Therefore, Imam Mehdi (as) is a direct descendant of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
Without any intermediary in between. A direct descendant of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), in the same way as Fatima.
How is HDE Gohar Shahi a Direct Descendant of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)?
Now, let’s talk about the progeny of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) or ‘Sadaat’.
What does it mean to be a Syed?
Generally, the word Syed actually means ‘sir’ in English and in very good Urdu, it would mean ‘Lord’.
This is the literal meaning of this word.
The other meaning of the word Syed is the progeny of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
The progeny of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is called Sadaat (plural of Syed).
Now, the progeny is carried on by the male.
And what does the Qur’an state? ‘Ma kaana Muhammadan aba ahadim mir rijaalikum’
which means ‘Prophet Muhammad is not the father of any of you men’.
If Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is not the father of any man then how will his progeny come about?
Now, if you want, and surely, you would want to say,
‘Oh no, Prophet Muhammad’s progeny was carried on through his daughter’.
That’s okay to say but it’s practically incorrect.
That’s just like if I said, ‘I use £100 worth of petrol in my car every week’
and Zahir Shah says, ‘I spend zero pounds’.
Really? How?
‘Because I use water instead of petrol. My car runs on water’.
You definitely can say that your car runs on water instead of petrol but if you’re told to prove it by making your car run on water, then you’re in trouble.
Similarly, it’s easy to say that Prophet Muhammad’s progeny was carried on by his daughter but why don’t you explain exactly how that is possible?
How is the progeny carried on by the daughter?
The sperm is dominant.
There are Y chromosomes and X chromosomes.
The female also has chromosomes like the male but the male chromosomes are dominant.
A child is born when the male and female chromosomes come together.
Nothing happens if the male chromosomes do not mix together with the female chromosomes.
A child cannot be born without the male chromosomes mixing with the female chromosomes and with the same token,
a child cannot be born without the female chromosomes mixing with the male chromosomes.
Please pay attention here.
The Qur’an states that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is not the father of any man.
The progeny is carried on by the man.
Since Prophet Muhammad is not the father of any man, therefore, Prophet Muhammad’s progeny cannot go forward.
It is said that Prophet Muhammad’s progeny was carried by his daughter.
Alright, let’s believe for a minute that the progeny can be carried on by the daughter, however, one of the titles of Fatima (ra) is ‘Batool’ which means barren.
A woman who is barren does not menstruate.
If a woman does not menstruate, she cannot have children.
First they say that Prophet Muhammad’s progeny was carried on by his daughter but when we look into the matter, Prophet Muhammad’s daughter was barren.
Prophet Muhammad’s progeny was not carried on by a son because none of his sons survived.
Therefore, Prophet Muhammad’s progeny was not carried on by a son.
His daughter was barren, therefore, Prophet Muhammad’s progeny was not carried on by his daughter either.
So then how was his progeny carried on?
These things are not written in the books.
Is there anyone who can prove that Prophet Muhammad’s progeny was carried on by a son or daughter?
If you say it was by a son, the Qur’an states Prophet Muhammad is not the father of any man and if you say it was by the daughter, his daughter was barren, she did not menstruate.
If a woman does not menstruate, she cannot have children.
So it was neither through the son nor the daughter, so how was it carried on?
Do we all agree that Syeda Fatima was barren? We believe this, right?
Now, the Prophet is not the father of any man and the daughter is barren and since the daughter is barren, it creates even more problems.
Since Prophet Muhammad is not the father of any man, therefore, Prophet Muhammad’s progeny was not carried on.
If you think the progeny was carried on by the daughter, well, she was barren.
So then whose children are the progeny of Fatima?
Prophet Muhammad’s daughter was barren so she could not have children.
So her children are neither her children nor Maula Ali’s because if the wife is barren, the husband’s sperm will not work.
These are just facts that I’m presenting to you, don’t think I’m trying to be blasphemous.
Syeda Fatima was barren so can it be said that Imam Hassan and Imam Hussain are the children of Maula Ali? Tell me.
You also tell me. What about you, Imran?
Are Imam Hussain and Imam Hassan the children of Bibi Fatima? So how can Imam Mehdi be from her progeny?
‘The quarrels then ended, when the reality proved to be something else’
Are Imam Hassan and Imam Hussain Maula Ali’s progeny?
