In this insightful interview, Dr. Rafiei takes a scholarly, source-based approach to the topic of Mahdism. He addresses the “pathology of Mahdism”—common misconceptions and false narratives that distract believers from their primary duties during the period of Occultation.

In this video, you will learn:
Source-Based Mahdism: Why we must rely on authentic narrations (Al-Ghaybah, etc.) rather than speculative symbolism.
Definite vs. Indefinite Signs: Dr. Rafiei clarifies the distinction between the five definite signs of the Reappearance and non-definite events.
The Mission of the Believer: How to prepare for the Reappearance by fulfilling daily responsibilities instead of getting lost in myths.
Correcting Narratives: Why symbolic readings of signs like the “Sufyani” or “Dajjal” can be dangerous and misleading.
Don’t miss this essential breakdown of one of the most important topics in Islamic theology.
