Top 10 Prophecies Fulfilled by Aba Al-Sadiq Abdullah Hashem

There are so many prophecies about the Mahdi - the savior in the End Times - mentioned in Islamic narrations. Since the establishment of the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light (AROPL), countless signs that have been mentioned have been fulfilled. Can all of this just be coincidence? And if so, how are we supposed to take any of the signs mentioned in the narrations seriously? Here are ten significant prophecies that have already been fulfilled.

1. People From the West Gather in Egypt 

In 2011, before he knew he was a Mahdi, Aba Al-Sadiq was focusing on gathering Ansar in Egypt who believed in the first Mahdi Ahmad Al-Hassan. Many believers from around the world eagerly joined him, driven by the hadith of the Ahlul Bayt that they must overcome every obstacle to reach the Mahdi, 

“…even if it meant crawling over ice.”  -What Imam Ali said concerning the End Times, Al-Sayed Ali Ashoor, p. 330

He gathered believers from the US, the UK, Germany and many other countries.

This group of believers who gave up their previous lives in order to live and work with their brothers and sisters in faith were supporting Aba Al-Sadiq in his efforts to aid Imam Mahdi and Ahmad Al-Hassan fulfilling this narration from Ammar ibn Yassir where he describes the events before and around the time of the Rise: 

 “...and the people of the West go out to Egypt.” -Mo’jam Ahadeeth Imam Al-Mahdi (AS), Al-Shaikh Ali Al-Korani, Vol. 1, pp. 329-330

The early gathering in Egypt as well as the current gathering around Aba Al-Sadiq in his community confirms the prophecy of Prophet Mohammed in which he states,

“They will come to him from every corner like the scattered leaves of autumn.”

And it is also the fulfilment of the narration,

Imam Al-Baqir said: "The companions of the Qaim (Riser) are 313 men and they are children of the non-Arabs. Some of them are carried in the clouds during the day. He is known by his name, the name of his father, his lineage and his description. Others of them are sleeping in their beds, so they come to meet him in Mecca without appointment.”

2. The Platform of Egypt 

The work of the early believers in Egypt included building a media platform in order to spread the Dawah and to call people to the truth, fulfilling narrations about the end times regarding the Minbar of Egypt: 

“Abaya Al-Asady said, I heard the Prince of Believers saying, ‘I shall build in Egypt a platform, and I shall destroy Damascus brick by brick, and I shall take out the Jews and the Christians from all the lands of the Arabs, and I shall drive the Arabs with this staff of mine’ He was asked: ‘It is as if you are saying you shall come to life after your death?’ The Imam responded: ‘Wait O Abaya, you have taken it in another way, a man from me shall do it.”– Bihar Al-Anwar, Mohammed Baqir Al-Majlisi, 3rd ed., v.53, p.60, hadith 47; Ma’ani Al-Akhbar, Mohammed ibn Ali Babawayh ‘Al-Sadooq’, 2nd ed., p.406, hadith 82

This small group of believers spent the next years producing and spreading videos and media about the Call of Imam Ahmad Al-Hassan to all four corners of the world, a task which they continue to do until this day.

3. How the Qaim is Known 

Abi Abdullah was once asked,

“By what is the companion of the matter known?” It was answered, “He is known by his tranquility, dignity, knowledge and the will.” Bihar Al-Anwar, Al-Allamah Al-Majlisi, Vol. 25, p. 138

As this narration and others from the Ahlul Bayt indicate, the Qaim will come with proofs, including the Will and divine Knowledge. One of the proofs of every divinely appointed Prophet, Messenger, or Caliph is their possession of knowledge from God—knowledge and wisdom that no other human being holds, as described in The Mahdi's Manifesto,

“The type of knowledge which this divinely appointed person must possess is not necessarily knowledge of worldly sciences, for example, he is not expected to be a jack of all trades, the best biologist, the best physicist, and the best architect, but rather the knowledge is knowledge of religion and the unseen, spiritual knowledge.”-

The Mahdi’s Manifesto

Anyone who watches Aba Al-Sadiq's YouTube channel, The Mahdi Has Appeared, or reads his gospel, The Goal of the Wise, will see that he demonstrates this knowledge by answering questions that no other human being has been able to answer—questions humanity has been asking for centuries.

