Is the Yamani- the Qa'im (the Riser) of the Family of Muhammad?
The Clear Refutation of Ibn Kate'a
Is
the Yamani the Qa'im (the Riser) of the Family of Muhammad?
And
Is He Infallible by Appointment?
By
Sheikh
Ali Al Aasan
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Praise
be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. And may prayers and peace be upon our
master and prophet Muhammad and his pure and purified family.
After
much discussion about the so-called Ahmad Ismail Kate'a and the false claims
and lies he brought, which reached more than 50 false claims for which Allah
has sent down no authority, the Specialized Studies Center in Imam Mahdi saw
the necessity to confront and expose the falsehood of these claims and refute
them. This is not because what he brought are scientific matters relying on
logical proof and evidence. Rather, you will find in the depths of his claims
nothing but falsehood, deception, lies, slander, and selective reliance on
narrations. His books and the books of his followers are the best witness to
what we say.
Instead,
it is because false ideas may find room in some weak souls. Therefore, they
need some clarification and explanation of the foundations and values, and to
show the principles that the scientific method relies upon in human history in
general and for the religious community in particular. In addition, it is to
present the conclusive proof against those deceived by him and those who follow
his footsteps, so that no one may say: "If only you had sent to us a
messenger and established for us a clear guide so we could follow Your signs
before we were humbled and disgraced." (Quranic verse, 20:134)
Therefore,
publishing this booklet to refute Ibn Kate'a is considered a link in the chain
of confronting the people of religious innovation and deviation, in addition to
the rest of the Center's activities in refuting doubts through its website,
social media pages, the newspaper 'Sada Al-Mahdi', and others.
We
ask Him, the Exalted, for steadfastness upon the truth: "O Turner of
hearts, make our hearts firm upon Your religion."

Abdul Razzaq Al-Dairaawi said under the title (The Yamani is the
Qa'im of the family of Muhammad and the Mahdi of the end times):
(It
is reported in Al-Kafi from Abu Abdullah (peace be upon him), who said:
"Every banner raised before the rising of the Qa'im, its bearer is a
tyrant who is worshiped besides Allah." (1)

Commentary
and Research:
Seyyed
Mahdi Mojtahedi Sistani
According
to the noble narrations of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them), Almighty Allah
has placed signs for the reappearance of our great master, the Remnant of
Allah, Imam al-Mahdi (may Allah hasten his reappearance). Al-Shaykh al-Saduq
narrates with his chain from Muhammad ibn Muslim: I heard Imam al-Sadiq (peace
be upon him) say: "Before the Qa'im (the one who rises), there will be
signs from Allah for the believers."¹
Sometimes,
events occurring in the contemporary world cause us to pause and reflect on the
signs of the reappearance of Imam al-Mahdi (peace be upon him); a pause under
whose shade the researcher gains a deep and correct perspective on the
knowledge of identifying the signs.
The
deep perspective that a researcher gains through the correct study of the signs
of the reappearance has two tangible and valuable results: Firstly, it can
answer the set of questions and conjectures that arise in his mind due to the
occurrence of these events; and secondly, it can take hold of and manage and
frame the misguided efforts of some of our believing brothers in equating the
events of today's world with the signs of the reappearance and making wrongful
correlations, and even reducing the personalities of the era of the
reappearance to the level of specific individuals and similar matters.
Such
correlations are certainly not correct, and one must pause regarding such
events, strive as much as possible, and prevent people from such behavior with
the narrations of the reappearance. These teachings always require the
existence of specialists, and in such matters, one must refer to specialized
and expert individuals. The status and position of this knowledge are like
other sciences and crafts; and among the behaviors that humanity is accustomed
to and the manner of the wise is based upon, is referring to the experts and
specialists in every craft and knowledge.
