								  | Writing about Mahdism has been one of the important approaches of authors since the early Hijri centuries until now. Sheikh Saduq and Sheikh Toosi, both of whom are among the authors of the Four Books, have left behind some independent works on Mahdism. Comparing the approaches of these two religious scholars in the comprehensive books of Kamal al-Din wa Tamam al-Ni'ma and al-Gheiba shows that their deliberations on Hazrat-e Mahdi (aj.) have a lot in common, and their approach towards writing about Mahdism can be considered narrative-rational and argumentative, though they have adopted two completely different ways of authorship. |
