Abstract
The “moral future of the world” has always been at the focus of human and divine schools. The importance of moral issues in the future, especially their absoluteness or relativity, is in terms of direct intervention they have on the regulation of the beliefs, attitudes, and moral behaviors of human beings in the present time. The purpose of this research is to investigate the extent to which the future is attracted towards the absolute and relative morality, and the future world, in which existential and epistemological context, will be a moral world. The method of this research is descriptive-analytic, and examines the moral status of future communities by explaining the two important components of “inevitability or possibility of the future” and “human evolution”. The views of futurologists have been proposed and their effectiveness or inconsistency with religious criteria has been assessed. The findings of the research indicate that from a religious perspective, the future of the world will be a “moral-centered future” and this approach will be realized through the certainty of phenomenon of appearance and the universal function of Imam of the Time (A.S). considering these two mentioned characteristics, the moral encounter of human in future will be in line with the final promise of the religion to establish a single global government.
