It is obvious that each one of them went wrong SOMEWHERE. They did the best they could, but only one ruling can be correct at one time, and hence the three are wrong, even if we can not decide which one is correct and which one is not.
However, if we have someone claiming to be in contact with God then his first and one of the most important task should be get rid the ummah of this confusion, and tell everyone in clear terms where each of the four imams went wrong.
This is important because these rulings have severe implications on people's lives and society in general, as anyone can imagine.
Mirza wrote one book after another to explain how he is the Promised Messiah, Imam Mahdi, Prophet's Image, etc. I am looking at a single book he might have written which combines the rulings of four imams, and thus tell the true rulings of Islam.
Thanks.

The answer to your question is simple. All imams, since not being divinely guided, could have been wrong at one place or another. Imam mehdi(AS) is the one appointed by God Himself. He is here to lead and not follow any of these imams. Thus whenever there is a contradiction, Imam Mehdi(AS) clearifies it and his(AS) is the final word. All other interpretations that contradict Imam Mehdi's(AS) will be wrong.
I never really understood why it is so important for these people to know how to tie their arms in prayer, or what "style" of beard to have?! reminds me of Mongolian armies standing outside Baghdad while Muslims busy were fighting over petty issues, one group calling the other non Muslim. BTW did you guys ever establish if the camel was a he or a she?
Here is dajal, destroying one muslim nation after another, killing and plundering at will and you want to ask Imam Mehdi(AS) how to tie your arms? Imam Mahdi's(AS) mission is to restore faith in God, revive Islam and kill dajjal. He has provided the guidance and opened up the gate of divine light for Muslims.
But if you'd still like to know how to tie your arms, heres the link
