The Advent of the Promised One is among the most fundamental beliefs of the Shiites. In the middle of the Qajar period, the Waiting for the Advent in the face of the 'idea of the nearness of the Advent,' rose to the top of the ideological discourse. However, since Waiting is generally examined in its external manifestation, the mentality of the Advent during the Qajar period has received less attention. This is because the external manifestation of Waiting itself is often reduced to the form of claimants of messianism. As if there was only a single mentality of the Advent. However, the goal of this research is to demonstrate the different mentalities of the Advent and to examine their differences in confronting the idea of the nearness of the Advent. By proposing the hypothesis that different mentalities of the Advent constructed different forms of Waiting, the question is: what different forms did the Waiting for the Advent take during the Qajar period? The research hypothesis was tested using the theories of Georg Simmel. The research was conducted through the descriptive-analytical method using primary sources. The result of the research shows that, despite all formal differences, the very content of the Waiting for the Advent, as an inherent essence, remained intact during the Qajar period. A single essence that was perceived differently in the diversity of mentalities.
