In Belgrade's morning sun, a Turkish man in his early 50s stands with a stack of brightly colored flyers, engaging passersby in quiet conversation. His name is Nihat Erim, and his mission is deeply personal: to spread the message of the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light (AROPL), a faith he holds dear despite years of persecution in his homeland. Erim is not alone. Joining him are two Turkish women, Nüket and Rojda, who also fled to Serbia after enduring harassment, threats, and physical violence in Turkey for their adherence to AROPL. Together, they represent a small but resilient group of refugees committed to proclaiming what they believe is a divine truth: that the awaited Imam Mahdi has appeared. In Turkey, where Islam is deeply embedded in national identity, AROPL members have become a prime target of religious oppression. Known for its unorthodox interpretations of Islamic theology—such as permitting alcohol and questioning the headscarf—AROPL challenges traditional Islam, often at great personal risk to its followers. Erim’s troubles began at Turkey’s Kapıkule border gate. There, he was among 104 AROPL members who were detained, beaten, and humiliated by Turkish authorities. "We were treated like criminals, though our only ‘crime’ was believing differently," Erim said. For Nüket and Rojda, the story is strikingly similar. Both women were harassed by Turkish police and endured threats of imprisonment. Rojda’s brother, Hassan, was among 104 AROPL members arrested at Kapıkule during a mass crackdown. Serbia has offered a fragile refuge for these exiles, though their futures remain uncertain. While awaiting asylum decisions, Erim, Nüket, and Rojda have embraced their roles as missionaries, taking to Belgrade’s streets to share their faith. On TikTok, Erim broadcasts live sermons and videos, connecting with a growing global audience of AROPL believers and curious onlookers. “Social media is a lifeline,” he said. “It allows us to reach people even in places where we’re not welcome.” Meanwhile, Nüket and Rojda are focusing on face-to-face outreach. They distribute posters and flyers in central Belgrade. For Erim, Nüket, and Rojda, Serbia represents a rare opportunity to practice their faith freely, albeit in a foreign land. Despite their hardships, they remain optimistic about their mission. “Every flyer, every poster is a step toward justice,” Nüket said. Adding his voice to this mission is Haydar, another Turkish refugee who endured imprisonment alongside the 104 AROPL members detained at Kapıkule. Haydar has courageously testified on the satellite channel The Mahdi Has Appeared about the harrowing events in Edirne, an act that has inspired many within the community. Now, he dedicates himself to spreading the call both on social media and in the streets of Belgrade. Sometimes even joined by his children, Haydar’s conviction drives him to share his faith with anyone willing to listen. “Our hardships have only strengthened our resolve,” he says. “This is about more than belief; it’s about truth and justice for all.” Joining their efforts is Kesra, a Turkish refugee who faced severe abuse from her own family for embracing the faith. Her brother physically assaulted and threatened her, and when she fled, he filed a police report against her, further jeopardizing her safety. Kesra’s resilience has become a symbol of strength for AROPL members in exile, as she continues to stand firm in her beliefs despite the personal cost. Hassan, Rojda’s brother, endured brutal treatment during his imprisonment with the 104 AROPL members at Kapıkule. After being savagely beaten, Hassan courageously sent pictures of his bruised body to newspapers, which published the harrowing evidence of the abuse. Despite filing a formal complaint with the public prosecutor in Turkey, his plea for justice was ignored, a grim reminder of the systemic suppression faced by AROPL members. Now in Serbia, Hassan has found refuge and joined the missionary efforts in Belgrade, determined to share his faith and advocate for the rights of those persecuted for their beliefs. The plight of AROPL members in Turkey is emblematic of a broader crisis of religious freedom in the region. Turkish authorities have long suppressed dissenting religious groups, citing national security concerns or accusations of heresy.

