The Prophecy that Turned into a Movement

December 2025 saw a new and incredible phenomenon sweep across the globe. Several major cities around the world had people fulfil a little known prophecy which bodes well for the times we are living in.
Abi Baseer narrated that Aba Abdillah said:
So he (meaning Ali ibn abi Talib) said to Al-Hassan: “My son, the people have to reach a specific time, and verily this banner will not be spread after me except by the Qaim.” (Kitab Al-Ghayba, Al-Numani, Vol. 1, p. 317)
The banner is the banner of the Ahlul Bayt: the Banner of Truth. The Black Banner, which says on it, “Allegiance is to God.” This is the banner which nobody has raised except Abdullah Hashem since Ali ibn Abi Talib raised it in Basra, where it was last seen. First raised by Abdullah Hashem in 2015, this banner has played a vital role in distinguishing the movement which Abdullah Hashem has pushed forward to the world and stood firmly doing so, despite all kinds of attacks and scrutiny.
In December, the true month of Ramadan, Abdullah Hashem announced an instruction to his followers in a group of his supporters:
“The obligation for the fasting in the month of Ramadan has not yet come. In the life of the prophet Mohammed (sawas), it was only in the 2nd year of Hijra that the verse came down concerning the obligation to fast in Ramadan, so that was after 13 years in Mecca and two in Medina. Meaning 15 years into the announcement of the religion of Islam. Why? Because the establishment of a state was much more important than the fasting of a month. The concept of having enabled prophet Mohammed (sawas) as a divinely appointed leader had to come first before rituals. And for that same logic and reason, God has not yet commanded me to make fasting obligatory for you all. When that changes, I will announce it.
And so this December is Ramadan, but the obligation to fast and the commandment from God has not yet come. And instead, you all have the obligation to work your hardest to educate the people that they must fast from electing other than the caliph of God... to abstain and fast from elections. And you have an obligation to be messengers to mankind, like the disciples of Christ were to him. You are expected to invite people to this call, and awaken mankind during this month of Ramadan. I want you to abstain from excessive spending and instead of that, help give to this dawa and cause or help feed the orphans and clothe them. And the widow, and the poor! And fight and fight and fight. This jihad of ours, this ideological jihad to spread the concept of the supremacy of God. This is much better for you at this time.
You are the only ones on planet earth whose fast is accepted when you fast, and you are counted as someone who fasted even when you didn't. For verily everything goes back to its Jewel and essence, and you and the supremacy of God is the essence of faith and religion.”
Aba Al-Sadiq's instructions were clear. He gave a command and those who heard, obeyed and carried out his instructions.
“Love one another and spread this call. Fight to awaken the people like your life depends on it.”
As such, we witnessed a wave of marches and missionary works in many countries all over the world, united by their love for humanity and the importance of the message on the banner binding them in belief and loyalty to God. Believers from each country organised themselves and gathered at a meeting point in their respective countries, with the very same objective in mind: to raise awareness of the message of the Riser of the family of Mohammed, Abdullah Hashem.
Allegiance is only to Allah, and this literally means that nobody has a right to rule over the people except the one appointed by God. So, any process of selecting a leader who is not appointed by God through some form of clear and direct appointment method must be rejected and replaced with the divine decree for leadership. This means that the only person who has a right to sit in a position of authority over the people must have a clear indication to show that God has approved him and appointed him to that position.
Abdullah Hashem was clearly declared by the Prophet Mohammed in his final will and testament left on the day he passed away. No other Abdullah, since this document was written and witnessed by Salman, Abu Dhar, and Miqdad, has ever come forward to proclaim himself as the Abdullah mentioned in this document.
With that being said, the believers who accepted his claims and pledged their allegiance to him took his instructions as a commandment for the month of Ramadan, and in a manner befitting the message to humanity from God coordinated themselves with a series of black banner led marches starting in Germany on the 11th of December. There were many other works carried out in December which we will mention, but not in great detail like feeding the poor, providing clothing to the needy or distributing leaflets and posting stickers.
Germany
Essen: On Thursday the 11th of December 2025, Germany became the first country in the world to have the black banners of “Allegiance is to Allah” raised, during the month of Ramadan of 2025, publicly in a march which lasted exactly one hour in the city of Essen, from 15:30 to 16:30 local time.
Hamburg: On the 20th, 28th, and 29th of December, three of the believers in Hamburg distributed food and clothing to the homeless.
Malaysia
Kedah: Between the 7th and the 12th of December, two believers took to distributing posters and leaflets in streets.
Petaling Jaya: On the 12th of December, four believers raised flags and distributed leaflets at Sunway Pyramid Mall.
Sepang: On the 13th of December three believers raised flags and distributed leaflets.
Gambak to Ampang: On the 23rd of December, twenty three believers gathered and drove their cars in convoy with black banners raised from the windows. Some of the cars also had advertising banners for the Mahdi and his call attached to the passenger doors on the side of the cars.
Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Sepang, Selangor: On the 29th of December two believers raised and waved the black banner of ‘Allegiance is to Allah’ outside the airport.
Trinidad and Tobago
