¶ The Calf and The Office of Najaf
When people hear the name of Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace), they often find him being associated with a Facebook and Twitter page called ‘Ahmed Alhasan احمد الحسن ’ and two websites, www.almahdyoon.com and www.saviorofmankind.com, as well as a Telegram group. Many people believe that these platforms are run by Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan, (From Him is Peace). However, the truth is that it is run by the Office of Najaf and in the article we will prove and leave no doubt that Imam Ahmed Al Hassan (From Him is Peace) is not with the Office of Najaf.
And Aba Al-Sadiq (From Him Is Peace) clarifies the matter in his episode:
Where Is Ahmed Al-Hassan? Abdullah Hashem reveals the TRUTH | أين أحمد الحسن (منه السلام)؟
The first question we must ask is, who is the Office of Najaf?
When we look at the www.saviorofmankind.com website, under the ‘Frequently Asked Questions’, for the question, ‘Has Ahmed Al-Hasan established any formal organization?’ The response given is,
An official office, located in Holy Najaf, is entrusted with the representation of Ahmed Al-Hasan. The office is under the management of Sayyid Wathiq al-Hussaini, Sheikh Nathum al-Uqaili, and Sheikh Habeeb Al-Saeedy. They release official statements based on the guidance provided by Ahmed Al-Hasan through legislative evidence or responses to their inquiries. Ahmed Al-Hasan personally oversees the operations of this esteemed office.
And for the question, ‘How can I meet Ahmed Al-Hasan?’ The response given is ‘Quote by Ahmed Al-Hasan from the Official Facebook page:
I’m honored to meet any person… but, my security conditions during this period of time do not allow me to be in a well known place. Unfortunately, there are still political parties who don’t want my presence among the people and to meet them. God willing, the beloved ones in the office or the Mahdawi Hawza or the institution for higher learning are able to do their service and can clarify everything for you. I ask God to ease the matters by His grace and favor in a quick manner so that I can be present among the people and meet them and serve them; and He[God] is the most merciful.” “…I was personally present in the Honorable City of Najaf for a long while. I used to sit and meet with the people but the government made us leave during the time of Noori Al-Malik’s rule, after we were repeatedly attacked. The last attack occurred at my home in the Honorable City of Najaf before I had left. Thousands of people know my physical appearance and what my picture looks like. This includes believers as well as other people that I have met previously. Currently, I don’t talk about my pictures because it is an issue of personal security. We do what is best and the rest is up to God, the Exalted, and He is the best protector.
So from these two responses, we wonder, when did Ahmed Al-Hassan according to the Office, appoint these representatives? Did he appoint them since the beginning of his call? Or did he appoint them when the government supposedly made him leave during the time of Noori Al-Maliki’s rule?
This is an important question because we find in one of the sermons of Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace) where he mentions that he will be leaving the land of Iraq and will return with Imam Al-Mahdi (From Him is Peace)!
“Do not be happy by me leaving you and making Hijra from your lands for it won’t be long before I return, with my father Mohammed Ibn Al-Hassan Al-Mahdi (PBUH & His Family), who shall not give you except the sword and death under the shadow of the sword!”
- Sermon of the Meeting of Imam Al-Mahdi (From Him is Peace) by Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace)
The sermon was published on the 27th of Shawwal 1424 AH, which is December 21 2003 and according to this sermon, the Imam says that he will be leaving the land of Iraq, and according to the Savior of Mankind website, the government supposedly made him leave during the time of Noori Al-Maliki’s rule.
Now according to the Office, Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan never left Iraq, from 2006 till now he remained in Iraq.
Here is a video in which the imposter of Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan had a live Paltalk session on the 26th of June 2015, where he explains his 6 year absence from 2006 to 2012:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtXmGkEubis&ab_channel=TheSaviorHasArrived
Now this 6 year absence is important, because we have a narration where it says that the Imam will be in an absence for 6 years.
https://ito.lib.eshia.ir/84599/1/162
On the authority of Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah, he said:
The Commander of the Faithful (peace be upon him) said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH & His Family) say, in a long hadith on the virtues of the Ahlul Al-Bayt (From Them is Peace): ‘There will be a blind, deaf trial after me in which every close friend and advisor will fall, and that will be at the loss of the fifth from the seventh of your children.’”

https://ito.lib.eshia.ir/84599/1/163
https://ito.lib.eshia.ir/84599/1/164
On the authority of Abdul Rahman ibn Abi Laila, Ali (From Him is Peace) said:
"I was with the Prophet (PBUH & His Family) in the house of Umm Salamah... until he said: Then the Messenger of God (PBUH & His Family) turned to us and said, raising his voice: ‘Beware when the fifth from the seventh of my progeny is lost.' Ali said: I said: ‘O Messenger of God, what will this absence be?’ He said: ‘Silence until God permits him to go out...’"
– The Objective Dictionary of the Hadiths of Imam Mahdi / Al-Kurani: 163-164
It is narrated from Abdullah ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid Kufi from Mundhir from Muhammad ibn Qabus from Nasr bin Sandi from Abu Dawood Sulaiman ibn Sufyan Mustaraq from Thalaba ibn Maimoon from Malik Jahni from Harith ibn Mughira from Asbagh ibn Nubatah that he said: I came to Amirul Mo’mineen Ali lbn Abi Talib (From Him is Peace) and found him thoughtful. He was drawing lines on the ground.
I said: "O Prince of believers, why do I see you thoughtful and you are making lines on the earth? Is it out of desire for the earth?"
He said: "No, by Allah, I have never desired it, nor for what is in the world even for one day. I was thinking about the son, who will be born from my seed - the eleventh from my sons. He is the Mahdi and he would fill up the earth with equity as it will be fraught with oppression and injustice. There will be a perplexity and occultation related to him, in which communities will go astray and communities will be guided."
I asked: "O Chief of believers, how long would this perplexity and occultation last?"
He said: “Six days, six months or six years”.
I asked: "Would this really come to pass?"
He replied: "Yes, he has been created. How would you know this, Asbagh! They are the best of this Ummah and companions of the righteous of this Household."
I asked: "What will happen after that?"
He said: "Allah will do what He desires, for He has wills, purposes and outcomes."
- Ghaybat AlToosi p 165 hadith 127 [Translator: Sayyid Athar Husain S. H. Rizvi , PubIisher: Ansariyan PubIications, First Edition 2012 -1433 - 1391] (Book Version) for English
This narration states that, “There will be a perplexity and occultation related to him, in which communities will go astray and communities will be guided.” Occultation means a state of being hidden from view or lost to notice.
Now, what sort of occultation does that mean? Does it mean that the Imam will be hidden from the people, but he will still be in touch with some believers, or does it mean that no one will be in contact with him?
https://almahdyoon.com/main/375/#gsc.tab=0
(The book) ‘Kifayat Al Aser’ – Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abdullah, from Ubeydullah Bin Ahmad Bin Yaqoub, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Masrouq, from Abdullah Bin Shuayb, from Muhammad Bin Ziyad Al Sahmy, from Sufran Bin Uyayna, from Imran Bin Dawood, from Muhammad Bin Al Hanafiya who said,
‘Amir Al-Momineen (From Him Is Peace) said: ‘I heard Rasool Allah (PBUH & His Family) saying: ‘Allah Blessed and Exalted Said: “I will Punish every citizen making it a religion with obedience of an imam who isn’t from Me, and even if the citizen was righteous in himself, and I will have Mercy on every citizen making it a religion with a just Imam from Me and even if the citizen was non-righteous in himself and no piety!” Then he said: ‘O Ali! You are the Imam and the caliph after me. Your war is my war and your peace is my peace, and you are the father of my two grandsons, and the husband of my daughter, and from your offspring would be the Purified Imams. I am the chief of the Prophets and you are the chief of the successors, and I and you are from one tree, and had it not been for us, Allah would have neither Created the Paradise, nor the Fire, nor the Prophets, nor the Angels’.He said: ‘I said: ‘O Rasool-Allah! So, are we superior or the Angels?’
He said: ‘O Ali! We are best creatures of Allah upon the extension of the earth, and better than the Angels of Proximity; and how can we not be better than them and we have preceded them to the recognition of Allah and His Tawheed. It was by us they recognised Allah, and by us they worshipped Allah, and by they were guided to the way to recognise Allah. O Ali! You are from me and I am from you, and you are my brother and my Vizier. So, when I pass away, there will be revealed to you the grudges in the chests of the people, and a deafening, blinding Fitna will be occurring after me, there shall fall during it every confidant and intimate one. And that would be during your Shias losing the fifth from the sons of the seventh from your sons. His loss would be grieved upon by the inhabitants of the earth and the sky. So, how many Momin and Momina would be sorry, sighing, confused during his loss’.