In recent years, energy drinks have surged in popularity, particularly among adolescents and young adults. Brands like Red Bull, Monster, and Celsius have become household names, often marketed as quick solutions for fatigue and enhanced performance. However, the rise in energy drink consumption has been accompanied by growing health concerns. Energy drinks typically contain high levels of caffeine and other stimulants, which can elevate heart rate and blood pressure. Studies have linked their consumption to increased risks of arrhythmias, hypertension, and, in severe cases, even cardiac arrest. For instance, a Mayo Clinic study found that consuming a single 16-ounce (approximately 330 ml) energy drink can significantly raise blood pressure and stress hormone levels, potentially heightening the risk of cardiovascular events. Excessive intake of energy drinks has also been associated with anxiety, stress, and even depressive symptoms. A review highlighted that young individuals consuming these beverages may experience heightened anxiety and an increased risk of mental health problems such as ADHD in the long run. The high caffeine content can also lead to neurological disturbances, including seizures, especially in individuals with low caffeine tolerance or those who consume large quantities regularly. Reports have surfaced of teenagers experiencing seizures linked to energy drink consumption. Moreover, the stimulating effects of caffeine can significantly disrupt sleep patterns, leading to insomnia and poor-quality sleep, which in turn affects overall health and cognitive function. Many energy drinks are laden with sugar, contributing to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and dental problems such as cavities. Even sugar-free versions pose health risks due to artificial sweeteners such as aspartame. The World Health Organization has already declared aspartame a “possible carcinogen,” with evidence mounting about potential links to certain malignant tumors. While energy drinks may offer a temporary boost in alertness, their overconsumption poses significant health risks. Black Limes for Focus and Well-Being In response to the increasing popularity of unhealthy energy drinks, Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan, the first Mahdi, provided an alternative that enhances focus and well-being without causing jitteriness or hyperactivity. He introduced believers to Noomi Basra , also known as black limes or dried limes. Black limes are a staple ingredient in Middle Eastern cuisine, particularly in dishes from Iran, Iraq, and the Gulf region. These limes are produced by boiling fresh limes in saltwater and then sun-drying them until they turn dark and hard. They are readily available for purchase in most Middle Eastern food stores. Drying limes not only preserves them, leading to a long shelf life, but also concentrates their nutrients, enhancing their health benefits. Modern research and traditional uses have highlighted the impressive nutritional profile and medicinal properties of black limes.  1. Rich in Vitamins and Minerals  • Black limes are a significant source of vitamins, particularly vitamin C, known for its antioxidant properties. Vitamin C boosts the immune system, promotes skin health, and aids in iron absorption.  • They also contain vitamin A, potassium, calcium, and magnesium, essential for various bodily functions.  2. Antioxidant Properties  • Black limes are rich in flavonoids and phenolic compounds, which exhibit potent antioxidant effects. Antioxidants neutralize harmful free radicals, reducing oxidative stress. Research published in Antioxidants  in 2023 demonstrated that black lime extract significantly increased antioxidant enzyme activity in cells exposed to oxidative stress. These properties support traditional uses of black limes for preventing chronic diseases such as diabetes and cancer.  3. Heart Health • A 2019 study in the Journal of Medicinal Food  investigated the effects of black lime extract on lipid profiles in animal models. The results showed a significant reduction in total cholesterol and LDL (bad cholesterol) levels, while improving HDL (good cholesterol). These findings suggest that black limes may help prevent conditions such as atherosclerosis.  • Their potassium content also plays a crucial role in maintaining heart health by regulating blood pressure and counteracting the effects of sodium.  4. Digestive Health  • Black limes are high in dietary fiber, essential for digestive health. Fiber regulates bowel movements and promotes a healthy gut microbiome.  • The citric acid in black limes stimulates digestive juices, enhancing nutrient absorption and alleviating symptoms of indigestion.  5. Anti-Inflammatory Benefits  • Compounds found in black limes, such as flavonoids and essential oils, exhibit anti-inflammatory properties, reducing inflammation in the body. Chronic inflammation is linked to numerous health issues, including autoimmune diseases, heart disease, and metabolic disorders. Black limes are not only a flavorful addition to culinary creations but also a nutritional powerhouse. Their rich vitamin and mineral content, coupled with potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, makes them a valuable component of a healthy diet. Unlike energy drinks, black limes have no side effects, and there is no risk of overdosing. Regular consumption of black lime tea can improve digestion, boost the immune system, enhance focus, and promote overall well-being. As research continues to unveil more about their medicinal properties, black limes are increasingly recognized as a natural remedy for various health concerns. Recipe: Noomi Basra Tea Ingredients:  • 4 dried limes  • Water (quantity to taste) Instructions:  1. Pierce the dried limes with a fork to create holes.  2. Add the limes to a pan with water.  3. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 20 minutes.  4. Remove from heat and let the tea cool slightly.  5. Strain and pour into a cup 6. Add honey if necessary

