Arab Christians: After Deafening Silence, They Spoke Blasphemy

The news  pointed to the initial silence of Arab Christians in response to the announcement by the Mahdi Abdullah Hashem, Aba al-Sadiq, who proclaimed himself as the new and true Pope. It also highlighted that Arab Christians, like Sunni and Shia Muslims, have long grown accustomed to silence, submission, and servility before political regimes and religious authorities of all kinds, despite living under oppression, suffering, and marginalization. Like the “mute devil”, they do not speak out. The deep influence of these regimes and institutions has extinguished within them the inner spark of revolution for truth, justice, and dignity, and the drive to act seriously and consistently toward the divine transformation of this world.

However, the Arabic-language channel “Imam Mahdi Appeared”  broadcasted a series of speeches by Aba al-Sadiq announcing the rise of the true Pope and unveiling the Antichrist. In these speeches, Aba al-Sadiq called upon all those who claim faith in God—especially Jews, Christians, and Muslims—to sincerely ask God about him. The channel provided detailed explanations of these speeches through the various programs and leveraged social media to spread the message in Arabic as widely as possible.

This sparked reactions from some Christian viewers and followers, who began to respond to what they heard from Aba al-Sadiq. Interestingly, some of these responses came from Egyptian Christians—from Egypt, the homeland of the true Pope, the companion of Egypt, and the Mahdi.

There were several calls and conversations with the various presenters. One such example is a dialogue that took place during an episode of the show” Abdal al-Sham”, titled “Christians and Muslims are Brothers”.

 A caller named Mario, a Christian guest, expressed his views on Aba al-Sadiq’s message:

 “First of all, peace of Christ be upon you all and may the Lord bless you. But what you speak of, in your own terms and concepts, does not concern us. We have one Lord, one faith, one Church, and one Pope. Anything else is completely irrelevant to us Christians. So please, enough with the heresy and innovation... The Mahdi means nothing to us, and neither do any of you—except as fellow human beings. So please, no more heresy.”

This was the first message from Christians in response to Aba al-Sadiq’s invitation to recognize him as their messenger from Jesus, then follow and obey him.

What’s peculiar, however, is that the guest fell into a major fallacy—one that many Christians themselves would not agree with. His claim of "one Lord, one faith, one Church, and one Pope" is, in fact, a form of heresy itself, for this has never been the reality of Christianity. It is well known that Christians are divided into multiple denominations and churches. Each church has its own leadership, followers, and distinct beliefs regarding God, Christ, the Virgin Mary, the Holy Spirit, and more. Moreover, Christians are far from united under a single pope. There are denominations with millions of adherents—such as Protestants—who do not acknowledge the Pope or the legitimacy of the Catholic Church.

To the Catholic audience, a critical question arises: how can you believe that the Pope is a figure who represents Christ in this era, seated on the throne of Christ through a vote conducted by a group of cardinals—rather than by appointment from Christ or His chosen ones? How can you entrust your salvation to a pope who calls you to choose the “lesser of two evils”?

It is worth watching this lecture titled “Is Democracy a Religion?” by the true  Pope Abdullah Hashem regarding the fatwa issued by Pope Francis before his death, where he instructed Christians to vote for the “lesser of two evils” in the recent U.S. elections.

If Christ was  present today, would He really guide His followers toward the lesser of two evils?

Would Christ approve of wars waged in His name by those claiming to follow Him—like George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush—wars promoted as "holy," that killed many, wreaked havoc, looted lands, and spread corruption?

Would Christ accept wars and conflicts waged in the name of God, Himself, and His fellow messengers—especially His brother the Comforter, Muhammad, the Prophet of Islam—resulting in the deaths of innocents, children, and the poor? Would Christ approve of wealthy Christians amassing and hoarding wealth while vast segments of humanity live in hunger and poverty? Could Christ Himself bear a golden scepter in hand while preaching about the poor? Would Christ approve of the genocide of entire peoples in His name, or the enslavement of races—as happened to Africans under Christian justifications sanctioned by the Church? All these acts were blessed by the Church—but they could never have been blessed by Christ.

Therefore, no church that endorsed these acts can truly represent Christ or be guided by the Holy Spirit.

The guest reaffirms: “The Mahdi does not concern us. I repeat—if you believe in him, that’s your business. Don’t involve Christians in this matter.”

Brother Amer al-Mahdi responds: “We are the true Christians, not you. You follow a false religion, not the religion of Christ.”

The guest reacts with hysterical laughter and mockery.

Yet those who mocked Christ in his time were the scribes and Pharisees—whom he called vipers, hypocrites, and children of the devil. The recurring claim by the guest—that “the Mahdi does not concern us”—is, in truth, contradicted by reality. They are in dire need of the Mahdi, the true Pope Abdullah Hashem, who is the savior and reformer. He can help Christians overcome their divisions, disagreements, and mutual animosity.

This refutes the guest’s initial claim entirely—about Christians being united under one Church and one Pope. History itself still bears witness to the conflicts among Christian denominations. One can see a symbol of this disunity in Jerusalem, specifically in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

In 1808, a massive fire broke out in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, causing significant damage due to violent disputes among Christian sects fighting for influence within the church. Muslims intervened to extinguish the fire, quell the conflict, and guard the church. It remained closed for two years until it was restored. Muslims even took part in the re-opening ceremony. Since then, the key to the church has been held by a Muslim family from Jerusalem—considered a neutral party to resolve disputes between Christian sects over control and precedence in ceremonies.

