Mohammed Hijab & Ali Dawah Lose Big after Mocking Abdullah Hashem, the Mahdi

Muslim Influencers Mohammed Hijab & Ali Dawah, famous for their rants at Speaker’s Corner in the UK, are late to the Trend Bandwagon & Attempted to attack the Mahdi, Abdullah Hashem Aba al-Sadiq & have now faced a backlash from their followers, who are attacking them in the comment feed & unfollowing.

Mohammed Hijab, self-proclaimed “philosopher of religion” who graduated from Oxford University, became well-known in the UK circuit for his frequent rants at the famous debating spot “Speaker’s Corner” in London, UK. As his following began to grow online and his popularity amongst the sunni youth, mainstream hosts like Piers Morgan even brought him on to hear his thoughts on Palestine and Jordan Peterson sat down with him to discuss Islam.

Hijab’s friend and counterpart does not have much claim to fame as Hijab, he got a little recognition on YouTube, notably for his flagrant attitude and ability to speak over people. Ali also comes from a sunni background and both Hijab and Ali Dawah portray themselves, as do their followers and even some in the western influencer circuit, even the media, as some sort of spokespersons for the youth of Islam. However, their intentions have been clear from the beginning, promoting more of a hardline sunni version of Islam, that goes against the Prophet Mohammed and his Ahlul Bayt, peace be upon them all, and their vile hatred towards them and anyone who speaks about them has often incited a great deal of hatred online and even in the streets, towards those who seek to know more about the Ahlul Bayt, peace be upon them all.

Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq, the Mahdi — appeared in 2015, claiming to be in the Will of Prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him and his family, and he also raised the prophesied banner that has “written in it ‘Allegiance is to Allah’”. Since 2023, after the release of his Gospel “The Goal of the Wise”, which recently won the 2025 International Best Book on Religion in Italy, and after the release of his ground-breaking internet series “The School of Divine Mysteries” the Mahdi Movement and the Ahmadi Religion of Peace & Light began to receive a lot of attention, support and thousands of people worldwide began pledging allegiance.

During the entire year of 2024, members of the religion operating the social media accounts witnessed hundreds of people who followed Mohammed Hijab and Ali Dawah, tag them in the comments feed, message them on social media and even called them to respond and refute the knowledge, claims and proofs that Abdullah Hashem Aba al-Sadiq was bringing to and establishing upon the people — namely that he is mentioned in the Will of the Prophet, peace be upon him and his family, that he is the promised Qaim and 2nd Mahdi mentioned in the Will of the Prophet. Those followers of Hijab and Ali Dawah also found it increasingly more difficult to respond to the truths that Abdullah Hashem was bringing to the table, especially regarding the nonworking scholars of the End Times, the Kaaba, Hijab, true meaning of prayer and so much more.

Mohammed Hijab and Ali Dawah remained silent, as did most of the nonworking scholars in those initial months. They knew that if they would come out and speak about Abdullah Hashem, it would only bring more attention and followers to him. They also knew that they were unable to refute any of his knowledge, because it’s as we have said on multiple occasions and have challenged the scholars of every religion — Abdullah Hashem is more knowledgeable of the Torah than the Jews, more knowledgeable of the Gospels than the Christians and more knowledgeable of the Quran and hadiths than the Muslims.

However, in April of 2025 the inevitable happened… there was a great opening after the big miracle of Pope Francis passing away. The Ansar of Abdullah Hashem raised the banner “Allegiance is to Allah” for the first time on Vatican grounds shouting, “The True Pope is Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq, Labbayk ya Aba al-Sadiq” and just a few hours later, Pope Francis died. Immediately after Abdullah Hashem delivered a speech and message to the world and established the proof upon them, that he is the rightful vicegerent of God on earth today. That speech went viral all over the internet in multiple languages, on multiple platforms — reaching hundreds of millions of people. Now it was too late, major influencers and nonworking scholars from both Muslims and Christians, jumped in and began attacking, mocking and giving their opinions, but none of them were able to refute the knowledge, claims and proofs of the Mahdi Abdullah Hashem.

But two people remained oddly silent… Mohammed Hijab and Ali Dawah. As the frustration of their followers increased and their pleading that the two supposed spokespeople for the Islamic youth in the UK need to step up and do something, both Hijab and Ali Dawah arrived to the trend way too late. This 10 minute video posted on Mohammed Hijab’s YouTube channel with over 1 million subscribers, came out nearly two months after Abdullah Hashem had already reached the entire world. He brings back his old friend Ali Dawah after a scandal that both of them have been facing together and normally I would not give a platform for those who are mocking and attacking our leader Abdullah Hashem, but this is just shameful on them and their followers and a proof to their community that they are upon nothing and falsehood.

Here is Mohammed Hijab and Ali Dawah “Responding to the Fake Mahdi” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVhLx93aoWo

Here are the “BIG TAKEAWAYS” from this long-awaited response to the Mahdi Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq, one that the followers of Mohammed Hijab and Ali Dawah have been waiting for — for over two years.

1. He’s a Kafir — meaning disbeliever
2. We make more money in a day than he has made on his fundraiser
3. This looks like some shiah group from Iran
4. He needs a slap in the face, slap his beanie off his head
5. Lots of laughing
6. This is not the way to identify the Mahdi

So Hijab and Ali Dawah come forward claiming Abdullah Hashem is a Kafir, without giving one single piece of evidence why. And their followers were shocked, absolutely shocked and reminded them that their morals and manners in this video reflect that of a kafir and is a bad representation of the religion and it has even impacted the faith of some of their followers.

