In recent years, a figure named Abdullah Hashem has emerged, asserting himself as the Mahdi, the awaited savior in Islamic eschatology. Leading the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light (AROPL), Hashem's teachings blend elements of Twelver Shia Islam, Gnostic Christianity, and Western esotericism. He claims to be the Qāʾim Āl-Muḥammad (the Riser of the Family of Muhammad), a position he believes was foretold in the will of the Prophet Muhammad .
One of Hashem's most controversial assertions is his claim to be the successor to Simon Peter, positioning himself as the true and legitimate Pope. This aligns with the medieval "Prophecy of the Popes," attributed to Saint Malachy, which predicts that the final pope will be "Peter the Roman" and will lead during a time of great tribulation and the destruction of Rome. Hashem's attempt to claim this mantle raises significant concerns, especially when considering the parallels to biblical prophecies.
The Book of Revelation describes a figure who appears as a lamb but speaks like a dragon, a deceptive leader who initially seems benign but reveals a destructive nature. Hashem's self-proclaimed roles and titles echo this description, suggesting that he may be a modern embodiment of this prophetic figure.
Furthermore, Hashem's teachings incorporate elements that challenge traditional Islamic beliefs, such as the concept of reincarnation, the idea that the Ka'aba is located in Petra, Jordan, and the acceptance of LGBTQ individuals within his religious framework . These deviations from orthodox Islam, combined with his controversial claims, position him as a figure of concern in both Islamic and Christian eschatological contexts.
In conclusion, Abdullah Hashem's assertions and the beliefs of the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light warrant close scrutiny. His claims to be the Mahdi, the successor to Simon Peter, and his alignment with prophecies like that of Saint Malachy suggest that he may be a significant figure in the unfolding of end-times events. It is essential for individuals of all faiths to be aware of such developments and to approach them with discernment and caution.
I just saw him rant on to tell people vote him as Pope so if he is not The Antichrist he is giving his best to try be him.