Then came this comment from another guest, “Super Chef,” on the same episode…

@superchef8048:

When the beginnings are incorrect, the conclusions cannot be right.

1. Jesus Christ is not the "Isa" mentioned in the Quran.

2. As long as you limit Christ’s attributes to prophethood alone, you have severed all ties with Christians—for Jesus Christ is our Lord and God. Any call that claims otherwise is from Satan.

"But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse!" (Galatians 1:8–9)

"For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified." (1 Corinthians 2:2)

"He has delivered us from the dominion of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by Him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible—whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. He is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything He might be preeminent. For in Him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of His cross." (Colossians 1:13–20)

I know that the Apostle Paul is a source of irritation and chronic discomfort for you. But Paul did not preach anything contrary to the teachings of Christ—otherwise, we would have found disagreement between him and the other disciples. Yet this never happened, even after his death. John the Beloved remained alive after Paul’s death and never opposed his teachings or ideas.

We view with astonishment the deep attachment many Christians have to Paul rather than to Jesus Christ Himself or to His words and teachings. When did Christ ever declare Himself to be the Absolute God? Every word He spoke pointed to the Father—to His glory, His will, and the fulfilment of His purpose.

Paul was never appointed as an apostle by Christ, nor did he ever meet Him. He was a Jewish Pharisee, a vehement enemy of Christ and His followers. He persecuted and killed Christians, and he consistently opposed Simon Peter, the designated successor of Christ, thereby hindering Peter in his divine mission to establish the first Christian community and the original Church of Christ after the Ascension.

It was Paul who authored nearly half of the New Testament and, in doing so, altered the core of Christianity. He introduced laws and practices never prescribed by Christ—mandating the veil for women, abolishing circumcision, and most significantly, he was the first to inject into Christian thought the doctrine that Christ’s crucifixion was an absolute necessity to atone for human sin and erase Adam’s sin. Yet Christ came to establish a divine covenant through divine commandments and to manifest the Kingdom of God here on earth. If His death were the predetermined path, why then did He kneel in prayer, asking for the cup to pass from Him?

Paul, in essence, represents the false prophet whom Christ warned against. The leaders and heads of churches who are not appointed by Christ or by His trustees in any age are the very false prophets of whom Christ spoke. Anyone who exploits the name and teachings of Christ without divine appointment—who distorts the message for personal or institutional gain at the expense of humanity—is a false prophet.

In order to complete the mission of enlightening Christians and awakening them from spiritual slumber and death, messengers of theMahdi  divine call have been dispatched throughout the world—to proclaim the truth and invite all to the Messenger of Christ and the Comforter in this time: Abdullah Hashem Aba al-Sadiq.

Sister Rahma reached out to one of the prominent figures of the Coptic Church, known for his television program broadcast on the satellite channel al-Fadi. In it, he devotes much of his speech to inciting hatred and animosity among Christians toward the Prophet Muhammad and Muslims. He brazenly mocks and falsely accuses the Prophet, speaks blasphemously of the Qur’an, and vilifies Islam with slander and contempt.

This figure is Zakaria Botros, a priest of the Coptic Orthodox Church. His rhetoric has provoked widespread discontent among both Christians and Muslims alike. Indeed, some bishops have publicly distanced themselves from him and warned of the dangerous consequences of his divisive and hate-filled discourse.

What is especially astonishing is that this priest—already discredited and rejected by many—took it upon himself to attack the divine call and Aba al-Sadiq, who is known in the Old Testament  as the Righteous Servant and the Suffering Servant, and in tradition of Mohammad and Al-Mohammad (peace be upon them) as The Egyptian, The Companion of  Egypt, The Mahdi, and The Riser (al-Qa’im). He accused him of deceit and employed shallow, mocking rhetoric in doing so.

For the sake of Christians, Aba al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) responded to the malicious suspicions and falsehoods propagated by this priest. We invite all to watch this important lecture in which Aba al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) refutes the priest’s baseless claims and clarifies key misconceptions that even the priest himself failed to articulate clearly in his response to Sister Rahma.

At the close of this article, we quote a prayer from Aba al-Sadiq’s  speech "Ask God About Me", may the  hearts of christians as well of muslims and of everyone called towards the speech and  this article  be illuminated, drawn to the truth, and may they recognize the signs and prostrate before the Ever-Living One, who never dies:

“I ask God Subhanahu wa Taalah, the Holy Spirit, Jesus, the prophets and the messengers, the archangels above to testify on my behalf and to show the people a sign that Iam sincere and Iam truly who I say Iam if I am... Give them a sign on earth, O Lord. Expose one of these evil scholars and world leaders in public scandal or cause one of them to pass away unexpectedly so these people may believe. Give them a sign in the heavens that will leave their necks stretched towards the sky so that they may believe. Give them a sign in their own selves and grant them dreams or give them signs in their lives that verify that I told the truth”
