Such is a False Belief_None of it Will Come True, For They do not Know That Their Hearts are in the Hand of Their Lord…
In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful:
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُونُوا قَوَّامِينَ لِلَّهِ شُهَدَاءَ بِالْقِسْطِ وَلَا يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شَنَآنُ قَوْمٍ عَلَى أَلَّا تَعْدِلُوا اعْدِلُوا هُوَ أَقْرَبُ لِلتَّقْوَى وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَبِيرٌ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ (8) وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ مَغْفِرَةٌ وَأَجْرٌ عَظِيمٌ (9) وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَكَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا أُولَئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْجَحِيمِ (10) يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اذْكُرُوا نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ هَمَّ قَوْمٌ أَنْ يَبْسُطُوا إِلَيْكُمْ أَيْدِيَهُمْ فَكَفَّ أَيْدِيَهُمْ عَنْكُمْ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ (11) وَلَقَدْ أَخَذَ اللَّهُ مِيثَاقَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَبَعَثْنَا مِنْهُمُ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ نَقِيبًا وَقَالَ اللَّهُ إِنِّي مَعَكُمْ لَئِنْ أَقَمْتُمُ الصَّلَاةَ وَآتَيْتُمُ الزَّكَاةَ وَآمَنْتُمْ بِرُسُلِي وَعَزَّرْتُمُوهُمْ وَأَقْرَضْتُمُ اللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا لَأُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنْكُمْ سَيِّئَاتِكُمْ وَلَأُدْخِلَنَّكُمْ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ فَمَنْ كَفَرَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مِنْكُمْ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ سَوَاءَ السَّبِيلِ (12) فَبِمَا نَقْضِهِمْ مِيثَاقَهُمْ لَعَنَّاهُمْ وَجَعَلْنَا قُلُوبَهُمْ قَاسِيَةً يُحَرِّفُونَ الْكَلِمَ عَنْ مَوَاضِعِهِ وَنَسُوا حَظًّا مِمَّا ذُكِّرُوا بِهِ وَلَا تَزَالُ تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى خَائِنَةٍ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا مِنْهُمْ فَاعْفُ عَنْهُمْ وَاصْفَحْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَ (13) وَمِنَ
الَّذِينَ قَالُوا إِنَّا نَصَارَى أَخَذْنَا مِيثَاقَهُمْ فَنَسُوا حَظًّا مِمَّا ذُكِّرُوا بِهِ فَأَغْرَيْنَا بَيْنَهُمُ الْعَدَاوَةَ وَالْبَغْضَاءَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَسَوْفَ يُنَبِّئُهُمُ اللَّهُ بِمَا كَانُوا يَصْنَعُونَ (14)
[Quran - Surah:5 - al-Ma'idah - Verses:8-14]
O Beloved of the Awaited Mahdi, Al-Hussein bin Omar, remember the Word of Allah, The One, The Overpowering, in the decisive verses of the Great Qur'an, that He accepts our forgiveness even for the devils of mankind _ those who show faith while concealing disbelief. Allah, The Exalted, said:
وَلَا تَزَالُ تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى خَائِنَةٍ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا مِنْهُمْ فَاعْفُ عَنْهُمْ وَاصْفَحْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَ (13)
[Quran - Surah:5 - al-Ma'idah - Verse:13]
In the light of that, I call upon Allah, The One, The Overpowering, to bear Witness that I have forgiven the man who called himself (the supporter of the Imam Nasser Muhammad) in order that Allah may draw me nearer to Him and give me more of His love. Indeed, offering forgiveness between the servants of Allah ranks among the noblest acts of virtues. In line with the Word of Allah, The Exalted:
وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ مَاذَا يُنْفِقُونَ قُلِ الْعَفْوَ كَذَلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ لَكُمُ الْآيَاتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَفَكَّرُونَ (219)
[Quran - Surah:2 - al-Baqarah - Verse:219]
However, this does not mean that I ask Allah to pardon them, for how could He forgive them unless they change what lies within their hearts and return to Him in sincere repentance? I have only forgiven them for the wrongs they committed against me, and I do so solely for the sake of Allah: that He may draw me nearer, increase me in His love, and_by His will_grant them forgiveness and right guidance. Verily, Allah is capable of all things.
So, remain steadfast in that sweet patience, O my beloved for the sake of Allah, Al-Hussein bin Omar. Hold fast to that sweet patience, O my cherished foremost righteous supporters. Truly, it is only through Allah’s help that your patience is sustained, so that He may increase you in His love and nearness and grant you a bliss that reflects His inner pleasure. Indeed, Allah will increase the reward for those who do good. I still continue to remind you of our ultimate purpose in life; the very goal for which the Awaited Mahdi lives and strives, alongside his supporters who have surrendered themselves to their Lord. They are indeed among the closest servants to Him. Truly, we all strive through this life to attain 'The Greatest Bliss'; a joy that surpasses all the pleasures of both this world and the Hereafter. That supreme bliss lies in knowing that Allah is Well-Pleased in himself, feeling neither sorrow nor anger toward His servants. But how could that be achieved? It will only happen when Allah envelopes all His servants in His mercy. Only then Allah will be fully pleased in Himself_no longer grieving nor feeling sorrow for His servants. Truly, Allah’s sorrow for those who wronged themselves is deeper than that of a father for his suffering son, and even more profound than that of a mother, though the mother’s mercy for her child exceeds that of the father. Yet still, Allah’s sorrow for His servant is far greater. This is because Allah is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy and He is always considerate towards His servants, even though He never wrongs them in the least. Rather, they wrong their own souls when they reject the Messengers of their Lord and deny His signs. Therefore, the Messengers and their righteous supporters call upon Allah against those who disbelieved. Consequently, Allah responds to their invocation by destroying their enemies and appointing the righteous as successors on the earth after them, in fulfillment of His promise to His messengers and His Allies. Indeed, Allah never breaks His promise. Then, the inner wrath of Allah subsides after punishing the transgressing servants. And when bitter remorse blossoms in their souls for the duties that they neglected towards their Lord, they whisper within themselves, saying:
أَنْ تَقُولَ نَفْسٌ يَا حَسْرَتَا عَلَى مَا فَرَّطْتُ فِي جَنْبِ اللَّهِ وَإِنْ كُنْتُ لَمِنَ السَّاخِرِينَ (56)
[Quran - Surah:39 - Az-Zummar - Verse:56]
Just like that, the Lord’s anger finally cools off when regret bites deep into their hearts for what they missed of their Lord’s right. Then, the Most Merciful feels a deep sorrow for the ones who did themselves wrong, and He says:
يَا حَسْرَةً عَلَى الْعِبَادِ مَا يَأْتِيهِمْ مِنْ رَسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ (30) أَلَمْ يَرَوْا كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِنَ الْقُرُونِ أَنَّهُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ لَا يَرْجِعُونَ (31) وَإِنْ كُلٌّ لَمَّا جَمِيعٌ لَدَيْنَا مُحْضَرُونَ (32)
[Quran - Surah:36 - Ya Sin - Verses:30-32]
O My beloved ones in Allah-you whom He loves and love Him, can you truly rejoice and delight in the bliss of Paradise, with all its beauty and Houris while your Greatest Beloved grieves in sorrow over His servants who wronged themselves? Absolutely no. Then, no benefit is there in Paradise_ with all its delights, its maidens, palaces, wine, honey, and milk_if the Greatest Bliss of all is not fulfilled: that Allah be Pleased in Himself, neither sorrowful nor grieving? Verily, the full satisfaction of Allah within Himself will never be complete until He shelters all His servants in the shade of His mercy. So, do not despair in Allah’s relief. O servants of Allah altogether, turn to Him in sincere repentance, and return to your Lord wholeheartedly, saying: “My Lord, forgive and have mercy on us, for You are the Best of those who show mercy.” just turn to Him, and you will find Him a Lord full of forgiveness and mercy. Moreover, you will discover that there is no comparison between the mercy that Allah holds for His servants and the mercy which His servants show to each other. Rather, you will find that the difference is truly immense and that Allah is truly the Most Merciful of those who treat with mercy. Indeed, whoever despairs of Allah’s mercy has truly wronged his own soul with a grievous wrong and has failed to recognize the true majesty of His Lord_Glorified and Exalted is Allah, far above what they ascribe.
