In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, and peace be upon the Messengers, and praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds..

My dear brother Mahmoud Al-Masri, take it easy, may God bless you, and do not turn the Shiites away from following the truth, and do not let any bearer of burdens bear the burden of another, for this is a devil from among the devils of mankind who is fabricating lies about the awaited Mahdi, writing private messages in his name for the dialogue table, and we will soon discover him and uproot him from the dialogue table like a wicked tree uprooted from the earth, having no stability, so do not burden the Twelver Shiites with his sin, do you not know that among the early, good supporters who believed and followed Imam Mahdi Nasser Muhammad Al-Yamani are some of the Sunnis and some of them are Twelver Shiites and from various Islamic schools of thought?

O you good, early supporters, the Imam Mahdi forbids you from insulting any group of Muslims

such as if one of the Sunni supporters insults the Shiites, or if one of the Shiites insults the Sunnis. This is rejected in the call of the awaited Mahdi, Nasser Muhammad al-Yamani, in its entirety. If you are followers of Nasser Muhammad al-Yamani, then reject partisan fanaticism in religion and reject sectarian pluralism in religion.

I call upon the Shiites, the Sunnis, and all Islamic sects to unite their ranks and join together, and to follow the Book of God and the true Sunnah of His Messenger. We worship God as one God, there is no god but He, and we are Muslims to Him.

Do not be among those who have divided their religion into sects

each party rejoicing in what they have. God did not make the Imam Mahdi from the Twelver Shi'a, nor did He make him from the Sunnis, nor from any of the religious sects that have divided their religion into factions, each rejoicing in what they possess.

I am not one of them in any way, neither I nor my grandfather Muhammad, the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him and his family).

This is in accordance with the words of God Almighty:

{Those who have divided their religion and become sects - you, [O Muhammad], are not [associated] with them in anything.} [Al-An'am: 6:159].

This is because God has forbidden Muslims from dividing their religion into sects.

And Allah Almighty said:

{Turning to Him in repentance and fearing Him and establishing prayer and do not be of those who associate others with Allah. [31] Of those who have divided their religion and become sects, each faction rejoicing in what it has. [32]}

God Almighty has spoken the truth. [Ar-Rum :31-32]

Whatever your differences, you have no excuse to divide your religion into sects, as long as you agree on a common word between you that you worship none but God.

So leave your sectarian differences, and hold fast to the verses of the Mother of the Book that are understood by your scholar and your ignorant, and follow the clear verses of God’s Book and the true Sunnah of His Messenger that do not contradict the clear verses of the Book.

And whatever does not contradict them and does not agree with them, refer it back to your minds if you understand. By God, if you were to abandon confirmed Sunnahs for the sake of not dividing yourselves and scattering your unity, God would forgive you and would not ask you about them because you sacrificed them for the sake of not dividing yourselves so that your strength would not be lost.

This is because your division is a danger to the true Islamic religion in its entirety

and it will be lost with the loss of your strength due to your division into sects and parties.

‍

O nation of Islam, its scholars and its ignorant, God has made me an imam for you and a leader of His party on earth against the tyrant and his allies. I call you to worship God alone, without any partner, and to be brothers in the service of God, so that we may purify your hearts, by God’s permission, from polytheism and hatred, and make you one nation like one body, so that if one part of it is afflicted, the whole body responds with sleeplessness and fever.

So if America declares war on Iran, it is not permissible for any Muslim king or president who believes in God to remain silent or gloat. Rather, God commands him to condemn and declare his support for his Muslim brothers in the state of Iran. It is not permissible for you to help the enemies of God to strike your Muslim brothers, no matter what your differences may be. Do not forget that they bear witness that there is no god but God and that Muhammad is the Messenger of God, may God bless him and his family and grant them peace. Likewise, it is not permissible for the Iranians to remain silent about the aggression coming from the disbelievers against any Islamic state, Arab or non-Arab. Whoever helps a disbeliever to fight a Muslim is one of them, and God has cursed him and prepared for him a humiliating punishment.

This is because the believers in God and His Messenger are allies of one another, and it is not appropriate for a Muslim to ally with those who disbelieve against his Muslim brothers, no matter what your differences may be in religion, for you are Muslims to God, Lord of the worlds.

And Allah Almighty said:

{O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you - then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed, Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.} [Al-Ma'idah: 51].

And whatever your differences in religion, Allah has gathered you together on the Day of the Greater Pilgrimage, Sunnis and Shiites and from all Islamic schools of thought, every year.

