Examination of HDE Gohar Shahi’s Office of Mehdi-hood
Why do we believe HDE Gohar Shahi is Imam Mehdi?
What is the reason?
Do we believe HDE Gohar Shahi is Imam Mehdi because HDE Gohar Shahi has paid us off?
Or do we believe HDE Gohar Shahi is Imam Mehdi because the Jews have a lot of interest in this?
Is it because we’ve been bribed by the Jews to declare that HDE Gohar Shahi is Imam Mehdi?
Or have the non-believers paid us to cause divisions amongst the Muslims?
[So that means] the religion of Islam was perfectly fine before we made this statement,
and as soon as we did, Islam was made subject to divisions.
As if Islam was glistening at the heights of its brilliance and lustre before we had made such a statement,
and every single practitioner was either a momin or a saint.
[But] as soon as we declared that HDE Gohar Shahi is Imam Mehdi, a rift rippled through Islam.
Let’s take a look at our reasons.
What are the reasons that made us declare HDE Gohar Shahi is Imam Mehdi?
We professed our beliefs before the occultation.
It has been 19 years since the occultation and we still say it to this day.
It’s not as if we went rogue after HDE Gohar Shahi adopted occultation.
That’s not the case.
We professed our beliefs before the occultation too, that HDE Gohar Shahi is Imam Mehdi.
In fact, a group of religious scholars came to meet HDE Gohar Shahi - the video of this meeting is available to watch, it is uploaded.
One of the scholars said, ‘We used to attend your programmes regularly but ever since this talk of Imam Mehdi started,
we’ve had to face a lot of opposition and have to take precautionary measures.
So, we have come here today to request you to publish a statement on the news and confirm that you are not Imam Mehdi’.
In response, HDE Gohar Shahi said, ‘I have never said that I am Imam Mehdi’.
This made the scholars very happy.
And then, the Lord said, ‘If I do say it, tell me, is it a sin to be Imam Mehdi?’
The Lord said, ‘It’s not a sin to be Imam Mehdi.
They say it,’ - the Lord referred to their special followers.
‘They say it. Ask them why they say it’.
‘Ask them why they say it’.
Then, the scholars said, ‘Well, you should stop them from saying it’.
And the Lord said, ‘I would stop them had they been wrong’.
[The Lord said] ‘What they’re saying is not wrong’!
[Religious scholar in conversation with HDE Gohar Shahi]
Religious Scholar: ‘You see, we used to attend the Giarwhien Sharif conference you hosted, as well as many other programmes that have been held.
We would attend them but ever since these people have started saying that [you have] claimed to be Imam Mehdi and that you are now here…’
HDE Gohar Shahi: ‘Alright, let’s suppose I am Imam Mehdi. Is that a sin?’
Religious Scholar: ‘No, no. Please, listen to me’.
HDE Gohar Shahi: ‘If [God] makes me [Imam Mehdi], then what will happen?’
Religious Scholar: ‘No, please listen. You see, if this is done then the Muslims and their sentiments are exploited
and it is said, ‘oh, look there’s a religious war at hand, we must go to battle!
So if a great personality like yourself would say this in a press conference…’
HDE Gohar Shahi: ‘We’ve already stated in numerous newspapers that we’ve made no such announcement’
Religious Scholar: ‘And you’ve said that you haven’t claimed to be Imam Mehdi’
Religious Scholar: ‘So if you make this statement in a press conference
that ‘’I have never claimed to be Imam Mehdi and all those who are exploiting this and spreading this propaganda are in the wrong’’.’
HDE Gohar Shahi: ‘No, for this, it’s important… listen to me for a moment’‘
Religious Scholar: ‘And this statement of yours will discredit what these people are saying’.
HDE Gohar Shahi: ‘Allow me to finish, please. I have already stated this, and it was published in numerous newspapers
that neither have I claimed to be Imam Mehdi nor do I intend to.
However, these people believe it.
Ask them why they believe it.
Only they can tell you why do they believe I am Imam Mehdi?
I’ve never claimed as such, I have only told them about the divine signs.
If they have indeed seen those signs [in me] then ask them why they believe it.
Right?
If they believe it [today], why didn’t they believe it before today?
Why didn’t they believe it in the very beginning?
Then when some signs were manifested by God and they witnessed those signs, that’s when they came to believe it.
I have not fashioned these signs. They come from God.
We say: verify these signs ​​and if they are indeed [divine] signs then you’re obliged to ponder.
If there is an image on the Moon and Hajre Aswad;
if it is really there and you’ve examined it [for yourself], then you definitely have to ponder.
What do you say?
These people made such statements after having seen the signs.
I’ve never said it myself nor will I.
If I truly am [Imam Mehdi] then I won’t even need to say it.
If I truly am [Imam Mehdi] then why would I need to say it?
If I’m not, then even if I say it a thousand times, it’s pointless.
Now, it is your responsibility - these signs that God has manifested, you must not reject them. Examine them’.
Religious Scholar: ‘Yes, we concur. We can examine them’.
HDE Gohar Shahi: ‘Examine them. If they are truly from God then you’ll have to stop opposing.
When you examine them, you will find out these signs are not made with the help of science, they are made by God.
And if they are sent by God and you still reject them, you will lose your faith.
I say you must examine these signs.
You have access to the [images of] Hajre Aswad in your homes, you can find the pictures,
and the [full] Moon comes out every month, so look at them.
If they are [divine] signs, then examine why they are so.
What do you say? Examine these signs.
Third person: ‘NASA is the world’s greatest research - ‘
HDE Gohar Shahi: ‘You can use your own eyes to examine the signs, everyone can see it with their eyes.
There are images of the Hajre Aswad and the Moon in every city, even in your own homes. So look at them.
If they match then ponder!
Regardless, I cannot say anything myself.
This rests on your shoulders, whatever you think and decide.
If these [divine signs] were not there, I would never have allowed them to say it.
But when they witnessed the marvels and the divine signs and professed their beliefs,
I remained silent because what if I am [Imam Mehdi]?
[I thought that] they must be examined.
However, I have not yet received any divine revelation [regarding this],
but the signs compelled me to stay silent. However, no divine revelation has been sent [to confirm] I am Imam Mehdi.
So, HDE Gohar Shahi wonderfully exhibited such acute situational awareness,
in which they revealed little and left so much, still to be said.
Even before the occultation, we said that HDE Gohar Shahi is Imam Mehdi.
If we were wrong, then HDE Gohar Shahi would have stopped us.
Now, the question is: where did this thought come from,
that HDE Gohar Shahi is Imam Mehdi?
There must have been something, there has to be a reason.
What needs to be analysed is whether this is something we’ve invented in our minds,
is it our own thought or is there divine support behind it which we have merely translated and verbalised?
That’s what needs to be analysed.