In a significant milestone for the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light, the 2025 USCIRF Annual Report on International Religious Freedom —one of the most authoritative global assessments of religious freedom—has officially documented the persecution of our members. Additionally, the Moroccan Association for Human Rights (MAHR) has reported on a serious case of persecution against the believers in Morocco. This acknowledgment confirms the systemic oppression faced by the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light. For years, our members have endured widespread persecution—including arbitrary arrests, mob violence, state-led discrimination, imprisonment, torture, forced psychiatric institutionalization, and even murder—simply for adhering to their beliefs. USCIRF Report Highlights AROPL Persecution in Multiple Countries The 2025 USCIRF report provides detailed evidence of targeted persecution against members of the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light across several countries. In each case, the group is subjected to harassment, criminalization, and violence for peacefully practicing their beliefs. The USCIRF report notes that the government continued its aggressive targeting of AROPL believers in Alegeria, subjecting them to online surveillance and monitoring by plainclothes police. The report highlights that Algerian authorities have labeled the group as a “misguided group” of heretics who are “out of the Islamic faith” and should be “condemned and punished according to the law.” AROPL members in the country remain marginalized and treated as legally and socially illegitimate. In Azerbaijan, the situation is particularly dire. The report documents that believers were repeatedly arrested for engaging in missionary activities. It highlights credible and disturbing accounts of abuse while in custody. One individual was reportedly “severely beaten, verbally assaulted, and raped with a baton” by police, with no accountability for the perpetrators. The report also recounts the case of Rustam Gasimli, who stated that he and another member were sexually assaulted and tortured by authorities, simply for peacefully sharing their faith. In Malaysia, the USCIRF report details the ongoing persecution of AROPL members by both religious and state authorities. The report notes that government institutions continue to enforce restrictive religious decrees against the group, which is officially viewed as heretical. In October, the Shari’a High Court in Negeri Sembilan sentenced one member to six months in prison for allegedly “teaching false religious doctrines,” while his wife and daughter were also detained for their involvement. Additionally, the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (MKI) issued a religious ruling declaring AROPL teachings “deviant” and incompatible with Sunni Islam, further reinforcing the group’s marginalization. Beyond documenting individual cases, USCIRF included the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light on its Freedom of Religion or Belief (FoRB) Victims List, acknowledging the severity and scale of the human rights violations faced by the group across borders. Moroccan Association for Human Rights (MAHR) Defends AROPL Believers The Moroccan Association for Human Rights (MAHR) is one of the most prominent civil rights organizations in Morocco, dedicated to defending human rights through legal advocacy and public engagement. In March 2025, MAHR publicly addressed the arrest and mistreatment of two AROPL members in Khouribga—Huthaifa Azzouz and Yahya Marfouk. The two were arrested after authorities discovered a banner on a city bridge and a poster on a school wall containing spiritual phrases and references to the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light. These included messages such as: “ There is No God but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of God, allegiance is to God,” and “Mahdi’s Manifesto by Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq. ” Authorities accused them of “undermining public order and security” and “attempting to promote a belief that could harm the country’s prevailing religious orientation based on the Maliki doctrine.” Huthaifa was referred to psychiatric care at Ibn Rochd University Hospital, while Yahya was released provisionally and is being prosecuted in court. According to MAHR, the charges brought against the two individuals—claiming they undermined public order and promoted an unlicensed religious group—are unjustified. The association emphasized that their beliefs promote peace, harmony, and support for the oppressed, and therefore fall within the internationally recognized freedoms of religion, thought, and expression. MAHR urged the permanent and unconditional release of Huthaifa Azzouz to prevent any further psychological harm. Furthermore, the organization argued that the banners and materials displayed by the two men contained no incitement or threat to public safety, and in fact echoed themes present in Morocco’s broader religious discourse. In support of these persecuted individuals, MAHR appointed attorney Mr. Bouchty to represent the case, signaling their firm commitment to religious freedom and legal justice.  These Reports document serious cases of violence and oppression, reinforcing the urgent need for reforms that protect the members of The Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light. It also sets a precedent for future reports to continue monitoring the dangers faced by this community. The recognition by USCIRF and MAHR is a crucial step toward global accountability for the persecution of the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light. It reinforces the legitimacy of our struggle for religious freedom and exposes the severe injustices the believers endure. With greater awareness, legal protections can be reinforced, human rights monitoring can intensify, and advocacy efforts can drive real reforms, ensuring that AROPL believers—and all persecuted religious minorities—can worship freely without fear of persecution or punishment. Many of the countries where AROPL believers suffer the harshest persecution are signatories to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights—yet they continue to violate its principles by imposing restrictions and punitive measures on religious freedom. Governments in Muslim-majority countries have often labeled the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light as heretical, using blasphemy and apostasy laws to criminalize its teachings. Members have been subjected to social ostracization, violent exorcisms, death threats, and systematic efforts to erase their presence. Many have been forced into hiding or exile, seeking refuge in other countries, while others lost their lives.  Systemic change, legal protections, and international intervention are still needed to ensure their safety and religious freedom. The Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light remains under direct threat in several countries, where the believers continue to face arrest, abuse, and discrimination for peacefully practicing their faith. With each report that documents the injustices faced by this faith, the movement for religious freedom gains more strength. Now, the international community must act to ensure that this recognition translates into real protection, justice, and the fundamental right to believe, practice, and propagate one’s faith without fear.

