one group insists that the Mahdi has not yet been born, and it is neither known to us nor our concern when he will be born, and the other believes that he was born but is absent, and his government cannot be established until Allah wills it and public interest demands it. So, in the view of both groups, it is necessary to seek another government; because “another hundred thousand years may pass and public interest does not demand that the Mahdi come. During this long period, should the rulings of Islam remain suspended and not implemented? ... Is it chaos?”[1] Are you now questioning the basis of both groups, which has been firmly established over the course of more than a thousand years?!

● Professor: Yes, that is correct. What has removed the government of the perfect human from the list of real political systems is this baseless illusion that his government is not achievable for people, or in other words, its establishment is out of people’s hands! But really, why?! For what reason?! By what scholarly evidence has it been considered impossible for people to achieve his government, and in what religious source have they been freed from responsibility for it?! Is this not just a disastrous misconception and a big mistake like thousands of other misconceptions and mistakes that have been spread and taken root among people?!
