In this episode of Hall of Mysteries, Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq opens a doorway into one of the oldest spiritual archetypes known to humanity. From the warnings of Hermes and the teachings of the prophets to the hidden patterns of nature itself, we explore the unseen forces shaping our world today. What is the true meaning of the “flood” that returns in every age? Why did ancient teachers speak of an Ark of Salvation?And what does it mean for believers to function as a single, living body? Through scripture, Gnostic wisdom, Hermetic revelation, and modern scientific insight, this episode uncovers the timeless struggle between ignorance and illumination — and the role of the believer in navigating the rising tide of darkness. Nothing in this world appears as it seems.The symbols are alive.And their meaning has returned. Welcome to the Hall of Mysteries.

In this episode of The School of Divine Mysteries, Aba Al-Sadiq explores one of the oldest and most thought-provoking myths in human history — a story used by ancient philosophers to explain why human beings feel incomplete, why we long for connection, and why love sits at the core of every true religion. What begins as a discussion of Plato’s strange tale of the “first human” unfolds into a deeper reflection on loneliness, unity, and the hidden purpose behind our relationships, friendships, and communities. Join us as we uncover the ancient wisdom behind our search for wholeness — and what it truly means for the spiritual journey of humanity.

What does it mean to follow God today—not in history, but in the present moment? In the first episode of The Mahdi’s Manifesto Podcast, Abdullah Hashem (Aba Al-Sadiq) explains the purpose, origins, and mission of a growing faith community built around the belief in a living, divinely appointed guide in every age. This episode addresses the questions many are afraid to ask: Why do believers gather around a living Imam? Is community life an obligation or a choice? How did prophetic societies function in the past—and can they exist again? What separates a divine community from cults, extremism, or political movements? Drawing on the lives of the Prophets and Messengers—from Adam, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, to the Apostles and the righteous of every nation—this conversation explores the timeless pattern of believers withdrawing from corruption to establish justice, brotherhood, and shared responsibility. The episode also speaks directly to modern concerns, clarifying the community’s firm commitment to peace, legality, compassion, and non-violence, while responding to media myths and public misunderstanding. At its core, this is not a call to fear—but a call to conscience. A call to reconsider what faith looks like when it is lived fully, openly, and together.
