10	102	Attributes and duties of scholars Are the Mahdi’s general deputies, meaning the scholars, approved by him at all times? If they are not approved by him, why does he not announce his opposition to them?!	2016-02-28

7	62	Authority and attributes of the Quran What is the opinion of Allamah Mansoor Hashemi Khorasani on revelation? Atheists do not consider revelation to be heavenly, and the Jews and Christians do not consider the Quran to be a revelation, but rather they believe it is the words of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his family). How can we prove that the Quran is a heavenly revelation without quoting the Quran itself as evidence?	2015-11-17
6	56	Existence, attributes, and actions of the Mahdi I have some questions from your honors: 1. What is the desired calendar by Imam Mahdi (may our souls being sacrificed for him)? Lunar or solar? 2. Is the origin of the lunar calendar, which is the immigration of the God’s Messenger, confirmed by his Excellency? 3. Is the beginning of the lunar year, which is the first day of Muharram, approved by his Excellency? Thank you for your kindness in answering my questions.	2015-11-11
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

Second question: Is Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him) married and does he have children or not? Third question: A Shia scholar in Iran said that Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him) married an Iranian girl in Tehran. What is your opinion on his statement?	2015-07-17
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
1	6	Existence, attributes, and actions of the Mahdi Does Mansoor believe that the Mahdi exists and is alive at present? If so, what is his evidence for this belief?	2015-01-05