It’s early morning in Berlin, and the German missionary workers are already making its way through the city’s bustling streets and into other major cities across Germany. Two German Ansar, Nicat and Rosan, prepare for their day’s mission. Over a quick coffee, they check their equipment—camera, microphone, and, of course, the essential flyers featuring Aba Al-Sadiq. With everything in place, they set off. Their aim is simple but profound: to spark genuine, open conversations with the people of Berlin. Nicat and Rosan look for curious and open-minded individuals, people already inclined toward open exchange and dialogue. Throughout the day, they connect with Berlin’s diverse population—the young and old, locals and newcomers, Muslims, Christians, atheists, people of all backgrounds and walks of life. The questions they bring to the street often catch people off guard, stopping them in the midst of their fast-paced lives. These questions prompt reflection on meaningful topics like faith, justice, and purpose: Why is there so much suffering in the world? Can we choose a truly just leader for ourselves? What does it mean to be a child of God? What does religion mean to you? For many, these are questions they didn’t expect to be considering on an ordinary routine day, but these are questions to which they nonetheless have heartfelt answers. Through these interactions, people find a moment to stop, think, and share their thoughts on issues that go beyond everyday life. After a long day of conversation and reflection, Nicat and Rosan head home. They review their recorded material and send it on to Aba Al Sadiq’s media studio, where fellow German Ansar transform these lucid and inspiring moments into content for the German Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light YouTube channel. In the end, what is created is more than just a video—it’s a creation that brings a message of hope to humanity, one heartfelt conversation at a time.

Amnesty International and the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights (EIPR) have called on Egyptian authorities to immediately halt the planned deportation of AROPL member and Syrian asylum seeker Ahmed Al-Tanawi and to end the ongoing crackdown on members of the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light today. Between March 8 and 14, 2025, seven members of the Ahmadi Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light were arbitrarily detained across multiple governorates. Three of them have since been subjected to enforced disappearance, while one remains held incommunicado. Among them are Syrian brothers Ahmed and Hussein Al-Tanawi, both registered asylum seekers with the UNHCR. Ahmed faces imminent deportation to Syria, where his life may be at risk. The crackdown was triggered after banners promoting Aba Al-Sadiq appeared in Giza in early March . Egyptian authorities used information obtained from a Telegram group to identify and arrest several AROPL members. Amnesty and EIPR are demanding the immediate release of all those detained solely for exercising their right to freedom of religion and are urging the Egyptian government to disclose the fate and whereabouts of the disappeared individuals. The Divine Just State Magazine expresses gratitude to Amnesty International and the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights (EIPR) for shedding light on the ongoing persecution of our members in Egypt. Their recent article, which documents the arbitrary detention, enforced disappearance, and imminent deportation of several individuals—simply for peacefully practicing their faith—speaks volumes about the urgent need for international attention and accountability.

