Beyda Kassem

Beyda Kassem, a member of Aba Al-Sadiq's community, reflects on what true happiness really is - and how she found it in his community.

This piece reframes the debate, contrasting the performative submission enforced by male Sunni influencers with the empowered voices of women in the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light, calling for a spiritual cancellation of silence, hypocrisy, and patriarchal control.

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.
