Refutation of Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq's Claims

---

1. Introduction

In the video titled "6th Covenant with Mohammed: The Commandment of Love for Ahlul Bayt", Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq puts forward a series of claims regarding Jesus, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), the concept of "God in creation," a purported "transfer of covenant" from the descendants of Isaac to Ishmael, as well as ideas about twelve Imams and an additional line of "12 Mahdis." The following sections quote his statements (with timestamps from the provided transcript) and provide refutations rooted in the Qur'an, authentic Hadith, mainstream Islamic scholarship, and relevant Biblical/Torah references.

2. Claim 1: Exalting Jesus Above All Other Prophets (00:00-02:13)

2.1. Quote from Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq

2.2. Refutation from Qur'an and Hadith

1. All Prophets Are Honored Equally in the Qur'an
The Qur'an teaches that no distinction in fundamental rank should be made among the Prophets (though some had special honors):

Although Allah mentions that some prophets have certain merits above others (Qur'an 17:55), it is not an invitation to declare one prophet "infinitely" beyond all others. Islam forbids exaggeration that leads to undue glorification of one prophet over all others.

2. Hadith Warnings Against Exaggeration
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

By analogy, Muslims are also cautioned not to exaggerate the status of any Prophet, including Jesus, beyond what Allah has stated.

3. Claim 2: The Supposed Betrayal of Jesus by His Companions and the End of Prophethood for Israel (02:13-05:08)

3.1. Quote from Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq

3.2. Refutation from Qur'an, Hadith, and Islamic Teachings

1. Qur'anic View on Jesus's Crucifixion
The Qur'an states that the Children of Israel attempted to crucify Jesus but clarifies:

From an Islamic viewpoint, the attempt occurred, but Allah protected Jesus. Hence, the notion of complete betrayal by all of Jesus's companions is also contrary to the overall Islamic understanding and even contradicts mainstream Christian beliefs (which hold 11 faithful apostles).

2. No Qur'anic Evidence of 'End of Prophethood' for Children of Israel
Nowhere in the Qur'an does it state that the Children of Israel were permanently barred from receiving guidance or prophets. They were rebuked for rejecting messengers, but no verse indicates an eternal termination of prophethood specifically for them. Moreover, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was sent to all nations (Qur'an 21:107).

4. Claim 3: The Prophet Muhammad as "God in Creation" or a "Manifestation of God" (07:23-09:37, 12:07-14:17)

4.1. Quote from Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq

4.2. Refutation from Qur'an, Hadith, and Orthodox Doctrine

1. Absolute Transcendence of Allah
A central tenet of Islamic creed ( 'aqidah ) is:

Allah does not incarnate, nor is any prophet or imam "God in creation." He is completely unique and above any partnership or merging with creation.

2. Prophet Muhammad's Own Words
The Prophet (peace be upon him) declared his humanity clearly:

The Prophet and his orthodox successors never claimed any fusion with the Divine. Such beliefs are unanimously rejected by mainstream Sunni and Twelver Shia scholarship.

5. Claim 4: False Transfer of Covenant to Ishmael's Descendants (03:24-05:08)

5.1. Quote from Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq

And they reject[ed Jesus].

5.2. Refutation from the Qur'an and Islamic Scholarship

1. Covenant with Abraham's Descendants
The Qur'an indeed acknowledges both lines of Abraham: Ishmael and Isaac. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) comes from the line of Ishmael, fulfilling God's promise to bless Ishmael's progeny (cf. Genesis 17:20^[3]). However, there is no Qur'anic statement affirming a permanent and exclusive transfer of the covenant from Isaac's lineage to Ishmael's. Favor from Allah is based on belief and righteousness, not purely on lineage (Qur'an 2:124^[1]).

2. Scholarly Understanding
Classical Muslim scholars interpret Qur'anic rebukes of Bani Israel as conditional upon their disobedience. This does not equate to a total, irreversible cancellation of all divine favor or guidance for the entire lineage of Israel. The covenant is about responsibility and guidance, not merely genealogy.

5.3. Bible and Torah Evidence

From a Biblical/Torah perspective, the claim that God's covenant moved entirely from Isaac's descendants to Ishmael's contradicts the plain text:

According to the Torah, Isaac is the primary covenant-bearer. Ishmael is also blessed (Genesis 17:20; 21:13^[3]), but it does not say the original covenant with Isaac was "broken." Hence, the speaker's assertion that there is a complete break from Israel to Ishmael is unsupported by the Bible/Torah as well as the Qur'an.

6. Claim 5: Exaggeration in the Status of the Twelve Imams and the So-Called 12 "Mahdis" (20:14-30:31)

6.1. Quote from Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq

6.2. Refutation from Qur'an, Hadith, and Mainstream Shia & Sunni Views

1. Twelve Imams in Mainstream (Twelver) Shia
Twelver Shia do believe in 12 Imams after the Prophet (peace be upon him). However, they do not regard these Imams as "God in creation." They affirm the Imams as divinely appointed guides, still fully human and servants of Allah. Deification is strictly rejected in Twelver theology.

2. Lack of Authenticity for "Will" Mentioning 12 Mahdis
Mainstream Shia hadith collections do not accept as authentic any narration that claims 12 additional "Mahdis" will come after the 12 Imams. This is considered a deviation by established Usuli Twelver scholars.

3. No Prophetic Statement that Imams Are "God on Earth"
Both Sunni and mainstream Shia teachings emphasize that the Prophet and the Imams are humble servants of Allah, never incarnations of the Divine. Exaggerations like these have been condemned in various eras of Islamic history.

7. Conclusion

The statements made by Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq throughout his video contain multiple doctrinal errors and exaggerations not supported by the Qur'an, authentic Hadith, mainstream Islamic scholarship, or the Biblical/Torah narrative.

• Islam honors all prophets without extreme hierarchy.
• The existence of a final Prophet from Ishmael's lineage does not equate to an absolute break in God's covenant with Isaac's descendants.
• The notion that any prophet or imam is "God in creation" contradicts the central Islamic doctrine of tawhid.
• Exaggerating the Twelve Imams' status by including "12 more Mahdis" or attributing divinity to them is outside the scope of recognized Sunni and Twelver Shia beliefs.

In summary, only Allah is worthy of worship and is utterly transcendent. Neither the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) nor any of his descendants or companions should be described as incarnations or manifestations of the Divine. Such beliefs contradict the explicit statements of the Qur'an, as well as the teachings of orthodox Islamic scholarship and the plain reading of Biblical/Torah texts.
