Abstract

Today, the Shi'a anticipating community sometimes experiences a kind of stagnation and passive waiting, which indicates a lack of active hopefulness among those who await. This is despite the fact that anticipation without hope will be dormant and weak, unable to fulfill the political functions of the anticipating society. Based on this necessity, this study, employing a descriptive-analytical method, seeks to explain the functions of instilling hope in realizing active anticipation, with an emphasis on the thought of Ayatollah Safi Golpaygani. The main achievements of this research include: establishing a link between hopefulness and active anticipation, explaining the fundamental role of hope in active anticipation, and elucidating the role of active anticipation in achieving vitality and dynamism for the anticipating society in the governmental sphere and in paving the way for the advent.
