As it was orated in the Holy Qur\u2019an centuries ago, those making claims should \u201cbring proof if they are truthful\u201d – hatu burhanakum ‘iin kuntum sadiqin<\/i> (\u0647\u064e\u0627\u062a\u064f\u0648\u0627 \u0628\u064f\u0631\u0652\u0647\u064e\u0627\u0646\u064e\u0643\u064f\u0645\u0652 \u0625\u0650\u0646\u0652 \u0643\u064f\u0646\u0652\u062a\u064f\u0645\u0652 \u0635\u064e\u0627\u062f\u0650\u0642\u0650\u064a\u0646\u064e). Why? Because Al-Islam does not call us to abandon <\/i>reason, it calls us to follow it. The great `Arif <\/i>Bahya ibn Yosef said so many centuries ago: \u201cMake reason your `am\u012br, understanding your wazir<\/i>,\u201d your vizier; \u201cmake `ilm<\/i>,\u201d or science \u201cyour Hadi<\/i>\u201d your Guide, \u201cand make zuhud,\u201d <\/i>detachment from the material illusion of the dunya <\/i>your Wali,\u201d <\/i>your Guardian and Friend.<\/p>\n

This is what the Ahl al-Bayt of Muhammad\u2019s Holy family taught as well. Imam `Ali Riza said that\u00a0\u201cThe greatest of miracles of Allah is the human MIND. It allows ideas to be thought through and reasoned<\/i> out. Islam appeals to human Reason <\/i>(Al-`Aql<\/i>). Man must accept Allah through REASON and not through miracles.\u201d<\/p>\n

And yet Muhammad did not claim that he had no signs which served as proofs of his fitness for leadership. Rather, he explained that he was \u201cnothing but a Messenger\u201d (3:144) and that he himself was not central to Islam, which \u201cmany\u201d had embraced before him (22:78; 28:53 et al.).<\/p>\n

Muhammad was mentioned only four times in the entire Qur’an (3:144; 33:40; 47:2; 48:29), while Moses was mentioned 136 times and Abraham 62 times! Because he did not esteem himself first, and because of his humility and deference to those before him, for these reasons he was praiseworthy.<\/p>\n

The Qur\u2019an tells us this over and over that Al-Islam was the Primordial, Fitrah <\/i>path of ALL nations – a Covenant given to all of the Children of Noah.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe same religious judgment has Hu established for you the same as that which Hu enjoined on Noah –\u00a0 <\/span>which We have sent by inspiration to you – and that which We enjoined on Abraham, Moses, and `Isa: Namely, that you should remain steadfast in religious judgment, and make no divisions therein. For those who worship other than Allah, the [path] which you call them to is very hard difficult. Allah chooses to Hu those whom Hu pleases, and guides to Hu those who turn [towards Allah] (yahdi<\/i>, \u064a\u064e\u0647\u0652\u062f\u0650\u064a).\u201d (42:13)<\/b><\/p>\n

Furthermore, the Qur\u2019an says that prophets and their followers before them were Muslimin (2:128; 2:132; 3:52 et al.), and that the Qur\u2019an \u201cmakes no distinction between\u201d any of the prophets (2:136).<\/p>\n

Those people had never heard of Muhammad. Their Islam was still just as valid as that of those who learned of Islam from Muhammad. The Fitrah Islam of the birds of the sky and the fishes of the sea is just as valid even though they have never heard of Muhammad and are not even in need of a call to the Primordial Path of Islam.<\/p>\n

Why do we need this call to the nations? Because the human species is misaligned. The Fara\u2019id<\/em> of Islam for the nations is essential as training tools to align us – to re<\/i>align our species – with our inherent Nature, our Fitrah which we have been estranged from.<\/p>\n

With Muhammad, this message was delivered to all of the nations and thus the role of prophethood was fulfilled and completed. There would never again be a need for a prophet after that. Prophethood had ceased with the Bani Israel because there was no more need for the message of the Covenant with the Bani Israel to be restated after it had been delivered. With `Isa we see a call to the Lost Tribes of the Bani Israel, scattered throughout the world. With Muhammad we see a call to all of the nations of the world – who were not Bani Israel but still Children of Noah – to follow these primordial laws as a minimum <\/i>of Al-Islam (42:13) which is still not yet necessarily the fullness of Iman (49:14).<\/p>\n

