3	34	Actions and goals Considering the principle that His Eminence Allamah Mansoor Hashemi Khorasani (may Allah Almighty protect him) has put forth about the advent of Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him) that his advent does not require the gathering of all people but rather the gathering of a sufficient number of them, I have the following questions in order: 1. Is the quantity and quality of this sufficient number known to His Eminence Allamah, or is its knowledge with Allah? 2. Has this sufficient number not existed in the time of the previous caliphs? Considering that the previous caliphs possessed significant power at some points in history; as Ali had 130,000 men in the Battle of Siffin, Hasan ibn Ali had 12,000 men in the war against Mu‘awiyah, Husain had 18,000 men in Kufa, and Ja‘far al-Sadiq had 100,000 men from Khorasan who asked him to rise up when Abu Muslim al-Khorasani did. The Shias also made preparations and gathered for the Mahdi’s advent many times, even in recent centuries; as the anticipation and readinessfor his advent during the Safavid era was so high that some Shia scholars, such as al-Majlisi, considered that time to be the time of his advent and believed that the Safavids were the preparers of the ground for his advent; because most of the narrations applied to their time. However, the advent did not occur! With this introduction, I ask you, what is the problem that prevented the Imams of the Ahl al-Bayt from achieving their goals? 3. Do the flaws of the people of the past not exist in us? What is our distinctive feature that did not exist in the people of the past? While it appears that they were stronger and in a better state than us! Considering the difficulty of matters, the complexity of circumstances, and the physical and mental weaknesses that have taken hold of us over time, I believe that it is impossible to gather a sufficient number of helpers who are free from the flaws of the people of the past, except by a special favor from Allah. This leaves me in bewilderment and surprise!	2015-11-30
2	15	Actions and goals I skimmed through the book Return to Islam hoping to find a positive solution, but what I found was only denying others! After all this writing and stating generalities, the author has not specified what Muslims’ duty is during the Mahdi’s absence. What must they do in the end?! Must they abandon everything, hold protests, go on strike, and declare that they will not stop their protests and strike until the Mahdi appears and takes over the government?! If, hypothetically, Mansoor Khorasani were to take charge of the affairs of Muslims now, what would be his practical plan for managing Islamic societies?! Another problem is that it appears Mansoor too, like others, has invited people toward himself, while in the book, he has clearly declared the falsity of whoever invites people toward himself, and has explicitly stated that the Mahdi is the only one who is allowed to invite people toward himself. This itself means that there is a dead end in the nation of the end time, which contradicts the perfection of Islam. Frankly, there is no way to establish the government of Allah on Earth before the government of the Mahdi (peace be upon him) except through the government of the Islamic jurist, as it exists in Iran, with all its flaws and shortcomings.	2015-02-21
1	9	Actions and goals In his book Return to Islam, Mansoor Hashemi Khorasani has spared no sect, madhhab, or nation from his critiques and has struck everyone with the same sword! Neither Shia, nor Sunni, nor Salafi, nor Sufi, nor hadith scholars, nor philosophers, nor poets, nor scholars, nor guardianship of the Islamic jurist, nor democracy, nor the West, nor ISIS; none of them are acceptable to him or conform to the pure and perfect Islam! Based on this, he has annoyed everyone, leaving no one on his side! It is clear that Muslims of the world are either on this side or that side, and he has shattered both sides! Therefore, no one is left to support him! Everyone has become his enemy! If he had even the slightest bit of political acumen, he would have kept at least one person on his side at the beginning of his movement and would not have alienated everyone! Now, no one considers him a friend, and everyone has taken a stance against him! They are all on one front, and he stands alone on another! Clearly, he will not succeed in this situation, and his failure is inevitable! In my opinion, he has no political acumen whatsoever!	2015-01-25
