Abstract
The prolonged absence of Hazrat Hojjat (Imam Mahdi AS) and his unavailability has caused false claimants to exploit this issue in various dimensions and create problems. Therefore, one of the most important measures at this time is to identify these claimants and fight against them in all fields. In the present era, a person named Alireza Babaei Arya, known as "Allameh Mansour Hashemi Khorasani" has raised claims and introduces himself as the cause of the emergence of Mahdi (AS). He urges people to turn away from the current governments with the slogan "Return to Islam", calling the governments invalid, tyrannical and barrier to emergence. Also, he considers anyone who opposes him to be a hindrance to the emergence and warns that he will remove them from his path if possible. He makes his claims by referring to weak hadiths, resorting to the signs of emergence and interpreting them on himself. This research examines and criticizes these claims in a descriptive and analytical way.