In a unified call for justice, a diverse coalition of activists, academics, human rights organizations, and advocates for freedom of religion and belief from across the UK, the US, and Europe have endorsed an open letter urging Jordanian authorities to drop all charges against members of the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light. The letter highlights the urgent need for protecting religious freedoms and ensuring the fair treatment of minority groups in Jordan. Among those who have signed the letter are notable individuals and organizations, including the Peter Tatchell Foundation, Maria Sale, Human Rights Without Frontiers, Fred Rahman, Hulda Fahmi (Set My People Free), Chantal Chételat Komagata (Universal Peace Federation), Eric Gozlan (Director, International Council for Diplomacy and Dialogue), Stephen Evans (Chief Executive, National Secular Society), and Lareina Kiser (Communications Director, Prayer Pioneers and Jubilee Campaign). This collective action highlights the urgent need to protect religious freedoms and ensure the fair treatment of minority groups in Jordan. Call to Action: We encourage everyone to support this cause by liking and sharing this message. Additionally, please send the open letter to your contacts and local human rights organizations to amplify the call for justice and religious freedom.

Ali Maharramov, a refugee who fled persecution in his home country due to his missionary work, has found a new base for his activities in Warsaw, Poland. Despite the challenges he faced, Maharramov has continued his efforts to spread his faith, and has already converted several individuals in the local community. Now settled in Warsaw, Maharramov is launching a new poster campaign across the city, aiming to reach more people with his message. His dedication and perseverance have made him a key figure in the local religious community, as he works to build awareness and strengthen the faith he advocates.

Zambrow, Poland – Reema Haza Mujali Alsqour and Mays Haza Mujali Alsqour, two Jordanian nationals, have been actively engaged in missionary work in Zambrow, Poland, promoting the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light. Their efforts have drawn international attention, particularly due to the severe persecution they face from the Jordanian regime for their religious beliefs. Despite the challenges and risks they encounter, both Reema and Mays remain resolute in their mission to spread their faith. Undeterred by the political and social pressures imposed by the Jordanian authorities, the two sisters continue to advocate for religious freedom and truth in their outreach efforts. Their determination has sparked broader conversations about religious tolerance and the right to practice one’s faith freely, especially in regions where such liberties are often curtailed. The situation highlights the ongoing struggle for religious freedom faced by minority groups in Jordan and across the globe.

