The Seventh Covenant
A new covenant has been made between God and His believing souls in this day and age. The Seventh Covenant.
Learn more about the covenants with God through time, and the covenant we have with Him today.
"But those who break the covenant of Allāh after contracting it and sever that which Allāh has
ordered to be joined and spread corruption on earth - for them is the curse, and they will have the
worst home. - The Holy Qur’an, Chapter 13 (Al-Ra'd), Verse 2
And We did not find for most of them any covenant; but indeed, We found most of them
defiantly disobedient. - The Holy Qur’an, Chapter 7 (Al-Araf), Verse 102
Today, God has brought to us a new and everlasting Covenant, the 7th Covenant. Many people believe that they have a relationship with God. They believe that God is pleased with their works, their worship, and their rituals. Completely unaware to the fact that God does not care about what they are doing, and has nothing to do with them. God had established a Covenant with the people of the past, but time after time they would break it, severing their relationship with Him and becoming a people worthy of divine retribution and punishment. If a single word could describe the Relationship between God and Man, it is, “Covenant.” God has made it an obligation to hold on to his covenant and to never break it.
The story of humanity’s relationship with its Creator is the story of a Covenant. For when He
created Adam (PBUH), He entered into a Covenant with him. A Covenant means a Will. For
whenever a father makes a Covenant with his son or when he leaves with his son his Will, in
both cases, the Covenant and the Will are legal declarations of the father’s wishes in regards to
the disposal of his property and affairs. - Goal of the Wise, Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq,
Door 1 (The Covenant With Adam (PBUH)), p. 3
Humanity has had a total of six Covenants in the past with six founders for each starting with Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Mohammed (PBUT). The Mohammedan Covenant came with it’s laws and jurisprudence, but one in particular was the most important and vital commandment to be uphold which without it the Muslims would earn the wrath of God God instructed Mohammed (PBUH & His Family) to state:
“Say: “No reward do I ask of you for
this except the love of those near of kin.” - The Holy Qur’an, Chapter 42 (Al-Shura), Verse 23
However, the Muslims did not love the Ahlul-Bayt (From Them is Peace). Rather they killed and hunted down his family, and the poisoned all the the successors of Mohammed (PBUH & His Family) and pointed the sword at his grandson Imam Al Hussein (From Him is Peace), all have passed away except for the Twelfth Imam, Mohammed ibn Al-Hassan Al-Askari, Al Mahdi (PBUH & His Family) who went into an absence as a child. It was the oppression of the Muslims towards the holy sacred household that Imam Mahdi (PBUH & His Family) went into an absence and not for anything else. The Muslims have broken the Covenant, their testimony of faith, their prayer, their fasting, their charity, their hajj all mean nothing because they do not have a Covenant with God. The only people that have a Covenant with God are those that know the Imam of the time today. Prophet Mohammed (PBUH & His Family) said:
“Whoever dies and doesn’t pledge allegiance
to the Imam of his time has died the death of ignorance.” - Al-Aql wa Al-Jahl fi Al-Kitab wa AlSunnah, Mohammed Al-Reyshahri, p. 275
But God has never turned his face away from Man, he is the most merciful, the intensely merciful, and today we are under a new Covenant, a the final and everlasting and covenant, the Seventh covenant, brought to us by the Twelfth Imam, Mohammed ibn Al-Hassan Al-Askari, Al Mahdi (PBUH & His Family) and his successors and messengers, the First Mahdi Imam Ahmed al-Hassan the Yamani and the Second Mahdi Abdullah Hashem Aba Al Sadiq the Qaim of the family of Mohammed (From them is peace). They are the ones who are mentioned in the Will of Prophet Mohammed (PBUH & His Family) and they have claimed to be the names Mohammed, Abdullah and Ahmed mentioned in it. The Will is the first of a three part law on how to identify the vicegerent of God, the second is that he demonstrates God-hidden knowledge to the people, and the third is that he calls to the supremacy of God and not to the supremacy of the people. Once he is identified as Gods appointed one, their is no excuse to reject him. Imam Al-Sadiq (From Him is Peace) said:
