🕸️ 12 Imams + 12 Mahdis: A Jewish Chain of Deception in Islamic Disguise

A doctrine inherited without divine revelation, concealed behind numbers and occult lineages, is not religion – it is a trap of the devil disguised as faith

🧭 Introduction: When Numbers Become the Foundation of Religion

Muslims were taught that this religion was completed by Rasulullah ﷺ and sealed with him as the final Prophet. Yet, a deviant structure emerged, claiming that after the Prophet, 12 infallible Imams would come, and after them, 12 hidden Mahdis, with succession based on blood, lineage, and secret knowledge. The 12th Imam is said to be in occultation, and the 12th Mahdi is proclaimed as the savior of the world.

This structure is not only unsupported by divine revelation, but it is a direct replica of Jewish, Gnostic, and pagan traditions, systematically designed to create a chain of hidden rulers culminating in the appearance of a “savior.”
However, this savior is not from Allah. It is the ultimate mask of Dajjal hiding under the name of Mahdi.

📜 1. No Evidence in the Quran for a 12 Imams + 12 Mahdis Structure

The Quran never established any structure after the Prophet ﷺ except for the principles of shura (consultation) and faithfulness to Allah and His Messenger. Allah says:

"This day I have perfected your religion for you, completed My favor upon you, and have approved Islam as your religion."
(Al-Ma’idah: 3)

If the religion has been perfected, why would there be a need to add a secret chain of successors – a chain that was never mentioned explicitly in the Quran or any authentic hadith?

📚 2. No Authentic Hadith Supports This Doctrine — Only Fabricated Texts from Ghulat Books

The only authentic hadith states:

"There will be twelve leaders from Quraysh."
(Sahih Muslim 1821d)

There is no authentic hadith mentioning 12 infallible Imams or 12 hidden Mahdis.
The full narrative about such a structure only exists in Bihar al-Anwar (authored by Muhammad Baqir al-Majlisi, 17th century) and in Kitab al-Ghaybah, which spread the idea of an occulted Mahdi and secret inheritance.

These are not sources accepted by the majority of the Muslim ummah – and are filled with weak and fabricated reports.

🧱 3. The 12 + 12 Structure Is a Copy of Jewish and Pagan Religious Systems

• Judaism: 12 tribes of Israel and prophetic succession by bloodline.

• Gnosticism: 12 hidden disciples preserving divine “gnosis.”

• Mithraism: The god Mithras surrounded by 12 zodiacal entities, set to return at the end times.

The concepts of hidden saviors, bloodline inheritance, and eschatological restoration are ancient doctrines of false religions.
The Shia Ghulat simply copied these structures and branded them as “Islam.”

📉 4. Inheriting Knowledge by Blood Is a False Doctrine

Prophetic knowledge is not inherited through bloodline.

• Prophet Nuh had a disbelieving son.

• Prophet Lut had a wife who was destroyed.

Allah explicitly states that prophethood and revelation are granted according to His wisdom, not based on blood relation.

"And when there comes to them an Ayah, they say: 'We shall not believe until we receive like that which the Messengers of Allah received.' Allah knows best with whom to place His Message. Humiliation from Allah and severe torment will befall the criminals for their evil plotting."
(Al-An’am: 124)

The Shia Ghulat doctrine elevates bloodline to a status of divine sanctity – a form of minor divinity that was never taught in Islam.

🕵️‍♂️ 5. Ahmad al-Hassan: A Fabricated Mahdi Who Paved the Way for the Global False Mahdi

After centuries of this structure fading from attention, a man emerged in early 2000s Iraq – Ahmad al-Hassan – who revived the doctrine of 12 Mahdis after 12 Imams.
He claimed to be the representative of the hidden Imam, later declaring himself the first Mahdi, even claiming to be the “spiritual son” of the hidden Imam.

He established a network of "representatives," urged people to pledge digital allegiance, and built a cult following based on the idea that each Mahdi after the 12th Imam would arise silently, bearing a hidden message.

Ahmad al-Hassan revived the occult code.
He was the bridge between classical Shia Ghulat structures and the modern global Mahdi movement.
He laid the final groundwork for the rise of the American Dajjal Mahdi: Abdullah Hashem.

☠️ 6. Abdullah Hashem: The False 12th Mahdi, Completing the Chain of Deception

Abdullah Hashem did not just claim to be a Mahdi.
He declared himself the “completer of the secret testament” from the texts of Bihar al-Anwar.
He proclaimed himself the 12th Mahdi among the Mahdis, now spreading his "global message" through videos, AI-generated voices, and unverifiable mystical claims.

Without Ahmad al-Hassan, Abdullah Hashem would have had no foundation.

Without the 12 Mahdi structure, he would have had no place.

Without fabricated hadiths, he would have had no argument.

Abdullah Hashem is not the Mahdi.
He is the final product of Dajjal within a 1,000-year-old occult deception.

🚫 The Sharpest Conclusion

• The structure of 12 Imams + 12 Mahdis does not exist in the Quran or authentic hadith.

• It is a borrowed system from Jewish, Gnostic, and pagan religions.

• Inheriting knowledge through bloodline is an innovation of Shia Ghulat.

• Ahmad al-Hassan is the first fabricated Mahdi of the modern era.

• Abdullah Hashem is the false 12th Mahdi – the final script of Dajjal.

And whoever awaits a savior from this chain is, in truth, awaiting Dajjal disguised as Mahdi.