And Allah has forbidden any of the disbelievers to approach your gathering place, neither in the Sacred Mosque, nor in Arafat, nor in Mina, nor in all of Mecca. And I see some Muslims wanting America and its allies to strike Iran, who are our Muslim brothers. Do you not fear Allah?

But I, the Imam Mahdi, declare my support for all Islamic nations, Arab and non-Arab, against those who oppose them and declare war upon them.

I will declare war upon them with all the power I possess, should God grant me power on Earth, regardless of any differences in religious matters between us. The most important thing is that we agree upon a common ground: that we worship none but God alone, without any partners.

Do you, O Muslims, think that if the alliance of tyranny were to strike Iran, they would leave you alone? No, by my Lord! They seek only to incite conflict among you to weaken you, then to destroy you and your pure Islamic faith.

Do you not know that America supported the Sufyani, Saddam Hussein, in his war against Iran for eight years? And now they have struck the Sufyani, Saddam Hussein al-Majid, invaded Basra, and expelled him after he helped them weaken the Islamic Republic of Iran! And now they are plotting to strike Iran and then all the Arab states. The awaited Mahdi is not pleased with the Islamic Republic of Iran because their stance was as bad as that of all the Arab states regarding the aggression against Iraq.

They didn't even dare to call it aggression against Iraq; rather, they call it war on Iraq on their satellite channels. And, by God! Isn't Iraq an Arab Muslim country with your Muslim brothers there?

Do you Arabs have no sense of Arab nationalism or religious zeal for Muslims?

‍

And you, O people of Iran, government and people, have abandoned the zeal of religion and have not stood with your Muslim brothers in Iraq! And now America and its allies are turning towards you to strike you after striking Iraq.

Is it not time, O Muslims, to unite against any aggression against any Islamic country, Arab or non-Arab?

Or will you wait until they strike you one country after another?

Shame on you! We do not command you to attack people; rather, we command you to defend your land, your honor, and your religion if you are believers.

Or do you fear the enemies of God?

And God Almighty said: {Do you fear them? But God is more worthy of your fear, if you are believers.} God Almighty has spoken the truth [At-Tawbah 9:13].

O Muslims, God commands you to fight those who attack your brothers, so fight them all together as they fight you all together, and you know this. America did not invade Iraq alone, but with all its allies of polytheists and Jews, meaning they fought you all together.

So why have you disobeyed God's command in His clear Book, O Arab and Islamic governments, including the Islamic Republic of Iran? Why have you disobeyed God's command in His clear Book to all Muslim countries, Arab and non-Arab alike?

God Almighty says:

{And fight the polytheists all together as they fight you all together. And know that God is with the righteous.} [At-Tawbah: 36].

Or do you think this verse is not clear and decisive regarding fighting? Or do you think it is still waiting for an imam to interpret it for the Muslims? Rather, it is one of the clear verses from the Mother of the Book, the Great Qur’an. Do you not fear God? Or do you not know what the verses of the Mother of the Book are? If you turn away from implementing any command in any clear verse, God will punish you because it is one of the fundamentals of the religion.

And Allah Almighty said:

{O you who have believed, what is [the matter] with you that, when you are told to go forth in the cause of Allah, you cling heavily to the earth? Are you satisfied with the life of this world rather than the Hereafter? But what is the enjoyment of worldly life compared to the Hereafter except a little? (38) If you do not go forth, He will punish you with a painful punishment and replace you with another people, and you will not harm Him at all. And Allah is over all things competent. (39)}

Allah Almighty has spoken the truth. [At-Tawbah: 9:38].

O people of all Arab nations, do not let your stance towards Iran be like Iran's shameful stance towards Iraq and Afghanistan, nor like your shameful stance towards Iraq and Afghanistan.

Convene an urgent conference of all Islamic nations

Arab and non-Arab, and declare that, whatever your sectarian and border differences, you stand united against anyone who declares war on any Islamic state, Arab or non-Arab, so that your enemies will fear you and refrain from invading you, and cease their war against your religion under the pretext of terrorism.

O Muslims, what do you think of those who went out with the Muslims to fight the infidel aggressors, and during the fighting encountered fierce resistance from the infidels, and some of the Muslims were defeated by the sheer force of their enemies?