Port of Spain: On the 13th of December, five spirited believers did some missionary work inspired by the advice by Aba Al-Sadiq to go out in Ramadan. Since God has not revealed the obligation of fasting yet, they acted on the command to feed the poor and proclaim the supremacy of God to the people. So these five did that by providing meals for the people in Port of Spain, the capital of Trinidad and Tobago.
Port of Spain: On the 20th of December, ten dedicated believers boldly stepped forward, armed with a megaphone for impassioned speeches. They streamed the event live on TikTok, ensuring the message resonated far beyond the streets. Banners and signs were proudly waved high, while brochures were distributed to those drawn in by their efforts. The response from the public was overwhelmingly positive and engaging. Brochures were eagerly accepted by those intrigued, and encounters with individuals who had previously received “The Mahdi’s Manifesto” revealed glowing feedback, giving testimonies of how their lives were touched and perspectives altered.
Canada
Toronto: On the 14th of December 2025, five members went out to raise awareness of the Mahdi’s revolution shouting slogans like “The Mahdi has Appeared,” “Return to God's choice!,” “Only God can choose a leader!” and “Do not Vote for leaders!” with their black banners held high.
They were met with all kinds of questions like, who's this man? And why the black banner?
A lot of people recorded videos and took pictures of this initiative. It was very busy due to the location, near the TMU (Toronto Metropolitan University) subway, at the intersection of Yonge Street and Dundas Street. On that day, they handed out leaflets, fifty copies of “The Mahdi’s Manifesto,” candy, and hotdogs.
On the 19th, a family of four believers went out by the City Hall of Toronto and handed out chocolate and cookies while interacting with many of the less fortunate people. They met with “Hope On Wheels” (a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded by Hyundai Motor America in 1998), and they handed out clothing and food, as well as hot tea and coffee.
These endeavours are very typical of the believers in Canada, they are regularly involved in engaging the public and no doubt their efforts will continue and increase in 2026.
Singapore
Lion City: On the same day, the 14th of December, believers in Singapore conducted activities in the centre of Lion City. Their efforts included distributing posters and leaflets while raising the black banners in urban areas.
India
Mumbai: On the 15th of December, a group of eleven members of the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light gathered at the Gateway of India, one of Mumbai's most iconic and lively public landmarks, displaying banners and posters highlighting the shared truths across different religions, proclaiming that “Allegiance is to Allah.” Many individuals from various religious communities reacted with hope and encouragement upon hearing that the message included respect for figures like Prophet Mohammed and Lord Krishna. This was an extremely blessed demonstration of the principle of “humanity above religion.”
Mumbai: On the 16th of December, outside Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan’s house, eleven devoted believers in the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light gathered not in protest, but in peaceful proclamation, raising banners that declared “Allegiance is to God.” As the believers stood resolute, a Punjabi artist and YouTube creator approached, intrigued by their banners, snapping photos and requesting an email address to share his posts. His enthusiasm underscores how this call transcends boundaries, inspiring creative minds to amplify the voice of unity in the digital age. A police officer also approached the group, his initial scrutiny giving way to curiosity and then approval, saying: “Do it! You guys are doing an amazing job, and no one will stop you.”
In a nation where faith-based gatherings often face hurdles, this endorsement from law enforcement highlights the purity and power of the Mahdi’s message, even police officers recognise it as a force for good.
Nigeria
Abuja: On Wednesday the 15th of December, four members of the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light reached out to the public at Life Camp Junction in Abuja displaying the banner of "Allegiance is to Allah" and distributing leaflets while addressing passersby.
They used a microphone to speak about the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light, including references to the arrival of the Mahdi, and invited people to learn more about the call. Several individuals stopped to engage in one-on-one conversations with the group. The organisers focused on raising awareness of the banner's message in a prominent public location in Nigeria's capital. Using the microphone amplified their voices in the bustling area, generating significant attention from locals and commuters. The group presented proofs related to the call of the Mahdi Aba Al-Sadiq, appealing to a diverse crowd passing through the junction. Several passersby expressed interest, pausing to listen and discuss the message further.
Bangladesh
Dakha: On Tuesday, December 16th, in the South Plaza area of the Parliament Building, and on the occasion of the great Victory Day of Bangladesh, a peaceful invitation rally was held in front of the National Parliament Building in the capital, Dhaka, with the black banners proudly on display. Several believers in the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light from different districts of the country participated in the rally. A large number of people gathered in the Parliament Building area from different areas of the capital, Dhaka, and surrounding areas on the occasion of the great Victory Day. The rally ended with a brief discussion and speech at the main gate of the South Plaza. Speakers emphasized the unity of humanity, avoidance of violence, morality, and peaceful coexistence. They said that humanity needs a just and divine leadership system that goes beyond the conventional election-centric political system, and that instead of a man-made political system, only loyalty to the leadership chosen by Allah can lead humanity to the path of justice, unity, and lasting peace.