The other proof mentioned in this narration is that the Qaim comes with the will. All Prophets and Messengers throughout history were appointed—either directly by God, as in the case of Adam:

"And (remember) as your Lord said to the Angels, 'Surely I am making on earth a successive authority (Caliph).'" – Holy Quran, Al-Baqara, Verse 30

Or they were appointed through the will of their predecessor. Aba Al-Sadiq, who at birth was named Abdullah Hashem, was appointed directly by the Prophet Mohammed in the will he wrote on his deathbed:

"Then there will be twelve Mahdis after him, so if death comes to him, let him hand it over to his son, the first of the close ones. He has three names: one like mine and my father’s, and it is Abdullah (Servant of God), and Ahmad (the Praised), and the third name is Al-Mahdi (the Guided), and he is the first of the believers." – Al-Ghayba, Muhammad ibn Al-Hassan ‘Al-Toosi,’ 3rd ed., p. 150, hadith 111

The Prophet Mohammed described this will as a “protection from misguidance.” In 1,400 years, the only ones to have ever claimed this will are Ahmed Al-Hassan and Aba Al-Sadiq. How can it be a coincidence that both Abdullah Hashem and Ahmed Al-Hassan’s names were mentioned in the only known testament of prophet Mohammed that can be found in the books of the Muslims?

4.  The Death of King Abdullah 

One of the most crucial prophecies of the End Times relating to the appearance of Imam Mahdi was the Prophecy of the death of King Abdullah of Hijaz,

“It was narrated that the Messenger of Allah said: “Hijaz will be ruled by a man whose name is the name of an animal, if you see him from far, you would think he’s crossed-eyed, and if you come close to him, you do not see anything (wrong) in his eyes. He will be succeeded by a brother of his, named Abdullah. Woe to our Shia (followers) from him! Woe to our Shia (followers) from him! Woe to our Shia (followers) from him! – he repeated it three times – Give me the glad tidings of his death and I give you the glad tidings of the appearance of the Hujjah (Imam Mahdi).” – 250 Signs, Mohammed Ali Tabatabaei, p.121, no. 88 (online book)

On the 23rd of January, 2015, King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia died, and Imam Mahdi emerged from occultation. This was the day that Imam Ahmad Al-Hassan raised the black banner. The only religion that announced the appearance of Imam Al-Mahdi on that day was the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light. If this religion is not truthful, then this astonishingly accurate prophecy—describing not only the name of the King of Saudi Arabia but also his distinct physical features—did not come true.

This day also marked the significant appearance of another prophesied character: The Qaim of the Family of Mohammed, Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq.

Imam Ja’far Al-Sadiq said: “Whoever guarantees for me the death of Abdullah, I shall guarantee for him the Qaim.” – Bihar Al-Anwar, Al-Allamah Al-Majlisi, Vol. 52, p. 210; Ghaybat Al-Tus

5. The Black Banner

It was narrated from the Ahlulbayt: “Verily, we Ahlulbayt have a banner, whoever goes ahead of it has renegaded, and whoever is late to it has perished, and whoever follows it has followed [us], it is written on it: ‘Allegiance is to Allah!’” – 250 Signs, Mohammad Ali Tabatabaei, 1st ed., p.19

“The black banners come from the East, as if their hearts are pieces of iron, so whoever hears about them, go to them and give allegiance to them, even if crawling on ice!” – Bihar Al-Anwar, Muhammad Baqir Al-Majlisi, 3rd ed., v.51, p.84, hadith 33; Ahlul-Bayt Fi Al-Kitab Wal Sunna, Muhammad Al-Rishhary, 2nd ed., p.498, hadith 1200

In March 2015, the black banners were raised as the narrations describe.

The Ansar began to anonymously spread the message of the Black Banners on the internet. This was the fulfilment of the prophecy that the Qaim would be raising the Black Banners, as per the narrations. The believers did this under the guidance of the Qaim Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq.

