5	39	Existence, attributes, and actions of the Mahdi 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.	2015-10-29

2	14	Existence, attributes, and actions of the Mahdi Twelver Shias believe that the Mahdi is alive and has experienced two occultations: the minor occultation and the major occultation. During the minor occultation, he was in contact with his followers through four special deputies. After the death of the fourth deputy, Abu al-Hasan Ali ibn Muhammad al-Samuri (al-Saimuri), the major occultation began. This is understood from a letter to him. The Mahdi said in it: “O Ali ibn Muhammad al-Samuri! May Allah grant a great reward to your brothers in mourning your loss. You will depart from this world in six days. Set your affairs in order and do not appoint anyone as your successor, for the complete occultation has arrived. There will be no advent except by the permission of Allah, the Exalted and Majestic. And that will occur after a long period and the hardening of hearts and the filling of Earth with oppression. Some will come to my followers claiming the seeing. Be aware that whoever claims the seeing before Sufyani’s emergence and the heavenly call is a liar and a fabricator. And there is no might and no power except by Allah the Most High, the Great.” (Al-Ghaybah by al-Shaikh al-Tusi, p. 395) What is the opinion of Mansoor Hashemi Khorasani on this matter?	2015-02-10
