Any use or quotation of the book Return to Islam and other content published on this Islamic website is permissible, provided that the full source is mentioned and the name of its copyright holder, meaning Allamah Mansoor Hashemi Khorasani
is explicitly stated, but it is not permissible without mentioning the full source or explicitly stating his name, and there is no difference between that and theft and deception.
Unfortunately, it has been seen that some exploiters, opportunists, and those who do not fear Allah quote the scholarly content published on this Islamic website without mentioning the full source or explicitly stating the name of Allamah Mansoor Hashemi Khorasani
in a manner and context similar to their own words, with this excuse worse than the sin that they do not want to promote it, while they want to promote themselves! This is undoubtedly a clear example of deception, betrayal of trust, and cooperating with the enemies of the truth to conceal it and cover it with falsehood, which is a very great sin; as Allah Almighty has said: ﴿وَلَا تَلْبِسُوا الْحَقَّ بِالْبَاطِلِ وَتَكْتُمُوا الْحَقَّ وَأَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ﴾; “And do not cover the truth with falsehood, nor conceal the truth while you know.”
It is regrettable that the scholarly content and unique notes published on this Islamic website have been sent many times to a religious scholar, university professor, website, or politician to be the cause of his insight and guidance to the truth, but they have been published after a while as his own opinions, without the slightest reference to their source and their copyright holder, while only Allah, we, and that individual know the reality, and others think that they are his opinions! Undoubtedly, what has paved the way for this cowardly exploitation in Iran, regardless of the spread of arrogance and moral decline among different classes of people, is the blocking of this Islamic website in this country, which has enabled exploiters, opportunists, and those who do not fear Allah to carry out this abhorrent act, without anyone knowing about it; because most people in this country cannot access this Islamic website, while their access to these individuals is easy and abundant, in addition to the fact that they trust and think positively of them and do not consider such a possibility about them to be true!
In addition to exploiters, opportunists, and those who do not fear Allah, there are others who steal the scholarly content and unique notes published on this Islamic website. They are false claimants to being imams or the Mahdi, those who consider any wrongdoing and lie to be lawful for themselves and their followers, do not respect the material and intellectual property of their opponents, believe that their opponents’ works and remarks can be confiscated for their benefit and used to promote themselves, and deliberately try to trivialize the truth and render it obsolete so that in their supposition, they do not lose their market among people. They are certainly a great calamity!
Of course, these abuses clearly do not harm the oppressed and lonely scholar, Allamah Mansoor Hashemi Khorasani
, or his sincere and anonymous companions who speak and write for Allah; because their reward is preserved with Allah and is not destroyed by the wickedness and harm of vile people. Also, the truth will not remain hidden forever and will be revealed one day. However, these abuses harm people without a doubt; because the abusers do not speak or write for Allah, but rather for their personal interests and worldly ambitions. They often mix the truth, which they have stolen from us, with their falsehood, causing its trivialization and people’s deviation more than before! This is undoubtedly a trial for people and leads them into doubt. Therefore, Allamah Mansoor Hashemi Khorasani
has pointed to it in one of his words of wisdom and said:
«دَعْنِي مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ السَّفَلَةِ الْمَرَدَةِ الْقَائِلِينَ عَلَى اللَّهِ بِمَا لَا يَعْلَمُونَ! أَلَا تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الْعِلْمَ كَنْزٌ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ هَبَطَ مِنْهَا مَعَ آدَمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ، ثُمَّ انْتَقَلَ مِنْهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّينَ وَالصِّدِّيقِينَ وَالشُّهَدَاءِ وَالصَّالِحِينَ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ، حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ مَعَ آخِرِهِمْ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ؟! أَفَتُرِيدُ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ مِثْلَ هَذَا الْكَنْزِ فِي أَيْدِي الصِّبْيَانِ وَالْمَجَانِينِ وَالْمُدْمِنِينَ عَلَى الْمُخَدِّرَاتِ؟! لَا وَاللَّهِ لَيْسَ هَؤُلَاءِ بِمَأْمُونِينَ عَلَيْهِ وَلَا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ، وَإِنَّ فِيهِمْ سَارِقِينَ يَسْرُقُونَهُ لِيَشْتَرُوا بِهِ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا وَيَسْتَعِينُوا بِهِ عَلَى حُجَجِ اللَّهِ وَأَوْلِيَائِهِ! ﴿فَذَرْهُمْ فِي غَمْرَتِهِمْ حَتَّى حِينٍ﴾»; “Let me be from these arrogant lowly people who attribute Allah things that they have no knowledge of! Do you not know that this knowledge is a treasure from treasures of Paradise which was descended from there with Adam
and then it was transmitted to the prophets and the sincere and the witnesses and the righteous from his children until it returns to Paradise with their last one?! Do you want to put such a treasure in the hands of kids and lunatics and addicts?! No I swear to Allah they are not trusted with it and they have nothing to do with it and there are thieves among them who will steal it to sell it with a low price and use it against proofs and friends of Allah! ‘So leave them in their confusion for a time’!”
He has also said in another word of wisdom, referring to his righteous and truthful companions:
Then you will find them strong companions and faithful helpers for me; they will carry my knowledge, and protect it from theft, and make its springs flow, and compete with each other to act on it; for they have seeing eyes and hearing ears, and know the value of the scholar.
It is understood from here that any use or benefit from the works of Allamah Mansoor Hashemi Khorasani
must be accompanied by explicitly stating his name and mentioning the full source so that the truth does not enter the service of the people of falsehood, knowledge does not become a shield in the hands of the ignorant, wisdom does not contribute to the flourishing of the market of the foolish, the truth does not turn into a means of promoting lies, and those who want to know more can refer to the source and see the relevant content and notes, away from the suggestions and interpretations of others, so that they may be guided.
