Documented Events before the Advent of the Savior
What Will Happen Before the Advent of the Awaited Savior?
The events of the end times and occurrences that will take place before the arrival of the Savior are among the most ambiguous areas concerning the topic of the advent. Questions such as:
What are the events of the End Times?
Do these events occur suddenly or gradually?
What are the most certain signs of the advent and end-time events?
Such questions have led historians and experts in Quranic and hadith sciences to have varying interpretations. However, from the perspective of self-knowledge and an Islamic worldview regarding end-time events, what is significant is correctly preparing and creating a foundation for establishing the new Islamic civilization and the Rule of the Righteous. Imam Mahdi (Peace be upon him) will come only when the groundwork for establishing his divine government has been laid. In other words, the most crucial events of the End Times are those that facilitate or strengthen the establishment of a new divine civilization.
The shift in global civilization from “material civilization” to “human civilization” requires a gradual movement within society to recognize this new civilization. The path to preparing for the establishment of a new divine civilization begins within each individual in society. Until we understand the characteristics and features of this new civilization and recognize our place within it, along with a bright future for ourselves in this civilization, we will lack motivation and desire for its realization and expansion.

The Emergence of a New Islamic Civilization
The righteous government, which represents the ultimate face of the mission of the prophets for the future world, will take shape as a new Islamic civilization. This government will redefine the human being and promote growth in all aspects of human existence. Islam has never had the opportunity to establish and form a government except during the brief rule of the Prophet and Imam Ali (Peace be upon them). In fact, a true Islamic civilization has never had a chance to manifest itself. However, in our time, there is a collective desire among people to establish an Islamic civilization, accompanied by the readiness to create this civilization, allowing us to witness, God willing, its emergence.
The Islamic Revolution of Iran: A Turning Point in Resistance
How does the Axis of Resistance play a role in global policies, and how has it managed to achieve such power and strength that it is considered a dangerous element in the major games of the capitalist system?
Why do the global Zionist regime and the capitalist system dedicate all their efforts to cognitively transforming the Axis of Resistance in the eyes of the world, and how is it that even in this endeavor, they have not been entirely successful?
The beating heart of the Axis of Resistance is Iran. Iran is militarily the only free and secure country that, based on the resistance worldview, has been able to withstand all threats from the Front of Falsehood. In its imposed seven-year Sacred Defense, infiltration, terrorism, and the creation of various disturbances throughout the 47-year history of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, global arrogance believed that by assassinating all military commanders and attacking the heads of the three branches of the Islamic Republic, it could implement a regime change plan and permanently overthrow the Islamic government. However, the Islamic Republic of Iran, through a valiant defense, demonstrated the power of faith, steadfastness, and the monotheism of the Resistance Front to the entire world.
In this unequal war, where the entire Front of Disbelief stood against the Front of Faith, grappling with each other, contrary to the speculations of the Front of Falsehood, the inclination, desire, and trust of the world’s people towards the Islamic Republic of Iran intensified, and we witnessed a wave of global truth-seekers entering the front of light and faith. This war is a war of beliefs, a war waged for the future governance of the world, and according to the predictions of all divine religions, the victorious side will be the Front of Truth.
The Islamic Revolution of Iran and Events Preceding the Advent of Imam Mahdi (Peace be upon him)
The serious formation of the Axis of Resistance in the region can be attributed to the year 1963 and the beginning of Imam Khomeini’s struggles in Iran. Imam Khomeini, with a broader vision on the Palestinian issue, considered confronting Israel as the primary objective and a precursor to the liberation of the entire Islamic world. For Imam, severing Israel’s hand, as a base for foreigners in the region, was of great importance. The victory of the Islamic Revolution of Iran in 1979 laid the groundwork for the formation and revival of popular resistance groups, including Hezbollah and Hamas, who, inspired by the Revolution’s ideology, increasingly saw themselves as more capable of achieving the freedom of Quds. This led to the unprecedented action taken during the October 7th events and the twelve-day war against the occupying Israeli regime.
The truth is that we are witnessing the final demarcation and alignment of two fronts that have stood against each other since the dawn of humanity. This all-out war, which has always been ongoing throughout history, hidden and revealed within the nooks and crannies of events, has become so overt and has approached its decisive moments that no discerning eye can ignore it anymore.
The Islamic Revolution and the Advent of the Promised Savior
The role of the Islamic Revolution in the advent of the Promised Savior is precisely the role of paving the way for the establishment of a righteous government. The Islamic Revolution is the new Islamic civilization that will serve as the foundation and groundwork for the rule of the righteous. Although this revolution still has weaknesses, it has well fulfilled its most important role: nurturing individuals and influential commanders in the field of creating the promised global civilization. The Iranian Revolution is currently the only example of an Islamic government that is rectifying its weaknesses and strengthening itself in various fields, including economics, military system, culture, medicine, agriculture, science, architecture, education, art, etc. The role of the Islamic Revolution in the advent of the Promised Savior is like the role of the initial foundations and pillars in constructing a large building. The rule of the righteous will be established upon these foundations, and the role of the Islamic Revolution of Iran in the advent of the Promised Savior will soon become evident to all.

• Allah, (please do) defend Your vicegerent…and include us with those whom You take up for backing Your religion and for increasing the victory of Your vicegerent.