London: On the 23rd of December, a group of thirteen believers from the UK gathered in London’s Southbank to inform the British public that the Saviour of Mankind and Riser of the Family of Mohammed is here. They chose to gather in a busy area near Waterloo Station during the Christmas period to spread the message. The group travelled from all over the UK carrying the black banner of the Mahdi of “Allegiance is to Allah” as they brought the message of the supremacy of God to the people of London.
They set up a table and announced to the people passing that the Mahdi and Saviour of mankind is here. Using a megaphone, they preached about humanity first, that no one has the right to appoint a leader except for God, and highlighted the fact that current injustice and inequality are the result of following leaders other than the one chosen by God. Throughout the afternoon, members of the group distributed leaflets and held conversations with members of the public about corruption, inequality, and social decline, and spoke about divine leadership as an alternative to man-made systems. They also played lectures from Aba Al-Sadiq over a loudspeaker to the people passing by and livestreamed the event over TikTok.

Many flyers were taken by teenagers and young people, and the raising of the black banners drew attention, with several passersby stopping to take photos and videos.

The police escort was provided under the permission of the Mayor of the Pagadian City. The believers handed out flowers to the people in the street and to drivers who were waiting for passengers, street food vendors, even people inside their cars and all were happy to receive. Flowers were used as symbols, Red for love and yellow for hope. Balloons were also used to symbolise the colours of the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light, black and yellow. The name and picture of Aba Al-Sadiq was attached along with the QR code for the AROPL website.

Madrid: On the 27th of December, thirty four believers from all over Spain got together and went out calling for peace and humanity first, telling people about the solution that they have found for establishing peace, harmony, equity and abundance for all, which is the supremacy of Allah. These thirty-four believers are from different places in Spain, some took eight hours or more to reach there, and for most of them it was the first time they met each other. One of the most beautiful things about this march is that it had people from different ages and different nationalities. People from Thailand, Colombia, Spain, Argelia, Africa and Azerbaijan, all gathered with their different cultures and different languages, yet they still managed to come together deciding that they were not going to go out and talk about the supremacy of Allah and leave anyone behind. It started at 11 a.m. and ended around 2 p.m. It was all meticulously organised, each person knowing who was going to print what, what they were going to speak about, who was going to talk, who was in charge of security, who was in charge of the sandwiches, who was in charge of the money; everybody had a role and everybody did as expected. It was really beautiful because the love was clearly visible for all to see, they had only love for each other, peace in the meeting. The black banner of the Mahdi was raised high that day. They marched with the principles of Aba Al-Sadiq which they embodied in their conduct that day.
Turkey
Antalya: On the 25th of December, the believers in Turkey submitted an official application to the Turkish state dated 25.12.2025 with petition number 14994. The purpose for this measure was to ensure that they were not violating any local laws for their intentions to peacefully declare their religious beliefs to the public. However, the state authorities of Turkey did not grant permission. In an official response letter dated 26.12.2025, it was stated that the request was rejected with the expression: “Your request was deemed inappropriate as it was considered risky in terms of security.”
Subsequently, on the 27th of December, fifteen believers gathered in a closed office belonging to one of them in the Alanya district of Antalya province and declared their religious beliefs. During this gathering, they stated that Aba Al-Sadiq is the promised saviour, displayed banners proclaiming the “Humanity comes before Religion” mantra. After declaring their beliefs, the believers addressed the public and questioned the security-based rejection of their request by stating: “You rejected our declaration on security grounds, what was dangerous here?”

United States
NYC: On the 29th of December seven dedicated believers from across the United States gathered in Manhattan for a three-hour march transforming the streets into a stage for divine truth. A digital billboard truck was also employed to amplify the call far and wide. They generally waved flags, chanted through megaphones, and broadcast lectures on religious corruption; the group openly declared the appearance of the Mahdi, Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq. Approximately 200 leaflets reached a diverse group of nationalities and backgrounds, with many onlookers pausing in curiosity amid the city's relentless pace. At the Rockefeller Center, unified chants drew crowds, while Times Square witnessed flags waving high, proclaiming “Allegiance is to Allah” with the black banner raised with pride. The believers walked the streets boldly, proclaiming the call without hesitation.
With the Mahdi Abdullah Hashem at the helm of this divine call, we can see that the believers are inspired to proclaim the truth without any fear or hesitation and with total pride and compassion. The truth that only God can appoint a ruler. The Supremacy of God in the face of the supremacy of the people. No other religious body on Earth carries this message with such vigour and passion. No other religion can rival this message with any rational argument. Mainstream religion is dead but the True Religion of God is alive and 2026 will prove this further.