Thus, we see that the `Arab <\/i>said that they were mu\u2019minin <\/i>but Iman had not yet entered their hearts, so thus they were admonished to say that they are merely Muslimin. They were Muslimin because they heeded the call to the Children of Noah delivered by Muhammad. Still, Pure Iman – as Shaykh Bawa Muhaiyaddeen called it – was not a requirement. All that was required is that they submit <\/i>to these minimum laws of the Bani Nuh<\/em>. From there, their degree of Iman could increase them towards Istislam – <\/i>Pure Iman or Surrender to the entire Will of the Creator.<\/p>\n

But that is neither here nor there, and yet it is both here and there. That is because what we must return to and focus upon here, without allowing the matter to be derailed, is that there is no need for a prophet to come now. The message has been delivered. If Muhammad was \u201cbut a messenger\u201d (3:144) then once the message was delivered, why would another messenger need to come and deliver the same message?<\/p>\n

No! Instead, what should come is one who will call people to pay attention to the details, nuance and implications taught in the Message that was already delivered. Those who come with a message that is meant to supplant or abrogate are not Messengers but Dajajilah. <\/i>This was not what Muhammad came doing and that is why he said clearly to the Sefer Torah <\/i>itself – the Torah scroll that he sat on a cushion with the reverence shown it by the Jewish people today even (dressing it in special coverings, changing them out for white coverings for the historical fast of `Ashurah<\/em> and so on), and said \u201cI believe in you <\/i>and [Allah] who sent you!\u201d<\/p>\n

Could you imagine this reverence? This is why the Ahl al-Bayt taught that the Imam al-Qa\u2019im will judge the Children of Israel not by the Qur\u2019an but by the Torah itself.[1] Why? Because this was the Covenant given to the Children of Israel and the Qur\u2019an is the Message delivered to all of the Nations of the world – to align and reunite various sectarian divisions within the Bani Israel and return them all to the existing Covenant of the Torah, and to call all of the nations of the Children of Noah to the UNIVERSAL PATH of Al-Islam (42:13).<\/p>\n

This man who said \u201cI am but a messenger\u201d (7:158) who said that he came bringing \u201cnothing new\u201d (46:9) but a Path that is ANCIENT and PRIMORDIAL, came without any miracles but said instead that the ideal of ayat <\/i>should be thought of as signs <\/i>not supernatural performances which could be easily replicated by any good illusionist. Indeed, we know from multiply-attested ahadith <\/i>that Al-Masih ad-Dajjal <\/i>himself will be capable of performing such feats and yet this tells us NOTHING of the truthfulness of his message or his claims of Divine appointment by the Creator, now does it?<\/p>\n

Instead, Muhammad spoke signs being the verses of the Qur\u2019an itself: SELF EVIDENT PROOFS in the words and reasoning within the Qur\u2019anic oration.<\/p>\n

Instead of saying \u201cjust follow anything I say,\u201d Muhammad told his followers to \u201cSeek out `Ilm – Knowledge and Science – even unto China\u201d (\u0637\u0644\u0628\u0648\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0644\u0645 \u0648\u0644\u0648 \u0628\u0627\u0644\u0635\u06cc\u0646)![2]<\/p>\n

Imam `Ali is often depicted in Mutashay`i <\/i>circles as having a Broadsword or \u201cDao<\/i>\u201d with one edge and no piercing qualities. Yet this is the simplest of weapons to master, with the spear of `Isa (Qiang<\/i>) being the most challenging. Indeed, in the historical depictions of the man behind the `Isa narrative in India, he is shown every time with a spear. Somewhere in between the Dao<\/i> and the Qiang<\/i>, one might master the Jian straight-sword – \u201cendowed with piercing qualities\u201d like Zhul-Fiqar. <\/i>But who would know this but a martial master of such weapons who sought out knowledge even unto China themselves?<\/p>\n

Whether the Muslim systems of Xingyiquan<\/em> or the Muslim system of Cha Quan<\/em>, or any other Chinese martial art or those which descended from this \u201cGrandfather of all Martial Arts\u201d as it is called in Asia, a true general leading a modern day \u201cArmy of Siffin\u201d in the VANGUARD of the Mahdi – the Tali`yah al-Mahdi<\/em> – will have headed these words and trained accordingly.<\/p>\n

Such a person will be well versed and trained in the mystical arts of Nei Kung and Qi Kung practiced by the Ahl al-Bayt and taught by such masterful disciples as Harun al-Makki who could demonstrate heat-absorption Qi Kung and what we call \u201cIron Shirt\u201d practices.[3] These were not \u201cmiracles\u201d they were \u201csigns\u201d of mastery.<\/p>\n