Let us consider their fate before God. In confirmation of the words of God Almighty:

{O you who have believed, when you meet those who disbelieve advancing [for battle], do not turn to them your backs [in flight]. (15) And whoever turns his back to them on such a day, unless swerving [for tactical reasons] or joining [another] company - then he has incurred the wrath of God, and his refuge is Hell - and wretched is the destination. (16)}

God Almighty has spoken the truth [Al-Anfal 8:15-16].

Consider the outcome:

{He has incurred the wrath of God, and his abode is Hell, and wretched is the destination.}

God Almighty has spoken the truth, Glory be to God Almighty!

Despite this Muslim having gone out with his fellow Muslims to fight the aggressor disbelievers, he encountered fierce resistance from the disbelievers and retreated in flight: {He has incurred the wrath of God, and his abode is Hell, and wretched is the destination.}

God Almighty has spoken the truth.

The question that arises is: If this is the punishment for one who went out and fought with his fellow Muslims, yet encountered fierce resistance from the disbelievers and was defeated, turning his back and fleeing—not out of treachery, but out of cowardice—then what about one who aids the disbelievers against the Muslims?

And what about the one who did not go out with his Muslim brothers to defend the land and honor at all, and stayed behind in his house and did not participate with them in the fighting at all? What will be his result with his Lord, O leaders of the Muslims and their scholars who look at how the infidels and transgressors are doing to their brothers in Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere, and they remain in their homes, and the bravest of them will not say anything more than: “I condemn what the infidels are doing to my Muslim brothers in such and such country!”

And he was satisfied with that and did not enjoin what is right nor forbid what is wrong.

And condemnation is not just with words, so if your position is nothing but condemnation and that is enough for you, then you will not attain God’s pleasure, but rather you will attain God’s wrath and anger.

And Allah Almighty said: {Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth glorifies Allah, and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise. (1) O you who have believed, why do you say what you do not do? (2) It is most hateful to Allah that you say what you do not do. (3) Indeed, Allah loves those who fight in His cause in a row as though they are a [single] structure joined firmly. (4)}

Allah Almighty has spoken the truth. [As-Saff 61:1-4]

What I want to say is that if your denial continues until the party of tyranny declares war on any Arab or non-Arab Islamic state, then let all the presidents and kings of the Arab and Islamic states, along with their esteemed religious scholars, convene in the holy city of Mecca, hosted by King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.

We ask nothing of you except that you declare a single resolution to all of humanity: that, regardless of your sectarian differences, you are bound by what you all agree upon—Sunni, Shia, and all other Islamic schools of thought—that God, in His clear Book, commands all Muslims to fight those who fight their fellow Muslims from among the disbelievers and polytheists.

This is in accordance with the words of God Almighty: {And fight the polytheists collectively as they fight you collectively. And know that God is with the righteous.} [At-Tawbah: 36]
Therefore, all Arab and Islamic countries, and all Islamic schools of thought in every country, both in rural and urban areas, have resolved to repel any aggression against any Arab or non-Arab Islamic state.

Through this resolution, God will grant you victory

unite your hearts, be pleased with you, guide you to the straight path, and forgive you, for He is the Forgiving, the Merciful. He will, by His grace, make you brothers in faith, remove hatred, envy, and the evil of Satan from your hearts, and purify you completely.

If you do not do this, then you have apostatized from your religion, and I give you glad tidings of punishment from God, the One, the Subduer.

This is in accordance with the words of God Almighty: {And if you turn away, He will replace you with another people; then they will not be like you.} God Almighty has spoken the truth [Muhammad: 47:38].

‍

But they are a people whom God loves and who love Him

supporters of the awaited Mahdi, Nasser Muhammad al-Yamani.

In confirmation of the words of God Almighty: {O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you - then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed, God does not guide the wrongdoing people. (51) So you see those in whose hearts is a disease hastening towards them, saying, "We fear that a misfortune may befall us." But perhaps God will bring victory or a command from Him.} (52) And those who believed will say, “Are these the ones who swore by Allah their strongest oaths that they were with you?” Their deeds have become worthless, and they have become losers. (53) O you who have believed, whoever of you should revert from his religion - Allah will bring forth [in place of them] a people He will love and who will love Him, humble toward the believers, mighty [in power]. They strive against the disbelievers in the cause of Allah and do not fear the blame of any critic. That is the bounty of Allah; He grants it to whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing. (54)}

Allah Almighty has spoken the truth. [Al-Ma'idah 5:51].

Peace be upon the Messengers, and praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds.
Your brother, the Muslim, Arab and non-Arab alike; Imam Mahdi Nasser Muhammad Al-Yamani
