Introduction

In Chapter 7, titled “Door Number Seven,” of The Seventh Covenant with Ahmed Al-Hassan, Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq claims that Ahmed Al-Hassan is the divine ruler of a new Edenic kingdom, the fulfillment of all previous prophetic covenants. This chapter promotes a radically unbiblical doctrine that not only distorts key aspects of Christian theology but also elevates Ahmed Al-Hassan to a position that the Bible reserves solely for Jesus Christ. The purpose of this article is to critically examine and refute these claims using biblical and historical arguments.

1. The Claim: A “Living King on Earth”

“The kingdom has appeared. There is now a living King on Earth who must be obeyed. He is not just a representative; he is the divine manifestation of God’s authority, ruling as a visible vicegerent.”

Expansion & Refutation:

The claim that a “living King on Earth” has arrived, who is not merely a representative but a “divine manifestation,” strikes at the very heart of Christian eschatology. Throughout the Bible, the concept of God’s kingdom is described in two stages: a present, spiritual reality and a future, physical fulfillment. Jesus inaugurated the kingdom with His first coming, but the fullness of the kingdom will only be realized at His return (Luke 17:21; Revelation 11:15).

  1. Christ’s Heavenly Reign: In the New Testament, Jesus is portrayed as seated at the right hand of God, ruling from heaven and interceding for His people (Hebrews 1:3). No other man is ever given the title of “King” on Earth in this sense. Any claim to a present, visible earthly king, especially one who is seen as divine, directly contradicts the central tenet of Christian belief that Jesus Christ is the eternal King.
  2. Theological Implications of Earthly Kingship: The statement that Ahmed Al-Hassan is the “divine manifestation of God’s authority” is an extreme claim that contradicts Christian doctrine. In Christian theology, Jesus alone is the manifestation of God’s authority on earth (John 1:14; Colossians 2:9). To suggest that any human being, especially one who is not Jesus, could embody God’s authority on earth is a dangerous deviation from biblical orthodoxy.
  3. Idolatry and Man-worship: The designation of a “visible vicegerent” introduces the potential for idolatry. In Scripture, the role of vicegerent—one who acts as a steward on behalf of God—belongs solely to Christ. Hebrews 2:8 tells us that Christ will one day put all things under His feet, but until then, He alone holds that role. To elevate any man to such a position is to blur the line between creator and creature, potentially leading to man-worship, which is forbidden in the Bible (Exodus 20:4–5).

2. The Claim: Defiance of the King is Defiance of God

“He is the return of divine justice; he holds the sceptre of the Father. Whoever defies him has defied God Himself.”

Expansion & Refutation:

The idea that defiance against Ahmed Al-Hassan equals defying God is not only an unbiblical teaching, it is also a manifestation of spiritual tyranny.

  1. The Sceptre of Christ: In Scripture, the sceptre is a symbol of the Messiah’s kingship, yet it is never attributed to any figure other than Christ. Hebrews 1:8 makes clear that the sceptre belongs to Jesus: “But of the Son He says, ‘Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, and the sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of Your kingdom.'” The use of the sceptre by a human being in this context is a theological misstep that misidentifies who holds the true authority.
  2. Jesus is the Sole Bringer of Justice: Jesus is the only one who can execute divine justice. Scripture repeatedly emphasizes that ultimate justice is God’s alone to administer (Romans 12:19). Jesus’ second coming will establish justice in the world (Revelation 19:11–16). To attribute this role to someone else undermines the unique role of Christ as the ultimate judge (John 5:22).
  3. Idolatry of Allegiance: The claim that defying this “king” is equivalent to defying God blurs the boundary between the Creator and created beings. It fosters a cult-like structure where blind obedience is demanded to a human leader, not the true and living God. This undermines the personal relationship believers have with Christ and redirects their allegiance away from Him.

3. The Claim: Ahmed Al-Hassan as the Embodiment of the Seventh Covenant

“He is the embodiment of the Seventh Covenant, the final unveiling of divine truth hidden since the beginning of creation.”

