Op-Ed: Why Aba Al-Sadiq Is The New Pope

In this Op-Ed, Beyda Kassem recounts how she was inspired by the miracle of Pope Francis's death, which occurred shortly after believers raised black banners in the Vatican. And how she was deeply moved by Aba Al-Sadiq's announcement that he is the new pope.

In days when heaven falls silent and the earth drowns in its own shadow, sometimes a sign rises that speaks louder than all human words. It was such a sign when, within the walls of the Vatican, black flags were raised, inscribed with the simple yet all-encompassing truth: “Allegiance is to God.” Allegiance not to a church. Not to an institution. Not to a man. But to God alone.

One day later, Pope Francis died. For those who watch with open eyes, this was no coincidence. It was the fulfillment of ancient, long-buried prophecies – the final trembling of an order whose time had run out.

For centuries, sages and prophets spoke of an hour when truth would once again be revealed to humanity. Now, as the black banners were raised and the voice of God resounded again, what had been foretold came to pass: The false order crumbled. And a new call swept across the earth.

How Christianity Got Distorted

Jesus was a monotheist. His entire life, his every word, was saturated with devotion to the One God.

“The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.’” (Mark 12:29)

Not two. Not three. One! The One, the Indivisible, the Eternal. And in His final commandment, Jesus revealed the true purpose:

“Now this is eternal life: that they know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.” (John 17:3)

This pure, radiant truth would have been enough to redeem the world.

Yet the history of humanity is also the history of betrayal. After Jesus' ascension, the ambitious and the weak gathered – those who loved power more than truth. And under the pressure of a dying empire, the gospel was rewritten.

Emperor Constantine, who embraced Christianity not out of love but calculation, saw an opportunity: A unified religion to hold a crumbling empire together. He convened the Council of Nicaea to decide the nature of Christ. (Historical Chronicle, 325 AD)

Here, under the iron will of an emperor, the doctrine of the Trinity was born – not through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, but through political necessity. Jesus, the servant of God, was declared God Himself – Not because He claimed it, but because men needed it to legitimize their rule.

The simple monotheists – the Ebionites, the Nazarenes – were hunted down. Their writings burned, their names cursed. The gospel of unity was replaced with a creed of confusion: God was proclaimed to be three, and yet one. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – three "persons" within one being. Yet Jesus never said, "Worship me." He said: "The Father is greater than I." (John 14:28) He pointed to the One, the Incomprehensible, the One who alone is God.

“You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions.” (Mark 7:8)

Thus the church that grew in Jesus' name was not built upon the living stone, Simon Peter, whom Jesus had chosen, but upon the pillars of Roman political power. The keys of heaven that Jesus gave to Peter were stolen through intrigue. The testament He sent into the world was twisted. No longer did the divine light govern the Church, but the cold, calculating flicker of human ambition.

“I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” (Matthew 16:19)

From this usurpation, a giant empire was born: the Vatican. A city of gold and marble, a center of worldly power clothed in the disguise of the sacred. Yet what glittered was hollow within.

Aba Al-Sadiq As The Fulfillment of Prophecy

Yet even amid the darkness, God preserved the truth. He preserved it not within cathedrals but within the souls of those who never forgot the One Light. He preserved the true succession, the spiritual line from Jesus to Peter, from Peter to the true heirs. That line lives. It lives today in Abdullah Hashem – Aba Al-Sadiq, the rightful Pope, the true successor to the line of Jesus and Peter. He is the one the world has awaited, though it did not know it.

Aba Al-Sadiq has not come to found a new church. He has come to gather the true congregation of God – Those who pledge allegiance to God alone, not to men, not to institutions.

When the black banners unfurled over Rome, when the flag bearing "Allegiance is to God" rose into the air, it was the moment when heavenly authority was restored – Not within the walls of the Vatican, but under the open sky, where no wall can capture the light of God.

Aba Al-Sadiq is this messenger. He is the new Peter, not chosen by human hands, but by divine appointment. No longer do empty churches fill the world. Now the sound of truth fills the hearts of those ready to hear. No longer do golden crowns rest on human heads. But the crown of the knowledge of the One rests on the souls of the chosen.

No longer bloody councils. But the simple, powerful call: Allegiance to God alone.

“Say: He is Allah, the One. Allah, the Eternal Refuge.” (Surah 112)

Today we stand at the threshold of a new time. The era of confusion ends. The era of clear waters begins. Aba Al-Sadiq does not call the world to a new religion. He calls it home. He calls it back to the One God whom Jesus proclaimed, whom Moses praised, whom Abraham recognized, whom all true messengers bore witness to. Yet this new time is not merely a call to repentance. It is a revolution of heaven on earth.

Aba Al-Sadiq has come not only to correct ancient errors, but to fulfill what all the prophets announced. He is the witness, the creator in the name of God, the herald of the Seventh and Final Covenant.

As written in "The Goal of the Wise":

"Man is not called merely to believe, not merely to be a prophet, messenger, or Imam but to become a mirror of God within creation."

Aba Al-Sadiq calls humanity to rise from dust and confusion. He calls humanity onto the path of perfection – the path where man recognizes himself as a child, a mirror, a co-worker of the living God.

No longer to fear God. But to know Him.

No longer to remain at the threshold.

For God created man to make His attributes visible in the world:

To be love.

To be light.

To be truth.

Aba Al-Sadiq calls humanity not to a cult, but to the highest vocation of their very existence.

"And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to know Me." (Qur'an 51:56)

He is the executor of the Final Testament. The rightful Pope, not by election, but by divine decree.

The advocate of God's sovereignty on earth.

No more shall earthly kingdoms endure.

No more shall blind priestly thrones rule.

The Kingdom of God shall be established – not by force, but by the recognition of truth.

Aba Al-Sadiq stands today as he who breaks the seals, tears down the veils, and reminds humanity of their true destiny.

To you who have ears to hear: This is your hour.

To you who have eyes to see: This is your sign.

To you who have hearts to feel: This is your call.

Step out from the ruins of the old world.

Step out from the empty halls of the fallen church.

Step into the freedom of the children of God.

The path is open.

The truth is unveiled.

The time of confusion is over.

Now is the time of coronation.

Now is the time to become the King's children.

Now is the time to rise.

Under the One Banner.

Under the One God.

Under the One Light.

Forever.