Then he lowered his head for a while, then raised his head and said: ‘By my father and my mother! He is of my name, and my resemblance, and resembling Musa Bin Imran (PBUH). Upon him would be pockets of Noor’ – or said: ‘Robes of light igniting from the rays of Holiness. It is as if I am with them, despairing as they could be, (and) there is a caller calling out, making the servants hear as if they are listening to him from nearby. He will happen to be a mercy upon the Momineen and punishment upon the hypocrites.
I said: ‘And what is that call?’ He said: ‘Three voices during Rajab. Their first is: Indeed, the Curse of Allah is upon the unjust [11:18]; and the second: The approaching (Day) approaches [53:57]; and the third, they will be seeing a body coming out with the rays of the sun calling out: ‘Indeed! Allah has Sent so and so, son of so and so!’ – until he lineages him to Ali. During it would be destruction of the oppressors. During that, the relief will appear, and Allah will Heal their chests, And he would Remove the rage of their hearts [9:15]’.
I said: ‘O Rasool-Allah! So how many Imams will there happen to be after me?’
He said: ‘After Al-Husayn, nine, their ninth being their Qaim’’.
- Bihar Al-Anwar – Vol. 36, The book of History – Amir Al Momineen, Ch 41 H 200 (English Version)
Even on the Almahdyoon website the followers mentioned these narrations…
¶ How could the Imam be absent for six years without leaving someone who represents him?
The Office supporters ask, how could the Imam be absent for six years without leaving someone who represents him, did the Imam leave his Ansar to be misguided?
The answer to that from the twelve closest companions was published as an answer on the Black Banners Forum:
"In the Name of Allah, The Abundantly Merciful, The Intensely Merciful, All praises belong to Allah the Lord of the Worlds, O Allah send Your prayers upon Muhammad and the Family of Mohammed the Imams and the Mahdis.
He did not leave anyone to be misguided. {And we have not oppressed them but they were oppressing themselves}. The Imam (as) did not leave anyone. Rather the Ansar are the ones who left him, from their bad acts."
So now it is clear, in mid-2007, Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him Is Peace) went into absence, because the Ansar had left him through their bad acts. Then a great deception took place, in which some of the men who had been present with the Imam (From Him Is Peace) claimed that they are in contact with him, and claimed that they are the moderators between him and the people. The deceitful former companions of Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him Is Peace) formed an office in his name in Najaf, Iraq. These deceivers then established an illegitimate office and a fake Facebook page (12th December 2012) and attributed it to the real Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him Is Peace) and named it ‘Ahmed Alhasan احمد الحسن ’ in both Arabic and English. They also created a website in both English and Arabic.
They pretended to represent the Yamani from the Family of Mohammed (From Them is Peace). Using his name, they established a form of authority over the Ansar around the world, claiming that they were working for him in his name and with his approval. This was all based on falsehood and treachery.
And there is a narration from the Imams that state that the fifth from the seventh son of Imams will have an absence.
In a long narration, it says,
‘"…The Messenger of Allah (PBUH & His Family) turned to us, raising his voice, saying: Be cautious when the fifth from the seventh of my sons is lost. So I said: O Messenger of Allah, so what would this absence be? So he said: Silence, until Allah gives him permission to emerge…"
¶ What will happen to the believers during this absence?
And this absence is the one, which the Ahlul-Bayt (From Them is Peace) have emphasized on, and they (From Them is Peace) said that the companions of the Mahdi and his Shia and the ones who believe in him will be in a confusion and in a silent disastrous Fitna after he goes into this absence.
The Messenger of Allah (PBUH & His Family) said:
“O Ali, you are from me and I am from you, and you are my brother and vizier, so if I die, there will appear to you the hatred in the chests of the people. And there will be after me a silent disastrous Fitna, every "walijah" and "bitana" will fall in it. And that is when your shia lose the fifth from the seventh of your sons. The inhabitants of the heavens and the earth will grieve for his loss! How many believing men and women will be grievous and anxious and confused when he is lost!
Who is "the fifth from the sons of the seventh" of the sons of Imam Ali (From Him is Peace)?
First let's count and see who is the 7th son, then we can see who is the 5th from the 7th.
1st son is Imam Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace)
2nd son is Imam Al-Hussein (From Him is Peace)
3rd son is Imam Ali Zainul Abideen (From Him is Peace)
4th son is Imam Mohammed Al-Baqir (From Him is Peace)
5th son is Imam Ja'far Al-Sadiq (From Him is Peace)
6th son is Imam Musa Al-Kathim (From Him is Peace)
7th son is Imam Ali Al-Ridha (From Him is Peace)
So the 7th son is Imam Ali Al-Ridha (From Him is Peace). Let us see, then, who is the 5th from Imam Ali Al-Ridha (PBUH):
1st son is Imam Mohammed Al-Jawwad (From Him is Peace)
2nd son is Imam Ali Al-Hadi (From Him is Peace)
3rd son is Imam Al-Hassan Al-Askari (From Him is Peace)
4th son is Imam Mohammed Al-Mahdi (From Him is Peace)
5th son is Imam Ahmad Al-Hassan! (From Him is Peace)
The one meant here is Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace). He is the fifth from the seventh of the sons of the Prince of the Believers (From Him is Peace), and the disastrous silent fitna takes place when he is lost, meaning in his absence which lasts for six years maximum, and this silent disastrous fitna in which every intimate (walijah) and hypocrite (bitana)* will fall, يسقط فيها كل وليجة وبطانة .
So if the absence would only be that the Imam (From Him is Peace) is hiding, but still communicates with his trustworthy Ansar online and clarifies everything for them, why then would there be confusion and a “silent disastrous fitna”?
*Note that the meaning of "walijah" وليجة in the Arabic dictionaries is “the intimate [friend or close one] to the human being and his special ones, or the ones who the human being depend on from other than his family, or he is from the companions of the secret”. And the meaning of "bitana" وبطانة in the Arabic dictionaries is the "dependents and special ones and the people whom he trusts, the ones whom surrounds him and accompany him, and they are close to him and he does not hide a secret from them {O you who have believed, do not take as Bitana (intimates) those other than yourselves}. [Holy Qur’an 3:118]".
So walijah and bitana mean the special ones of the Ansar and their leaders and those who met Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace) and took from him a lot of knowledge and secrets which no one knows except them and they are the ones who speak of him (From Him is Peace) and believe in his call (From Him is Peace)!
Aren't those the likes of Nathim Al-Uqaily and Alaa Al-Salem and Hassan Al-Hamami and their likes from the "sheikhs" of the Ansar that the fake Imam mentioned in his video?
Now we need to ask ourselves: If the fitna would have not been silent, and there would have been sufficient communication would the Shia be perplexed?!
And look at how much communication the office Shuyukh claimed to have had between 2006-2012 with the Imam: Multiple answers to various questions were given, multiple sermons delivered and multiple books published. If the Imam was guiding the Ansar closely like that, this situation would not match the description of a silent disastrous fitnah from the narrations at all!
The narrations state that the absence of the Imam will be disastrous.
So this mean that the Imam will not be in the public for 6 years. However, according to the imposter of Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan, he had a live Paltalk session, he was still in touch with some of the believers and sent reports to them, and we all know that books and statements where created throughout this time, and Ahmed Al-Hassan supposedly had a Facebook page where he was making posts.
One thing that this imposter says is that the people he was in contact with were: ‘Sayed Alaa Al-Mayali, Hussein Al-Jubouri (Abu Sajjad), his brother Muhammad (may God protect him), and Sheikh Haider Al-Ziyadi, Sheikh Muhammad Al-Harishawi and other trustworthy believers at the time’
Let’s look at one of the Facebook posts of Haider Al-Ziyad.
In this post, the so-called Sheikh Haider al-Ziyari states that he has an official authorization paper, which allows him to deal with Imam Ahmad al-Hassan's house and farming land. He says, “and it is a recent authorization paper, and for sure, this cannot be done except by his direct command and his signature.”
But it seems that Haider al-Ziyari did not do his research before publishing such a huge lie. On the website of the Iraqi government it states, the authorizer must appear in person in front of the council when issuing the authorization:
https://mofa.gov.iq/authorization/
How can the Imam, let alone anyone who is a fugitive in Iraq, and chased by the intelligence services all over the world, appear in front of the Iraqi council to issue an authorization paper? Or could it be that the Iraqi government had done the very man that they want to arrest a favor, so that someone can take care of his affairs in Iraq for him? Rather, it seems that the Iraqi government is doing you a favor in helping you steal the Imam's property.
