Futurism is the art of shaping the future and recognizing and studying various futures, including possible, probable, preferred and desirable futures. On the other hand, Mahdism research based on religious teachings is a field to move towards a dynamic and desirable future and a movement towards a definite human future. The issue that will be addressed in this article will be the explanation of the relationship between futures research and Mahdism research and the analysis and application of the panel method in the fields of Mahdism research will be investigated. Therefore, this article uses a descriptive and analytical method to explain the relationship between futures research and Mahdism and the application of the panel method in Mahdism. The similarities and convergence of Mahdism topics in the field of futurology, the brief differences between these two research trends and also the operational capability of the panel method in the field of Mahdism and facing the desired and preferred future will be the most important research achievement.
