Brother Idnan from Birmingham, UK, who believed in Ahmed Al-Hassan 15 years ago and has steadfastly followed the path of truth, has demonstrated his devotion by naming his own child—the most precious gift to a family—after his revered Imam.
Idnan's journey of faith deepened when a close friend informed him about a man from Basra, Iraq, who claimed to be the Yamani and to have met Imam Mahdi. After contemplating the message of Ahmad Al-Hassan and his Dawah, Idnan experienced visions that confirmed his belief in him.
Imam Al-Baqir (a.s.) is reported to have said: "There is no banner more guided than the banner of the Yamani. It is the Banner of Guidance because it calls you to Imam Al-Mahdi. When the Yamani appears, he will forbid the selling of weapons for all the people and for the Muslims as well. And when the Yamani rises, you are to join him because his banner is the banner of guidance. It is not permissible for any Muslim to turn away from him, and whoever does will be from the people of hell because he calls to the truth and to the straight path." – Ghaybah al-Numani, p. 264 (online version: p. 256).
Convinced by this narration, Idnan believed the Yamani would indeed be the one to guide him to the Imam of his time. The claim of Ahmad Al-Hassan being the only one to fulfill the will of Prophet Mohammed was compelling evidence for him. He also noted that no scholar or speaker in traditional religious gatherings mentioned this matter. When Abdullah Hashem claimed to be the second Mahdi, also mentioned in the will, it resonated deeply with Idnan, especially given Abdullah’s prominent role in proclaiming the arrival of the Yamani. Idnan had long been an admirer of Abdullah’s work, particularly The Arrivals series, which gained widespread attention for exposing the Illuminati. His faith was further strengthened by personal visions of the Qaim, Abdullah Aba Al-Sadiq.
Enthusiastic about his newfound conviction, Idnan shared these proofs, which he believed were as clear as day, as Jafar Sadiq (a.s.) had once clarified. However, it has been a challenge for his family and friends to accept this call. Despite their resistance, Idnan has remained steadfast in his belief. Inspired by Aba Al-Sadiq's discussion on the significance of the name "Israel" and how it had been neglected, Idnan felt called to reclaim it. As a result, he named his newborn son Ahmad Hassan Israel, a reflection of his dedication to his faith.