O Assembly of devils! Tell me who led you to despair in the mercy of Allah, the Most Merciful of all? What makes you persist in waging a relentless war against Allah and His allies_fully knowing how it will end? Indeed, you know the conclusion is inevitable: a decisive triumph of truth over falsehood. And so, Allah will cast you into the most severe torment of Hellfire because you have lost all hope in Allah’s mercy, both in this life and the Hereafter, just like the disbelievers who have lost hope that the dead will respond to them. This is why you insist on extinguishing Allah’s light of guidance, seeking to lead all people into falsehood with you, so that you may be alike in Hellfire. Therefore, Allah has sent the rightly guided Imam Mahdi to tell you with the truth that your despair of Allah’s mercy is the very root of your wrongdoings against your own souls, and that the one who told you to lose hope in Allah’s mercy is among the ranks of the liars. So let him return to Allah in sincere repentance, and he will find a Lord who is All-Forgiving and All-Merciful.
Therefore, I ask you by Allah: do not deprive either me or yourselves of the bliss that flows from Allah’s inner pleasure within Himself. For I am the rightly guided Imam Mahdi; the one who seeks Allah’s satisfaction as a purpose in itself, not as a means to enter Paradise and enjoy its delights, its Houris and Palaces. No, by Allah, I am not satisfied, nor do I wish to be satisfied, until Allah, the One I love most, is fully pleased within Himself, never grieved or saddened by the fate of His servants who have wronged their own souls. So, do not wrong me nor yourselves, O devils of mankind and Jinn who have despaired in Allah’s mercy. I swear by Allah, even the devils are included in the mission of the rightly guided Imam Mahdi. Indeed, I had refrained from issuing this ruling to the Muslim community before, fearing it might drive them into further trial, saying: “How can he be the true Imam Mahdi if he seeks salvation for even the devils from their eternal torment?” to this, the Imam Mahdi replies: “O people, what do you comprehend from the Word of Allah, the Exalted:
فَبِمَا نَقْضِهِمْ مِيثَاقَهُمْ لَعَنَّاهُمْ وَجَعَلْنَا قُلُوبَهُمْ قَاسِيَةً يُحَرِّفُونَ الْكَلِمَ عَنْ مَوَاضِعِهِ وَنَسُوا حَظًّا مِمَّا ذُكِّرُوا بِهِ وَلَا تَزَالُ تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى خَائِنَةٍ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا مِنْهُمْ فَاعْفُ عَنْهُمْ وَاصْفَحْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَ (13)
[Quran - Surah:5 - al-Ma'idah - Verse:13]?
Indeed, forgiving them is just concerning your rights, for the sake of Allah. And Allah has granted man freedom regarding what is due to him, whether he chooses to forgive his fellow man for the sake of his Lord or not. Verily, Allah has not commanded you to ask for the divine forgiveness upon the devils and disbelievers, for Allah will never forgive them as long as they persist in committing the evil deeds which incur His wrath. Furthermore, Allah will not forgive a servant, even if all of Allah’s servants in the heavens and the earth were to plead on his behalf until that servant abandons such actions and turns to his Lord in sincere repentance, In line with the Word of Allah, The Exalted:
اسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ أَوْ لَا تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ إِنْ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً فَلَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَاللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْفَاسِقِينَ (80)
[Quran - Surah:9 - at-Taubah - Verse:80]
Rather, this does not mean that Allah decreed in His Book that He will never forgive them, or that He hasn’t respond to the messenger’s plead for them because he will not forgive them_unlimitedly, absolutely not_by my Lord! Whoever claimed this has wronged his own soul. The truth is that their supplication was not accepted because they stubbornly adhered to actions that Allah detests and does not approve for them. Allah, The Exalted, said:
وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا فَعَلُوا فَاحِشَةً أَوْ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ ذَكَرُوا اللَّهَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا لِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَمَنْ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَلَمْ يُصِرُّوا عَلَى مَا فَعَلُوا وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ (135)
[Quran - Surah:3 - Al-Imran - Verse:135]
Yet, the devils of mankind misconceived the previous verse and gave up on Allah’s mercy. But they didn’t just lose their own way, they vowed to take others down with them, luring souls off the straight path in order to share the same torment in Hellfire with them. So, fear Allah, O assembly of devils! By Allah, the One besides whom there is no god, the Mahdi is indeed the most knowledgeable of all in Allah’s Book and its interpretation. And I do not seek to deceive you to stop your war against the religion of God_never, by my Lord! For I know with certainty that Allah is my Helper against you, no matter how cunning your schemes may be. Verily, we are victorious over you by the Will of Allah, The One, The Overpowering. And I know that no matter how cunning your plots are, you only scheme against your own selves. For Allah will turn your very conspiracies into a means for the triumph of the awaited Mahdi and the completion of Allah’s Light across the worlds, even if you detest it.
So tell me, O people, why would I ever deceive you, even if you were among the fiercest enemies of the awaited Mahdi? It is not befitting of me to mislead you by misinterpreting even a single verse. Never, by my Lord, Allah, who taught me Himself. I do not share with you other than the accurate and intended meaning from Allah. And Allah is a witness to that, and He is my guardian. Therefore, regarding the “traps” which I set in some of my statements, they are not deception, but an invitation to the scholars_an opening for dialogue. As one of the scholars may feel confident, thinking he can bring down Nasser Muhammad Al-Yemeni on a particular point. So, he may register hastily, eager to respond again and again, only to find himself stunned by a truth he never expected, revealed by one_to whom Allah has granted the knowledge of the Book to teach you what you never knew.
O Servants of Allah, every one of you is embraced within the purpose of the Awaited Imam Mahdi_who is sent by Allah as the ultimate mercy to all worlds, to unite them as one nation upon the straight path of Allah. Considering that the Imam Mahdi longs even for the guidance of devils themselves, then is there any true reward for goodness, but goodness in return? And I pledge to you, by Allah Himself, that I shall speak only the truth in the clarifying statements of the Qur’an. Indeed, through this true guidance of the Imam Mahdi, Allah leads many souls to the light of guidance. On the other hand, through the very truth of the Imam Mahdi’s message, many souls are also led astray by God's will. Verily, none are led astray by it but those who knew, deep down, that he truly is the Awaited Mahdi. Yet when the moment came and destiny unveiled his appearance, their faces darkened, and they did not rejoice in the greatest mercy of Allah_because their hearts held fast to a belief that Allah’s mercy was never meant for them.
