4	37	Beliefs; Cognition of the Caliphs of God; Mahdi; Mansoor and his movement to prepare the ground for the advent of Mahdi; Actions and goals According to the rule which Allamah may God protect him has mentioned regarding the advent of Imam Mahdi, that his advent does not require the gathering of all people and requires the gathering of a sufficient number of them, some questions have arisen for me, which are as follows: 1. Is the quantity and quality of this sufficient number known for him or is its knowledge with God? 2. Did this sufficient number not exist in the time of the caliphs of the past? Given that the caliphs of the past had a large force at times in history, for example, Imam Ali in Siffin had about 130,000 men, Imam Hassan in the war with Mu‘awiya had about 12,000 men, Imam Hussain in Kufa had about 18,000 men, Imam Sadiq during the Khorasani uprising had about 100,000 Khorasanis who wanted him to rise up, even during the absence of Imam Mahdi, the Shia community got organized and ready for the advent many times, for example, during the Safavid period, waiting and readiness for the advent were high, to the point that the great scholars of the Shia such as Majlisi and others, believed it was time for the advent and the Safavid were preparers of the ground for the advent; because most of the narrations corresponded to the conditions of their time, but it did not happen. With this introduction, please explain where the problem were and what were the shortcomings that the Imams of Ahl al-Bayt did not achieve their goals? 3. Do we not have the shortcomings of the past? 4. What is so special about our generation that did not exist in them, while they seem to be better than us physically and mentally? Considering the difficult conditions and the complexity of the situation and our physical and mental weakness that have been created over time, we need God’s special grace as well as Imam Mahdi’s special attention may we be his sacrifice in order to provide a sufficient number of helpers who have not any equals in the pas eras. From every side I went, I gained nothing but terror I seek refuge from this desert and the infinite path I lost my way in this dark night Oh you the guidance star, rise from a corner[1]	Hadi Honarju	2015-11-28
3	30	Beliefs; Cognition of the Caliphs of God; Mahdi; Mansoor and his movement to prepare the ground for the advent of Mahdi; Actions and goals Do you think we can be hopeful about the advent of Imam Mahdi, whereas the people have been badly affected by misunderstanding on one hand and on the other hand, the scholars and leaders of the society who are the religious models of the people, are such that there is so much fear from them to even say this obvious fact that if Imam Mahdi is supported by the leaders of the Islamic society and the Muslim people, and if his life is protected and if he has armies and soldiers, he will definitely reappear, not just by praying for his advent!! Is it possible to be hopeful about Imam Mahdi’s advent in such circumstances? And what should be done? Thank you so much for all the sufferings and efforts you go through in this loneliness and helplessness condition and you are innocently fighting against ignorance and unawareness. May you be under God’s protection and may you be successful.	Zohreh. M	2015-10-28
2	16	Beliefs; Cognition of the Caliphs of God; Mahdi; Mansoor and his movement to prepare the ground for the advent of Mahdi; Actions and goals I glanced through the book Return to Islam in the hope of finding a positive solution, but what I found was only denying others! After all these writing and generalities, the author has not specified the duty of Muslims in the age of absence that what they must do in the end. Should they give up everything, begin sit-down protests, go on strike, and announce that they will not end them until Mahdi appears and takes over the government?! If Mansoor Khorasani is supposed to take over the affairs of Muslims now, what is his practical plan for managing Islamic societies?! Another problem is that it seems 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 stated that Mahdi is the only one who is allowed to invite people toward himself, and this itself means that there is a dead end in the nation of the end time, which contradicts the perfection of Islam. Indeed, there is no imaginable way to achieve the government of God on the earth before the government of Mahdi, peace be upon him, except for the government of the Islamic jurist, as it exists in Iran, with all its flaws and shortcomings.

1	9	Beliefs; Cognition of the Caliphs of God; Mahdi; Mansoor and his movement to prepare the ground for the advent of Mahdi; Actions and goals Mansoor Hashemi Khorasani, in his book, has not deprived any group, faction, sect and country of his criticisms, and has attacked them all from one side! Neither the Shiite, nor the Sunnite, nor the Salafi, nor the Sufi, nor the Ahl al-Hadith, nor the philosophers, nor the poets, nor the scholars, nor the guardianship of jurisprudent, nor democracy, nor the West, nor the ISIS, none of them is confirmed by him and none of them are considered in accordance with his so-called pure and complete Islam! Therefore, he has not left anyone for himself, and has displeased everyone! It is obvious that the Muslims of the world are either on that side or on this side and he has reacted against both sides! Therefore, there is no one left to support him! Everyone has become his enemy! Had he had a little politics, at least at the beginning of his movement, he would have kept at least one person for himself and would have not driven everyone away from himself! Anyway, now nobody considers him as a friend and everyone has taken a stand against him, and from Iran to Saudi Arabia and from ISIS to America, all are on one side and he is on another side! Therefore, it is clear that his work will not come to a conclusion and his failure is certain! He has no politics in my opinion.	Kianoush Qasempour	2015-01-24