And let us look at one of the posts of Shiekh Nadhim Aloqaili:
He says, “The conspiracy is to separate and isolate the Ansar from Sayyed Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace). They know very well that Sayyed Al-Yamani (From Him is Peace) cannot now appear in public due to the persecution of his oppressors, and so all they have to do is take advantage of the opportunity and challenge and question the means by which Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace) represents himself officially, that is, questioning the official websites, such as the page of Sayed (peace be upon him) and the official website, and questioning the office of Sayyed Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace), the only body that officially represents him. They create another (Ahmed Al-Hassan) for themselves and claim that he is the oppressed person whose rights are being usurped, and they are his defenders who are loyal to him... In short, it is a failed attempt to clone the blessed Yemeni call.”
The question here is, if the Yamani (From Him is Peace) is chased by the oppressors and cannot appear publicly then how can he (From Him is Peace) sign and authenticate a legal government authorization paper in front of the consulate or the Judicial department inside Iraq!?
Here is clarification of a list of publications produced by the office from 2006 to 2012.
The Sealing Prophecy – by Imam Ahmad Al-Hassan pbuh (Translated from Arabic to English by the Ansar of Imam Ahmad Al-Hassan pbuh), published in Thul-Hija AH 1427 (2006)

The Thirteenth Disciple (originally: Al-Hawwari al-Thalith Ashar), published in 2012
And you can find many other books that were published on their official Arabic website: https://almahdyoon.com/main/ylib/
However, the narrations that we have presented state that the absence of the Imam will be a silent disastrous Fitna, every "walijah" and "bitana" will fall in it in which many believing men and women will be grievous and anxious and confused when he is lost and in which communities will go astray and communities will be guided. So 2006 to 2012, when did such a great confusion occur? What disastrous fitna took place? If many believing men and women knew that that they could not be in touch with the Imam, when did they become grievous and anxious?
The description of the absence of the Imam does not fit if he is simply hiding, yet you can learn from his knowledge online, but it does fit if the Imam is not with you and you have no way of communicating with him. The Imam having no communication with the believers is a huge test and it is a fina in which believing men and women will be grievous and anxious and confused.
Furthermore, it is narrated from Ali Ibn Ja'far that: Imam Al-Kadhim (From Him is Peace) said, "When the fifth (offspring) from the seventh of the Imams disappears, then, I adjure you by Allah to watch for your religion so that no one would take it away from you. Without doubt, there shall be an occultation for the holder of this matter until such time that (most) people who believe in his Imamat would leave their belief. Verily this (occultation) is but a test by Allah, the Glorious, for his creation."
And how immense must the issue be, which takes place during the absence of the the fifth from the seventh, that some who believed in him completely lose their religion!" A Shia looses his religion, if he goes out from the wilayah (guardianship) of Ahlul-Bayt (From Him is Peace), because the religion is a man, the Imam. Whoever loses him loses the religion. But who could take away the Guardian from them after they know him (From Him is Peace)? Since it is not easy to only be an impostor, who takes people away from the real Imam (From Him is Peace) to someone imitating the position of the true Imam.
Also let us not forget that Imam Ahmed Al Hassan (From Him is Peace) mentioned in one of his sermons that he will be leaving the land of Iraq!:
“O you oppressors! Do not be happy by me leaving you and making Hijra from your lands for it won't be long before I return, with my father Mohammed ibn Al Hassan the Mahdi, peace be upon him, who shall not give you except the Sword and Death under the Shadow of the Sword!"
– Sermon of the Meeting of Imam Al-Mahdi (PBUH & His Family) by Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace)
Imam Ahmed Al Hassan (From Him is Peace) not only says clearly that he will be leaving and making hijra from Iraq, he also says that he will return with his Father, Mohammed ibn Al-Hassan the Mahdi (PBUH & His Family), and this was said in 2003.
But in January 2015, Allah (SWT) decreed the reappearance of His Vicegerents, Imam Al-Mahdi (PBUH & His Family) and Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace) to expose this conspiracy through their 12 closest companions. The 12 informed the Ansar that the Facebook page, with its posts and audio recordings, is faked, along with all the "official" actions undertaken by the Office. Thereby they exposed the usurpers of the right of the Imam (From Him is Peace), who until this day unfortunately deceive many Ansar by imitating the position of Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace) through the false Facebook Imam while presenting themselves upon the Ansar as the alleged representatives of his alleged Office.
The following are the proofs related to the faked Facebook page, publications and imitated voice.
¶ The faked voice attributed to the Imam
The Calf in the time of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH & His Family), according to the tafsir and hadiths [1] of the Ahlul-Bayt (From them is Peace), was not a mooing Idol made of gold, but Abu Bakr, the "close companion" of Prophet Mohammed, the hypocrite who even was together with the Prophet (PBUH & His Family) in the cave. And the Samiri, who called to worship the Calf in the time of the Holy Prophet (PBUH & His Family), according to the tafsir of the Ahlul-Bayt (From Them is Peace) was the "close companion" Umar ibn Al-Khattab.
[1] Allama Majlesi, Bihar-ul-Anwaar, Page No. 629; Allama Majlisi, Haqqul Yaqeen; Tafseer Qummi p.160
And in this Daawa, the Facebook page is the Calf, and the representatives of the Office call to worship this fake Imam's identity. To strengthen the aura of authenticity of the page and furthermore to legitimize the Office, its representatives let someone imitate the Imam's voice to fabricate audio-recordings and let "him" appear on Paltalk. Since this voice (recorded and live) is their "strongest" argument, they vigorously defend the fabricated audio-recordings and the content of the voice-imitators' speeches.
But just as one can distinguish the unique voice print of his father or mother from an imitator, one might detect the difference between Ahmed Al-Hassan's voice and an imitation. What is even more important is, that the effect on the heart by what is said differs gravely – even though the rhythm of the speech, the intonation, the wording and the sentence structure are being imitated.
But of course, distinguishing the false from the real voice is still difficult, without also evaluating the content of the speech. It is possible that a fake voice can be created, as you can see e.g. in the article: "Fake Voice Recordings Easy To Make, Hard To Detect." from Science Daily, 11 April 2003 (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2003/04/030411071141.htm), or here in an article from Geek on "Voice Cloning" (http://www.geek.com/news/voice-cloning-543738/) or that simply a voice-imitator is used for this task.
Note: It is important to remember, that in the case of Musa, Allah also punished the people, who had begun to worship the Calf, by giving the Calf a perceivable voice. So it is not something unheard of or impossible, that the delusion, that is presented to the people, is extremely convincing and seems very authentic and real.
"…And in those forty nights, the Samiri took advantage of the absence of Moses (PBUH) and he made a calf from ornaments, and Samiri has thrown on this calf a handful of soil which he took from under the hoof of the horse of Gabriel (PBUH), so the image of the calf mooed like a cow, meaning a voice like the voice of a real calf. Moses (PBUH) said: ‘O Lord, the Calf is from Samiri, so the lowing is from whom?’ He said: ‘From Me O Moses, because when I saw them that they have turned away from [have left] Me to the Calf, I liked to give them more Fitnah…'"
– Tafsir Al-Qummi, quoted by Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace) in The Calf
First audio-recording published on Fake Imam's Facebook Page
With this audio-recording the Facebook Imam tried to fix his position by using his voice as a proof - while it is not a proof in terms of sharia.
Translated transcript of Impostor Imam’s Facebook voice message titled "Those Who Doubt" on the Saviorofmankind forum
(http://www.saviorofmankind.com/homepage/88-english-uk/article/838-imam-pbuh-facebook-post-those-who-doubt-audio translation):
"May the peace, mercy and blessings of Allah be upon you. In the name of Allah, the Abundantly Merciful, the Intensely Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.May the abundant peace and prayers of Allah be upon Muhammad and his progeny, the Imams and the Mahdis.
With the passing of each day, many people, whether they be students of religious sciences or others, declare their belief in the call of truth by the favor of Allah. But just as it happens with all divine calls, some of those people declare and show their belief for malicious, premeditated purposes. The call of truth has experienced many of those hypocrites, propelled by Satan or certain entities, and these people have returned to them in failure and disappointment:
{But they who plot evil deeds will have a severe punishment, and the plotting of those will perish.} Surat Fatir (Originator) 35:10.
It has reached me these days that some of those claiming to believe in me doubt the official Office in Holy Najaf, and they doubt this blessed page in which I posted a message in my own voice. After this voice message, none of those people have any excuse left. If they were not being malevolent, let them declare their repentance now and their request for forgiveness from Allah. Otherwise, let them avoid me and not pretend to believe in me. And may the peace, mercy and blessings of Allah be upon you."
Are looks and voice a compelling proof for an Imam?
While a voice has never been a proof for Imamat, Muhammed Atiyya went so far to add further elements to the Law of Knowing the Hujjah to suit it to his desire of making the voice a legit proof – find the refutation by Dr. Ali Ghurayfi here.

