5	28	Attributes and duties of scholars I read the book Return to Islam by Mansoor Hashemi Khorasani and found nothing in it that contradicts Sharia or the intellect; because nothing has been mentioned in it except with evidence from the Quran, the established Sunnah, or the intellect. However, the fact is that I gave it to my teacher, His Eminence Sheikh ... [one of the scholars], to review and tell me his opinion. He rejected it vehemently and went to great lengths to criticize and belittle it, to the point of claiming that it is a misleading book that should not be read! This has caused me doubt and confusion. I do not know now whether it is a beneficial book that invites toward the pure religion, or a misleading book that should not be read!	2015-07-26
4	14	Attributes and duties of scholars My question is that Khorasani has already emerged and is among us now. He has even written a book. Therefore, Yamani and Sufyani must also be here; because all these signs occur in one year, in one month, and on one day! And another question is that if Khorasani has emerged, why do the scholars of Iran, Afghanistan, and other Islamic countries not inform of his emergence so that Khorasani has begun acting on his own and is taking allegiance from people? You personalities, the only thing you can do is make bada’ in the advent of Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him) inevitable. Please provide a convincing answer to my question, as I am waiting for it.	2015-02-19
3	12	The necessity and attributes of the Caliph of Allah You have repeatedly mentioned the disbelieving West, so-called America, and the true Islam on your website. These are well-known phrases in Iran that people have been hearing from religious leaders for decades, yet they have not had any beneficial effect even as much as a single grain of millet. The biggest mistake in the current world is entrusting the government of countries to religious leaders, which has undeniably left its undesirable marks on the political, economic, military, and social management of countries, just as you can see that the people in Iran are stuck in a swamp under the rule of a religious government. Religious leaders and their entourage will never be able to lead a nation to comprehensive progress in the age of space and the internet. We have heard since ancient times that the honor of a place lies with the one who sits in it. Religion, in a position of deceit, discrimination, self-aggrandizement, and hundreds of other flaws, cannot lead humanity to honesty and righteousness. So far, human history has never witnessed such a thing.	2015-02-07
2	6	Guidance on some verses of the Quran What is understood from the book Return to Islam by Mansoor Hashemi Khorasani is that the Islam that exists in our time is not the same Islam that existed in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his family). This has raised two questions for me: 1. If the Islam that exists in our time is not the same Islam that existed in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his family)] then why has Allah said in the Quran: “Indeed, We Ourselves sent down the Reminder, and We shall certainly preserve it”? Has He not been able to preserve His religion from alteration for 1400 years?! 2. If the Islam that exists in our time is not the same Islam that existed in the time of the Prophet, then what was the state of the scholars and great figures who lived before Mansoor Hashemi Khorasani?! Were they all doomed?!	2015-01-21
1	2	Attributes and duties of scholars Mansoor Hashemi Khorasani has mentioned in his book Return to Islam many issues that I do not find any of the scholars discussing or even noticing! How is it possible that all these scholars have not understood these issues, and only Mansoor Hashemi Khorasani has understood them?!!	2015-01-03
