About the book Return to Islam
The book Return to Islam is the transcribed lessons of His Eminence Allamah Mansoor Hashemi Khorasani (may Allah protect him). It has become the foundation for a blessed cultural movement and a slogan for the oppressed and freedom-loving Muslims around the world.
The publisher of this book has written in its introduction:
The noble book Return to Islam is an excellent and invaluable revolutionary work in the field of Islamic studies. It calls for the establishment of the perfect and pure Islam worldwide through a rational critique of the current understanding of Islam and a redefinition of its principles and sources, along with a historical critical evaluation of the beliefs and deeds of Muslims, based on the certainties and well-established matters of Islam, free from presuppositions and conjectural approaches. The wise author of this book, His Eminence Allamah Mansoor Hashemi Khorasani (may Allah protect him), with his distinguished divine genius that is evident to those with insight and discernment, presents the most important scholarly and specialized discussions about Islam in clear and understandable language for all Muslims. He states the most profound and precise teachings of Islam in the simplest and most transparent manners, while ignoring common technical terms and avoiding wordplay and popular chatter. He appears as a truth-seeking Muslim, completely detached from all differing factions and sects, and courageously free from political frameworks and movements. He brings along his accompanying brothers and sisters—from every faction, sect, and country—from the land of religious knowledge to its heavens; because he sets aside all Islamic presuppositions and starts from the first principles. Then, on his long scholarly and cognitive journey, with the footwear of reason and in the light of Allah’s Book that shines before him like a bright lamp, he attains the loftiest Islamic teachings and sciences. Throughout this, he is not content with merely stating generalities and abstract concepts; rather, he discovers and defines their concrete and real examples in the Islamic world with insight and complete knowledge of the people of his time, and he harbors no fear in unveiling the mistakes and missteps of Muslims in a well-wishing and reformative manner.
Undoubtedly, with his lofty and profound ideas, he has written a book that can awaken Muslims around the world, bring them back to the pure Islam, and liberate them from their current humiliation and wretchedness; a book that cuts through the sick and wounded body of the Islamic nation with the sharp knife of its critique and declares the root cause of its failures and disturbances in a tone of unprecedented decisiveness and courage; a book that reveals the unfortunate reality of the Islamic world as it is and discusses the lost truth of Islam as it must be; a book that does not belong to any specific sect or country, but to the original Islam and all its followers around the world, and carries along every free and enlightened Muslim from every sect and country, and calls for an Islamic awakening and a return to the original and forgotten teachings of Islam—like a call from the heavens resonating through eastern and western parts of the Earth.

About the book Geometry of Justice
The book Geometry of Justice is a precious gem among the works of His Eminence Allamah Mansoor Hashemi Khorasani (may Allah protect him). It initially existed among his close companions in the form of a handwritten booklet. It was first published in Persian on Eid al-Adha in 1437 AH and has since been republished multiple times. Then Allah facilitated its translation and publishing in English in Rabi al-Awwal 1443 AH, so that it would be a delight to the eyes of the seekers of knowledge and wisdom and a means for educating and purifying Muslims.
The publisher of this book has written in its introduction:
The noble book Geometry of Justice is a beautiful and delightful narration of a scholarly and revolutionary dialogue with the reformist scholar, His Eminence Mansoor Hashemi Khorasani (may Allah protect him), the owner of the noble book Return to Islam. This dialogue was conducted by one of his companions over two sessions, transcribed in an elegant and literary style by a group of his students in his office, and presented to him for review.
The subject of this scholarly and revolutionary dialogue is the engineering of “justice” as the ultimate ideal of Islam, accompanied by an unprecedented critical evaluation of global problems, with a very precise and profound analysis of “Islamic government” and the mutual roles of “the Mahdi” and “people.” Despite its concise size, this unique work, which truly must be considered an innate and Islamic school of thought, holds such scholarly and revolutionary value that can bring about fundamental reforms in Muslims’ official understanding of Islam, transform many of their cultural and political equations, and direct their individual and social movements toward Allah’s caliph on Earth; because by relying on rational principles, natural laws, and historical traditions, being in full harmony with the verses of the Quran and mutawatir hadiths, using clear and familiar language while avoiding unnecessary complexity, this discourse shows people the path to happiness and perfection, teaches them the essence of justice—the lost treasure of all ages—and how to achieve it, and opens a new window onto a bright future.
In many ways, this book can be considered a complement to the book Return to Islam or a comprehensive plan for its implementation; because with extraordinary depth and precision, it outlines the strategy for a global revolution, maps the path to preparing the ground for the Mahdi’s government, and explains, step by step, the process of transitioning from the dark age of oppression to the bright age of justice. At the same time, it reflects the scholarly greatness of a perfect scholar that this book of wisdom is the result of two of his sessions!
Based on this, everyone who recognizes the value of this blessed Islamic discourse should help us translate, print, and distribute it among Muslims worldwide; because with the existence of various obstacles and opposition, this is an extremely difficult and demanding task, beyond the capacity of this independent, people-powered office with its insignificant strength and limited resources. May this effort lay the theoretical foundation for the sovereignty of Allah’s caliph on Earth and prepare Muslims to take practical steps toward implementing this Islamic plan.