And Alaa Al-Salem followed in his footsteps by also forcing the looks into the Law of Knowing the Hujjah during his appearance on Al-Baghdadiyya TV-channel minute 12:20

In fact there is no part in The Law of Knowing the Hujjah called „the looks and the voice“. But the Office and it’s shuyukh emphasize on the issue of the looks and voice because all their glory stems from there and not many people saw Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace) yet.
Of course that Ahlul-Bayt (PBUT) knew that there would be a technological revolution allowing to change looks as voice such as plastic surgery, makeup or means for voice imitation (if not an imitator is used) or, or, or – and therefore mentioning such things as part of the Law of Knowing the Hujjah has no value and is far from the truth.
The physical descriptions do not even compliment the Law of Knowing the Hujjah. In fact it is a precise Quranic Law and if one attempts to add any weak or allegorical element this would make the entire Law weak.
Note: The looks and the voice can be imitated. The will can be claimed after it’s rightful owner was the first to claim it. But what cannot be imitated is the knowledge, from it is the knowledge of the Unseen. What can also not be imitated is the stance regarding the Supremacy of Allah and the readiness/willingness to die for it and confronting the tyrants.
Exposing The Calf! Watch His Slaughter | فضح العجل! شاهدوا ذبحه| AROPL
For years, the Calf has deceived people into believing that Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace) is the owner of the fake Facebook Page and the voice behind it. Today, we, the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light (AROPL) have exposed the fake voice behind the Facebook page and it's diabolical attempt to misguide and misdirect the believers. So if Artificial Intelligence (AI) can imitate the voice of the Imam, what makes the voice a great argument.
¶ Others writing in the name of the Imam (FHIP)
Tawfiq Masrour admits, that he writes in the letters of the Imam (From Him is Peace) In the conversation below between Abdullah Hashem and Tawfiq Masrour Tawfiq admitted, that he is the one who wrote "engineer" about Showqy, and when Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq asked him, "so does this mean that you write in the name of the Imam (PBUH)?" he said, "no." And he claimed that he only writes "intros" or "the beginning parts" for the Imam (From Him is Peace) – as if this is ok!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxXfbYu9GMk&t=63s&ab_channel=TheBlackBanners
minute: 3:55 min
However, as clear from the letter in the pictures (which is supposed to be from the Imam), the part where he mentioned "engineer Showqy" is at the end of the letter not even in the beginning or an intro or any of the excuses he gave.
Chat between Abdullah Hashem (From Him is Peace) and Tawfiq Masrour
Mostafa Al-Asady admits that Dr. Tawfiq indeed writes on Imam's faked Facebook-page
This is Mostafa Al-Asady, in his attempt to respond to Abdullah Hashem (From Him is Peace), says that Tawfiq Al-Masrour indeed does write in the name of the Imam as on the fake facebook page, and what’s more is that he does not see a problem in that, and in deceiving people like that. Didn’t he write in the description of the Facebook page that it is a page in which Ahmed Ibn Ismael (From Him is Peace), Vicegerent and Messenger of Imam Al-Mahdi (PBUH and his family), writes?
How and what gives them the right to write in the name of the Imam (From Him is Peace)? And how do we know that Tawfiq Masrour is not the one who ordered to build this “Riser Brigade” in cooperation with the tyrants in the first place and then attributed it to the Imam(From Him is Peace)? This is the biggest proof that they are posing as/ imitating the Imam (From Him is Peace) and his position.

Original publications vs. faked publications
One can assume, that all publications after Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace) went into silent absence in 2008 were faked. But one must be careful, since the Office might have published writings of his, after 2008, which he (From Him is Peace) wrote before 2008. But they also might have published somethings after 2008 and changed the date "the imam" signed with to before 2008. So it is not clear for each publication, if it is originally from the Imam (From Him is Peace) or if it was distorted or entirely faked.
So sometimes they might keep the words of the Imam almost untouched, when publishing some of what he (From Him is Peace) left behind, when he went into absence, but some other times they might tamper with his writings and to adjust them to suit their own aims and agenda. And in those cases these criminals, would always mix the words of Allah (SWT), the words of Ahlul-Bayt (PBUT), the words of the prophets and messengers (PBUT), and some of the knowledge, they received from the Imam (From Him is Peace) earlier, with their own words, in order to deceive the reader into believing, that the publication was from the Imam (From Him is Peace) and not their own fabrication.
Furthermore there are several books from the Imam (From Him is Peace), which are still in the hands of the Calf and the Samiri.
The latest major publications of the Impostor Imam (e.g. voice-recordings) are documented on the page Impostor Imam's media appearances. The Office Supporters see those as strong proofs for their Imam's supposed divine knowledge. You will also find the refutations there.

Book-title theft by the Illegitimate Office
When Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace) went into a silent absence some of his manuscripts and unpublished books remained in the hands of the Illegitimate Office, which is run by those treacherous shuyukh, who used to present themselves as his closest companions. Amongst those was the book "They ask you about the Soul". But the Office had kept silent about that book ever since then.
But in February 2016 the real Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace), who is the Leader of The Black Banners of the East, reclaimed his intellectual property and announced the release of the book "They Ask You About the Soul" via Abdullah Hashem (From Him is Peace).
In June 2016 - more than 5 month later- the Illegitimate Office (LA) announced that they will release the same-titled book by the end of the month of Ramadan 2016.
This shows that the Dawa of the false office is so empty that they totally depend on stealing the intellectual property of Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace), and cannot bring out any divine knowledge. Until today they are publishing books in his name - mixing what they had learnt from him long ago and what they had seized of his documents with their own lies and false opinions. They have reached a new low point. This release is a complete indication that the Imam (From Him is Peace) is not with the fake office because the Black Banners claimed this release many months ago when the office had fallen silent. May Allah (SWT) curse those who think that they can steal more of the knowledge of our Father (From Him is Peace)!

Najaf Office: Declaration of Dissociation
On April 18, 2023, the Najaf Office has a Facebook post declaring themselves innocent from Aba Al Sadiq (Abdullah Hashem) (From Him is Peace)
https://www.facebook.com/Alnajafalashraf/posts/pfbid023jGhKJbvCakcQErAkFnizv5YwRqkkhr4AxeqdnMd27NY1vdq1kFDkLvYjhEAPtq5l
Look at the powerful response from Aba Al Sadiq (Abdullah Hashem) (From Him is Peace)
https://www.facebook.com/AbaAlSadiq/posts/pfbid02946QyAXYrkVx7mA7VQSsMXpCNL7whwdEQeSNf5VDGgvoVRJK8FSbNX7rcytoiBrWl
May God’s curse be upon the owners of this dirty page that claims to be Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace), while those who control it are a handful of criminals, including Nazim Al-Aqili, Alaa Al-Salem, Tawfiq Masrour and others.
How could they declare their innocence of me when I had already declared my innocence of them more than seven years ago before they did?
Before they call me a thief, they should tell everyone what happened with the huge sums of money they collected when they claimed to be forming the “Al-Qaim Brigades” in order to defend Iraq?
Despite this, Al-Qaim's brigades were never formed and they never fought. Just take the money and that's it.
Starting with ridiculous fatwas about vaccines, congratulating people on the occasion of the new Hijri month, praising government representatives, and calling for people’s governance, this Facebook page is nothing more than a joke.
No one believes this lie anymore.
The successor and guardian of the fake Facebook page is an office whose sole purpose is to publish pictures of poor people sitting in an office.
May God’s curse be upon this calf and the Samaritan who are behind this page.
The real Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace) is with us. The Imam's true guardian is with us, and he is me.
I am a servant of God in the will.
If you deny me, you must deny Ahmed.
You believed in him without seeing Imam Mahdi (PBUH and his family).
You believed in the narration that says: “He has two names: a name that is hidden, and a name that is revealed. As for the one that is hidden, it is Ahmad, and as for the one that is revealed, it is Muhammad.” And you say that the word “two names” means “two people.”
You took the command of Imam Mahdi (PBUH and his family) and shared it with Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace) and then you denied the commandment that says:
“He has three names: ... Abdullah and Ahmed, and the third name: Al-Mahdi.” And you claim that they are all for one person, Ahmed Al-Hassan.
If the pronunciation of two names means two people, then the pronunciation of three nouns means three personalities.
If you are false, then Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace) is also false and forbidden
And far from that are we.
-Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq (From Him is Peace)

The Office Do Not Uphold the Supremacy of God
Reporting to the Iraqi Police
The Iraqi government is stating, that there are two groups of Ansar– one of which they are informed about each and every individual, and subsequently there must be one that is not cooperative.
Quote of an Iraqi Government official on the "Al-Hurra" Channel:
"In truth the Yamani group has two divisions – one division supports the government and they have permission from us, and they have a Hussainya and a newspaper called "Sirat Al-Mustaqeem". And we know each and every one of their members, individual by individual."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Q1Z47bgyTU&rco=1&ab_channel=TheBlackBanners minute: 4:29 mins
So cooperation with the government is proven, and the video shows that to be allowed to have an Office in Iraq, you have to cooperate with them and let go of basic principles of your faith otherwise you will be snatched.
