The Mahdavi Family

The family is the smallest social institution which has a major role in the development of society. It provides the underlying structures of the identity and emotional. According to these subjects, we need to express the following definitions, in order to the achievement the desired principles.

1. What is the definition of the family?

The first principle is the definition of the family: The family is a set of individuals who are under the father’s supervision. They are duty-bound to upgrade themselves by means of the satisfaction of the Imam Mahdi (peace is upon him), hold their own in interact with the surroundings and be an influence on community growth based on their beliefs.
By this definition of the family, we should accept the other principles.

2 .The role of the father

Father as head of the family, should take the basic steps in the direction of the satisfaction of hidden Imam. So it is a key component that leaves it out of consideration, not only does not solve the problem, but also hurts the family system. Hidden Imam’s satisfaction in life is the spirit of it that is manifested in the continuous presence of the Imam. If the presence is felt by head of the family and he transfers it with a realistic perception to the family, has taken step to form the Mahdavi family.
Recognizing the presence of hidden imam in life, the Mahdavi family tries out for adapt itself with his satisfaction. Such family put itself on course of the holy absent man’s goals, to be in right way and resistant against Devils.

3. The lord’s worship

Worship the lord should rule the lives of the family members. It leads them in a right and sacred direction and identity.

4. The principle of the voluntary evolution and transformation of the family members

Man inevitably is on course of the creation that God has designed and the evolution is continuous which includes all members of society; but sometimes the evolution is voluntary, and that is when the family members adapt themselves to the divine commands and with the knowledge of God and his great messenger (peace be upon him), so they have knowledge of their Imam, otherwise, not only they won’t progress, but also will degrade.

5. The rise of the family awareness

The rise of the awareness regarding the fourth principle, the family members should be familiar with valuable principles and goals; otherwise, they may follow the superstitions that are arisen from irrational prejudices and surrender themselves to the negative influential factors in society that hurt their character and identity.
The family members should be familiar with the Imam Mahdi (peace is upon him), the familiarity should not be about his name and birth certificate, because it is not enough. Family member must believe that he is alive; he is present and his absence means be lacking in his appearance, not be lacking in his presence, he is not appearance, but he is present.
They should know that Imam Mahdi (peace is upon him) is aware of them and knows anything which is in need of knowledge. They will get rid of the social crises through this information and God’s devotion. They will reach the rank of the patience, the perseverance, the confidence, the peace and try for the propagation of God’s values.

6. The promotion of the family health based on the Mahdaviat culture

The above principle should be defined based on the Islamic foundations. When we say the Mahdaviat culture, it means the Islam, Quran and Aatrat and the integrity of the religion of Allah. The culture Islam means the culture that is accompanied by Imam’s satisfaction. The health should be for his satisfaction; we should pay attention carefully to our feed, we should eat permissible feed, we should be moderate in the consumption and avoid the doubts. Commensurate with our capacity, we should give. We reach the mental relaxation through the performance of these duties.

The short and long term goals
1. The reformation and improvement of thought and the family members interaction with each other
2. Make preparations for the family members growth and the continuation of the voluntary movement of man to the lord
3. The discipline and the cohesion of the life material and cultural, based on Islamic values and Mahdavi culture
4. Take care of themselves and do the effort to reform the society on the basis of the principles which govern the family cultural beliefs

The above targets should not remain about the motto, because there is a well-known quote that says: we know what is good, tell me how to do it?

The Mahdavi life approach

The approaches are the spirit of the life and it has taken form on basis of those approaches. The
Mahdavi life approach is just one thing which is the effort for the satisfaction of the Imam Mahdi (peace is upon him). This effort is holy that has taken form with the presence of the Imam Mahdi (peace is upon him)
He has not wrong; he is free from other than Allah; he is aware; yes, he is dear and lovely, because he is more aware than us about us; he is kindest than us for us.