O Who told you that Allah has written upon Himself never to grant you mercy? Is that the precise reason for not turning back in repentance to your Lord? Indeed, you have gone wrong for embracing this belief which caused ruin to many people among you. But I, the Imam Mahdi, will refute this belief with the true authority of knowledge drawn from the clear verses of the Book of Allah, by presenting this question to you: “O assembly of devils from among jinn and humankind! Do you not know that you, too, are among the servants of Allah_created by Him for the purpose of worship? In line with the Word of Allah, The Exalted:
وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنْسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ (56)
[Quran - Surah:51 - ad-Dhariyat - Verse:56]
And the precise question here is: as long as you are from among Allah’s servants, why do you think that the call of Allah _ who is The Most Merciful of all _ does not include you, when He says in the clear verses of His Book:
قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ (53) وَأَنِيبُوا إِلَى رَبِّكُمْ وَأَسْلِمُوا لَهُ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَأْتِيَكُمُ الْعَذَابُ ثُمَّ لَا تُنْصَرُونَ (54) وَاتَّبِعُوا أَحْسَنَ مَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَأْتِيَكُمُ الْعَذَابُ بَغْتَةً وَأَنْتُمْ لَا تَشْعُرُونَ (55) أَنْ تَقُولَ نَفْسٌ يَا حَسْرَتَا عَلَى مَا فَرَّطْتُ فِي جَنْبِ اللَّهِ وَإِنْ كُنْتُ لَمِنَ السَّاخِرِينَ (56)
[Quran - Surah:39 - az-Zumar - Verses:53-56]
But for Allah to forgive you, know this: it is not accepted to ask Allah’s forgiveness while persistence in committing the same sin. Verily, it is like a man who commits adultery or wrongs himself, then says, “My Lord, forgive and have mercy on me, for You are the Best of Merciful.” Yet Allah, The One, The Almighty, will not forgive him_even if he asks for forgiveness a billion times a day_so long as he insists on the very act, he seeks forgiveness for. For how can Allah forgive him while he remains stubborn in doing what Allah hates and forbids? That’s why Allah, The Exalted said:
وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا فَعَلُوا فَاحِشَةً أَوْ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ ذَكَرُوا اللَّهَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا لِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَمَنْ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَلَمْ يُصِرُّوا عَلَى مَا فَعَلُوا وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ (135)
[Quran - Surah:3 - Al-Imran - Verse:135]
And whoever sincerely asks Allah’s forgiveness for a specific sin while truly intending never to return to it_Allah will forgive that sin. For Allah considers the present intention of His servant: does he truly mean to abandon the sin and not persist in it? Thereafter, Allah grants him forgiveness_even if Allah knows that he will fall into that sin again, Allah pardons him without regard for his relapse. Even if the servant commits the sin again then sought forgiveness with genuine intent not to persist, Allah will once again forgive him unconcerned to the repetition of the sin. For Allah looks at the current intention of the heart of His servant at the time of asking forgiveness. Indeed, deeds are judged by intentions, and every soul receives according to what it intends. As long as the sinful servant seeks forgiveness for his sin, intending not to return to it, Allah surely will forgive him even if Allah knows that he will return to that sin again. And I will illustrate this with an example from the Word of Allah, The Exalted:
هُوَ الَّذِي يُسَيِّرُكُمْ فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنْتُمْ فِي الْفُلْكِ وَجَرَيْنَ بِهِمْ بِرِيحٍ طَيِّبَةٍ وَفَرِحُوا بِهَا جَاءَتْهَا رِيحٌ عَاصِفٌ وَجَاءَهُمُ الْمَوْجُ مِنْ كُلِّ مَكَانٍ وَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ أُحِيطَ بِهِمْ دَعَوُا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ لَئِنْ أَنْجَيْتَنَا مِنْ هَذِهِ لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الشَّاكِرِينَ (22) فَلَمَّا أَنْجَاهُمْ إِذَا هُمْ يَبْغُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ
[Quran - Surah:10 - Yunus - Verses:22-23]
And the question that arises here is: Does this mean that Allah is unaware they will revert to their polytheism after He rescues them? Of course He is fully aware_glory be to Him! Yet, in their moment of crisis, they cry out to Him with wholehearted sincerity, both inwardly and outwardly. Allah, The Exalted said:
وَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ أُحِيطَ بِهِمْ دَعَوُا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ لَئِنْ أَنْجَيْتَنَا مِنْ هَذِهِ لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الشَّاكِرِينَ (22) فَلَمَّا أَنْجَاهُمْ إِذَا هُمْ يَبْغُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ
[Quran - Surah:10 - Yunus - Verses:22-23]
And Allah, The Exalted said:
أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ الْفُلْكَ تَجْرِي فِي الْبَحْرِ بِنِعْمَتِ اللَّهِ لِيُرِيَكُمْ مِنْ آيَاتِهِ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِكُلِّ صَبَّارٍ شَكُورٍ (31) وَإِذَا غَشِيَهُمْ مَوْجٌ كَالظُّلَلِ دَعَوُا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ فَلَمَّا نَجَّاهُمْ إِلَى الْبَرِّ فَمِنْهُمْ مُقْتَصِدٌ وَمَا يَجْحَدُ بِآيَاتِنَا إِلَّا كُلُّ خَتَّارٍ كَفُورٍ (32)
[Quran - Surah:31 - Luqman - Verses:31-32]
And Allah, The Exalted said:
قُلْ مَنْ يُنَجِّيكُمْ مِنْ ظُلُمَاتِ الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ تَدْعُونَهُ تَضَرُّعًا وَخُفْيَةً لَئِنْ أَنْجَانَا مِنْ هَذِهِ لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الشَّاكِرِينَ (63) قُلِ اللَّهُ يُنَجِّيكُمْ مِنْهَا وَمِنْ كُلِّ كَرْبٍ ثُمَّ أَنْتُمْ تُشْرِكُونَ (64)
[Quran - Surah:6 - al-An`am - Verses:63-64]
Thus, in this desperate moment of prayer, their hearts were pure, sincerely devoted to their Lord and turning back to Him in repentance, saying: “if our Lord rescues us from this, we will be ever grateful…” Thereafter, Allah rescues them because their intention was truthful. So, Allah forgives them and rescues them even though He knows that some of them will turn to their previous wrongdoings they used to do. Yet, Allah does not judge according to what He knows of the unseen. If Allah were to do so, He would not forgive anyone who did wrong. Rather, Allah only considers the present intention in the heart of His servants at the time of supplication and seeking forgiveness.
Yet in truth, they are liars. Truth seekers may ask me in astonishment: “how can they be liars when you affirmed that they were sincere in their supplication, both in heart and form? To that, the Imam Mahdi responds: in fact, they are lying in their belief, not speech. And because of their false belief, they will surely return to what they were forbidden from. To clarify the intended meaning of a False Belief, I shall present an example of a false belief held by the people of Hellfire. Allah, The Exalted said:
رَبَّنَا أَخْرِجْنَا مِنْهَا فَإِنْ عُدْنَا فَإِنَّا ظَالِمُونَ (107)
[Quran - Surah:23 - al-Mu'minun - Verse:107]
Also, Allah, The Exalted, said:
وَلَوْ رُدُّوا لَعَادُوا لِمَا نُهُوا عَنْهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ (28)
[Quran - Surah:6 - al-An`am - Verse:28]
Here arises a question for reason an rational mind: could they truly be pretending before their Lord? Can their lips speak falsehood while they scream in Fire? What would the answer of the reason for such a question? Surely, the verdict of the mind would be the following: “In this situation, it is neither logical nor sensible that they utter words that do not reflect what lies in their hearts and insist on the sins they were warned against. How could that be when they are crying out in the depths of Hellfire? Indeed, they must be sincere, truly desiring to return to life and walk a different path_one of righteousness rather than the evil they once pursued. They seek nothing more than a second chance … a chance never to return to the flames again.”
O People! What does Allah mean by His Word:
وَلَوْ رُدُّوا لَعَادُوا لِمَا نُهُوا عَنْهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ (28)
[Quran - Surah:6 - al-An`am - Verse:28]
So, is the meaning that they are lying in speech, or in belief? Verily, I give you the truthful verdict: Allah means that they are lying in their belief, for guidance is not theirs to claim _ without any conditioning or acknowledging Allah’s will _ that: if they were returned to the worldly life, they would surely act differently from how they had before. Indeed, they are lying in this conception as how could they be sure of that when guidance belongs to Allah who comes between a man and his heart! Yet, they are confident about themselves that if Allah were to release them from the Fire and return them to this world, they would act differently from the deeds that led them to the Hell; They claim that they would never return to such actions again. And so, if they were returned, Allah will turn away their hearts, causing them to fall back to what they once did_so that they may come to realize that they were indeed lying when they thought that guidance was theirs. For indeed, guidance belongs to Allah alone, the One who stands between a man and his heart.
Therefore, O people! They have deluded themselves by their certainty-based belief, believing they will never return to what they were forbidden from. And because of this certainty, they judged upon themselves that they are safe from returning to the same sins, saying:
رَبَّنَا أَخْرِجْنَا مِنْهَا فَإِنْ عُدْنَا فَإِنَّا ظَالِمُونَ (107)
[Quran - Surah:23 - al-Mu'minun - Verse:107]
Also, Allah, The Exalted, said:
وَلَوْ رُدُّوا لَعَادُوا لِمَا نُهُوا عَنْهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ (28)
[Quran - Surah:6 - al-An`am - Verse:28]
Allah is indicating that their inner conviction is flawed because they don't include any exceptions, such as saying: “If Allah wills, we will never return to evil again.” Instead, they made a definitive judgment about themselves, declaring:
رَبَّنَا أَخْرِجْنَا مِنْهَا فَإِنْ عُدْنَا فَإِنَّا ظَالِمُونَ (107)
[Quran - Surah:23 - al-Mu'minun - Verse:107]
Here, they do not know that Allah comes between a man and his heart, guiding hearts however He wills. Verily, this false belief led so many nations to ruin.