So that means, that the Shuyukh are in place and left alone (even though they claim to be the closest of a badly wanted man in Iraq and most possibly worldwide) because they do actually collaborate with the police and intelligence services and report to them.
If the Offices' representatives would really be the great "Ansari shuyukh" close to the Imam(From Him is Peace), then they would surely have been hiding too, been jailed or else and not lead a comfortable easy life.
Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace) writes in his book "The Wilderness":
"Many believers practise taqqiya excessively, and few believers neglect it, an it is narrated from the Imams (From Them is Peace) to neither practise taqqiya excessively nor neglect it, Al-Sadiq (From Him is Peace) said that which means, 'Taqqiya is my religion and the religion of my fathers.' And he (From Him is Peace) said, 'Whoever has no taqqiya has no religion.' And it is narrated from him (From Him is Peace): 'If you were called to support us, taqqiya would be more beloved to you than your fathers would be.'" So while he (From Him is Peace) emphazises taqqiya and practising it in it's rightful place, he mentions, that some people fail to support the family of Muhammed (PBUT) and use taqqiya as their excuse, especially in the era of appearance of Imam Mahdi (PBUH & His Family). Meaning that in the era of the Mahdi many will neglect giving victory to the qaim because of taqiyya. They will not support the family of Mohammed (PBUT), because they will say ‘I have to protect my life so I won't stand up for the truth’".
¶ Hassan Al-Hammami
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Q1Z47bgyTU&rco=1&ab_channel=TheBlackBanners minute: 5:53 mins
Many of the followers of Najaf say that Hassan al-Hammami was using Taqiyya, however this is what the Imam (From Him Is Peace) says about those who use Taqiyya to cooperate with the tyrants.
“As for the submission of some of the non-working scholars and those who follow them to the tyrant and their silence and leaving commanding the good and forbidding evil, this is their personal conduct and has nothing to do with Taqiyya. Rather, it is caused by the cowardice that is inside of them and the love of life and this world that has filled their chest until they now walk on a path that is opposite of the path of the prophets and messengers.” - The Calf (Arabic Version) p.166
And think about it, Hassan al-Hammami clearly states that he is one of the leaders of the Yemeni movement in Basra. How is it possible that he was released after admitting that he was one of the official representatives of the call and the imam in the Friday prayer while dozens of other Ansar are in prison till this very day? Can anyone who is sane believe that someone who admitted to being in such a high position in the call and in direct contact with the imam, peace be upon him, was simply released from custody? This while dozens of other Ansar were sentenced to death or life imprisonment and remain in prison till this very day.
The only explanation for such an outcome would be that he made a deal with the Iraqi government or had a deal with the government from the very beginning.
One of the main pillars of the Dawah is the Supremacy of People and elections are invalid. The people choosing their own leaders is falsehood and against the Supremacy of God, yet here we have the Office calling for a ‘technocratic government’. Which completely goes against the Supremacy of God.
Here it literally says, ‘المطالبة بحكومة تكنوقراط!!’ ‘Demand a technocratic government!!’
https://www.facebook.com/The.Savior.Ahmed.Alhasan/videos/1441385542541879
On top of that, here we have Alaa Al Salem, one of the representatives of the Office stating that ‘Allah’s Supremacy does not interrupt elections. Let no one imagine that we stand against elections. People can participate in appointing a ruler but this ruler should be under the supervision of that man, who is nominated by Allah.’
https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1038125956558379
While Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him Is Peace) said:
“As for the oppressive rulers, Al-Hussain (From Him Is Peace) killed them and clarified the invalidity of the supremacy of the people in all it’s forms, whether it was by shura among them (the elections) or by appointment by the people. And Al-Hussain (From Him Is Peace) clarified, that supremacy is for Allah (SWT), because He (SWT) can appoint and the people must accept his appointment.“ – The Sermon of the Students of the Hawza

Calling upon the army of Iraq
Getting armed by the Iraqi government
On the 22nd of May 2015, the owner of the fake facebook page of Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan published the below statement:
"....The situation is very dangerous after many terrorist organizations took over Iraq and are destroying Syria and moving towards Baghdad, and that the time is not on the side of Baghdad or Karbala or Najaf or others; that is why we are ready to form fighting forces to protect the land of Iraq and its holy sites, so if the the Iraqian government is ready to cooperate with Ansars of Imam Mahdi (PBUH & His Family) to defend the land of Iraq and its holy sites, then let the prime minister of Iraq or someone representing him officially, or the ministry of defense or someone representing him officially, or the interior minister or someone representing him officially contact the official Office in Najaf to coordinate forming fighting forces and arming them and preparing them for defending the land of Iraq and its holy sites..."
You may read the full statement here
(https://www.facebook.com/AhmedAlhasanEnglish.10313/posts/936437466421436 ).
We have witnessed at this time ISIS (la), was torturing, beheading, raping, demolishing the shrines... So we ask the Office and it's supporters now, what has been changed? Did Imam Ahmed (From Him Is Peace) call the Ansar to go to jihad and fight against Isis shoulder to shoulder with the Syrian Army at that time? No, he did not.
Because he (From Him Is Peace) will only raise the "Supremacy of Allah" banner, not the Supremacy of People banner. Why would the Imam (From Him Is Peace) call the Ansar to jihad now? It is clear, that in this jihad, there is just one banner which is the Iraqi banner which equals to supremacy of people!
This is what Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him Is Peace) said about cooperation with the tyrants:
In the book ‘The Allegories’, Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him Is Peace) answered to Question 90:
Question 90
"It has been narrated from Ahlul Bayt (From Them is Peace): Verily, the best of works are Wilayah (accepting the authority of and following Ahlul Bayt (From Them is Peace)and Innocence (declaring oneself innocent from the enemies of Ahlul Bayt (From Them is Peace). Meaning, taking the Supporters/Devotees of Allah as an authority over him, and they are the Prophets and Vicegerents, and being enemies with the enemies of Allah, and they are the enemies of the Prophets and Vicegerents and the enemies of their Shia (followers). So which work is put forth before the other, Wilayah or declaring oneself innocent [from the enemies of Allah]?
The Answer:Declaring oneself innocent [from the enemies of Allah] is put forth before Wilayah, rather, Wilayah can not be achieved except by declaring oneself innocent [from the enemies of Allah]. He, The Exalted, said: {Certainly, right has become clearly distinct from wrong. Whoever disbelieves in the Taghut (Tyrant) and believes in Allah has firmly taken hold of a strong handle that never breaks} [Surat Al-Baqarah 2:256]. So He (SWT) has put forth disbelieving in the Tyrant before believing in Allah, The Glorious. And disbelieving in the Tyrant is: Declaring oneself innocent from the enemies of Allah. And believing in Allah is: Taking the Supporters/Devotees of Allah (SWT) as an authority over him. Thus, believing in Allah (SWT) and truly taking the Supporters/Devotees of Allah as an authority is never achieved except after one declares himself innocent from the enemies of Allah and [from] the enemies of the Supporters/Devotees of Allah. And in the end of Surat Al-Mujadilah ([Surah 58]) He (SWT) emphasizes this meaning, for He, The Exalted, says that which means: you would never find the ones who believe in Allah and in the Hereafter loving the ones who are stubborn against Allah and enemies with Allah and His Messenger and the Imams, even if this stubborn person is the closest to them in kinship. He, The Exalted, said: {You will not find a people who believe in Allah and the Last Day loving those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, even if they were their fathers or their sons or their brothers or their kindred. Those - He has decreed within their hearts faith and supported them with spirit from Him. And We will admit them to gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally. Allah is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him - those are the party of Allah.
Unquestionably, the party of Allah - they are the successful} [Surat Al-Mujadilah 58:22]
And this is the path of the Supporters/Devotees of Allah themselves, for they firstly declare themselves innocent from the Tyrant, in order that they may show that declaring oneself innocent from the Tyrant is put forth before and precedes faith and submission to Him (SWT).
