The truth about Abdullah Hashem.

Fatima El-Zein

In the name of Allah, the most merciful, & the especially merciful.

The short video transcript critiques Abdullah Hashem, a self-proclaimed religious leader, by systematically debunking his claims. Here are the key points:

1. Abdullah’s Grandiose Claims

  • Declares himself the successor of:

    • Imam Mahdi (Islamic eschatological figure)

    • "The Comforter Ahmed" (ambiguous title, possibly referencing Ahmad al-Hasan, another claimant)

    • Simon Peter (Christian apostle)

    • Prophet Muhammad

    • Jesus Christ

  • Calls himself the "true and legitimate Pope" (despite Islam lacking a papal hierarchy) and "proof upon the Christians."

2. Counterarguments Against His Legitimacy

  • False Mahdi Claim: The Prophet Muhammad stated the Mahdi would be from the progeny of Fatima (his daughter). Abdullah follows Ahmad al-Hasan, an Iraqi civil engineer with no verified lineage to the Prophet.

  • No Recognition: No Islamic scholars or Christian churches endorse him.

  • Rejects Core Islamic Practices: His "Ahmadi religion of peace and light" denies prayer, fasting, zakat (charity), and hajj—fundamental pillars of Islam, rendering his teachings heretical.

  • Criminal Record: A 2011 U.S. court convicted him of fraud, extortion, and racketeering.

3. Conclusion: Cult Leader, Not a Guide

  • The speaker dismisses Abdullah as a "cult leader with a God complex" who:

    • Rewrites the Quran.

    • Fabricates titles.

    • Preys on vulnerable individuals seeking a "savior."

Tone & Purpose

The video aims to:

  • Expose Abdullah as a fraudulent figure lacking theological or institutional backing.

  • Warn viewers about exploitative cult leaders masquerading as messianic figures.

  • Emphasize adherence to orthodox Islamic tenets (e.g., prayer, Quranic integrity) to identify deviations.

Key Takeaway: Abdullah’s claims are theatrics, not theology—a blend of delusion and deceit.


الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي هَدَانَا لِهٰذَا

All praise be to Allah Who has guided us to this.

وَمَا كُنَّا لِنَهْتَدِيَ لَوْلاَ أَنْ هَدَانَا ٱللَّهُ

We could not truly have been led aright if Allah had not guided us.

-Du' al-Iftitah was taught by the Imam Mahdi (may Allah hasten his appearance)