On
the other hand, in addition to the findings and events occurring in the
surrounding world, through which minds are drawn to the signs of the
reappearance, narrations have also reached us that call us to recognize the
signs of the reappearance of Imam al-Mahdi (peace be upon him); among them is a
narration that Al-Shaykh al-Kulayni narrates with his chain from our master
Imam al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) who said: "Recognize the sign; for if
you recognize him, whether this matter is hastened or delayed, no harm will
come to you."¹
Undoubtedly,
the meaning of the Imam's (peace be upon him) statement: "Recognize,"
according to the reliable opinion, is a recommended and preferable command; and
therefore, this narration always serves to portray the recognition of the signs
of the reappearance as good and recommended for the believers.¹
• Criteria
for Valuing the Culture of the Signs of the Reappearance
If
it is asked: "Why is delving into the knowledge of the signs of the
reappearance valuable and important?" Three reasons can be given for the
importance and value of the knowledge of the signs of the reappearance, and it
can be said as follows:
First
Criterion: Guiding from Knowing the Sign to Knowing the Sign-Bearer
It
is perfectly clear that the existence of a sign for something indicates the
existence of that thing; and many examples can be given in this regard; such as
the existence of roadside signs that inform us of the existence of specific
places like petrol
Al-Mahdi al-Montazar (The Awaited Mahdi)
1. Who is Imam Mahdi?
Imam Mahdi (عج) is the 12th Imam from the family of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ).
His full name is:
Muhammad ibn Hasan al-Askari
He was born in 255 AH (869 CE) and is still alive by the will of Allah.
He is in occultation (hidden) and will appear near the end of time to bring justice, peace, and true Islam to the world.
2. Why is Imam Mahdi Hidden?
Imam Mahdi went into occultation to protect his life because:
-
The Abbasid rulers wanted to kill him
-
Previous Imams were imprisoned or poisoned
-
His mission is very important
Allah hid him until the right time.
3. Two Periods of Occultation
The occultation happened in two stages:
Minor Occultation (874–941 CE)
During this time, Imam Mahdi communicated through four special deputies.
Major Occultation (after 941 CE)
After the death of the fourth deputy, Imam Mahdi stopped direct contact.
Now, Muslims must follow qualified Shia scholars (Marjaʿ) for religious guidance.
4. Signs of Imam Mahdi’s Reappearance
Before Imam Mahdi appears, many signs will happen, such as:
-
Widespread injustice
-
Moral corruption
-
Wars and ظلم (oppression)
-
ظهور السفياني (appearance of Sufyani)
-
A heavenly call announcing the Mahdi
These signs prepare people for his arrival.
5. Mission of Imam Mahdi
When Imam Mahdi appears, he will:
-
Establish true justice
-
End oppression
-
Defeat false rulers
-
Revive real Islam
-
Unite Muslims
-
Fill the Earth with peace
Abdullah Hashem (Aba al-Sadiq) idea of a so-called “Seventh and Final Covenant”
A detailed Shia Islamic refutation of the “Seventh Covenant” claim by Aba al-Sadiq (Abdullah Hashem). Using Qur’an, Ahlul Bayt (ع), and classical Shia scholarship, this article exposes the false Mahdi narrative, altered rituals, and fabricated jurisprudence.
Introduction
According to Abdullah Hashem (Aba al-Sadiq) claim, Islam’s traditional laws, rituals, and beliefs are outdated and must be replaced by a new divine system.
From a Shia Islamic perspective, this narrative directly contradicts:
The Qur’an
The teachings of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
The guidance of the Ahlul Bayt (ع)
Classical Shia scholarship
This article provides a clear, academic, and human-readable refutation based on authentic Shia sources.
1. Is There a “Final Covenant” After Islam?
Qur’anic Position
“Today I have perfected your religion for you…”(Qur’an 5:3)
Islam is the final and complete religion. No new covenant can replace it.
Shia Scholarship
Imam Jaʿfar al-Sadiq (ع):
“There is no new religion after Muhammad.”(Al-Kafi, vol. 1)
Refutation
The Mahdi (عج) revives Islam — he does not create a new religion.
2. Can Islamic Law Be Abrogated?
The movement claims Islamic jurisprudence is outdated.
