In this conversation I delve into the controversial figure of Abdullah Hashem, exploring his claims of being a messianic figure and the implications of his teachings.

I encourage listeners to critically examine these claims and remain steadfast in their faith.

How's it going folks? Welcome back. There has been a video circulating web, YouTube, everywhere. And it's about this individual by the name of Abdullah Hashim. So I'm going to shed some light on this person, who he is, his background, and who he's claiming to be. some are saying the anti-Christ, some are saying
false prophet and some are saying deception. So we're going to get into this a little bit and I ask that draw your own conclusions, that you work out with fear and trembling and read the scripture. This, this might be a warning to start diving into scripture seriously and just not cherry picking. This just might be that warning and it might be
a sign that we are deeper into the end times. But let's get into it. I'm going to introduce this person and then we'll actually play a video shows him making these claims and saying all these crazy things. So Abdullah Hashim, also known as
Abba al-Sadiq or founder of the Ahmadi religion of peace and light. And this is also known simply as the Ahmadi religion. And it's a post-Islamic new religious movement derived
from the 12er branch of Shia Islam. It's considered to be one of the emerging apocalyptic or doomsday movements from the Middle East. So this guy's dad is Egyptian, his mom is American, he was born in 1983. The Mahadeed, unquote, in Islam,
means a divinely guided leader who will appear at the end of times to bring justice, and true Islam to the world before the day of judgment. He is expected to fight evil, defeat oppressive forces, and unite the Muslim community.
The Mahadid will rule for seven to nine years and will establish a kingdom of peace and justice. His appearance is often linked to the second coming of Jesus, according to Islamic religion. And most recently, he made some pretty outrageous claims, which we'll get into soon. But this guy is educated and articulate.
Hashim would go on to produce a number of documentaries that explore the Dahal or also known as the Antichrist. And in Islam, this is a figure feared as the great deceiver of the end times. Notice the parallels.
I believe this is an actual quote from one of Hashim's documentaries. And it states, the deception is not in what he does, but in what we accept. The falsehood is dressed in light and the world bows to it.
So, whether this guy is claiming to be the savior of the or not, this quote is in one of his documentaries and he's almost making it seem like he's talking about himself. And this will all make sense once I play the video.
his tone is not of a preacher, but of a warner, a man awakened to a cosmic responsibility. But who is Al-Mahdi? And why do some believe Hashim could be him?
I want to play this video for you guys real quick. ⁓ This is a shortened clip. The longer version show him making a reference to Moses and how ⁓ Moses explained how you could tell that a prophet was sent from God. So that's in the longer version but this is the shorter version and here it goes.
I the true and legitimate pope. am the proof upon the Christians. am the son of the Muslims through my father and the son of the Christians and the Jews through my mother. I am the son of the East through my father and the son of the West through my mother.
like Zulkarnain with one horn in the east and one in the west and I am the inheritor of all that lies between. I am more knowledgeable than any false pope and I am appointed by name and the will of the prophets. My name is also on the tongue of Isaiah who've prophesied of the righteous servant and he said he will see his offspring and prolong his days and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand.
According to you, Jesus had no offspring and his days were cut short. But I am that servant, I am Abdullah, the righteous servant of God.
I am also the righteous servant mentioned by Jesus, alayhi salam, when he said, who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his Lord hath made ruler over his household to give them meat and due season. Blessed is that servant whom his Lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you that he shall make him ruler over all of his goods. And I was made ruler over all his goods.
Now, Christians in the East and the West, hear me and obey. I am a messenger sent to you from Jesus Christ. I said, I'm Paul is false and led you astray. The church is corrupt and no longer upholds the law of God, nor does it defend the oppressed. The papacy has been stolen and the rightful heir has been pushed aside. There is no one else but me that you are obliged to obey. May God be a witness that I have proclaimed.
So Paul is false. He is the successor to Simon Peter, successor to our Lord Jesus Christ. should tell you everything you need to know about this person. Made some pretty outrageous claims and he seems to have a Islamic background. And in Islamic prophecy,
El-Mahdi or as some refer to him, El-Mahdi is a savior like figure who appears at the end of time. He's said to bring peace, unity and true Islam, whatever that means. Correcting the world's course before the day of judgments. According to Hadith, the Mahdi will rule for seven to nine years, defeating tyrants, unmasking deception,
and establishing a kingdom of justice. His reign will be marked by a return to sacred truth and divine law.
Most strikingly, his rise is said to coincide with the second coming of Isa, which is Jesus. Together they will confront and destroy the HAL or the Antichrist. So you guys, this is how Muslims refer to Jesus. They call him Isa. Just wanted to throw that in there.
And this is a ⁓ quote straight out of the Islamic Hadith. And it states, if there remains only one day before the end of the world, Allah will raise up a man from my family who will fill the earth with justice, just as it had been filled with oppression. And said,
by none other than the prophet Muhammad.
And so pointed to Hashim's knowledge of the Daha'l, his global message and his calls for unity and spiritual awakening as signs that he may be more than just a man.
Some are also saying that guy actually part of the lineage of Muhammad.
He's somewhere in there in the genealogy of Muhammad.
So I say all this to say finally that these are clearly warning signs and let me pull some of the warnings from scripture.
But real quick, Hashim's documentaries focus on unmasking the Antichrist, not as a horned figure in fantasy, but as a real cunning system of deception.
This guy draws from both Islamic and Biblical texts to expose the darkness that masquerades as light.
in the Bible we find chilling warnings. 2 Thessalonians 2, 3 to 4.
Children, it is the last hour and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, so now many Antichrists have come. Matthew 24, five, Jesus answered, watch out that no one deceives you for many will come in my name claiming I am the Messiah and will deceive many.
Finally, Matthew 24, 24. For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
Hashim's message, the Antichrist is not coming. He is already here in systems, ideologies, and global powers that call evil good and good evil. Sound familiar?
this Hashim guy said it himself. He's the successor of Simon Peter, of Jesus Christ. And so just as Jesus said, many will come in his name.
And not all accept the idea that Abdullah Hashim is the Mahdi. Some see him merely as a filmmaker, philosopher, or passionate voice against oppression. Others, say he is too modern, too untraditional, ultimately just a man.
among certain circles, his words spark a dangerous kind of fire, a urgency cloaked in spiritual language.
He does not claim the title. does not seek it. in his silence, some imagine a greater voice. his films, some claim to see And in his actions, some whisper the Mahdi among us.
but check it out. Us Christians must not be deceived. Scripture warns of false prophets and the the antichrist. One will appear a man of peace, performing wonders, yet leading astray.
You guys test everything, hold fast to what is true. Christ alone is the way, the truth, and the life. And no other shall take his place.
So let me leave you guys with this. it be that we are in the time of prophecy? the end is not far near? That justice is on the horizon, led by a figure whose very name means father of the truthful?
Is this simply the rise of another voice in a world desperate for a savior? Is this deception? Is he the Antichrist?
All I know is that one thing is certain. Abdullah Hashim or al-Asadik made his mark. And perhaps the signs align, he may make history according to prophecy.
Hold fast to what is true, test everything, in truth, and do not be
I'll see you all in the next one. Bye.