Otherwise, how would a person be a Muslim (submitting to Allah) if he compliments and love the Tyrants? Or compliments and love one who is stubborn against Allah and His Messenger? Even if this stubborn person was from his family or tribe. This is Yusuf (Joseph) (PBUH) emphasizing this meaning and [emphasizing] that declaring oneself innocent [of the enemies of Allah] is put forth before Wilayah {Indeed, I have left the religion of a people who do not believe in Allah , and they, in the Hereafter, are disbelievers. And I have followed the religion of my fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And it was not for us to associate anything with Allah. That is from the favor of Allah upon us and upon the people, but most of the people are not grateful} [Surat Yusuf 12:37-38]" – Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace), The Allegories, Question 90
Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace) also said:
"There are some members of the police and guards, who returned to their senses and believed in this true call, and some of them are Officers with high ranks. I have asked all of them, to not support the unjust ones even with a split of a dried date, and to do justice to the oppressed ones, even if it was on their account, and to be ready at all times to face the infidels of the Americans and their dissolute followers." - Ahmed Al-Hassan, Jawab Al-Muneer part 1
Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace) also said:
"It is not permissible to help the oppressor in any way at all, rather, it is obligatory to demolish the state of the tyrant by every possible way and to destroy its pillars, and it is a part from the kingdom of Satan. And it is not permissible to plead/defend in front of judges, who judge by something different than what Allah sent down, and theHujjah of Allah did not give them the authority to judge between the people… As for if you are working by what is possible in order to push away the oppression of some of the people from each other, then also you must take into consideration what has been presented, so you do not be a helper to the oppressor and the tyrant by strengthening his kingdom and rulership, and work on helping the oppressed and rescuing the believer." - Ahmed Al-Hassan, Jawab Al-Muneer, part 3, p.74
In the book of ‘The Calf’, Imam Ahmad Al Hasan (From Him Is Peace) clearly rejects the permissibility of joining the armed forces of the tyrant state:
“Perhaps one of their reasons to distort is their fear from the ruling tyrant, so they issue fatwas in order to please him and to avoid clashing with him, for example they issue Fatwa that it is permissible to join his armed forces, whose main mission is to strike the Islamic populations and to weaken the religion of Allah in His land and to destroy it if possible.” - Ahmed Al-Hassan, The Calf Volume 2
And he (From Him Is Peace) said:
"O beloved ones, bear the hardship and accept little from that, which is halal, and refrain from seeking for this world, and do not make peace with the tyrants and their supporters, as the relief of the family of Muhammed (PBUT) and of you is close, Allah willing." Ahmed Al-Hassan, The Wilderness
The Imam (From Him Is Peace) said in the book ‘The Calf’:
"Whoever puts his hands in the hands of Bani Abbas, is from them!" - Ahmed Al-Hassan, The Calf
And he (From Him is Peace) said:
"These tyrants have placed [the people] between two [alternatives], fighting or humiliation, as was said by our master Al-Hussain (From Him Is Peace)." – Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him Is Peace), The Way to Allah p.56, English Edition
And he (From Him is Peace) said:
"Believing in the tyrant, seeking his judgment/referring to him, helping him, relying on him, submitting to him, and surrendering to him, are all acts of association with Allah and going astray away from the straight path of Allah. And what a great misguidance that is! Do you see that if a disbeliever in Allah or someone who associates others with Allah, fasts and prays, that his prayers and fasting are accepted? Verily the acts of worship have been made in order for the servant to prove through them the obedience to Allah, so if he was obedient to the tyrant, who is an enemy to Allah, so what meaning is left for his acts of worship??! Verily the moment in which the human being complies with the commands of the tyrant and his laws, is a moment of disbelieving in Allah and going out of His Wilayah (authority) to the Wilayah (authority) of the tyrant, and from the light to the darkness." – Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him Is Peace), The Way to Allah, page 17, English Edition
And he (From Him is Peace) said:
“… and he is Imam Mohammed ibn Al-Hassan Al-Mahdi (PBUH and his family) and he is alive sustained until this day and he will rise with the sword like his grandfather rose and it is obligatory upon the Muslim to follow him and call towards him and put him before his soul and money and children, and the Muslim must work to uphold/raise his word and show his matter and show the oppression he (PBUH and his family) has been going through, and he must prepare for his (PBUH and his family) state and he must be enemies with his (PBUH and his family) enemies the oppressive tyrants who dominate over this nation and their helpers and their disbelieving soldiers who are out of the wilayah of Allah and in the wilayah of Iblis the cursed, and the believer must not fear their number or their equipment. Allah (SWT) says: {And they have plotted, and We have plotted. while they do not feel. So see what is the end of their plot, verily We have destroyed them and their people, all of them. So those are destroyed houses by what they have done of oppression. Verily in that is a sign for people who know} Holy Quran Surat An-Naml 50-52.” – Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace), The Calf Volume 1, p.21 (English Version)
He (From Him is Peace) also said:
"And perhaps some of them use the excuse, that they fear the tyrants and fear being killed, but it is an ugly and unacceptable excuse, for if the weapon must be carried, let us carry it in the face of the tyrants, not carry it to support them!" – Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan, The Way to Allah, page 14, English edition
And we find him saying,
"Thus, the purpose of Jihad is to uphold the word of Allah, and not for personal interests or spoils of war or national interest or nationalism/patriotism. For verily, the divine religion is above all these considerations, and worshipping Allah and being obedient to Him is that which gather the believers regardless of their tribal or patriotic or national affiliations, which all go back to one reality, and that is the Ego (the "I"), and love of the self…Therefore, the Jihad, whether offensive or defensive, should be for the sake of upholding the word of Allah, not for the sake of defending the country or land, in order that the believer may not have any personal interest in the Jihad, except for upholding the word of Allah, so that the divine civilization, divine culture, and divine freedom, may be built, which are all completely contradictory to civilization and culture and freedom, by which is the slogan raised in The Physical World today. Whereas, what is being raised today is but the banner of Satan, which the soldiers of Satan, from among Mankind and Jinn, pursue with all of their abilities on this Earth, and in order to convince the people of the earth with power and greed that the two Mountains of the Dajjal (the Mountain of fire and the Mountain of food), is what suits them." – Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace), Jihad is The Door to Paradise, page 33, English edition
Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace) said:
“As for the oppressive rulers, Al-Hussain (From Him is Peace) killed them and clarified the invalidity of the supremacy of the people in all it’s forms, whether it was by Shura among them (the elections) or by appointment by the people. And Al-Hussain (From Him is Peace) clarified, that supremacy is for Allah (SWT), because He (SWT) can appoint and the people must accept his appointment.” – Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace), The Sermon of the Students of the Hamza
“Blessed be you O Believers! O you who ratify the Supremacy of Allah, His reign and His appointment, the All Mighty. And there is another greeting for those, who contradict the religion of Allah and deny the Supremacy of Allah the Almighty and oppose the Divine Appointment because of the misguiding scholars and those who follow them. And I tell them: “Do what you please! Truly you are paving the way to the Successor who is the Successor whether it pleases you or not and you will lose this world and the Hereafter, and that is the clear loss.” Here you are realizing your loss in this world day after day. And the falseness of your accounting and your suppositions have been made clear to you. You have accounted for everything except Allah. And those who followed the misguiding scholars began to realize that they have been led into a desolate and darkened valley where there is no greenery, water or light. It is the assured death in the darkness. And those self-appointed scholars set out to disclaim it in their sayings and actions to their followers. I say: “Abandon them and follow the bitter heavy Truth, as in it is your salvation. Don’t you see that they have left you as pillage for the wolves?” Are there any sound ones who will save themselves from the certain death in this world and the Hereafter? Be afraid of Allah. Be afraid of the One Who is able to perish the soul and the body together in hell. O you people! Those misguiding scholars have fascinated you and they have made the untruth resemble the Truth." – Imam Ahmed Al Hassan, (From Him is Peace)
¶ The Will
The Greatest Messenger of Allah; Muhammad (PBUH & His Family), on the night of his death, dictated his Holy Will to Imam Ali (From Him is Peace), until he reached the place where he (PBUH & His Family) said:
“...... so those are Twelve Imams. 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: Abdullah, Ahmed, and the third name is Mahdi, and he is the first of the Believers’” - Source: Al-Ghaybah by Al-Toosi page 150
Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him Is Peace) has declared that Abdullah Hashem (From Him is Peace), is the second Mahdi,, and that he is "Abdullah" mentioned in the Holy Will of Prophet Mohammed (PBUH & His Family).
The followers of the cursed office of Najaf say to us: "How can Abdullah Hashem be "Abdullah" mentioned in the will of the Messenger of Allah Mohammed sawas? The three names mentioned in the will belong only to the first Mahdi; Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace) ".
God willing, we will now clarify and prove that the three names mentioned in the will (Ahmed, Abdullah, and Mahdi) belong to three different characters (and they are the first Mahdi Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him Is Peace), the second Mahdi Abdullah Hashem, Aba Al-Sadiq (From Him is Peace), and the third Mahdi, is Mahdi).
Firstly:
(Which is a point that all the true Ansar, as well as those who claim to be Ansar of Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan agree on, so this point is a reminder):
No one can be the first to claim that he is the name mentioned in the Holy Will, except for the rightful claimant. And if you say the opposite of that, then you would be accusing Allah SWT that He unjustly misguides the people of the world (far away is He SWT from that).
