Theories
Raefipoor was welcomed by the people, especially the youth, for his new theories on Mahdism and religions. His lectures are mostly on the critique of social sciences and religions, the ways out of the impasse in the world and creating a fundamental change in the correct attitude towards religions.

Raefipoor has applied theories in the field of strategic sciences and many of his analyzes and predictions have taken place on various topics.

Due to his interdisciplinary studies in the field of apocalypse, he can be called a futurist and Eschatologist.

For example, one of his most famous predictions, which came about due to his expertise in interdisciplinary content and precise symbolism in hostility, was the rise of ISIS. His prediction came to the attention of Syrian officials who were themselves involved in the fight against ISIS, and in 2017 he was invited to speak at a conference on "Cultural Resistance" on the methodology of futurology. He also helped the Syrian government establish a futures research institute, and through his analysis, he was awarded an honorary doctorate in Political science from the University of Syria.

Activities
In 2010, he established the "Masaf Cultural and Research Institute". In 2016, the Masaf Institute launched the "Shia Muslim Blood donation" campaign to replace the culture of Qama Zani with blood donation culture, so that this can be done all year round. The campaign was published in various languages on social networks and was able to attract many users around the world.
