The Messenger of Imam Mahdi | The Qaim Aba Al-Sadiq Abdullah Hashem -- Are these two people?

Image
Abdullah Hashem and Aba Al-Sadiq refer to the same individual. Abdullah Hashem, born in 1983 in the United States to an Egyptian father and an American mother, is the founder and leader of the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light (AROPL).   He is also known by the title Aba Al-Sadiq, which translates to "Father of the Truthful." In 2015, he publicly declared himself as the Qa'im (the Riser) and the Second Mahdi, succeeding his spiritual guide, Ahmed al-Hasan, who is considered the First Mahdi by their followers.

Medical authorities such as the American Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics affirm that gender-affirming care is medically necessary and cond...

Trump Moves to Reinstate Traditional School Discipline and Overhaul Education Standards

Image
President Donald Trump signed a series of executive orders on April 23, 2025, aimed at reforming the U.S. education system. The measures seek to restore traditional school discipline practices, shift higher education accreditation standards away from diversity initiatives, and curb foreign financial influence in American academic institutions. One major executive order titled "Reinstating Common Sense School Discipline Policies" directs the Department of Education to eliminate the influence of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in disciplinary actions within K-12 schools. The order emphasizes a return to behavior-based discipline, asserting that previous policies focusing on racial disparities have compromised classroom safety and contributed to disorder. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon has been instructed to release new guidance to schools within 30 days to support these changes. In the realm of higher education, the administration issued new directives ...