The Will of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH & His Family) was written in the last days of his life, and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH & His Family) described his will as being a "protection from misguidance" for whoever holds tight to it. And this is mentioned in the most authentic books of the Sunnis as well the most authentic books of the Shias.
The fact that the Prophet (PBUH & His Family) describes this Will as being "protection from misguidance" means that it is IMPOSSIBLE that anyone can claim this Holy Will except for its rightful owner. The Messenger of Allah(PBUH & His Family) does not speak of his own desire, rather it is an inspiration inspired to him by God SWT [as mentioned in the Holy Qur'an].
And whoever says that a false claimant can be the first to claim that he is the one mentioned in the Will, then that would be an accusation to God SWT that He has misguided the people who have held tight to the Will which His Prophet (PBUH & His Family) described as a protection from misguidance for whoever holds tight to it! And far away is God SWT from that.
So Allah SWT must protect and safeguard this Holy Will until the aim from it is fulfilled. Rather He SWT says in the Holy Qur'an: {And if he had invented false sayings concerning us (in Our name) * We would have seized him by the right hand * Then certainly We would have cut off his life artery} [Holy Qur'an 69:44-46]
So Allah SWT is promising that if someone claims falsely in His name, He swt would cut his life off and He swt would cut his life off before even he makes his claim public (if it was false claim) as mentioned by Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace) and Ahlul-Bayt (PBUT). But there had been many many times where false people have claimed that they are messengers from God orp prophets of God or that they are the Mahdi or or or, and their life was not cut off by God.
So what does Allah swt mean by the Holy verse mentioned above? He swt means that He would cut off the life of the ones who would falsely claim something which He swt had promised to be a protection from misguidance, which He swt have guaranteed as a proof upon the people, like the Will of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH & His Family), He swt would cut their life off (meaning take their life, make them die) before they even make their claim public, because God swt had promised that holding tight to this Will is a protection from misguidance so He would not let anyone claim it falsely.
So anyone can falsely claim to be the Mahdi, and it happened several times in the past. But no one EVER claimed to be "Ahmed" mentioned in the Holy Will of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH & His Family) which is described by him (PBUH & His Family) to be a protection from misguidance, except for Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him Is Peace) who was the first to ever claim that.
And as such, no one ever claimed to be "Abdullah" mentioned in the Holy Will of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH & His Family) except for Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq (From Him Is Peace) by the command of Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace), the leader of the Blessed Black Banners of the East.
Imam Al-Sadiq (From Him is Peace) said:
"Indeed no one can ever claim this matter except for its rightful owner, or else Allah will cut his life off (making him die)" . Source: Al-Kafi by al-Kulayni, volume 1, page 372.
https://thaqalayn.net/kafi1:961
Therefore, it is impossible, according to the Holy Qur'an and according to the Hadiths of Ahul Bayt (From Them is Peace), that anyone can be the first to claim a divine text (like the Holy Will of Prophet Mohammed (PBUH & His Family) which is described to be a protection from misguidance for whoever holds tight to it), except for its rightful owner.
And therefore, Imam Ahmed A-lHassan (From Him Is Peace) is indeed Ahmed who is mentioned in the Holy Will, and indeed Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq (From Him Is Peace) is Abdullah who is mentioned in the Holy Will.
This brings us to the second point: Where is Abdullah Hashem (From Him Is Peace) in the Holy Will?
The Greatest Messenger of Allah, Mohammed (PBUH & His Family), on the night of his death, dictated his Holy Will to Imam Ali (From Him is Peace), until he reached the place where he (PBUH & His Family) said:
“...... so those are Twelve Imams. 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: Abdullah, Ahmed, and the third name is Mahdi, and he is the first of the Believers’” Source: Al-Ghaybah by al-Toosi page 150
The deniers have objected against us saying:
"The three names belong to the first Mahdi Ahmed Al-Hassan, and the proof for that is that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH & His Family) said ("then let him hand it over to his "son"), and ("and he is the first of the believers"), so how do you say that Abdullah Hashem is Abdullah mentioned in the Will even though the Prophet (PBUH & His Family) is talking in the singular form, not in plural!" - End of the deniers' words.
Now those deniers are just as the Twelver Shia who objected against Imam Ahmed al-Hassan, when he used the following narrations as a proof for himself:
The Commander of the Believers Imam Ali (From Him is Peace) said: A man from my sons will emerge in the end times....[until he said]...he has two names, one name will be hidden, and one name will be announced. As for the hidden name it is Ahmed, and as for the announced name it is Muhammad...” - Kamul Din wa Tamamul N'ima - by Sheikh al-Suduq- page 653
And the narration of Imam Al-Baqir (From Him is Peace), when he said:
“The Qaim has two names, one name will be hidden, and one name will be announced. As for the hidden name it is Ahmed, and as for the announced name it is Mohammed…” Kamul Din wa Tamamul N'ima - by Sheikh al-Suduq- Volume 2 - Page 653, door 57 Hadith 17.
And Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace) had argued against the Twelver Shia saying that he is "Ahmed" mentioned in the above two narrations.
The Twelver Shia objected against Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace) saying that Imam Ali (From Him is Peace) said "a man from my sons" not "two men from my sons", and that Imam Al-Baqir (From Him is Peace) said: "The Qaim has two names..", not "the two Qaims", nor "the Qaims"! So the point they were trying to make is that the word "a man", and "the Qaim" is singular, not plural, so it is only referring to one singular man (Imam Mahdi PBUH), and not to Imam Mahdi PBUH and Ahmed Al-Hassan! (That's their argument against Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan.)
Isn't this the very same argument that some of the self-proclaimed "Ansar" of Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan today are using against Aba Al-Sadiq Abdullah Hashem (From Him Is Peace) when he argued against them by the fact that he is Abdullah who is mentioned in the Holy Will of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH & His Family) which protects from misguidance?
So how have so-called "Ansar" of Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace) responded to the Twelver Shia when they objected against him using the above argument?
The Imam and the "Ansar" have responded by saying that the words of the Infallible Imams are interpreted upon 70 faces (have 70 meanings), as Imam Al-Sadiq (From Him is Peace) said, and it depends on whether there are believers who would be able to handle their words or not, and that the Infallibles use the allegorical speech in order to safeguard and protect the matter until its time arrives and until the people who can handle it arrive, and that the sentence: "the Qaim has two names", means that the Qaim has two characters; so "one name will be announced' means one character will be announced, and he is Mohammed ibn Al-Hassan Al-Askari (PBUH & His Family), and "and one name will be hidden", means one character will be hidden until he appears with the Holy Will which protects from misguidance and uses it as a proof upon the people, and that this hidden character is Ahmed mentioned in the Holy Will.
So as such is the matter of the Will which protects from misguidance; "three names" means "three characters"; Ahmed, Abdullah, and Mahdi (peace be upon them all). Ahmed is the first Mahdi. Abdullah is the second Mahdi. Mahdi is the third Mahdi, and the third Mahdi is the first of the believers in this round just as he was the first of the believers in his round as Moses: {Moses said, "Exalted are You! I have repented to You, And I am the first of the believers."} [Holy Qur'an 7:143]
So "he has two names" in the narrations which Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace) and all the Ansar have argued by it against Twelver Shia (which all the Ansar agree that it means "two characters"), is the same as "he has three names" which is mentioned in the Holy Will, which also means "three characters".
So whoever rejects this clarification is the same as those who call themselves shia who have refused the clarification of Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace) regarding the narration of "the Qaim has two names" and just took the apparent of the narration.
There you have it, the clarification of where Abdullah Hashem (From Him Is Peace) is in the Holy Will, and all praises due to Allah alone alone alone, even though claiming the will is a proof alone for anyone who is sincerely seeking the truth. If Abdullah (From Him is Peace) was not truthful Allah SWT would have cut his life off before he even made his claim public.
Additional Points:
1. Besides all what we mentioned above, even though the three names in the Holy Will (Ahmed, Abdullah, and Mahdi) surely refer to three different characters, it is still ok that the Prophet (PBUH & His Family) attributed all of them to the First Mahdi for all the Imams and the Mahdis are one light, and all those who ponder over the Hadiths of the Family of Mohammed (From Them is Peace) will find that they would many times attribute to themselves the actions of each other, and you find Imam Ali saying, "I will build a platform in Egypt [until he said]...a man from me will do it", and you find Imam Ali (From Him is Peace) saying, "I am Mohammed and Mohammed is me", and much much more. Indeed, their speech has several meanings, and several interpretations. Aba Abdillah Imam Ja'far Al-Sadiq (From Him is Peace) said: "Verily, the one word from our speech is interpreted upon seventy meanings, and we have an exit from each of the meanings" [Bihar alAnwar, v2, p184*]. So the fact that it is correct that the three names be attributed by the Prophet (PBUH & His Family) to Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace), does not deny the absolute fact that the three names are also referring to three different characters, as it has been clarified above, because their (From Them is Peace) speech is interpreted upon so many meanings, and one factor is the presence of the people who can handle it.
