I Once Was Lost But Now I Am Found

In this powerful narrative, Khaleed, a devoted follower of the AROPL, opens his heart to share a deeply personal journey. His story speaks to those who have felt lost, alienated, and in search of the divine. Originally from Tunisia, Khaleed's life is a compelling tale of struggle, redemption, and the ultimate embrace of truth through the call of Aba Al-Sadiq.

Khaleed was born in Tunisia during a time of economic and social turmoil. In the 1980s, austerity measures, corruption, and inflation devastated his homeland, forcing him to leave in search of a better life. Determined to escape the economic instability, Khaleed emigrated to Italy as a young man, but the promise of a new beginning there eluded him.

He later moved to Australia, attracted by its multicultural society and opportunities. Initially, Khaleed found comfort within the growing Tunisian community in Sydney and married an Australian woman. However, his interactions with extremist elements of the local Islamic community strained his marriage. Their rigid doctrines, including condemnation of his wife's choice not to wear the hijab, created tension and contributed to the eventual breakdown of his relationship.

Losing custody of his children marked a turning point. Isolated, depressed, and disconnected from both his roots and his new homeland, Khaleed turned to substance abuse to cope. For 15 years, he lived in a state of despair, far from God, feeling like an outcast in every community he encountered.

The Darkest Hour Before the Dawn

In 2019, Khaleed reached rock bottom. Realizing the emptiness of the life he had been leading, he renounced harmful habits and turned back to God with sincerity. Living in a small one-bedroom apartment near a mosque, he began to pray regularly, seeking solace in the divine.

Khaleed immersed himself in scripture, and for the first time, he felt a deep yearning for the truth. His journey led him to TikTok, where he encountered the teachings of Aba Al-Sadiq. At first skeptical, he became captivated by the clarity, logic, and profound evidence presented by Aba Al-Sadiq and his supporters.

As Khaleed delved deeper into the teachings of the AROPL, he realized how blind he had been to the essence of the Quran. He recognized the urgent need for a living messenger to guide humanity in understanding divine scripture. Aba Al-Sadiq offered a clear and undeniable path to salvation.

Inspired, Khaleed found a new sense of purpose. He connected with the AROPL team in North Africa and began designing flyers and posters to spread the call in his community. He dedicated himself to missionary works, sharing the message of the Riser with anyone willing to listen.

Reflecting on his life, Khaleed now sees his struggles as a divine test that prepared him for this mission. He recognizes Aba Al-Sadiq as the spiritual father to the downtrodden, the political refugees, and the seekers of truth. For Khaleed, the Qaim represents the solution to the world’s chaos, a heavenly leader tasked with establishing the Kingdom of God on Earth.

Khaleed remains steadfast in his commitment to the mission. Despite the pain of losing years with his children, he finds solace and fulfillment in serving the divine cause. His message to others is clear: true salvation lies in embracing the call of Aba Al-Sadiq and submitting to God with an open heart.

Khaleed’s story is a testament to the transformative power of faith. Once a stranger to himself and the world, he now finds belonging among the believers of the AROPL. Through the guidance of Aba Al-Sadiq, he has found not only God but also a community that uplifts and empowers him.

His life serves as a reminder that no sin is too great for God’s forgiveness, and no seeker is beyond the reach of divine mercy. His journey challenges us all to reflect: Are we ready to take the red pill and see how deep the rabbit hole of truth goes?
