This study as illustration of the Shiite “Historical thinking” is not exclusively con-cerned with the narration of historical events, but also does not want to be un-derstood merely as a narration of sense. It is mainly about the historical dimen-sion and, above all, about the historical thinking of Islam. “History” is widely re-garded as a central aspect of Islamic thought as a whole and brings with it a his-torical research area that focuses on both theological and cultural areas in a reli-gious context: “Historical thought”. The “historical thinking” of Shia Islam, which itself is in the light of the Quran, aims to show the causes of negative and posi-tive developments, which helps us to shape our lifestyle. With topics such as: “The deep sense of history”, “the Lord of history”, “the goal of history”, “historical scheme of choosing”, “the Messages of history”, “history and identity”, “history as/and hermeneutics”, “future in the light of the expectation of Imam Mahdi (a)”, “the Man of the Future”, “Shiite expectation theology”, “expectation and respon-sibility”, “inculturation of the expectation discourse”, “international dimension of expectation”, “expectation in a socio-political context”.weiterlesen
