The coming female Mahdī, Qāʾim, Messiah and Christ

 

303

A central doctrine of pristine Imāmī ShiꜤism is al-Badāʾ (البداء); meaning the “alteration of the divine plans.” In this doctrine, the All-High is capable of changing Its own plans and prophecies from the past in an instant because It is not bound to them and possesses the power to do anything, at anytime, in any way It wills or desires!

 

So, let us say for the sake of argument, that the All-High were to decree that the Mahdī, Qāʾim, Messiah and Christ that all await with anticipation will actually appear as a woman rather than a man. If you are bound to the letter of prophecy rather than its spirit, which is animated by the Living God, you will reject this female Mahdī, Qāʾim, Messiah and Christ, wouldn't you, because it isn't Allah (swt) and Its will who you seek, but confirmation of your hand-me-down beliefs instead? Kufr (infidelity) is not just about material idols from the past. It also exists in the present with the compounded veils that most religious people put upon themselves.

 

And this is why - as the Qur'an points out repeatedly - humanity keeps rejecting and persecuting those divine messengers, saints and vicegerents that the All-High keeps sending to humanity precisely because most of this humanity is not seeking the All-High at all but rather their own whims and biases.

 

But I am here to tell you that this situation is indeed a fact, and this is one of the core teachings of the NUR-Fatimiya Sufi Order, i.e. that the Mahdī, Qāʾim, Messiah and Christ that is coming is indeed going to be a woman, which we refer to in our Order as She whom God shall make Manifest (هي يُظهرها الله) and the Greater Fāṭima ,جلّ ذكرها وعزّ ظهورها!

 

O ye Muslims, if you think this is a problem and heresy, Allah (sws) doesn't care, for the Almighty does whatever It wills, whenever It wills, however It wills!

 

إِنَّمَا البَهَاءُ البَهَاءُ مِنْ عِندِ اللَّهِ يَا نُورَ الأَنْوَارِ عَلَى هِيَ يُظْهِرُهَا اللَّه بِالْعَلَاءِ الْعَلَاءِ
