The Shi’a society does not just rely on the high points of its past history. It looks to the future. A person who believes in the issue of Mahdaviat, according to the Shi’a beliefs, will not despair or lose hope in their heart even when faced with the most difficult circumstances. The flame of hope will always exist. They know that this period of darkness, this period of oppression, and this period of falsehood ruling over truth will definitely come to an end.