Let me offer you a parable: In this life, disbelievers often demand miraculous signs from the messengers of their Lord. They claim by promising the messengers that they will believe wholeheartedly if such signs were granted by Allah, undoubtedly. Yet such is a false belief, and nothing will change, for they do not grasp that their hearts are ultimately under the control of their Lord. How can they be sure that they would follow the truth-even if miracles were shown to them-when it is Allah who intervenes between a person and his heart? Allah, the Exalted said:
وَأَقْسَمُوا بِاللَّهِ جَهْدَ أَيْمَانِهِمْ لَئِنْ جَاءَتْهُمْ آيَةٌ لَيُؤْمِنُنَّ بِهَا قُلْ إِنَّمَا الْآيَاتُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَمَا يُشْعِرُكُمْ أَنَّهَا إِذَا جَاءَتْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ (109)
[Quran - Surah:6 - al-An`am - Verse:109]
Since it is a false belief, none of it will ever come to pass. Instead, Allah will grant His messengers miracles in response to their people’s demands_only to then harden the hearts of those diving in this deception, driving them deeper into denial. And they will dismiss it all, saying, ‘This is nothing but a clear magic.’ Allah, The Exalted said:
وَأَقْسَمُوا بِاللَّهِ جَهْدَ أَيْمَانِهِمْ لَئِنْ جَاءَتْهُمْ آيَةٌ لَيُؤْمِنُنَّ بِهَا قُلْ إِنَّمَا الْآيَاتُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَمَا يُشْعِرُكُمْ أَنَّهَا إِذَا جَاءَتْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ (109) وَنُقَلِّبُ أَفْئِدَتَهُمْ وَأَبْصَارَهُمْ كَمَا لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِهِ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَنَذَرُهُمْ فِي طُغْيَانِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ (110)
[Quran - Surah:6 - al-An`am -Verse:109-110]
Do you comprehend now the true interpretation of the Word of Allah, The Exalted:
وَلَوْ رُدُّوا لَعَادُوا لِمَا نُهُوا عَنْهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ (28)
[Quran - Surah:6 - al-An`am - Verse:28]
This means that their falsehood lies not in their spoken words, but in the very foundation of their belief. Verily, they do not say other than what they really intend to do, for uttering other than the intention and persisting on sin while burning defies reason and logic. How could they possibly lie to their Lord while suffering in a blazing Fire fueled by men and stones? No, by the Lord of all worlds, they harbor not the slightest intention to deceive Allah. On the contrary, they sincerely implore Him to return them to life so they may live righteously and undo their past. Yet they held misconception from the start; it was never rooted in truth, as they should know that Allah comes between a person and his heart, and that is why guidance belongs to Allah alone. As affirmed in the Words of Allah, the Exalted:
وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَحُولُ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَقَلْبِهِ وَأَنَّهُ إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ (24)
[Quran - Surah:8 - al-Anfal - Verse:24]
O Supporters of the Imam Mahdi, beware of falling into the illusion that you are immune to falsehood after recognizing that the statements of Imam Mahdi Nasser Muhammad Al-Yemeni are indeed the true interpretation of the Glorious Qur’an. For if you do so, Allah will cause your hearts to stray, so that you may realize that he indeed comes between a person and his heart. O assembly of the foremost righteous supporters_rather, you should say :
رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْوَهَّابُ (8) رَبَّنَا إِنَّكَ جَامِعُ النَّاسِ لِيَوْمٍ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُخْلِفُ الْمِيعَادَ (9)
[Quran - Surah:3 - Al-Imran - Verses:8-9]
O Assembly of the foremost righteous supporters! I, the Imam Mahdi will journey to a people who have transgressed against another people, seeking to restore peace between them. If one of the two parties ceases its aggression, then we shall fight the transgressing side until it yields to the command of Allah. Alongside the Imam Mahdi march thousands of warriors from his own people, each bearing their own provisions, we just prepare whatever heavy arms we are able to gather. And thank god, today we acquired two powerful pieces of weaponry; one is known as the 14.5 caliber, and the other is a long-range 23 caliber, designed for warfare and capable of serving as anti-aircraft defense. Moreover, all thanks to god that we already possess other types of heavy weaponry, including various categories such as the katyusha rocket launcher, the 12.7 mm heavy machine gun, B-10 rifles. Therefore, what I wish to say to the assembly of supporters who may hear of this and ask: “Why is Imam Mahdi Nasser Muhammad Al-Yemeni involved in a war between his tribe and another?” Then Imam Mahdi Nasser Muhammad Al-Yemeni will respond to them with the truth and say: “By Allah, besides whom there is no god, that if I didn’t know this war was to defend the oppressed against the oppressors, I wouldn’t have armed it. The oppressed man is a supplicant/refugee, seeking the tribal chief's protection and justice. He does not belong to my clan, yet he is not even a supplicant of my clan, rather, he is a supplicant of another clan that belongs to our grand tribe. He came in sorrow, seeking justice, for another clan had wronged his clan. Verily, another group of people had murdered a man and even a woman from among his people. We mourned, saying “To Allah we all belong and to Him we shall return.” But then came the greater calamity when he informed me that the aggressors refused even a few days of truce, rejecting any chance for reconciliation. And so, when those guilty of bloodshed refuse even the call for peace, how can I not prepare for war?
Behold! it is true that the Imam Mahdi ranks among the most patient and forbearing of all people, yet, I swear by Allah; who there is no deity but Him_whenever the sacred laws of Allah are violated and injustice is inflicted upon fellow human beings, my anger burns with unmatched intensity. I swear by Allah, in such moments, they will witness a different side of Imam Mahdi Nasser Muhammad Al-Yemeni; a man of unshakable strength, who strikes with the force of iron. I do not care what fate befalls me so long as it is in defense of Allah’s cause. So, do not mistake my patience for weakness. While I may overlook personal harm, insults, or slander, I will never turn a blind eye to transgressions against the boundaries set by Allah, never! Indeed, whoever overstep Allah’s limits bring harm only upon themselves. Still, my ability to command right and forbid wrong is bound by what Allah has empowered me to do thus far, for He does not burden any soul beyond its capacity. In confirmation to the Word of Allah, The Exalted:
الَّذِينَ إِنْ مَكَّنَّاهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ أَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتَوُا الزَّكَاةَ وَأَمَرُوا بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَنَهَوْا عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَلِلَّهِ عَاقِبَةُ الْأُمُورِ (41)
[Quran - Surah:22 - al-Hajj - Verse:41]
The Imam Mahdi had to announce this event on his global website to prevent Allah's enemies from exploiting it. They would surely say: “Why would Nasser Muhammad Al-Yemeni, who claims to be the Awaited Mahdi promoting world peace, then resort to large-caliber weapons to aid his tribe in a war against another, especially when all are believers?” hence, the Imam Mahdi replies: “Allah, The Exalted said:
وَإِنْ طَائِفَتَانِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اقْتَتَلُوا فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَهُمَا فَإِنْ بَغَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا عَلَى الْأُخْرَى فَقَاتِلُوا الَّتِي تَبْغِي حَتَّى تَفِيءَ إِلَى أَمْرِ اللَّهِ فَإِنْ فَاءَتْ فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَهُمَا بِالْعَدْلِ وَأَقْسِطُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطِينَ (9)
[Quran - Surah:49 - al-Hujurat - Verse:9]
O Questioners! Seek the truth and tell us: who has committed this heinous crime; the murder of a woman and a man, and when some stepped forward to mediate for peace, the victims’ kin responded in good faith, for peace is always better? Yet the true catastrophe struck when the criminals arrogantly rejected peace, aiming to drive the grieving people from their homes, seize their land, and ignite the flames of war. But we are here to face them. We shall not weaken, nor shall we fall. We are the victorious by the word of Allah, the Almighty, the All-Wise. I thank God that this war was not over a member of the grand tribe of the Awaited Mahdi. Rather, it was for the sake of another people who came to our clan seeking protection and justice against another clan which murdered some of them and intended to uproot them. How can we then turn our backs on them after being certain that they were truly wronged and their rights were violated? How can we ignore the oppressed when we have the ability to help, by the grace of Allah, The Almighty, The All-Wise? Excuse me, O assembly of supporters! Would you approve if others oppressed against one of you, expelled him from his land and home, and killed his men and women? Similarly, this oppressed man_whom a people wronged due to their tyranny, arrogance, and pride, for they are wealthy and consider him poor and inferior (to them) in lineage-is our supplicant. Thus, his protection is obligatory upon us.
I swear by Allah, The Great, Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them and Lord of the great throne, that I will surely assist this weak and oppressed man, especially after I have come to know with certainty that he is indeed oppressed, aiding him with all my strength. So do not grieve, O foremost righteous supporters! for by Allah, as soon as the oppressors heard this very day that Sheikh Nasser Muhammad had purchased a long-range weapon of 23 caliber that repels the enemy from afar, and a medium-range 14.5 caliber machine gun with intense bombardment, they began to submit and accept mediation to resolve the dispute between the two clans. However, there are still some of them who want war, and we do not know what the mediation will achieve. I may be absent from the website starting tomorrow due to my occupation with preparing for war, in support of the oppressed against the oppressor. Indeed, victory is only from Allah, The Almighty, The All-Wise. So, do not feel sad, O my supporters, for by Allah, besides whom there is no god, no one can kill Imam Mahdi, Nasser Muhammad Al-Yemeni, except by the leave of Allah, until Allah completes His light through His servant, even though the criminals detest His appearance. Certainly, we shall return by the permission of Allah, for all affairs return to Allah.

