The Takfiri Salafists, as one of the earliest intellectual milestones in Islamic history, have always faced many chaos and problems in the Islamic world and have survived with ups and downs so far, but today to weaken the power of Salafist-Takfiri groups, especially ISIS in Iraq and Syria, have suddenly taken the field of conflict amidst Arab revolutions in the Middle East and gradually became a global challenge. Investigating their future in order to prevent repetition of recent events is of particular importance. Therefore, the present study seeks to utilize scenario writing as one of the important methods of future research knowledge. The life of Takfiri groups during its post-revolutionary period is analyzed in different scenarios - desirable, possible and probable futures. In this regard, the following components are: desirable future of SalafiTakfiri groups and their opponents; possible futures: state-building of Takfiris in Muslim countries, integration of Salafi-Takfiri groups together: the acceptance of democracy as an alternative to the Caliphate by the Takfiris, a probable future that results from a set of scenarios. The findings suggest that, despite the military defeat of the Takfiri groups, they will not be completely destroyed, but will await a return to the conflict like a fire under the ashes
