The vision is a normative and image-oriented approach, not an exploration, but in order to prevent the future of the normative and image-maker from coming to fruition, the exploration of the future has also been used. The Mahdavi vision never comes from the present state, but from the resources (verses and narratives), the upstream documents, core values and core goals are achieved in the ideals of Mahdavi. The present study seeks to provide a methodological model for achieving the visionary approach in Mahdism. Research has begun with the question "How can I use the visionary method in Mahdavi's policy? " In order to answer the main question, we need to have an understanding of the sub-questions that each one is considering in this study. "The Linguistic Meaning of the Eye", "The Necessity of Compiling the Perspective of Mahdavi", "The Necessity of an Appropriate Pattern from the Prospect for the Analysis of Mahdist-Study" and "The Process of Creating the Perspective in the Study of Mahdism", the questions of this research are. In the present study, the normative method and eye viewer are used to advance the analysis. Research has shown that the vision that has always been analyzed in the management and organizational structure can be used as a model of Mahdism in the long term horizons and in line with the fundamental values and fundamental goals of Mahdavi.