Such is a False Belief_None of it Will Come True, For They do not Know That Their Hearts are in the Hand of Their Lord…
In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful:
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُونُوا قَوَّامِينَ لِلَّهِ شُهَدَاءَ بِالْقِسْطِ وَلَا يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شَنَآنُ قَوْمٍ عَلَى أَلَّا تَعْدِلُوا اعْدِلُوا هُوَ أَقْرَبُ لِلتَّقْوَى وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَبِيرٌ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ (8) وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ مَغْفِرَةٌ وَأَجْرٌ عَظِيمٌ (9) وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَكَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا أُولَئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْجَحِيمِ (10) يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اذْكُرُوا نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ هَمَّ قَوْمٌ أَنْ يَبْسُطُوا إِلَيْكُمْ أَيْدِيَهُمْ فَكَفَّ أَيْدِيَهُمْ عَنْكُمْ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ (11) وَلَقَدْ أَخَذَ اللَّهُ مِيثَاقَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَبَعَثْنَا مِنْهُمُ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ نَقِيبًا وَقَالَ اللَّهُ إِنِّي مَعَكُمْ لَئِنْ أَقَمْتُمُ الصَّلَاةَ وَآتَيْتُمُ الزَّكَاةَ وَآمَنْتُمْ بِرُسُلِي وَعَزَّرْتُمُوهُمْ وَأَقْرَضْتُمُ اللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا لَأُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنْكُمْ سَيِّئَاتِكُمْ وَلَأُدْخِلَنَّكُمْ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ فَمَنْ كَفَرَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مِنْكُمْ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ سَوَاءَ السَّبِيلِ (12) فَبِمَا نَقْضِهِمْ مِيثَاقَهُمْ لَعَنَّاهُمْ وَجَعَلْنَا قُلُوبَهُمْ قَاسِيَةً يُحَرِّفُونَ الْكَلِمَ عَنْ مَوَاضِعِهِ وَنَسُوا حَظًّا مِمَّا ذُكِّرُوا بِهِ وَلَا تَزَالُ تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى خَائِنَةٍ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا مِنْهُمْ فَاعْفُ عَنْهُمْ وَاصْفَحْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَ (13) وَمِنَ
الَّذِينَ قَالُوا إِنَّا نَصَارَى أَخَذْنَا مِيثَاقَهُمْ فَنَسُوا حَظًّا مِمَّا ذُكِّرُوا بِهِ فَأَغْرَيْنَا بَيْنَهُمُ الْعَدَاوَةَ وَالْبَغْضَاءَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَسَوْفَ يُنَبِّئُهُمُ اللَّهُ بِمَا كَانُوا يَصْنَعُونَ (14)
[Quran - Surah:5 - al-Ma'idah - Verses:8-14]
O Beloved of the Awaited Mahdi, Al-Hussein bin Omar, remember the Word of Allah, The One, The Overpowering, in the decisive verses of the Great Qur'an, that He accepts our forgiveness even for the devils of mankind _ those who show faith while concealing disbelief. Allah, The Exalted, said:
وَلَا تَزَالُ تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى خَائِنَةٍ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا مِنْهُمْ فَاعْفُ عَنْهُمْ وَاصْفَحْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَ (13)
[Quran - Surah:5 - al-Ma'idah - Verse:13]
In the light of that, I call upon Allah, The One, The Overpowering, to bear Witness that I have forgiven the man who called himself (the supporter of the Imam Nasser Muhammad) in order that Allah may draw me nearer to Him and give me more of His love. Indeed, offering forgiveness between the servants of Allah ranks among the noblest acts of virtues. In line with the Word of Allah, The Exalted:
وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ مَاذَا يُنْفِقُونَ قُلِ الْعَفْوَ كَذَلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ لَكُمُ الْآيَاتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَفَكَّرُونَ (219)
[Quran - Surah:2 - al-Baqarah - Verse:219]
However, this does not mean that I ask Allah to pardon them, for how could He forgive them unless they change what lies within their hearts and return to Him in sincere repentance? I have only forgiven them for the wrongs they committed against me, and I do so solely for the sake of Allah: that He may draw me nearer, increase me in His love, and_by His will_grant them forgiveness and right guidance. Verily, Allah is capable of all things.
So, remain steadfast in that sweet patience, O my beloved for the sake of Allah, Al-Hussein bin Omar. Hold fast to that sweet patience, O my cherished foremost righteous supporters. Truly, it is only through Allah’s help that your patience is sustained, so that He may increase you in His love and nearness and grant you a bliss that reflects His inner pleasure. Indeed, Allah will increase the reward for those who do good. I still continue to remind you of our ultimate purpose in life; the very goal for which the Awaited Mahdi lives and strives, alongside his supporters who have surrendered themselves to their Lord. They are indeed among the closest servants to Him. Truly, we all strive through this life to attain 'The Greatest Bliss'; a joy that surpasses all the pleasures of both this world and the Hereafter. That supreme bliss lies in knowing that Allah is Well-Pleased in himself, feeling neither sorrow nor anger toward His servants. But how could that be achieved? It will only happen when Allah envelopes all His servants in His mercy. Only then Allah will be fully pleased in Himself_no longer grieving nor feeling sorrow for His servants. Truly, Allah’s sorrow for those who wronged themselves is deeper than that of a father for his suffering son, and even more profound than that of a mother, though the mother’s mercy for her child exceeds that of the father. Yet still, Allah’s sorrow for His servant is far greater. This is because Allah is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy and He is always considerate towards His servants, even though He never wrongs them in the least. Rather, they wrong their own souls when they reject the Messengers of their Lord and deny His signs. Therefore, the Messengers and their righteous supporters call upon Allah against those who disbelieved. Consequently, Allah responds to their invocation by destroying their enemies and appointing the righteous as successors on the earth after them, in fulfillment of His promise to His messengers and His Allies. Indeed, Allah never breaks His promise. Then, the inner wrath of Allah subsides after punishing the transgressing servants. And when bitter remorse blossoms in their souls for the duties that they neglected towards their Lord, they whisper within themselves, saying:
أَنْ تَقُولَ نَفْسٌ يَا حَسْرَتَا عَلَى مَا فَرَّطْتُ فِي جَنْبِ اللَّهِ وَإِنْ كُنْتُ لَمِنَ السَّاخِرِينَ (56)
[Quran - Surah:39 - Az-Zummar - Verse:56]
Just like that, the Lord’s anger finally cools off when regret bites deep into their hearts for what they missed of their Lord’s right. Then, the Most Merciful feels a deep sorrow for the ones who did themselves wrong, and He says:
يَا حَسْرَةً عَلَى الْعِبَادِ مَا يَأْتِيهِمْ مِنْ رَسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ (30) أَلَمْ يَرَوْا كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِنَ الْقُرُونِ أَنَّهُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ لَا يَرْجِعُونَ (31) وَإِنْ كُلٌّ لَمَّا جَمِيعٌ لَدَيْنَا مُحْضَرُونَ (32)
[Quran - Surah:36 - Ya Sin - Verses:30-32]
O My beloved ones in Allah-you whom He loves and love Him, can you truly rejoice and delight in the bliss of Paradise, with all its beauty and Houris while your Greatest Beloved grieves in sorrow over His servants who wronged themselves? Absolutely no. Then, no benefit is there in Paradise_ with all its delights, its maidens, palaces, wine, honey, and milk_if the Greatest Bliss of all is not fulfilled: that Allah be Pleased in Himself, neither sorrowful nor grieving? Verily, the full satisfaction of Allah within Himself will never be complete until He shelters all His servants in the shade of His mercy. So, do not despair in Allah’s relief. O servants of Allah altogether, turn to Him in sincere repentance, and return to your Lord wholeheartedly, saying: “My Lord, forgive and have mercy on us, for You are the Best of those who show mercy.” just turn to Him, and you will find Him a Lord full of forgiveness and mercy. Moreover, you will discover that there is no comparison between the mercy that Allah holds for His servants and the mercy which His servants show to each other. Rather, you will find that the difference is truly immense and that Allah is truly the Most Merciful of those who treat with mercy. Indeed, whoever despairs of Allah’s mercy has truly wronged his own soul with a grievous wrong and has failed to recognize the true majesty of His Lord_Glorified and Exalted is Allah, far above what they ascribe.