“If the Riser rises he shall call the people to a new
Islam, and he shall guide them to a matter that was lost and that the people strayed from, and
verily the Riser was called a Mahdi [a Guide] because he guides to a matter which is lost, and
he was called a Riser because he rises with the truth.” - Bihar Al-Anwar, Al-Allamah Al-Majlisi,
Vol. 51, p. 30
Imam Mohammed Al-Baqir (From Him is Peace) said:
“The Qaim/Riser shall rise with a new
matter, and a new book, and a new jurisprudence/rule which will be hard for the Arabs.” - Kitab
Al-Ghayba (Book of Occultation), Al-Numani, Vol. 1, p. 236
The Qaim and Riser of the Family of Mohammed is Abdullah Hashem Aba Al Sadiq (From Him is Peace). He is the only one who has come enforcing the Seventh Covenant, he is the world savior, the Companion of Egypt, the Mahdi, the Qaim who has been prophesied to come. He revealed a great deal of knowledge especially regarding matters the soul, soulmates, soul families and many other secrets and matters. Only the Qaim could bring to the people. And according to the Book, Al-Haft Al-Shareef, the Qaim uses the knowledge of the soul as a proof for his claim. Imam Al-Sadiq (From Him is Peace) said:
“Verily, God chose between the souls in
the shadows and then made them enter the bodies, and if our Qaim emerges he shall make the
brother inherit from the brother whom God paired him with in the shadows, and he does not
make him inherit from his physical brother, know him from that, and whoever knows him from
that there shall not remain upon him a stronger proof.” - Al-Haft Al-Shareef, Al-Mufaddel ibn
Omar Al-Jofi, Door 66, p. 129
He is also calling the people to the supremacy of God, because nobody should rule Gods earth or his lands except the one appointed by Him.
Say, "O Allāh, Owner of Sovereignty, You give sovereignty to whom You will and You take
sovereignty away from whom You will. You honor whom You will and You humble whom You
will. In Your hand is [all] good. Indeed, You are over all things competent. - The Holy Qur’an,
Chapter 3 (Al-Imran), Verse 26
What are the duties towards the Imam of the time? Our duty is to pledge allegiance to him, to go to him even if that meant crawling on ice. The Prince of the Believers Ali ibn Abi Talib (From Him is Peace) said:
“The Companion of
Egypt is the sign of signs, and his sign is wondrous and it has signs to it, his heart is Hassan
(good) and his head is Mohammed and he changes the name of his grandfather. If he emerges,
know that the Mahdi will knock on your doors, so before he knocks, fly to him in the domes of
the clouds or come to him even if you must crawl on ice.” - What Imam Ali said concerning the
End Times, Al-Sayed Ali Ashoor, p. 330
We also strip ourselves of our wealth, treasures and worldly possessions and we give it all to him in order to support him. Imam Al-Sadiq (From Him is Peace) said:
“Verily, if the believer has
any (money) he can spend it as he wishes on his children, but then if the
Qaim rises (the believer) carries to the Qaim what he has (of money and
property) and whatever is left over from that (money) he uses it for his
livelihood, then if he does that, (the believer) has fulfilled his
obligations.” - Bihar Al-Anwar, Al-Allamah Al-Majlisi, Vol. 70, p. 143
And also Imam Al-Sadiq (From Him is Peace) said:
“Our Shia can
spend whatever is in their hands as they please in goodness, but if our
Qaim rises then all treasures (wealth and fortune) becomes
impermissible for those who have treasures, and they must bring it in
order that the Qaim uses it against his enemies and that is the meaning
of the words of God, ‘Those who hoard gold and silver and do not spend
it in the way of God, give them glad tidings of a painful torment.” -
