Truly waiting faithful Muslims are committed to Islamic ethics and polite and well-behaved as the religion also requires them to be. Moreover, in the traditions relating to the Waiting period, sometimes a specific moral trait seems to be emphasized and stressed because of the special circumstances of this (Waiting) period. In this particular era that we live, there are problems that a truly waiting Muslim should strengthen itself and develop certain moral attributes in order to deal with them properly. With this perspective, an occultation Code can be proposed that can also be referred to as the occultation of Applied Ethics. Some of these are moral traits are patience, hope, submission, chastity and helping generously. In the present article, an attempt is made to explain why the emphasis of innocent leaders (Twelve Imams) on these moral traits is significant. Moreover, the need to strengthen these traits in this day and age is explained according to the analysis of occultation.

The role of Mahdism lifestyle in the experience of artists As the creators of artwork and the artists' inner experience has a fundamental role in the process of formation and origin of a work of art, its effect is resulted from a feeling, emotion, imagination they owned. The question explored in this paper is what the position of Mahdism is in the Muslim artists' experience. In this article, we have tried to answer this question that an artists' belief in Shiite Mahdism can influence his artistic experience if they know the role of Mahdism in the intellectual and epistemological system, especially the Shiite gnosis, which eventually leads to fine Mahdist arts.The expectation to invent and create the works of art is just based on the style of life and experience of the artist which has Mahdism playing a prominent role and presence.In the absence of internal love as well as a deep understanding of it in terms of the experience of artist, (official) ordering of a work of art in it self, would not create a work of art.

Morality and ethics which is ground-setting is a pillar the ground-setting community. Because the morality is a foundation of society, or in other words, strengthening the society, it is one of the measures of the relationship amongst the people in the community. Discussing the moral and ethical issue not only makes the society ameliorate but also assesses its readiness to do.However, there is some distinction between ethics in its general sense of morality and ethics in the context of ground-setting approach. Because observance of ethical issues will not necessarily lead to ground-setting, in other words, the ground-setting ethics is a specific approach with regard to the preparation and training of the society for the establishment of the promised universal spiritual government. This paper aims to put forward an idea of ground-setting ethics and morality and its relationship with strategic outlook and lifestyle. Thus, along the lines of focusing on ground-setting ethics, there will be an attention to the lifestyle issue and the signs of emergence from a strategic point of view and strategic features of the ground-setting morality. In the end, a model is proposed for explaining the interaction between lifestyle and the morality and ethics of ground-setting.

The artistic creator has an instrumental role in shaping the artistic process and the origin of the artwork, is the inner experience of the artist and the artwork comes from the feeling, emotion, imagination and thought of its author. Given this, the current paper asks how Mahdism has a presence and standing in the artistic experience of Shiites. The answer is if the Shiite artist understands the messianic role in the intellectual and epistemological system of Shia - specifically Shiite mysticism, this messianic belief will influence his artistic experience and leads to the creation of fine Mahdavi arts. The expectation to create Mahdavi arts is solely based on a lifestyle and experience that Mahdism has a big role and presence in. In the absence of an internal love and absence of a deep understanding of Mahdism, the official ordering of an artistic work would not solely lead to creation of fine Mahdavi arts.

A new issue raised in our community is the lifestyles of people. In this paper, the issue is applied and studied using library and analysis methods, focusing on the lifestyle of managers (ground-setting for Mahdism) in the field of managing personal lifestyle and governance lifestyle. This is conducted taking advantage of the verses and hadiths in Islam. Elements such as political piety, modesty and humility, being always available to the poor are considered as lifestyle elements that need to be present in such managers. Moreover, commitment to elitism and decision making which is guided by council, tolerance of social dissent, preserving the sense of social unity and national consistency in the words and acts of managers as well as pardoning the citizens misdemeanors are also considered as management lifestyle of such governors.

Ground-setting morality, as a part of Islamic morality, concerns the virtue and moral behavior derived from the doctrine of Mahdism which provides personal and social circumstances of waiting for Imam Mahdi's emergence. In ground-setting morality, the ethical act leads to reaching true prosperity, which is realized in the emergence of Imam Mahdi.Historically, the family ethics has been a serious consideration for Infallible Imams and ethics scholars in the domain of ethics. It has been also a part of practical wisdom (housekeeping), which is today, in the field of applied ethics. Applied ethics is comprised of various fields such as spouse ethics, marriage ethics, sexual ethics, management ethics, motherhood ethics and education ethics. In this paper, after a review of basic knowledge and understanding of the concepts of family, morality, ethics and religion, a comprehensive definition of morality ground-setting will be provided, and we tried to consider the virtues and ethical behavior derived from the teachings of Mahdism ethics in seven areas of family (nuclear families). In this context, the attributes and actions of piety, morality, jurisprudence, and the Perseverance, is argued to be derived from the noble tradition: "Aynoony-be-varae-va-ejtehad-va-Sadad" which means but help me and join me in the pursuit of righteousness, piety, at the discretion of effort and hard work, in chastity and in perseverance for the truth. These are the core of ethical ground-setting and their effect and realizations of their work on the relationship between spouses and parents with children. Thereby, explaining this may launch a new initiative to promote and a small step towards the ethics based on Mahdism.