*Ibn Masrour, from Ibn Aamir, from his uncle, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Ibrahim Al Karkhy, ‘From Abu Abdullah (From Him Is Peace) having said: ‘A Hadeeth you know is better than a thousand you report, and the man from you will not become an understanding one until he understands the indirect of our speech, and that the word from our- (From Them is Peace) word is utilised upon seventy aspects. From the entirety of these (aspects), there is an exit for us’’. - Bihar Al-Anwaar – V 2, The book of intellect, and the knowledge, and the ignorance, S 2 Chapter 26 Hadith 5.
2. The Samiri office of Najaf (which is led by people who were among the "Bitana" and "Walijah" of Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him Is Peace), and whom have fallen as the Hadiths clearly mention), have been telling their followers that the Holy Will became useless after Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him Is Peace) claimed it. And surely they have been teaching that to their Ansar so they make them fail to give victory to the Mahdis and fight them.
So we say: O cursed Samiri, so what do you say about the fact that Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace) has used the following Holy verse as a proof: {And when Jesus, the son of Mary, said, "O children of Israel, indeed I am the messenger of Allah to you confirming what came before me of the Torah and bringing good tidings of a Messenger to come after me, whose name is Ahmed." But when he came to them with clear evidences, they said, "This is obvious magic."} [Holy Qur'an 61:6]
It has been mentioned many many times from the Ahlul-Bayt (From Them Is Peace) that "Ahmed" mentioned in the above verse is the Messenger of Allah Mohammed (PBUH & His Family). But also in "Sharh Usul al-Kafi" which is a trusted book by the Shia, it has been mentioned that there is a Prophet and an Imam both named Ahmed, one would be born in Makkah and the other in Iraq and that the holy verse was talking about them both at the same time. And we know that Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him Is Peace) has used this verse to be talking about him (Ahmed Al-Hassan). So O cursed Samiri do you now deny the argument of Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him Is Peace)?
Obviously "Ahmed" who is mentioned in the very same verse, refers to Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him Is Peace), and also to the Messenger of Allah Mohammed (PBUH & His Family). And obviously Prophet Mohammed (PBUH & His Family) had claimed that he was "Ahmed" mentioned in the divine text of the Christians, but that did not make the divine text useless after that, for later on came Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him Is Peace) and claimed that he is "Ahmed" mentioned in the divine text of the Christians.
Even Harmala the cursed; Tawfik al-Maghribi (may Allah curse him), has said in his commentary of the book the 13th disciple that which means that the prophecy or the divine text which mentions a divine messenger or character can mention a singular name or a description of a singular character but in fact it is referring to several characters, some in the near future and some in the later future (meaning in the short run the text would apply on certain character, and in the long run it would apply on another character, etc). And he (may Allah curse him) mentioned how there is a text in the bible which - in the near future - it applied on the wife of Isaiah , but in the later future it applied on Virgin Mary (PBUH), and that there is a text in the bible that applied on Hezekiah on the short run, but it applied to Christ in the long run, etc.
So clearly, again, Tawfik may Allah curse him, is admitting that the divine text has several meanings and can be applied to several characters even if the apparent of the text is talking about a "singular" character. So we ask the cursed Harmala and the cursed Samiris of the office of Najaf, have you forgotten? Or you pretend to have forgotten what you have written with your hands when it became a Proof upon you!!
And we are not even saying that Aba Al-Sadiq Abdullah Hashem (From Him Is Peace) is the Holy Mawla Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him Is Peace), rather what we are saying is that Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq (From Him Is Peace) is the second Mahdi (the Successor of the first Mahdi Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him Is Peace)) and that he is "Abdullah" who is mentioned in the Holy Will of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH & His Family) which protects from misguidance, and that he today is using the Holy Will as a proof upon the people, and he is saying to you just as you all agree that when Imam Al-Baqir (From Him is Peace) said "the Qaim has two names" it means "two characters; Imam Mahdi and Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan", Likewise "he has three names" mentioned in the Holy Will means "three characters; Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him Is Peace) (the 1st Mahdi), Abdullah Hashem (From Him Is Peace) (the 2nd Mahdi) (From Him Is Peace), and Mahdi the first of the believers Moses (PBUH) in his return (the 3rd Mahdi), (From Him Is Peace)."
¶ Changing the Banner
In one of the articles, we mention the Banner of the Mahdi and we proved numerous narrations to prove that the banner of the Ahlul Bayt is black and has the words ‘Allegiance is to Allah’ written on it. And in June 2015, Aba Al Sadiq (From Him Is Peace) raised the black banner. But what did the Office do? They raised a black banner, but what was written on it?
After we raised the Black Banners, they raised a banner, which has on it, ‘سرايا القائم’ ‘Saraya al-Qaim’ which means ‘Riser Brigades’.
The Imposter Imam raised a banner with the words "Saraya Al-Qaim" "the brigade/battalion of the Qaim" to recruit the Ansar for the illegally proclaimed jihad in cooperation with the Iraqi Army against Isis.
Dear brothers and sisters, do you see according any narration that "Saraya el Qaim will be written in it the Black Banner?" By Allah "Riser Brigades" has nothing do with Seyyid Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him Is Peace), it's a trick and founded by the Office!
So we want to ask to the Office and its supporters, if 10,313 men are the first of Mahdi's (PBUH & His Family) army, then to whom does your army “Saraya Qaim” belong to?
Why did the Office raise a Black Banner, while claiming not to believe in the silent absence?
A question to the Ansar: Does the Black Banner get raised before the silent absence of the Yamani (From Him is Peace)? The Office claims that he (From Him is Peace) has never gone into silent absence! Yet they raised the Black Banner (the fake one of the "riser brigades"). Because it is known, that the Black Banner is the banner of the rise and of the Faraj (relief), and the Black Banner cannot be raised before the silent absence of the fifth from the seventh of the Prophet's (PBUH & His Family) sons or Imam Ali's (From Him Is Peace)sons, as the narrations testify. So how come they raised the Black Banner now, while denying that he (From Him Is Peace) entered into a silent Absence?!
From where did the Office bring this banner, which has “The Riser Brigades” on it?
The Commander of the Believers (From Him Is Peace) described the banner of the Qaim that it is stamped with the stamp of the Greater Master (PBUH & His Family). And you find in the Dua of Al-Nuba that the Greater Master is the Messenger of Allah (PBUH & His Family), and the stamp of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH & His Family) on his banner was (Allegiance is to Allah/ Ownership or Kingship is to Allah/ Supremacy or Rulership is to Allah).
Meaning, the banner of the Qaim (From Him Is Peace) is stamped with one of these stamps: Allegiance is to Allah/Ownership or Kingship is to Allah/Supremacy or Rulership is to Allah. Because his banner originally is the banner of his grandfather the Messenger of Allah (PBUH & His Family).
So from where did you bring this banner which has on it “The Riser Brigades”? Except if you mean another Riser (Qaim) different from the Qaim of the Family of Muhammad (PBUH & His Family)?
Furthermore the Office never explicitly introduced their Black Banner as the promised Black Banner of the end times mentioned in the hadiths - rather they only introduced it as the banner of jihad. But the real Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him Is Peace) raised his Black Banner as the promised Black Banner, saying that the relief of Ale Muhammed (From Them Is Peace) and for the Ansar is near.
¶ Brigade means a subdivision of another army
Ali from his father from Al-Nawfali from Al-Sakuni from Abu ‘Abdallah (PBUH) who has said the following.
"The Holy Prophet has said, Al-Fuqaha, the scholars of the Fiqh, Islamic laws are the trustees of the prophets until they are not involved in the worldly matters." People asked, "What is their entering in the worldly matters, O the holy Prophet of Allah?" "Their following the kings is entering in the worldly matters. When they follow the kings then you must be very careful in involving them in your religion." Replied the holy Prophet (PBUH & His Family). – Al Kafi, H 118, Ch. 14, h 5
So what are the representatives of the office doing other than following the Kings (Iraqi government aka Bani Abbas) by seeking cooperation with them, begging for weapons, training and a seat within the administration of their governorate? Taking roll call and census, providing the oppressors with the private information of the Ansars, raising a banner as the "riser brigade" when the definition of a brigade is a subdivision of an army, typically consisting of a small number of infantry battalions and/or other units and often forming part of a division. So they've placed the banner which supposedly represents the Supremacy of Allah while simultaneously symbolizing the destruction of the Supremacy of people, under the Banner of the Iraqi government as a subdivision of their Army, when the Iraqi government is the embodiment of Democracy and the "Supremacy of people"!