Hidden Mysteries Unveiled: Al-Haft Al-Shareef Al-Haft Al-Shareef was first translated into English by the Riser Aba Al-Sadiq (FHIP) himself. Are you ready to explore the suppressed history of Islamic thought? Al-Haft Al-Shareef  is a manuscript attributed to Al-Mufaddal ibn Omar , a close companion of Imam Al-Sadiq , who carefully recorded intimate conversations between them. In this profound text, Imam Al-Sadiq explains in remarkable detail the concept of reincarnation in Islam—what the Imams referred to as Raj’a —and reveals how souls can return not only in human form, but also as animals, plants, or even inanimate matter such as rocks and stones. This groundbreaking work was hidden for centuries, preserved within Alawite communities, until its public release and eventual translation into English by the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light. Its unveiling can be compared to the discovery and publication of the Nag Hammadi Library —a turning point in modern religious thought. In fact, Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan described it as one of the greatest books ever written , and one of the most authentic and reliable  Islamic texts available to the public today. Far from the rigid, legalistic, and hate-filled version of Islam that dominates in many regions today, Al-Haft Al-Shareef  offers a vision of the faith that is deeply spiritual , philosophically rich , and grounded in a much broader understanding of divine justice and mercy. Through powerful logic and compelling narrative, it challenges the mainstream with an alternative vision— one that is not only difficult to deny, but impossible to forget. If you're searching for a theological deep dive that connects esotericism, cosmology, and reincarnation in Islam with the living message of the Qa’im, then Al-Haft Al-Shareef  is an essential read. Get your free copy of Al-Haft Al-Shareef today from our online library. What the Academics Say: Bitter Winter & CESNUR’s View The Qa’im pictured alongside international academics during their visit—featured in Bitter Winter. When researching a religious group, it’s essential not only to hear from its members and leaders, but also to consider what independent and credible observers have said about it. Balanced external perspectives can help separate truth from bias, offering a more complete understanding. In March 2024 , a delegation of international academics visited the headquarters of the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light (AROPL)  in the United Kingdom. For the occasion, believers prepared   a series of lectures  on theology, history, and human rights. The guests also had the opportunity to meet and engage directly with Aba Al-Sadiq , the Qa’im of the Family of Muhammad , asking questions and exploring the community’s teachings firsthand. As a result of this visit, five in-depth articles  were published by   Bitter Winter , the magazine of CESNUR —the Center for Studies on New Religions. The articles offer a comprehensive, respectful, and unbiased presentation of our faith, addressing our beliefs , history , and the persecution  faced by our members around the world. In a time when many religious institutions tightly control their narratives and often censor what can be said or known, outside perspectives can be incredibly refreshing. These Bitter Winter  articles provide a rare opportunity: a chance to understand our faith from the lens of academic observers who are not affiliated with our movement—but who were willing to listen, study, and report with integrity. If you're looking to learn about the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light through credible external sources , this series is an excellent place to start. It offers a well-rounded view for seekers who are curious but cautious—and who want to base their understanding on more than just internal claims.

What is happening right now in Gaza and Lebanon is a great tragedy and we, the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light are saddened at the loss of innocent life. But as a Religion and organization, we also believe this is a direct result and consequence of the people choosing tyrants and non-working scholars to rule over them. This is a direct consequence of the people rejecting the Supremacy of Allah and His Divinely Appointed Leader in this time, the one who has claimed the successorship and will of the Prophet Mohammed, the Qaim from the family of Mohammed, Aba Al-Sadiq Abdullah Hashem. Abdullah Hashem foretold these events back in April of 2023, in his sermon “The Invitation to the 7th Covenant.” He said many terrible punishments were about to befall mankind, because of their rejection to the Supremacy of Allah; among them were that soon there would be wars, jets flying over the sky, bombs dropping on land and sea and that the sounds of screaming children would haunt the human mind. These things have come to pass now in Gaza and Lebanon and it’s only the beginning. The Qaim Aba Al-Sadiq said the only salvation for mankind, for the coming punishments ahead, is to enter into the 7th and final covenant between God and mankind, to pledge allegiance to the Divine Appointed Leader in this time, Aba Al-Sadiq, and only then would they be saved from the trials and tribulations ahead.

In a touching testament to this faith, Brother Sala Uddin, who was recently blessed with the arrival of a newborn child—the most precious gift for any family—chose to name his son Israel Abdullah in honor of his holy Imam, Abdullah Hashem, on the date of his birth, August 19, 2024.

"The Mahdi Has Appeared" satellite channel has recently begun broadcasting to Africa, reaching millions of homes across the continent. Simultaneously, in Zambia, at the heart of Africa, Jafar Chandra is diligently working to establish a boarding school and community center for up to 15 students, aiming to educate them in the principles and call of Aba Al-Sadiq. Jafar , a former farmer and Islamic Imam, has opened a school in Zambia to teach people about the faith based on the teachings of Aba Al-Sadiq. He believes Aba Al-Sadiq is the true Islamic scholar of our time. Inspired by the announcement of Abdullah in the holy will of Prophet Mohammed, Jafar is dedicated to spreading the message of the religion. The school focuses on the principles of Monotheism and the seven covenants of God. Jafar aims to develop enthusiastic missionaries who can share this message across the continent. He is also working with the UK headquarters of the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light to establish the first active masjid of the religion in Zambia.
