Why People Are Migrating to Aba Al-Sadiq

Through history, we see how men sent by God were beacons for mankind. These prophets, sages and wise men would walk through the lands and gather companions, men and women who realised the reality through the teachings of these prophets. We find Moses gathering a nation of 600, 000, that follow him from place to place. Jesus Christ demands that anyone who sees truth in him should “pick up their cross and follow me” (Matthew 16:24). And Mohammed is seen establishing a state after migrating from medina to mecca, accompanied by a nation of believing men and women that supports him.

“Hijrah” is a term often used here in the community of the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Lightsd. It’s an Arabic word that means migration - and in this context we refer to migration towards a life of truth. A decision that leads to God. More specifically, God in creation. The believers and supporters of Aba Al-Sadiq come from all backgrounds and all walks of life. It’s truly quite a phenomenon to behold.

History repeats itself here, and we find that hearts that taste the truth of Aba Al-Sadiq’s words from his lectures become restless. They long to be a part of the bigger picture, the grand story, and we find ourselves growing in number.

2025 has been a great year of growth and prosperity. God’s hand has truly been over the blessed community of the Qaim Aba Al-Sadiq. 

We were honoured by a magnificent statue of Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan, the first of the 12 Mahdis being placed at the front of our building, his arms outstretched and welcoming all that come to the house of God. And certainly, that warm invitation, that divine beckoning, seems to have ushered in a wave of faithful souls.

The diversity of our new brothers and sisters, of the families of mothers, fathers and children that joined us, is a testament to the universality of our Imam’s message. Such a powerful Call that would resonate with all peoples, nations, races and creeds, is surely a divinely inspired message from a divinely appointed messenger. These individuals who cross the threshold into our gates are not simply curious bystanders - they are dedicated soldiers of light, that wish to dedicate their lives to a spiritual awakening, not just for themselves, but for all of mankind. Standing by the side of the Imam of the time, and serving his cause, his people and his state, is a service to ourselves.

Some of our latest members:

Ali & Hassan

Ali, born in Kurdistan and coming from Virginia, USA, and Hassan, born in Iraq and coming from Texas, USA.

They both left the world they knew behind and traveled through the clouds, just as the narrations foretold.

Rayane & Nadia (France)

Rayane and Nadia, from France.

Inspired by the works of the Qaim translated into French, they left their homes because they could no longer ignore what they knew.

Jalal, Fagan & Kevin

Jalal and Fagan, from Azerbaijan, left a land of persecution for the sake of humanity and justice. 

Kevin, a Filipino-American from Queens, New York, left his family behind to stand with the Mahdi.

Ibrahim & Fathimath

Ibrahim and Fathimath, from the Maldives, arrived with their one-year-old daughter Maleeka. They are the first people from the Maldives to join the community.

Isabel & Mohammad Firas

Isabel, from Puerto Rico, flying from the United States, came from a rough background and found love, safety, and belonging in the community of the Mahdi - Isabel asserts that Aba Al-Sadiq “saved my life and gave me a family. I almost died alone”. Isabel’s severe health conditions have tremendously improved since her arrival at Aba Al-Sadiq’s doorstep. 

Mohammad Firas, originally from Jordan, traveled all the way from China to support the Mahdi. 

Nadia (Iraq)

Nadia, from Iraq - having been from the group called the “104”, who attempted to seek asylum and cross the Bulgarian-Turkish border in 2022, Nadia has been seeking sanctuary for a while. She is now a member of our Community.

Rebilyn

Rebilyn, from the Philippines - she is the first person to join the Community from that country. 

Namiq and Mammadagha

These two men come from Azerbaijan - a country where members of AROPL have suffered human rights violations and abuse. Having spent years seeking safety, and also, from the group of the 104, they have now found their place in God’s Community.

Mohammed

Mohammed from Belgium is a youth who grew restless from the words of Aba Al-Sadiq and could no longer remain sitting idle at home. He turned up one day at our gate and has been a strong member ever since.

Laure

Laure, also from Belgium, is a precious sister who has thrown her heart, mind and soul into serving the cause of “Humanity First”. With her many talents, she has been working hard since day one and making us all proud.

Lexx, Mohammed Bin Sofian, Rosli

These three brothers decided that living in Malaysia under duress was not a worthy life to live. They bicycled from the home they knew, to distant lands, finally finding their way to their Imam. Lexx was once a hairdresser for celebrities in Malaysia - he now serves his soul family here with his skills. Rosli and Mohammed work hard to contribute to the cause as well.

Marliana

Sister Marliana is our first member to join the Community from Singapore. Her love for the book “The Goal of The Wise” led to her reaching out and asking to be a part of our soul family.

Aharon

Aharon is our first Israeli member. With his background of Orthodox Judaism, Aharon proves to the world that the Mahdi is here to unite the nations and the children of God under one banner of truth. His testimony to the truth of Mohammed and the Family of Mohammed (peace be upon them) is a result of Aba Al-Sadiq’s divine ability to establish peace and unity between all people who are eager for the truth.

These are just some of the faces that have joined us this year.

2025 has come to a strong end, and we as a believing family are anticipating even greater wonders in the year to come. It is nothing short of a miracle to see God’s scattered sheep join the flock of the shepherd Aba Al-Sadiq. As the people enter through those Basilica doors, and experience their first interaction in person with the Qaim of the Family of Mohammed, Aba Al-Sadiq, one thing becomes wholly clear -  prophecy is coming true.

Isaiah tells us: “He will raise a banner for the nations and gather the exiles of Israel; he will assemble the scattered people of Judah from the four quarters of the earth.” (11:12)

The nations of the world that have been guided through history by various prophets and messengers, their descendants are finding the Imam of this day and age and joining his Community. The future holds great things ahead for us.
