3	90	Narrations from the Caliphs of Allah (ahad and mutawatir) I want a detailed explanation from Shaikh Mansoor, or someone representing him, regarding the Hadith of Ali: «يُدْعَى كُلُّ قَوْمٍ بِإِمَامِ زَمَانِهِمْ، وَكِتَابِ رَبِّهِمْ، وَسُنَّةِ نَبِيِّهِمْ»; “Every nation is called with the Imam of their time, the Book of their Lord, and the Sunnah of their Prophet.” I want its chains of narrators from Sunni books and their level of authenticity. As for the Shias, this belief is well-known and mutawatir in their view, and they do not need to study its authenticity. However, the belief in Imamate is hardly known among the Sunnis, even if it is known with a wrong and confusing understanding. Most of them consider it a Shia innovation. Therefore, to establish proof against them, it is essential to provide a detailed explanation from their own books, rather than relying on other sources, so that one who seeks the truth may be reassured about the matter and begin to search for the Imam.	2023-09-20
2	29	The necessity and attributes of the Caliph of Allah I read the topic of the criterion of cognition and the impediments to it from the book Return to Islam, and the rest of the topics are also being read. I was pleased that the author has established the authority of the intellect and the impermissibility of imitation in any form. However, I was displeased with his statement that the caliphate and Imamate continue after the last Prophet. I do not find this to be rational or in accordance with the Quran, but rather it contradicts the justice of Allah. Similarly, I was displeased with his statement that the caliphs and Imams are twelve; because their period is short, while the lifespan of the Ummah is longer than theirs. I was also displeased with his statement that they are from the Ahl al-Bayt of the Prophet; because this resembles a dynasty of kings, and it is a statement that Shia scholars have invented to deceive their common people and gain wealth and leadership. As for the verse «وَنُرِيدُ أَنْ نَمُنَّ عَلَى الَّذِينَ اسْتُضْعِفُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَنَجْعَلَهُمْ أَئِمَّةً وَنَجْعَلَهُمُ الْوَارِثِينَ»; “And it is Our will to confer a favor upon those who were oppressed on Earth and make them leaders and make them inheritors,” and other verses that the author has cited to prove the matter of the Mahdi, they do not indicate it. They are only good news of intellectual and rational development for humanity, and this is what will reform the world and eliminate oppression and manipulation of religion in the future.	2015-10-29
1	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