They brag about “making more money in a day” than the Mahdi and for some reason this is a way for them and their followers to identify or deny whether Abdullah Hashem is the Mahdi or not?

This looks like a “Shiah group from Iran”? These guys couldn’t even do 5 minutes of research to know where Abdullah Hashem comes from, where the religion is established and that we operate our world headquarters in their backyard? No. They know all of that of course, it’s just they don’t have the ability to refute the knowledge, manners and proofs of Abdullah Hashem — so they mock and laugh and lie and try to dismiss this as fake, as kufr, as something from Iran, to try and dismiss and belittle the Mahdi movement, but it backfired on them.

Then the big offense that not only offended the believers in Abdullah Hashem, but God Himself. Mohammed Hijab goes on to say that Abdullah Hashem needs a “Slap in the Face” and implied someone needed to “slap his beanie off his head”. God immediately slapped him back, when their followers took to his comment feed and began exposing the controversy and scandal circling both Mohammed Hijab and Ali Dawah, about alleged cases of Rape and for running “Mutah Hotels”, which is essentially prostitution disguised as temporary religious marriages. Oddly enough, temporary marriages are one of the biggest things that Mohammed Hijab and the likes of him and Ali Dawah as sunnis, attack the Shiah for issuing.

There are too many comments to highlight, you can scroll through the comment feed yourself from the video link shared above. Another random comment that Mohammed Hijab said was “this is not the way to identify the Mahdi” and he never gives the way you identify the Mahdi. There is a reason for this, because he knows that he will be cornered and bring up a topic with his audience that he does not want them to explore.

The truth is, characters like Mohammed Hijab and Ali Dawah will tell you the Mahdi will just appear at the Kaaba in Saudi Arabia and that’s it. They will tell you the whole world will recognize the Mahdi and that the Mahdi will never claim to be the Mahdi, he will be chosen by the scholars. But these are all lies and fabrications and misunderstandings. How is the Mahdi going to come out with a dawah and movement, if the people do not know what the message and mission is?

What the likes of Mohammed Hijab and Ali Dawah don’t want their followers to know is that the Prophet Mohammed and his Ahlul Bayt, peace be upon them all, did give us the key and blueprint to identify the Qaim, or the Mahdi. It is called the “Law of Knowing the Hujjah” or proof of God. In this Law, there are three criteria that can only exist in the Qaim and no one else. This Law is also protected from misguidance and no one can claim these three criteria altogether but the rightful claimant and if any does try to claim the Law falsely, their life will be cut short.

This Law consists of 1. The Divine Will of Prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him and his family. 2. The Divine Knowledge — Infallible knowledge on all religious matters, matters of the unseen and soul world. 3. The Divine Banner that has “written in it ‘Allegiance is to Allah’”. This is how you identify the Qaim, the Mahdi. And no man in over 1,400 years has come forward saying “I am the Abdullah in the Will of Prophet Mohammed”. No man has come forward with the divine irrefutable knowledge of the religious matters and matters of the unseen and soul world — like Abdullah Hashem and no man has raised the prophesied banner “Allegiance is to Allah”, but him. And on top of that, Abdullah Hashem fulfilled two more prophecies, from the hundred-plus he has fulfilled, when he “appeared at the age of 32” after the prophesied “death of King Abdullah of Hijaz”. That was back in 2015 when he raised the banner and told the whole world that he is the Qaim and he is the Abdullah mentioned in the Will of the Prophet.

That’s what Mohammed Hijab and Ali Dawah want to dismiss and downplay and want you to turn your heads away from and personally I thank them for their shameful, weak, ignorant, immoral and distasteful response… because you Mohammed and Ali only exposed yourselves and the nothingness you are upon and exposed your followers to a dark reality of what the nonworking scholars have spawned in the End Times. You also drove a great deal of traffic to our platforms, where people are learning about the true religion of Islam, the true history of the Mohammed and the family of Mohammed, peace be upon them all, and how the likes of you back in the day oppressed them and murdered them and distorted the truth for their own worldly gains. They are also coming to know more about the Will of the Prophet, the Banner and the divine knowledge of the Qaim Abdullah Hashem Aba al-Sadiq and the pledges of allegiance continue to increase.

All praises due to God first and foremost, to my master and Imam Aba al-Sadiq, to the thousands of believers around the world who propagate this call day and night, and to disbelievers and enemies like you who spread this call whether you like it or not. You know, you too actually fulfill prophecies, the likes of you at least. There is a prophecy where people from the east to the west in the time of the Qaim, are forced to speak his name, title and kunya, whether they like it or not. So they are forced to say Abdullah Hashem “Aba al-Sadiq”, which is his kunya, Aba al-Sadiq meaning the “Father of Truth”, and that he is the Mahdi and claims to be in the Will of the Prophet Mohammed, and raised a banner “Allegiance is to Allah” and is the only man on the planet calling people back to the Supremacy of God. You also fulfill narrations and prophecies that the nonworking scholars of Islam and their followers are the “worst creation under the shade of the sky”, “scum of the sea”, “traitors to Islam”, “enemies of the Mahdi”, “void of any guidance” and a “greater fitna than the dajjal and the armies of Yazid”.

But that’s okay for us and for all those who are sincerely seeking the truth and making their way to the Mahdi as we speak, because the prophecies continue and say that “from them the fitna comes out and to them it shall return” and that “no matter what they do, they are only paving the way for the Mahdi.”
