18	420	Mansoor and his movement to prepare the ground for the advent of the Mahdi I agree with His Eminence Mansoor Hashemi Khorasani on most of his views, but I have some reservations about some of them. Can only those who agree with him on all his views join him in preparing the ground for the advent of Imam Mahdi? There were individuals from different sects among the companions and helpers of the Ahl al-Bayt, which means they disagreed with them on some of their views, as you have explained in one of your answers. Can someone who does not agree with His Eminence Mansoor on some of his views be one of his companions and helpers if he agrees with him on the necessity of preparing the ground for the advent of Imam Mahdi? Thank you for your answer.	2020-03-31
17	196	Existence, attributes, and actions of the Mahdi Please answer the following questions: 1 . What is the condition for the advent of Imam Mahdi? 2 . How many are his companions? Are there women among them? 3 . What are the madhhabs and sects to which they belong? How are they chosen?	2017-02-14
16	119	Matters related to religions, sects, and factions What is the opinion of His Eminence Mansoor on what Shias do in celebration of the birthday of Imam Mahdi on the fifteenth day of Sha‘ban? On this day, especially in Iran, they light up the streets, distribute drinks and sweets, and show joy and happiness because they believe that it is the day Imam Mahdi was born.	2016-04-23
15	79	Inviting toward good, enjoining right, and forbidding wrong I am a pulpiteer and one of the admirers of His Eminence Allamah Mansoor Hashemi Khorasani (may Allah Almighty protect him) in Iran. I sometimes use his illuminating words of wisdom and eloquent pieces of advice in my sermons to introduce people to the truths of Islam. Unfortunately, due to the security situation in Iran and the poisonous atmosphere created by the rulers against this oppressed scholar, I cannot mention his name or explicitly quote his words of wisdom and pieces of advice; especially considering the presence of some fanatics among the mosque attendees who, if they hear me mention the name of this scholar, will not perform prayer behind me and will cause many problems for me. Nevertheless, I sometimes refer to this scholar in general terms, saying, for example, “In the words of one of the great people,” or “In the words of one of the scholars,” or “One of the wise has said,” and the like. However, I do not know if these hints are sufficient or not. In any case, is it permissible for me to do this, considering that I intend to spread the knowledge of Islam through it? If not, what should I do? Thank you and this great scholar who embodies the words of Allah Almighty: “You are surely on the (path of) clear truth.” Through his works, he has raised our thoughts and insights about Islam to new heights, corrected our wrong views, especially in the matter of the Mahdi, and begun a great and unprecedented cultural revolution in the world of Islam that heralds the global revolution of the Mahdi, Insha’Allah.	2015-12-26
14	68	Mansoor and his movement to prepare the ground for the advent of the Mahdi There are oppressed men in various countries who have answered the invitation of His Eminence Allamah Mansoor Hashemi Khorasani (may Allah Almighty protect him) toward Allah’s Caliph on the earth and the only Imam of the sincere servants of Allah, the Mahdi (peace be upon him) who will fill the earth with justice and equity as it has been filled with oppression and cruelty, according to the promise of the truthful Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his family). Therefore, they have joined the “Return to Islam” movement and undertaken inviting people toward the pure religion, fighting against innovations, enjoining right, and forbidding wrong. For this reason, they have become targets for the attacks of tyrants and their supporters, as well as all ignorant people, deviants, and imitators who fanatically follow sects and scholars, to the extent that they may be captured and killed, especially in countries like Iran that are ruled by the most misguided and oppressive rulers. My question is, if they are killed in this path, are they martyrs in the sight of Allah?	2015-11-28
13	53	Mansoor and his movement to prepare the ground for the advent of the Mahdi What is the main reason for the great problems that exist in the Islamic world? Is it people, rulers, disbelievers, or something else?	2015-11-11
12	25	Dhikr (remembrance of Allah), du‘a (supplication), tawakkul (reliance on Allah), and tawassul (seeking means to draw near to Allah) What is the opinion of Allamah Mansoor Hashemi Khorasani on tawassul? Is it permissible to use the dead to practice tawassul? Is it permissible to use Imam al-Mahdi, may Allah let us be sacrificed for him, to practice tawassul based on the belief that he is alive? What is the correct tawassul that this great scholar orders?	2015-09-02
11	23	Mansoor and his movement to prepare the ground for the advent of the Mahdi What is the relationship between Allamah Mansoor Hashemi Khorasani and Imam Mahdi? Is he the representative of Imam Mahdi?	2015-07-18

9	18	Mansoor and his movement to prepare the ground for the advent of the Mahdi The truthfulness of His Eminence Mansoor is clearer than the sun. Please tell me, how can I join him? Where should I go? Should I go to Afghanistan or Tajikistan? What should I bring with me? Do you have a place where I can stay? Can I bring my wife and children? Considering that they all agree with me, praise be to Allah, and they are servants of His Eminence Mansoor. I want to be one of those who accompany the supreme commander of Khorasan to help the Mahdi. Please help me.	2015-04-01
8	17	Mansoor and his movement to prepare the ground for the advent of the Mahdi Please provide further details regarding the name, age, nationality, and outward characteristics of His Eminence Mansoor Hashemi Khorasani, the preparer of the ground for the advent of Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him).	2015-03-03

6	12	Mansoor and his movement to prepare the ground for the advent of the Mahdi We want to know His Eminence Mansoor’s opinion about this Hadith: Amir al-Mu’minin Ali (peace be upon him) has said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his family) said: “A man rises from Transoxiana, called ‘Harith ibn Harrath.’ At the forefront of his army is a man called ‘Mansoor,’ and he prepares the ground for the rule of the family of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his family), just as the Quraysh prepared the ground for the rule of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his family). It is obligatory for every believer to help him.” We also want to know His Eminence’s opinion about this Hadith: A conjunction of Mars and Saturn occurs once every two years. Imam Ali (peace be upon him) has considered the movement of the forces of Khorasani and Shu‘ayb ibn Salih from Samarqand toward Iraq to be after the complete conjunction of these two planets in the year before the rise of Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him); as he has said: Be aware, after a while, you will have a short time during which you will understand some of my words, and their correctness will be revealed to you, at the rise of Mars and Saturn with their precise conjunction(1). At this time, successive vibrations and earthquakes will happen, and some flags head from the banks of the Jayhon toward the desert of Babylon.	2015-02-04
5	11	Mansoor and his movement to prepare the ground for the advent of the Mahdi Is His Eminence Mansoor Hashemi Khorasani a descendant of Imam Hasan ibn Ali (peace be upon them)? Is there anyone among his companions whose name or title is Shu‘ayb ibn Salih?	2015-01-21

1	5	Mansoor and his movement to prepare the ground for the advent of the Mahdi This honorable man believes that people are responsible for the Mahdi’s non-advent, and I agree with that.