Abi Baseer narrated that Aba Abdillah  said in a hadith about the Qaim of the Family of Mohammed:

“Then he will shake the banner and will walk by it, so there will remain no one in the East or the West except that they will curse it, and it is the banner of the Messenger of Allah, Gabriel descended with it on the day of Badr.” Then he said: “O Abu Mohammed, by Allah it is not cotton nor silk nor linen.” So I said: “So what is it from?” So he said: “From the paper of paradise, the Messenger of Allah spread it on the day of Badr, then he wrapped it and pushed it to Ali. So it remained with Ali until the day of Basra came, so the Commander of the Believers spread it so Allah opened it for him. Then he wrapped it, and it is with us there. No one will spread it until the Qaim rises, so if he rises he will spread it, and no one in the East or the West will remain except that they will curse it.” – Al-Ghayba, Ibn Abi Zainab Al-No’mani, 1st ed., p.320, hadith 2 (Online book: p.318)

Just as it was said in the hadith, this black banner was not a material banner, but one that spread through the skies from home to home on the internet, with supporters spreading the glad tidings of the arrival of the Saviour of Mankind to all.

6. The Sun Rises from the West

The Prophet Mohammed said,

“The Hour will not be established until the sun rises from the West, so if the people see it they will believe in it, and that is (the time) when {no soul will benefit from its faith as long as it had not believed before} (Holy Qur’an 6: 158).” - Sahih Bukhari, Chapter 65 Prophetic Commentary on the Qur'an, Hadith 4635

Since it is not possible that the literal sun rises from the west, the “sun” in this narration is talking about a divine messenger who rises from the west, as The Prince of the Believers Ali ibn Abi Talib said,

“ … And that is after the sun rises from the west. At that time repentance is lifted and no repentance is accepted, and no work is lifted, and {no soul will benefit from its faith as long as it had not believed before} or gained goodness through its faith. Then Al-Nazzal ibn Sabrah said, “I said to Sa’sa’ah son of Sawhan, ‘O Sa’sa’ah, what did the Prince of the Believers mean by this statement?’” Then Sa’sa’ah said, “O son of Sabrah, the one whom Jesus son of Mary prays behind is the twelfth of the Progeny, the ninth of the sons of Al-Hussein ibn Ali, and he is the sun rising from the west.”- Mokhtasar Basa’er Al-Darajat, Al-Hasan Al-Hilly, p. 32

The Prophet Mohammed also said regarding the Mahdi that,  

“He will emerge from the West,”- Sharh Al-Akhbar, Al-Kadi Al-No’man, Vol. 3, p. 363

Aba Al-Sadiq is the fulfillment of these narrations and many others like them,  as the Prophesied Riser from the Family of Mohammed and Mahdi who has risen in the west and his dawah has become established and known worldwide from the United Kingdom.

7. A New Book and a New Jurisprudence 

Imam Ali said: "…and he reveals to the people a new book, and it is difficult and severe upon the disbelievers. He calls the people towards a matter, whoever acknowledge it will be guided, and whoever denies it will be misguided. So woe, and all woe, to whoever denies it…" - Ilzam Al-Nasib 2/174-190

“ The Qaim/Riser shall rise with a new matter, and a new book, and a new jurisprudence/rule which will be hard for the Arabs.” - Kitab Al-Ghayba (Book of Occultation), Al-Numani, Vol. 1, p. 236

The Qaim, Aba Al-Sadiq, released his gospel, The Goal of the Wise, in December 2022, detailing the seventh and final covenant that God has made with humanity. The word covenant is frequently mentioned in the Bible and the Quran. A covenant is akin to a contract between God and His people.

Throughout history, God has established six previous covenants with humanity, well-known to those familiar with the Torah and the Bible, but all were ultimately broken by the people. The sixth covenant was God’s covenant with Prophet Mohammed. However, the savior of mankind is prophesied to come with a new covenant—the seventh covenant.

The changes in the laws under the seventh covenant have been challenging for many Muslims to accept. These include the abolition of the five daily prayers and the announcement that the true Ramadan occurs in December. They lead to the severe persecution of the followers of Aba Al-Sadiq in Muslim-majority countries.

8.  The Scholars are the Enemy of the Mahdi

“When Imam Mahdi emerges, he shall not have a clearer enemy than the religious scholars. For this reason, he and the sword are like brothers. Without the sword, the religious scholars would have issued decrees for his killing. However, God presents him with the sword, generosity, and kindness so that they may obey him, fear him, and accept his judgment, albeit without genuine belief. Rather, they harbor disbelief in their hearts.” - Yanabi’ Al-Mawadda Li-Dhawi L-Qurba, Sulayman b. Ibrahim Al-Qunduzi Al-Hana, Vol. 3, p. 215; Al-Bihar, vol. 52, p. 190, h. 21

These narrations from Mohammed and the Family of Mohammed regarding the scholars indicate that they are the enemies of the Mahdi and will not be among his supporters. These prophecies are being fulfilled today, as Islamic scholars who claim to await the Mahdi have publicly declared their intent to oppose Aba Al-Sadiq.