If Syeda Fatima was not barren then Maula Ali’s progeny would have been born. Do you understand?
Now, Imam Hassan and Imam Hussain are neither Fatima’s progeny, nor Prophet Muhammad’s progeny nor are they Ali’s progeny so who are they?
And since Imam Hassan and Imam Hussain are not Bibi Fatima’s progeny then how can Imam Mehdi be from her progeny?
So then who are Imam Hassan and Imam Hussain?
Imam Hassan, Imam Hussain and their sister, Zainab, are the progeny of divine light. What are they? The progeny of divine light.
They are the divine light that came from the Tifle Noori in the blessed body of Bibi Fatima. They are the divine light of that Tifle Noori.
When Imam Hassan and Imam Hussain were born, they were delivered through the stomach, not the natural way women have children.
They were delivered through the stomach.
It’s not just my opinion, Aala Hazrat Barelvi also said the same thing.
Poetry: ‘In your pure progeny every child is of noor (divine energy); You are entirely noor, Your entire household is noor’.
So Imam Hassan and Imam Hussain - I’m talking about the technicalities here.
You all know that if a woman is barren, she cannot have children. Isn’t that right?
Something similar happened to Prophet Abraham.
His wife, Sarah, was barren and Prophet Abraham spoke to God about him being childless and God told him that his wife is barren and he was instructed to find a woman to have a child with.
So he found a woman called Hagar who was Egyptian and it was his wife Sarah who chose her because Prophet Abraham told her it was God’s command to find a woman to have a child with.
She didn’t have a choice in the matter because it was God’s command but she wanted to choose which woman it would be.
So Sarah chose the least attractive woman because she did not want Prophet Abraham to fall in love with the woman and forget about her.
So she selected Hagar who was not that beautiful.
I am only telling you what is written in all the holy scriptures. I have not written this story myself.
So she became Abraham’s concubine and he had a child with her called Ishmael.
When Ishmael was born, God commanded Abraham to leave Hagar and the child where he found her.
So first God commanded Abraham to find a woman to have a child with and once the deed was done, God’s next command for Abraham was to abandon the woman and the child.
So, he did.
Of course, Abraham was sad about it but this was God’s planning.
When Gabriel came and told him the glad tidings from God about a son, Abraham said, ‘I already had the child and I abandoned them’.
Gabriel said, ‘You will have another’. ‘How?’ ‘With your wife’.
Prophet Abraham said, ‘If that were so, it would have happened already. How is that possible?’
Gabriel said, ‘I have come with the good news. It shall happen’. Prophet Abraham asked again, ‘How is it possible?’
And Gabriel ran his hand down Sarah’s backbone and said, ‘I have healed her. You will have a child now.'
Prophet Abraham asked, ‘Why didn’t you heal her before?’ He could have done it before.
Gabriel replied, ‘God had not commanded it’.
Anyway, he had another child.
The second child he has was named Isaac. So there is Isaac and Ishmael.
The mothers blood was not involved in the birth of Isaac.
Similarly, when Imam Hussain was born, he did not have the blood of either of his parents, it was just the divine light of his mother’s Tifle Noori.
Do you understand what I have said? You have understood it, right?
Alright, now let’s talk about Imam Mehdi (as).
Just as through the spiritual concentration of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH),
the progeny of Bibi Fatima came through the divine light of the Tifle Noori in her body,
similarly, Imam Mehdi is the progeny of the Tifle Noori of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
This is the reason why Prophet Muhammad said ‘progeny of Fatima’ and it meant just as Fatima produced children of divine light,
similarly, Imam Mehdi shall also be a child of divine light.
So since Imam Mehdi is the child of divine light, who is His father? It is Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
One day, someone said to His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi in the middle of a gathering,
‘Why do you say Imam Mehdi’s image is on the Moon when Prophet Muhammad’s image has not appeared on the Moon?’
His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi replied, ‘Perhaps Prophet Muhammad has placed the image of one of his sons on the Moon so that people can reach God through him’.
Therefore, Imam Mehdi (as) is a direct descendant of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
Without any intermediary in between.
A direct descendant of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), in the same way as Fatima.
Just as Fatima produced the esoteric progeny of Prophet Muhammad, Imam Mehdi is the child of divine light and so the esoteric progeny of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