When Muhammad was challenged by a prominent wrestler to a friendly bout – not even a disrespectful challenge to the death, but a challenge amongst martial artists – to see who was truly fit to lead such an Army as the Jaysh of Badr, then Muhammad did not shirk away from such a challenge, he eagerly stepped up and submitted this well-known grappler.[4]<\/p>\n

Thus, Muhammad taught after the match: “The strong-man is not one who wrestles well but the strong man is one who controls himself when he is filled with ghadhab<\/i> (rage)”<\/b>[5]<\/p>\n

He did not teach that one should not feel rage, but that the rage should be a source of fuel for them, rather than being what controls them. This is called Stepping Outside of Emotions.<\/p>\n

Today I issued a formal challenge to two leaders of Cults of Personality. Both of them were well-known as people who came to the Taliyah al-Mahdi for knowledge. They came to us decades ago seeking our batini <\/i>lessons of the Kitab as-Sirat al-Kamal – <\/i>a book with 72 lessons within it – each given one at at time, with most never advancing beyond the Level of Dawud. These are lessons for personal refinement and evolution. They include linguistic study, history, world scriptures, martial arts and meditation. They are nothing but tools for self-edification and are not \u201cspecial\u201d unto themselves. They are merely a system of instruction to edify those who wish to learn.<\/p>\n

Instead of humbling learning as students, two dajjalayn <\/i>– Ahmed al-Hassan (and those impersonating him since his death, years ago) and a related dajjal <\/i>`Abdullah Hashem – stole <\/i>some of the lower-level lessons of our Tariqah <\/i>and presented them as their own. Since they had no true knowledge and followed only conjecture – as those admonished by the Qur\u2019an – they simply invented stories from their own imagination to \u201cfill in the blanks\u201d which would have been filled in for them had they continued learning the lessons of the Sirat al-Kamal <\/i>as humble students, rather than aspiring cult leaders seeking glory for themselves, and concocting new religions wherein they feature as the central figures, rather than deflecting glory and attention to themselves as Muhammad did.<\/p>\n

Indeed, when the Taliyah al-Mahdi rose to its largest, most prominent public level, the glory that was being hoisted upon the leadership of the group caused us to take the organization underground and merely work with the closest, most proven, tried-and-true members – teaching them martial arts and meditation, while growing closer than ever as a true family. We were unconcerned by numbers. At most, we anticipate 313 soldiers. If we do not reach that number in this lifetime, it is of no concern to us. We trust in Allah and have faith that our mere presence engaging in this work will lay the foundation for the generation which attains to this number of soldiers. That is why we are called the Vanguard <\/i>of the Mahdi, and do not assume to say we are necessarily each in this lifetime the Jaysh al-Mahdi who will rise. Perhaps we are, perhaps that is a generation to come. Time will tell. In the meantime, our training, our actions, our study, our teachings, and our faith will not waiver. Yet at no time will we accept glory to our leadership.<\/p>\n

Our leadership is martial in nature. We bow in respect to one another as martial artists. We bow to our Shifu because any Shifu who has engaged in the Kung <\/i>(exercises and training) over prolonged Fu <\/i>(time) can demonstrate mastery <\/i>or Kungfu<\/i>. If one has good Kungfu <\/i>in culinary arts, in fine arts, in the Tao of Yin and Yang called \u201csexual Kung fu\u201d or in the Martial Arts by which call this general name colloquially, then they should be able to demonstrate these skills.<\/p>\n

No, this does not mean the \u201ctests\u201d of the Dajjal Abdullah Hashem who engages in forced acts of homosexuality with men who have broken free of his cult. Indeed, Muhammad tells us that there are two types of Mukhannathayn<\/i>, one who is made effeminate by Allah[6] and one who is not made that way. One made that way Muhammad tells us to leave them alone as that is between themselves and their Creator. Those who were not made that way, however, who engage in homosexuality to dominate and emasculate heterosexual men, these are rapists such as those at Sodom and Gomorrah. These rapists and pedophiles are denounced throughout the world in scriptures, and indeed it is told to us in the Torah and in ahadith<\/i>, that the punishment for such rape is death.<\/p>\n

Any Dajjal who has engaged in such \u201ctests\u201d or raping members of their cults are hereby put on notice. You should thank Allah that we live in a world where a challenge of a fight to the death would not be warmly welcomed by the agencies of law enforcement – who would likely try to put an end to such a bout before it even began. As such, you are merely being called out to a challenge of martial skill.<\/p>\n

