– Ahmed Al-Hasan

He is a descendant of Muhammad, the son of Al-Hasan, who is the 12th Vicegerent of God after Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon them. Some examples of these scriptures include:
Shia Muslims: He is the promised Yamani, a pivotal figure in the end times who raises the banner of truth before the return of the 12th Vicegerent of God, Imam Muhammad, son of Al-Hasan. His allegiance is obligatory for all believers.
Sunni Muslims: He is the Mahdi, prophesied to be born in the end times, whose arrival was foretold by Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. He is the one who will establish truth and justice after the world has been filled with falsehood and tyranny.
Christians: He is the Comforter promised by Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, as mentioned in the Gospel.
Jews: He is the Savior foretold by the prophet Elijah.
The Divine Mission and Proofs
Imam Ahmed Al-Hasan has presented his evidence using the same proofs employed by prophets and God’s vicegerents before him:
Divine Text: He is explicitly mentioned in the last Will of Prophet Muhammad, providing a foundational scriptural proof of his legitimacy (Refer: Last Will of Prophet Muhammad). Additionally, God has testified to his truth through numerous visions and revelations experienced by people across the globe (Example: Testimonies and Visions).
Knowledge: He has authored over 40 books that delve into profound aspects of divine knowledge, addressing correct beliefs, and refuting falsehoods, including atheism. His works clarify widespread misconceptions, whether among religious communities or proponents of atheism, challenging even prominent scientists like Stephen Hawking, Richard Dawkins, and Lawrence Krauss.

Supremacy of God: His teachings consistently emphasize the supremacy of Almighty God, advocating for the correct beliefs as entrusted by God Himself. For a deeper understanding, refer to his work For the Supremacy of God.
The Purpose of His Call
The purpose of this call is the same as that of Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad, may the prayers of God be upon them all. The purpose of the prophets and the messengers is for monotheism to spread in every place on this earth. This is his purpose, as is the clarification of the Torah, the Gospel, the Quran, and the matters that people disagreed about, and for the earth to be filled with justice and fairness, just as it has been filled with tyranny and oppression. It is also his purpose that the hungry are fed, that the poor do not remain without shelter, that the orphans find joy after their prolonged sadness, and that the widows find or fulfill their financial need with dignity and integrity. And the most important matter is that laws be applied with justice, mercy, and honesty.
From the Book: Musaylimah in a New Garment:
The everlasting way of God requires for His vicegerent to be known through a divine and decisive law which would never fall behind its companion, nor have its links broken not even for a single day, in order that a false claimant would be able to claim it or claim one of its links. The links of the divine law are the text, the knowledge, and the banner of allegiance to God. And God has made the vicegerents known in His Holy Book by these links.
Timeline of the Call
2002:
The call was officially announced by Ahmed Al-Hasan, marking the beginning of a significant movement. In response, the Saddam Hussein regime intensified its efforts to suppress the call, forcing Ahmed Al-Hasan into a period of seclusion. During this time, only a few individuals, notably Sheikh Nadhim Al-Uqaili, managed to maintain contact despite facing significant challenges.
2003:
Following the fall of Saddam’s regime, the call of the Mahdi experienced a resurgence across various regions. Key figures such as Hussain and Jubori (also known as Abo Sajjad) were instrumental in this revival. Sheikh Habeeb Al-Mokhtar provided a dedicated space in Hayy Al-Naser for the call’s activities. Ahmed Al-Hasan met with the believers, students of the Hawza, and others while residing near the Al-Sahla mosque in Kufa, Iraq.
2006:
As the situation became increasingly dangerous due to hostile fatwas from certain religious authorities, Ahmed Al-Hasan was compelled to find a safer location. Ahmed Al-Hasan and his family moved to live in the outskirts of Najaf. This period marked a new phase in the call, with public engagements becoming more restricted. Direct contact with the public and leading Friday prayers in mosques or hussainiyahs was no longer possible. Instructions and updates were relayed through trusted individuals, while communication with the official office of Al-Mahdi in Najaf continued.
2007:
Ahmed Al-Hasan’s residence was attacked by military forces shortly after he and his family had vacated the premises. The attack, executed without legal justification, resulted in the wrongful arrest of a neighbor who was unaware of Ahmed Al-Hasan’s identity. This incident marked a period of heightened adversity.
2008–2012:
Following the 2007 attack, communication with the Ansar was largely restricted to indirect channels. Ahmed Al-Hasan maintained contact through trusted individuals, the official office in Najaf, and the official Facebook page. This period was characterized by continued challenges and limited public visibility.
2015:
Ahmed Al-Hasan founded the Riser Brigades, which fought alongside the Iraqi Army against ISIS. According to police in Dhi Qar Governorate, a number of officers and members of the security forces were among the believers in Ahmed Al-Hasan.
2018–2019:
Ahmed Al-Hasan called for a peaceful revolution to radically change the corrupt and authoritarian regime in Iraq. This movement achieved several notable outcomes:
Government Accountability: The call disciplined both local and central government officials, creating a significant impact on the corrupt parties responsible for Iraq’s troubles. This led to a crackdown on protests and a dramatic shift in the positions of key figures such as the Iraqi Prime Minister and the governor of Basra.
Public Hope: The Iraqi public, inspired by non-political and non-sectarian protests, gained renewed hope. The movement offered a vision of change, untainted by political or religious affiliations, resonating with a broad segment of the population.
Empowered Women: The protests saw substantial participation from women, particularly in Basra. Their involvement inspired women across provinces, demonstrating their strength and capability in driving change.
Youth Awareness: The youth displayed significant awareness by withdrawing from protests when corrupt party-affiliated groups attempted to sabotage and manipulate the demonstrations for their own ends.
2023- Present Day
Forces affiliated with the framework government shut down Ahmed Al-Hasan’s office and orphan association in Najaf. This act of oppression represents a continued injustice against those practicing their beliefs, which is a fundamental right of every human being.
