Missionary efforts by the community in Tunisia

The believers in the call and salvation of the Riser of Truth, Aba Al-Sadiq, from Tunisia—a country where the satellite channel “The Mahdi has Appeared” is broadcasting to reveal hope for the downtrodden—are rising up like stars to share this divine message with all comers.

“There will be a voice from the sky to the people of the earth, such that everyone will hear it in his own language.” (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 37)

The Tunisians are not afraid to declare that the Mahdi has come as a voice for the oppressed, announcing that enough is enough to tyrannical oppressors who have held the people in shackles for too long.

“For it will come upon all who dwell on the face of the whole earth. So keep watch at all times, and pray that you may have the strength to escape all that is about to happen and to stand before the Son of Man.” (Luke 21:36)

The self-immolation of Tarek El-Tayeb Mohamed Bouazizi, a street vendor, on 17 December 2010—who had given his blood, sweat, and tears to earn an honest living—was a pivotal moment in history. His spirit had been worn down by authorities who confiscated his wares and harassed him incessantly. This became a catalyst for the Tunisian Revolution and the wider Arab Spring against autocratic regimes, which led to tens of thousands dying across the region. Public anger and sporadic violence intensified following Bouazizi’s death, leading then-president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali to step down on 14 January 2011, after 23 years in power. The state of affairs in Tunisia has only worsened for the people since, just as the Prophet Mohammed declared it would, by merely exchanging one self-appointed leader not chosen by God with another.

Believers in Tunisia are openly declaring that only God has the right to choose, and until the people accept God’s messenger of our age, the Riser with Truth, Aba Al-Sadiq, the world will know no peace and comfort.

They are unafraid of recent events in Afghanistan involving AROPL members and are determined to continue spreading the message through the Mahdi’s Manifesto. Political tyrants and false religious scholars, who care little for rhetoric or wisdom, fear this movement that threatens to remove them from their elitist, selfish power base, which grants them wealth and comfort while millions suffer and starve needlessly.

And He, the Exalted, said: “And listen on the day when the crier shall cry from a near place. The day when they shall hear the cry in truth; that is the day of coming forth.” (Surah Qaaf, Chapter 50, Verses 41-42)
