this research is that what is the means by which one may reach to «moral sagacity» in the era of Debut? Is it possible to apply a comprehensive social reformation? If the answer is positive, what is the means of carrying out such reformations?
Through a perusal of the narrations, one may perceive obviously that Imam Al-Mahdi (P.B.U.H) shall impose fundamental reformations on the life of his subjects. He will inevitably establish an Islamic utopia.
In sum, Imam Al-Mahdi (P.B.U.H) will strive to help his subjects to transcend to lofty moral statuses.