O Assembly of devils! Tell me who led you to despair in the mercy of Allah, the Most Merciful of all? What makes you persist in waging a relentless war against Allah and His allies_fully knowing how it will end? Indeed, you know the conclusion is inevitable: a decisive triumph of truth over falsehood. And so, Allah will cast you into the most severe torment of Hellfire because you have lost all hope in Allah’s mercy, both in this life and the Hereafter, just like the disbelievers who have lost hope that the dead will respond to them. This is why you insist on extinguishing Allah’s light of guidance, seeking to lead all people into falsehood with you, so that you may be alike in Hellfire. Therefore, Allah has sent the rightly guided Imam Mahdi to tell you with the truth that your despair of Allah’s mercy is the very root of your wrongdoings against your own souls, and that the one who told you to lose hope in Allah’s mercy is among the ranks of the liars. So let him return to Allah in sincere repentance, and he will find a Lord who is All-Forgiving and All-Merciful.
Therefore, I ask you by Allah: do not deprive either me or yourselves of the bliss that flows from Allah’s inner pleasure within Himself. For I am the rightly guided Imam Mahdi; the one who seeks Allah’s satisfaction as a purpose in itself, not as a means to enter Paradise and enjoy its delights, its Houris and Palaces. No, by Allah, I am not satisfied, nor do I wish to be satisfied, until Allah, the One I love most, is fully pleased within Himself, never grieved or saddened by the fate of His servants who have wronged their own souls. So, do not wrong me nor yourselves, O devils of mankind and Jinn who have despaired in Allah’s mercy. I swear by Allah, even the devils are included in the mission of the rightly guided Imam Mahdi. Indeed, I had refrained from issuing this ruling to the Muslim community before, fearing it might drive them into further trial, saying: “How can he be the true Imam Mahdi if he seeks salvation for even the devils from their eternal torment?” to this, the Imam Mahdi replies: “O people, what do you comprehend from the Word of Allah, the Exalted:
فَبِمَا نَقْضِهِمْ مِيثَاقَهُمْ لَعَنَّاهُمْ وَجَعَلْنَا قُلُوبَهُمْ قَاسِيَةً يُحَرِّفُونَ الْكَلِمَ عَنْ مَوَاضِعِهِ وَنَسُوا حَظًّا مِمَّا ذُكِّرُوا بِهِ وَلَا تَزَالُ تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى خَائِنَةٍ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا مِنْهُمْ فَاعْفُ عَنْهُمْ وَاصْفَحْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَ (13)
[Quran - Surah:5 - al-Ma'idah - Verse:13]?
Indeed, forgiving them is just concerning your rights, for the sake of Allah. And Allah has granted man freedom regarding what is due to him, whether he chooses to forgive his fellow man for the sake of his Lord or not. Verily, Allah has not commanded you to ask for the divine forgiveness upon the devils and disbelievers, for Allah will never forgive them as long as they persist in committing the evil deeds which incur His wrath. Furthermore, Allah will not forgive a servant, even if all of Allah’s servants in the heavens and the earth were to plead on his behalf until that servant abandons such actions and turns to his Lord in sincere repentance, In line with the Word of Allah, The Exalted:
اسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ أَوْ لَا تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ إِنْ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً فَلَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَاللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْفَاسِقِينَ (80)
[Quran - Surah:9 - at-Taubah - Verse:80]
Rather, this does not mean that Allah decreed in His Book that He will never forgive them, or that He hasn’t respond to the messenger’s plead for them because he will not forgive them_unlimitedly, absolutely not_by my Lord! Whoever claimed this has wronged his own soul. The truth is that their supplication was not accepted because they stubbornly adhered to actions that Allah detests and does not approve for them. Allah, The Exalted, said:
وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا فَعَلُوا فَاحِشَةً أَوْ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ ذَكَرُوا اللَّهَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا لِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَمَنْ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَلَمْ يُصِرُّوا عَلَى مَا فَعَلُوا وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ (135)
[Quran - Surah:3 - Al-Imran - Verse:135]
Yet, the devils of mankind misconceived the previous verse and gave up on Allah’s mercy. But they didn’t just lose their own way, they vowed to take others down with them, luring souls off the straight path in order to share the same torment in Hellfire with them. So, fear Allah, O assembly of devils! By Allah, the One besides whom there is no god, the Mahdi is indeed the most knowledgeable of all in Allah’s Book and its interpretation. And I do not seek to deceive you to stop your war against the religion of God_never, by my Lord! For I know with certainty that Allah is my Helper against you, no matter how cunning your schemes may be. Verily, we are victorious over you by the Will of Allah, The One, The Overpowering. And I know that no matter how cunning your plots are, you only scheme against your own selves. For Allah will turn your very conspiracies into a means for the triumph of the awaited Mahdi and the completion of Allah’s Light across the worlds, even if you detest it.
So tell me, O people, why would I ever deceive you, even if you were among the fiercest enemies of the awaited Mahdi? It is not befitting of me to mislead you by misinterpreting even a single verse. Never, by my Lord, Allah, who taught me Himself. I do not share with you other than the accurate and intended meaning from Allah. And Allah is a witness to that, and He is my guardian. Therefore, regarding the “traps” which I set in some of my statements, they are not deception, but an invitation to the scholars_an opening for dialogue. As one of the scholars may feel confident, thinking he can bring down Nasser Muhammad Al-Yemeni on a particular point. So, he may register hastily, eager to respond again and again, only to find himself stunned by a truth he never expected, revealed by one_to whom Allah has granted the knowledge of the Book to teach you what you never knew.
O Servants of Allah, every one of you is embraced within the purpose of the Awaited Imam Mahdi_who is sent by Allah as the ultimate mercy to all worlds, to unite them as one nation upon the straight path of Allah. Considering that the Imam Mahdi longs even for the guidance of devils themselves, then is there any true reward for goodness, but goodness in return? And I pledge to you, by Allah Himself, that I shall speak only the truth in the clarifying statements of the Qur’an. Indeed, through this true guidance of the Imam Mahdi, Allah leads many souls to the light of guidance. On the other hand, through the very truth of the Imam Mahdi’s message, many souls are also led astray by God's will. Verily, none are led astray by it but those who knew, deep down, that he truly is the Awaited Mahdi. Yet when the moment came and destiny unveiled his appearance, their faces darkened, and they did not rejoice in the greatest mercy of Allah_because their hearts held fast to a belief that Allah’s mercy was never meant for them.
