While expressing the characteristics of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) as the successor of Muhammad and the savior of humanity in the end times, he has expressed some of the characteristics of the Mahdavi government. The words of Amir al-Mu minin (AS), which is a kind of prophecy from the time of the advent of the last divine deposit, refer to different dimensions of the subject of advent and Mahdism. The purpose of this research is to study Mahdism in the noble book of Nahj al-Balaghah and the valuable words of Imam Ali (AS). As a result of this research, it should be said that the Amir al-Mu minin (AS) in Nahj al-Balaghah have clear references to issues related to Mahdism, and the Babis announced the absence of the last divine authority, the appearance of that Imam and the return of the world to the Ahl al-Bayt (AS).
