The Man of the Future The man of our time is either a “perfect man”, or an “ordinary man”. The “perfect man” is Imam Mahdi, and the average human being, all of us. Likewise, the man of the future is either a perfect man (Imam Mahdi) or an ordinary man, who obeys the longed-for Imam Mahdi. The ordinary people are either a real Mahdawi or a little bit less or not at all Mahdawi. The more Mahdavi the man of today is, the better his future will be, because the future lays in the light of Imam Madi (a).