O Who told you that Allah has written upon Himself never to grant you mercy? Is that the precise reason for not turning back in repentance to your Lord? Indeed, you have gone wrong for embracing this belief which caused ruin to many people among you. But I, the Imam Mahdi, will refute this belief with the true authority of knowledge drawn from the clear verses of the Book of Allah, by presenting this question to you: “O assembly of devils from among jinn and humankind! Do you not know that you, too, are among the servants of Allah_created by Him for the purpose of worship? In line with the Word of Allah, The Exalted:
وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنْسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ (56)
[Quran - Surah:51 - ad-Dhariyat - Verse:56]
And the precise question here is: as long as you are from among Allah’s servants, why do you think that the call of Allah _ who is The Most Merciful of all _ does not include you, when He says in the clear verses of His Book:
قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ (53) وَأَنِيبُوا إِلَى رَبِّكُمْ وَأَسْلِمُوا لَهُ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَأْتِيَكُمُ الْعَذَابُ ثُمَّ لَا تُنْصَرُونَ (54) وَاتَّبِعُوا أَحْسَنَ مَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَأْتِيَكُمُ الْعَذَابُ بَغْتَةً وَأَنْتُمْ لَا تَشْعُرُونَ (55) أَنْ تَقُولَ نَفْسٌ يَا حَسْرَتَا عَلَى مَا فَرَّطْتُ فِي جَنْبِ اللَّهِ وَإِنْ كُنْتُ لَمِنَ السَّاخِرِينَ (56)
[Quran - Surah:39 - az-Zumar - Verses:53-56]
But for Allah to forgive you, know this: it is not accepted to ask Allah’s forgiveness while persistence in committing the same sin. Verily, it is like a man who commits adultery or wrongs himself, then says, “My Lord, forgive and have mercy on me, for You are the Best of Merciful.” Yet Allah, The One, The Almighty, will not forgive him_even if he asks for forgiveness a billion times a day_so long as he insists on the very act, he seeks forgiveness for. For how can Allah forgive him while he remains stubborn in doing what Allah hates and forbids? That’s why Allah, The Exalted said:
وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا فَعَلُوا فَاحِشَةً أَوْ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ ذَكَرُوا اللَّهَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا لِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَمَنْ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَلَمْ يُصِرُّوا عَلَى مَا فَعَلُوا وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ (135)
[Quran - Surah:3 - Al-Imran - Verse:135]
And whoever sincerely asks Allah’s forgiveness for a specific sin while truly intending never to return to it_Allah will forgive that sin. For Allah considers the present intention of His servant: does he truly mean to abandon the sin and not persist in it? Thereafter, Allah grants him forgiveness_even if Allah knows that he will fall into that sin again, Allah pardons him without regard for his relapse. Even if the servant commits the sin again then sought forgiveness with genuine intent not to persist, Allah will once again forgive him unconcerned to the repetition of the sin. For Allah looks at the current intention of the heart of His servant at the time of asking forgiveness. Indeed, deeds are judged by intentions, and every soul receives according to what it intends. As long as the sinful servant seeks forgiveness for his sin, intending not to return to it, Allah surely will forgive him even if Allah knows that he will return to that sin again. And I will illustrate this with an example from the Word of Allah, The Exalted:
هُوَ الَّذِي يُسَيِّرُكُمْ فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنْتُمْ فِي الْفُلْكِ وَجَرَيْنَ بِهِمْ بِرِيحٍ طَيِّبَةٍ وَفَرِحُوا بِهَا جَاءَتْهَا رِيحٌ عَاصِفٌ وَجَاءَهُمُ الْمَوْجُ مِنْ كُلِّ مَكَانٍ وَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ أُحِيطَ بِهِمْ دَعَوُا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ لَئِنْ أَنْجَيْتَنَا مِنْ هَذِهِ لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الشَّاكِرِينَ (22) فَلَمَّا أَنْجَاهُمْ إِذَا هُمْ يَبْغُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ
[Quran - Surah:10 - Yunus - Verses:22-23]
And the question that arises here is: Does this mean that Allah is unaware they will revert to their polytheism after He rescues them? Of course He is fully aware_glory be to Him! Yet, in their moment of crisis, they cry out to Him with wholehearted sincerity, both inwardly and outwardly. Allah, The Exalted said:
وَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ أُحِيطَ بِهِمْ دَعَوُا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ لَئِنْ أَنْجَيْتَنَا مِنْ هَذِهِ لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الشَّاكِرِينَ (22) فَلَمَّا أَنْجَاهُمْ إِذَا هُمْ يَبْغُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ
[Quran - Surah:10 - Yunus - Verses:22-23]
And Allah, The Exalted said:
أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ الْفُلْكَ تَجْرِي فِي الْبَحْرِ بِنِعْمَتِ اللَّهِ لِيُرِيَكُمْ مِنْ آيَاتِهِ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِكُلِّ صَبَّارٍ شَكُورٍ (31) وَإِذَا غَشِيَهُمْ مَوْجٌ كَالظُّلَلِ دَعَوُا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ فَلَمَّا نَجَّاهُمْ إِلَى الْبَرِّ فَمِنْهُمْ مُقْتَصِدٌ وَمَا يَجْحَدُ بِآيَاتِنَا إِلَّا كُلُّ خَتَّارٍ كَفُورٍ (32)
[Quran - Surah:31 - Luqman - Verses:31-32]
And Allah, The Exalted said:
قُلْ مَنْ يُنَجِّيكُمْ مِنْ ظُلُمَاتِ الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ تَدْعُونَهُ تَضَرُّعًا وَخُفْيَةً لَئِنْ أَنْجَانَا مِنْ هَذِهِ لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الشَّاكِرِينَ (63) قُلِ اللَّهُ يُنَجِّيكُمْ مِنْهَا وَمِنْ كُلِّ كَرْبٍ ثُمَّ أَنْتُمْ تُشْرِكُونَ (64)
[Quran - Surah:6 - al-An`am - Verses:63-64]
Thus, in this desperate moment of prayer, their hearts were pure, sincerely devoted to their Lord and turning back to Him in repentance, saying: “if our Lord rescues us from this, we will be ever grateful…” Thereafter, Allah rescues them because their intention was truthful. So, Allah forgives them and rescues them even though He knows that some of them will turn to their previous wrongdoings they used to do. Yet, Allah does not judge according to what He knows of the unseen. If Allah were to do so, He would not forgive anyone who did wrong. Rather, Allah only considers the present intention in the heart of His servants at the time of supplication and seeking forgiveness.
Yet in truth, they are liars. Truth seekers may ask me in astonishment: “how can they be liars when you affirmed that they were sincere in their supplication, both in heart and form? To that, the Imam Mahdi responds: in fact, they are lying in their belief, not speech. And because of their false belief, they will surely return to what they were forbidden from. To clarify the intended meaning of a False Belief, I shall present an example of a false belief held by the people of Hellfire. Allah, The Exalted said:
رَبَّنَا أَخْرِجْنَا مِنْهَا فَإِنْ عُدْنَا فَإِنَّا ظَالِمُونَ (107)
[Quran - Surah:23 - al-Mu'minun - Verse:107]
Also, Allah, The Exalted, said:
وَلَوْ رُدُّوا لَعَادُوا لِمَا نُهُوا عَنْهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ (28)
[Quran - Surah:6 - al-An`am - Verse:28]
Here arises a question for reason an rational mind: could they truly be pretending before their Lord? Can their lips speak falsehood while they scream in Fire? What would the answer of the reason for such a question? Surely, the verdict of the mind would be the following: “In this situation, it is neither logical nor sensible that they utter words that do not reflect what lies in their hearts and insist on the sins they were warned against. How could that be when they are crying out in the depths of Hellfire? Indeed, they must be sincere, truly desiring to return to life and walk a different path_one of righteousness rather than the evil they once pursued. They seek nothing more than a second chance … a chance never to return to the flames again.”
O People! What does Allah mean by His Word:
وَلَوْ رُدُّوا لَعَادُوا لِمَا نُهُوا عَنْهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ (28)
[Quran - Surah:6 - al-An`am - Verse:28]
So, is the meaning that they are lying in speech, or in belief? Verily, I give you the truthful verdict: Allah means that they are lying in their belief, for guidance is not theirs to claim _ without any conditioning or acknowledging Allah’s will _ that: if they were returned to the worldly life, they would surely act differently from how they had before. Indeed, they are lying in this conception as how could they be sure of that when guidance belongs to Allah who comes between a man and his heart! Yet, they are confident about themselves that if Allah were to release them from the Fire and return them to this world, they would act differently from the deeds that led them to the Hell; They claim that they would never return to such actions again. And so, if they were returned, Allah will turn away their hearts, causing them to fall back to what they once did_so that they may come to realize that they were indeed lying when they thought that guidance was theirs. For indeed, guidance belongs to Allah alone, the One who stands between a man and his heart.
Therefore, O people! They have deluded themselves by their certainty-based belief, believing they will never return to what they were forbidden from. And because of this certainty, they judged upon themselves that they are safe from returning to the same sins, saying:
رَبَّنَا أَخْرِجْنَا مِنْهَا فَإِنْ عُدْنَا فَإِنَّا ظَالِمُونَ (107)
[Quran - Surah:23 - al-Mu'minun - Verse:107]
Also, Allah, The Exalted, said:
وَلَوْ رُدُّوا لَعَادُوا لِمَا نُهُوا عَنْهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ (28)
[Quran - Surah:6 - al-An`am - Verse:28]
Allah is indicating that their inner conviction is flawed because they don't include any exceptions, such as saying: “If Allah wills, we will never return to evil again.” Instead, they made a definitive judgment about themselves, declaring:
رَبَّنَا أَخْرِجْنَا مِنْهَا فَإِنْ عُدْنَا فَإِنَّا ظَالِمُونَ (107)
[Quran - Surah:23 - al-Mu'minun - Verse:107]
Here, they do not know that Allah comes between a man and his heart, guiding hearts however He wills. Verily, this false belief led so many nations to ruin.
