The Qur’an Alone Will Save You: The Mahdi’s Warning to a Sleepwalking Ummah
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
There are verses that shake the world when understood, and yet most people recite them daily without knowing what they hold. Among the most profound clarifications from Imam Mahdi Nasser Mohammad Al-Yemeni is this:
“The Qur’an is a comprehensive message for both humans and jinn, containing all the keys to the unseen.”
This is no poetic exaggeration. The Qur’an describes itself as the final, detailed record - the book that explains all things, guides creation, and exposes the unseen from the first dawn of existence until the final Day.
But the tragedy of our age is that most who claim to follow it have instead followed narrations, sects, and rituals - forgetting the living word of Allah that sits on their shelves.
1. The Qur’an: Not Just a Book - But The Book
Imam Mahdi reminds us that the Qur’an is not a commentary on truth - it is the truth itself.
It is the original reference, the divine logic, and the filter through which every other claim must pass.
“It serves as the manual for the creation of Allah, who perfected everything.”
Allah describes it as:
“A book We have detailed with knowledge, a guidance and mercy for those who believe.” - [7:52]
The Qur’an is not partial revelation. It is total. It is not limited to seventh-century Arabia. It is eternal.
It is, as the Imam says, “the ultimate encyclopedia of humanity and jinn.”
2. The Great Trial: Dajjal and the Inversion of Truth
“The Jews have entrapped you in the trial of the false Messiah, thus you have become disbelievers after your faith.”
This is no simple warning - it is a revelation of inversion. The Dajjal’s fitnah is not only a coming deception. It is already here.
It began when Muslims abandoned the Qur’an as their primary source and allowed contradictory hadiths to define their creed.
We were told the Dajjal would perform miracles-reviving the dead, commanding the sky to rain. But Allah says:
“Falsehood can neither begin nor restore.” - [34:49]
Would Allah ever aid His enemies with miracles confirming falsehood? Impossible.
Yet billions believe it - because narrators said it.
“Glory be to Allah! They believe the words of ‘trustworthy’ narrators but reject the words of Allah.”
The deception is not outside the Ummah. It is inside it.
3. Logic, Language, and Light
The Imam calls us back to what the Qur’an itself demands - clarity.
He argues not from hidden verses or mystical symbols, but from the muhkamat - the clear verses that need no scholar to decode.
“I do not argue with ambiguous verses but with clear, definitive ones that require no interpretation.”
The Qur’an itself says:
“Do not follow what you have no knowledge of. Indeed, hearing, sight, and heart - all will be questioned.” - [17:36]
Reason is not an enemy of revelation. It is its instrument.
The Qur’an was sent to those who think.
4. The Collapse of Sectarian Islam
“There remains nothing of Islam except its name, and of the Qur’an except its written form in your hands.”
This is the state of the Ummah. Muslims today argue endlessly about schools of thought, loyalty to scholars, and the grading of hadith chains - but few can defend a single belief directly from the Qur’an.
The Imam’s methodology is revolutionary only because it is ancient.
He refuses to exalt any scholar above Allah’s word:
“If truth were to follow their desires, the heavens and the earth would be corrupted.” - [23:71]
He accepts every hadith that aligns with the Qur’an - and rejects every one that contradicts it.
Simple. Final. Unshakeable.
5. The Hidden Shirk of Praising Without Knowledge
“I do not say ‘Allah is pleased with so-and-so.’”
How often do Muslims speak of the companions, scholars, and saints as though they have access to Allah’s judgment?
The Imam points to the verse:
“So do not claim yourselves to be pure. He knows best who is truly mindful of Him.” - [53:32]
Even Prophet Noah did not testify to his own followers’ righteousness:
“Their account is only with my Lord, if you could perceive.” - [26:113]
To testify to a person’s piety is to speak about Allah without knowledge.
It is a subtle form of shirk - exalting our opinion over His unseen wisdom.
6. The Inversion Already Happened
“If someone told a donkey that Allah would grant miracles to the Dajjal, the donkey would say: ‘Allah is not insane!’”
In this stunning metaphor, the Imam exposes the absurdity of believing Allah would empower His enemies to rival His prophets. Yet Muslims defend such hadiths passionately.
We have been turned upside down without realizing it. We see falsehood as faith and faith as falsehood. The trial is complete.
7. The Qur’an Began Strange - and Returns Strange
“The Qur’an began as something strange in its revelation and will return as something strange in its interpretation.”
The Imam does not seek allegiance. He seeks alignment.
He says:
“My condition is that we appoint the Qur’an our reference for judgment.”
Whoever rejects him without proof from the Qur’an has not rejected him - they have rejected the Qur’an itself.
8. The Final Filter of Truth
This is the essence of his mission:
• To return judgment to Allah’s Book.
• To separate divine revelation from human narration.
• To restore Islam to its original logic and mercy.
And his challenge remains open:
“If you see that I am on misguidance, then save me through the Qur’an.”
No one has done so.
Closing Reflection
The Qur’an does not need defense. It needs return.
When Imam Mahdi says he argues only with knowledge, logic, and the Qur’an, he is not dismissing the Sunnah. He is defending its purity.
For the true Sunnah can never contradict the Qur’an - it can only clarify it.
“And in what discourse, after Allah and His signs, will they believe?” - [77:50]
The answer is simple: none.
Allahu Akbar.
And peace be upon the messengers, and praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
- Ibn Kahf, iPonder.