If you are who you say you are – leaders of the White Banners of Iraq or the Black Banners of Europe and elsewhere, or any other Cult of Personality organizations for Faraj <\/i>or relief from oppression – then you should have no problem accepting this challenge today from the founder of the Taliyah al-Mahdi: Shifu Seng, Hern-Heng as he is known by his Taoist lineage name in martial arts, known as well by his name in the West: Dr. Micah Ben David Naziri.<\/p>\n

If you will not step up to this challenge then your followers should ask themselves why, as it is purely in line and consistent with the Sunnah of Muhammad when he received such a challenge.<\/p>\n

As well, as the so-called Black Banners were first challenged to livestream a debate with the Taliyah al-Mahdi. They said their leader would accept this challenge only <\/i>if we agreed to the \u201cMutual Cursing\u201d of Mubahalah<\/i> first. <\/i>Shifu Naziri, PhD agreed eagerly to this challenge and said that not only would he accept it, he would accept the curse of Allah upon himself and the people of his <\/i>house if he is lying, but would refuse <\/i>to extend such a familial curse upon the members of the households of these cult leaders – as a mercy to them and to keep far away from the \u201cblackest\u201d magic of sihr <\/i>upon those whose deeds to not warrant such cursing.<\/p>\n

Indeed, the use of the \u201cBlack Banners\u201d is no more than a self-fulfilling prophecy. The cult merely utilized Black Banners because such was stated in Hadith as those of the Imam al-Mahdi. But in the same way, Da`esh does the same thing. Only the weak-minded and easily mislead believe that as some fulfillment of prophecy.<\/p>\n

Why was it foretold that the Imam al-Mahdi would come with black banners? Because Muhammad rode into battle with black banners. Today, warfare is not fought in this way. Successful combat and strategy against colonial powers has been through modes of guerrilla warfare. We do not fight in a field with one side waving one banner, and the other side waving another. Literal banners today would give away one\u2019s position, or even membership in an otherwise underground group. No! Such visions of the future are never cast in the images of literalism and physicality. One need look no further than the visions of the prophets Daniel and Ezekiel to understand that. Instead, the symbolism of Black Banners being raised with Imam al-Mahdi means that he will come calling people anew to the message of Islam, as taught by Muhammad in his lifetime. Black banners is merely a symbolic reference to this. Clearly any charlatan could just utilize banners that are black and claim this to be a fulfillment of prophecy.<\/p>\n

The Taliyah al-Mahdi issues three challenges to `Abdullah Hashem – they are extended to Ahmad al-Hassan as well, were he still alive:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Mubahalah<\/li>\n
  2. Martial bout (with a promise they will not be intentionally maimed or killed, though signing a traditional “Death Waiver” for liability will be required)<\/li>\n
  3. Intellectual debate<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If these\u00a0dajjalayn<\/em> will not engage in these when it is Sunnah to do so – Sunnah of both Muhammad and the Ahl al-Bayt alike – then this speaks volumes.<\/p>\n

    First, it tells us that Ahmad al-Hassan is long-dead. He will not step up to these challenges, nor even respond in video to them. The reason is simply because we have received confirmation that he has not only passed from this world, but that his so-called “four representatives” or\u00a0sufara<\/em>, have been lying to the world;\u00a0 pretending he is still alive; issuing statements in his name which they wrote; and collecting donations in his name, with which they live extravagantly. They are liars and con-artists and they have deceived thousands of sincere true-believers throughout the world.<\/p>\n

    Second, this tells us that `Abdullah Hashem has been in on this con, and when he was not “cut in” by the imposter\u00a0sufara<\/em>, he created his own spin-off cult, knowing that Ahmad al-Hassan had been long-dead and could not dispute or refute his claims that he had been appointed the successor to this dead Mahdi-claimant.<\/p>\n

    Certainly you members of these groups who have been mislead because you hope so dearly for the Rise… certainly you know better than this in your Innermost Hearts – in your Heart of Hearts. Now you see that your leader will not<\/em> accept this challenge. Neither of them will step up for friendly martial combat – Ahmad will not because he is dead. `Abdullah will not, even knowing he will neither be maimed nor killed, as a mercy being extended to him and as a gesture of civility. He will not step up because while he claims to be a prophesied martial leader, he knows he cannot win in such a challenge. He will not step up and engage in Mubahalah, even though there is no risk to his loved ones, as we do not wish to curse those who have no guilt but familial association with this Dajjal.<\/p>\n

    You must now ask yourself why that is? Why won\u2019t they step up to this challenge?<\/p>\n

    The answer is clear: Verily, Truth is manifest from falsehood, and indeed, Truth has come and bashed the brains out of falsehood. For verily falsehood is a thing which by nature must vanish.<\/p>\n