In Muslim countries, scholars aligned with tyrannical authorities have made it their mission to persecute and fight the believers. They have issued religious decrees against Aba Al-Sadiq and frequently label his teachings as heretical, exactly as was foretold.

In a recent video on The Mahdi Has Appeared channel, Aba Al-Sadiq responded to a scholar from the office of Sistani who described the Dawah of the Mahdi—which they claim to be awaiting—as a “fitna” and warned people against the true religion of God, thereby fulfilling these narrations.

9. The People will use the Quran against him

Imam Al-Sadiq said, “If the Qaim rises, he will endure more suffering than the Prophet of Allah did from the ignorant people of the Jahiliya. The Prophet of Allah was sent to them while they were worshiping stones, rocks, sticks, and carved wood. Verily, our Qaim, if he rises, will go to the people, and all of them will interpret the book of Allah against him and use it as proof against him.”  - Kitab Al-Ghayba (Book of Occultation), Al-Numani, Vol. 1, p. 305

In Malaysia, after a prolonged campaign by religious and political authorities against the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light, on the 9th of August 2024, a Friday sermon was delivered and repeated throughout Selangor State. In this sermon, the teachings of Aba Al-Sadiq were labeled as “deviant.” The sermon further used verses from the Quran against Aba Al-Sadiq, precisely as described in the narrations.

"The existence of proponents of deviant teachings is frequently mentioned in the Quran. One example is the verse from Surah Ibrahim, verse 3, where Allah Azza wa Jalla says:'Those who prefer the worldly life over the Hereafter, and obstruct people from the way of Allah, seeking to make it crooked, they are far astray.'”-Friday sermon that went out across the whole of Selangor State, Malaysia. 

Despite the fact that the Qaim, Aba Al-Sadiq, is the only one on earth guiding people away from worldly life and toward salvation, the religious authorities in Selangor misused this verse of the Quran against him. This verse clearly refers to people like themselves, as in the very act of delivering their Friday sermon—where they defamed the teachings of Aba Al-Sadiq—they were actively obstructing people from the way of Allah.

10.  Among the Companions of the Qaim will be Sun and Moon Worshippers 

Aba Abdillah said, 

“Fear, O Arabs, for verily I have bad news for you: none shall emerge from among you with the Qaim.”  - Ghaybat Al-Tusi, Al-Shaikh Al-Tusi, Vol. 1, p. 496

Aba Abdillah said, "When the Qaim (Riser) emerges, those traditionally seen as the people of this matter will depart, and those akin to sun and moon worshippers will enter into it." - Kitab Al-Ghayba (Book of Occultation), Al-Numani, Vol. 1, p. 330

The narrations clearly indicate that the companions of the Qaim will not be those traditionally expected to support or believe in Imam Mahdi. This prophecy is evident today, as many from Muslim backgrounds have rejected the teachings of Aba Al-Sadiq, deeming them too different from the religion they currently follow.

In contrast, the community surrounding the Qaim, Aba Al-Sadiq, is composed of individuals from diverse religious and racial backgrounds who have embraced the inclusive and accepting message that everyone is welcome in the seventh covenant—not just one particular group. This includes members of the LGBTQ+ community and individuals traditionally labeled as sinners, reflecting the values of the seventh covenant as outlined in The Goal of the Wise.

 “this final and most complete Covenant is the everlasting Covenant that is for the entire universe. It is God’s Covenant with all of creation. One of the things that makes this Covenant special and unique compared to the previous Covenants is that it is a Covenant with the souls.” - The Goal of the Wise, The Seventh Covenant. 

How is it possible that someone who established a platform in Egypt, emerged from the West, has companions from all over the world, came with the prophesied Will, knowledge, and banner, brought a new book and a new jurisprudence, and has been rejected by the scholars of the time, is not the Mahdi but merely coincidentally fulfills all these narrations?