Qur’an
“Whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted from him.”(Qur’an 3:85)
Imam Ali (ع)
“The halal of Muhammad is halal until the Day of Judgment.”(Nahj al-Balagha)
Refutation
Is Abdullah Hashem the Divinely Appointed Leader?
Introduction
Abdullah Hashem (Aba Sadiq), claims to be:
The divinely appointed representative of Imam Mahdi
The fulfillment of end-time prophecies
The bearer of a “seventh covenant”
The only legitimate authority of God on Earth
He also teaches that:
Most Sunni and Shia scholars are traitors
Traditional Islamic law can be abandoned
Rejecting him equals rejecting Allah
These are extremely serious claims.
In Shia Islam, such matters must be judged only through the Qur’an, the Ahlul Bayt, and authentic scholarship.
This article provides a clear, academic, and respectful Shia refutation of these claims.
Does Islam Teach That Only God Appoints Leaders?
Yes. Shia Islam believes that true religious authority comes only from Allah.
“It is not for a believing man or woman to have a choice when Allah and His Messenger have decided a matter.”(Qur’an 33:36)
However, claiming divine appointment is not the same as proving it.
Imam Jaʿfar al-Sadiq (ع) said:
“Whoever calls people to himself while more knowledgeable people exist is a misguided innovator.”(Al-Kafi, vol. 1, p. 168)
A real divine representative is recognized through clear, authentic evidence, not self-promotion.
Does Rejecting Abdullah Hashem Mean Rejecting Allah?
Abdullah Hashem claims that rejecting him equals rejecting God.
This directly contradicts Shia theology.
Imam Ali (ع) said:
“There is no obedience to a creation if it means disobeying the Creator.”(Nahj al-Balagha, Sermon 165)
Is Abdullah Hashem Really God’s Chosen Successor?
In a recent sermon, Abdullah Hashem (also known as Aba-Sadiq) presents himself as the divinely appointed successor of Imam Mahdi (عج) and the “Riser of the family of Muhammad.” He claims to be part of a seventh and final covenant from God and says that rejecting him is the same as rejecting Allah Himself.
He also accuses most Muslim scholars of betrayal, says a secret will of the Prophet names him by name, and claims to possess divine knowledge and miracles.
But how do these claims hold up when we examine them through Shīʿī Islamic teachings?
Let’s explore this calmly and thoughtfully.
1. Yes, God Appoints Leaders – But Claims Need Proof
Shīʿī Muslims fully agree with one point Abdullah Hashem makes:
Only Allah appoints true leaders.
However, there is a big difference between:
Being appointed by God
Claiming to be appointed by God
Islam teaches us that divine leadership must be proven through:
Clear evidence
Consistency with the Qurʾān
The teachings of the Ahl al-Bayt
Recognized signs
Simply saying “I am chosen by God” does not make it true.
Throughout history, many people have made similar claims. The Imams warned us not to follow anyone who calls people to himself without solid proof.
2. Is Rejecting Abdullah Hashem the Same as Rejecting Allah?
Abdullah Hashem says that rejecting him means rejecting God’s rule.
But in Shīʿī Islam, rejecting Allah means rejecting:
The Qurʾān
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
The Twelve Imams
Islamic law (Sharīʿah)
A human being cannot place himself at the same level as divine guidance.
Especially when that person:
Cancels prayer
Cancels fasting
Cancels hijab
Changes Islamic practices
How can rejecting such changes be the same as rejecting Allah?
3. The “Will of the Prophet” and the 12 Mahdis Claim
A major part of Abdullah Hashem’s message is based on a so-called will of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ that allegedly names:
12 Imams
Followed by 12 Mahdis
With “Ahmed” and “Abdullah” mentioned
Here’s the problem:
This will does not exist in reliable Shīʿī sources
Classical scholars never taught it
It contradicts the belief in only 12 Imams
It appeared only in recent times
Shīʿī Islam teaches that any narration must be checked against the Qurʾān and authentic teachings. This “will” fails that test.