Let me offer you a parable: In this life, disbelievers often demand miraculous signs from the messengers of their Lord. They claim by promising the messengers that they will believe wholeheartedly if such signs were granted by Allah, undoubtedly. Yet such is a false belief, and nothing will change, for they do not grasp that their hearts are ultimately under the control of their Lord. How can they be sure that they would follow the truth-even if miracles were shown to them-when it is Allah who intervenes between a person and his heart? Allah, the Exalted said:
وَأَقْسَمُوا بِاللَّهِ جَهْدَ أَيْمَانِهِمْ لَئِنْ جَاءَتْهُمْ آيَةٌ لَيُؤْمِنُنَّ بِهَا قُلْ إِنَّمَا الْآيَاتُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَمَا يُشْعِرُكُمْ أَنَّهَا إِذَا جَاءَتْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ (109)
[Quran - Surah:6 - al-An`am - Verse:109]
Since it is a false belief, none of it will ever come to pass. Instead, Allah will grant His messengers miracles in response to their people’s demands_only to then harden the hearts of those diving in this deception, driving them deeper into denial. And they will dismiss it all, saying, ‘This is nothing but a clear magic.’ Allah, The Exalted said:
وَأَقْسَمُوا بِاللَّهِ جَهْدَ أَيْمَانِهِمْ لَئِنْ جَاءَتْهُمْ آيَةٌ لَيُؤْمِنُنَّ بِهَا قُلْ إِنَّمَا الْآيَاتُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَمَا يُشْعِرُكُمْ أَنَّهَا إِذَا جَاءَتْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ (109) وَنُقَلِّبُ أَفْئِدَتَهُمْ وَأَبْصَارَهُمْ كَمَا لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِهِ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَنَذَرُهُمْ فِي طُغْيَانِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ (110)
[Quran - Surah:6 - al-An`am -Verse:109-110]
Do you comprehend now the true interpretation of the Word of Allah, The Exalted:
وَلَوْ رُدُّوا لَعَادُوا لِمَا نُهُوا عَنْهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ (28)
[Quran - Surah:6 - al-An`am - Verse:28]
This means that their falsehood lies not in their spoken words, but in the very foundation of their belief. Verily, they do not say other than what they really intend to do, for uttering other than the intention and persisting on sin while burning defies reason and logic. How could they possibly lie to their Lord while suffering in a blazing Fire fueled by men and stones? No, by the Lord of all worlds, they harbor not the slightest intention to deceive Allah. On the contrary, they sincerely implore Him to return them to life so they may live righteously and undo their past. Yet they held misconception from the start; it was never rooted in truth, as they should know that Allah comes between a person and his heart, and that is why guidance belongs to Allah alone. As affirmed in the Words of Allah, the Exalted:
وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَحُولُ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَقَلْبِهِ وَأَنَّهُ إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ (24)
[Quran - Surah:8 - al-Anfal - Verse:24]
O Supporters of the Imam Mahdi, beware of falling into the illusion that you are immune to falsehood after recognizing that the statements of Imam Mahdi Nasser Muhammad Al-Yemeni are indeed the true interpretation of the Glorious Qur’an. For if you do so, Allah will cause your hearts to stray, so that you may realize that he indeed comes between a person and his heart. O assembly of the foremost righteous supporters_rather, you should say :
رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْوَهَّابُ (8) رَبَّنَا إِنَّكَ جَامِعُ النَّاسِ لِيَوْمٍ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُخْلِفُ الْمِيعَادَ (9)
[Quran - Surah:3 - Al-Imran - Verses:8-9]
O Assembly of the foremost righteous supporters! I, the Imam Mahdi will journey to a people who have transgressed against another people, seeking to restore peace between them. If one of the two parties ceases its aggression, then we shall fight the transgressing side until it yields to the command of Allah. Alongside the Imam Mahdi march thousands of warriors from his own people, each bearing their own provisions, we just prepare whatever heavy arms we are able to gather. And thank god, today we acquired two powerful pieces of weaponry; one is known as the 14.5 caliber, and the other is a long-range 23 caliber, designed for warfare and capable of serving as anti-aircraft defense. Moreover, all thanks to god that we already possess other types of heavy weaponry, including various categories such as the katyusha rocket launcher, the 12.7 mm heavy machine gun, B-10 rifles. Therefore, what I wish to say to the assembly of supporters who may hear of this and ask: “Why is Imam Mahdi Nasser Muhammad Al-Yemeni involved in a war between his tribe and another?” Then Imam Mahdi Nasser Muhammad Al-Yemeni will respond to them with the truth and say: “By Allah, besides whom there is no god, that if I didn’t know this war was to defend the oppressed against the oppressors, I wouldn’t have armed it. The oppressed man is a supplicant/refugee, seeking the tribal chief's protection and justice. He does not belong to my clan, yet he is not even a supplicant of my clan, rather, he is a supplicant of another clan that belongs to our grand tribe. He came in sorrow, seeking justice, for another clan had wronged his clan. Verily, another group of people had murdered a man and even a woman from among his people. We mourned, saying “To Allah we all belong and to Him we shall return.” But then came the greater calamity when he informed me that the aggressors refused even a few days of truce, rejecting any chance for reconciliation. And so, when those guilty of bloodshed refuse even the call for peace, how can I not prepare for war?
Behold! it is true that the Imam Mahdi ranks among the most patient and forbearing of all people, yet, I swear by Allah; who there is no deity but Him_whenever the sacred laws of Allah are violated and injustice is inflicted upon fellow human beings, my anger burns with unmatched intensity. I swear by Allah, in such moments, they will witness a different side of Imam Mahdi Nasser Muhammad Al-Yemeni; a man of unshakable strength, who strikes with the force of iron. I do not care what fate befalls me so long as it is in defense of Allah’s cause. So, do not mistake my patience for weakness. While I may overlook personal harm, insults, or slander, I will never turn a blind eye to transgressions against the boundaries set by Allah, never! Indeed, whoever overstep Allah’s limits bring harm only upon themselves. Still, my ability to command right and forbid wrong is bound by what Allah has empowered me to do thus far, for He does not burden any soul beyond its capacity. In confirmation to the Word of Allah, The Exalted:
الَّذِينَ إِنْ مَكَّنَّاهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ أَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتَوُا الزَّكَاةَ وَأَمَرُوا بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَنَهَوْا عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَلِلَّهِ عَاقِبَةُ الْأُمُورِ (41)
[Quran - Surah:22 - al-Hajj - Verse:41]
The Imam Mahdi had to announce this event on his global website to prevent Allah's enemies from exploiting it. They would surely say: “Why would Nasser Muhammad Al-Yemeni, who claims to be the Awaited Mahdi promoting world peace, then resort to large-caliber weapons to aid his tribe in a war against another, especially when all are believers?” hence, the Imam Mahdi replies: “Allah, The Exalted said:
وَإِنْ طَائِفَتَانِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اقْتَتَلُوا فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَهُمَا فَإِنْ بَغَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا عَلَى الْأُخْرَى فَقَاتِلُوا الَّتِي تَبْغِي حَتَّى تَفِيءَ إِلَى أَمْرِ اللَّهِ فَإِنْ فَاءَتْ فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَهُمَا بِالْعَدْلِ وَأَقْسِطُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطِينَ (9)
[Quran - Surah:49 - al-Hujurat - Verse:9]
O Questioners! Seek the truth and tell us: who has committed this heinous crime; the murder of a woman and a man, and when some stepped forward to mediate for peace, the victims’ kin responded in good faith, for peace is always better? Yet the true catastrophe struck when the criminals arrogantly rejected peace, aiming to drive the grieving people from their homes, seize their land, and ignite the flames of war. But we are here to face them. We shall not weaken, nor shall we fall. We are the victorious by the word of Allah, the Almighty, the All-Wise. I thank God that this war was not over a member of the grand tribe of the Awaited Mahdi. Rather, it was for the sake of another people who came to our clan seeking protection and justice against another clan which murdered some of them and intended to uproot them. How can we then turn our backs on them after being certain that they were truly wronged and their rights were violated? How can we ignore the oppressed when we have the ability to help, by the grace of Allah, The Almighty, The All-Wise? Excuse me, O assembly of supporters! Would you approve if others oppressed against one of you, expelled him from his land and home, and killed his men and women? Similarly, this oppressed man_whom a people wronged due to their tyranny, arrogance, and pride, for they are wealthy and consider him poor and inferior (to them) in lineage-is our supplicant. Thus, his protection is obligatory upon us.
I swear by Allah, The Great, Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them and Lord of the great throne, that I will surely assist this weak and oppressed man, especially after I have come to know with certainty that he is indeed oppressed, aiding him with all my strength. So do not grieve, O foremost righteous supporters! for by Allah, as soon as the oppressors heard this very day that Sheikh Nasser Muhammad had purchased a long-range weapon of 23 caliber that repels the enemy from afar, and a medium-range 14.5 caliber machine gun with intense bombardment, they began to submit and accept mediation to resolve the dispute between the two clans. However, there are still some of them who want war, and we do not know what the mediation will achieve. I may be absent from the website starting tomorrow due to my occupation with preparing for war, in support of the oppressed against the oppressor. Indeed, victory is only from Allah, The Almighty, The All-Wise. So, do not feel sad, O my supporters, for by Allah, besides whom there is no god, no one can kill Imam Mahdi, Nasser Muhammad Al-Yemeni, except by the leave of Allah, until Allah completes His light through His servant, even though the criminals detest His appearance. Certainly, we shall return by the permission of Allah, for all affairs return to Allah.