Expansion & Refutation:

The claim that Ahmed Al-Hassan is the embodiment of a “Seventh Covenant” presents a theological issue. Scripture speaks of the New Covenant instituted by Christ, not a “seventh” or additional covenants.

  1. The Finality of the New Covenant: The Bible teaches that the New Covenant, established by Christ through His death, is final and sufficient. Hebrews 8:6–13 emphasizes that this covenant is superior to all previous covenants and that there will be no need for a new covenant after it. Any claim to a “seventh covenant” is a distortion of this fundamental teaching and constitutes a rejection of the sufficiency of Christ’s work on the cross.
  2. Gnostic Overtones: The language used—describing divine truth as “hidden since the beginning of creation”—echoes Gnostic teachings, where knowledge (gnosis) is believed to be hidden and only accessible to a select few. The Bible warns against this type of hidden knowledge (Colossians 2:8). The revelation of God’s truth has been made public in Christ, and there is no further hidden truth to unveil (John 14:6; 1 Corinthians 2:9–10).
  3. Christ as the Ultimate Revelation: Hebrews 1:1–2 says that God has spoken to us through His Son, the final revelation of His truth. There is no further “unveiling” necessary because Christ’s work on the cross is complete and final (John 19:30). Any claim to a new, superior revelation not found in Christ must be rejected.

4. The Claim: “I Do Not Die”

“Even if I die, I do not die. Even if I disappear, I do not disappear. For I am in you, and you are in me, and we are in Him.”

Expansion & Refutation:

This statement, claiming eternal life despite physical death, is a bold and unbiblical assertion. While Jesus’ words about eternal life are true for all believers (John 10:28), the claim that any human, especially Ahmed Al-Hassan, could possess such omnipresence and eternal life apart from Christ is heretical.

  1. The Exclusivity of Christ’s Death and Resurrection: Jesus is the only one who has the power to defeat death (1 Corinthians 15:20–22). While Christians share in Christ’s resurrection, it is always in Christ, never apart from Him. Jesus’ death and resurrection are the foundation of eternal life, and no other man can claim to have this power on his own.
  2. Misuse of John 17: The phrase “I am in you, and you are in me” mirrors the unity Christ prays for with His followers in John 17:21, but it is misused here. Jesus speaks of His relationship with the Father and His followers, not of some individual person. The application of this to Ahmed Al-Hassan is a distortion of the biblical concept of spiritual union with Christ.
  3. Christ’s Omnipresence: The claim to be “in you, and you are in me” suggests an omnipresence that is uniquely attributed to Christ and the Holy Spirit, not to any human leader. While believers are in Christ and He in them, this union is spiritual and is mediated by the Holy Spirit (John 14:17–20), not through the human leader of any movement.

5. The Claim: Replacement by Future Figures

“You will be replaced in one condition only, if my Father and Master Mohammed (PBUH & His Family) replaces me… and if Mohammed ibn Al-Hassan (PBUH & His Family) got replaced.”

Expansion & Refutation:

The idea that one’s spiritual position is contingent on the succession of leaders is not a biblical concept. The New Testament emphasizes that Christ is the sole mediator between God and mankind (1 Timothy 2:5).

  1. Christ’s Unchanging Priesthood: Hebrews 7:24 teaches that Christ’s priesthood is eternal and unchanging. He does not need to be replaced, nor does He appoint any human mediator in the way described here.
  2. Danger of Succession Claims: The notion of a divinely-appointed replacement challenges the sufficiency of Christ’s completed work. Jesus’ death and resurrection were once-for-all acts (Hebrews 9:26). No human being is in a position to replace Christ’s authority or mediatorship.

Conclusion:

The claims made in Chapter 7 of The Seventh Covenant are a blatant distortion of Christian doctrine. They misappropriate the titles, roles, and functions that belong solely to Jesus Christ, and they distort the biblical understanding of the kingdom, the covenants, and eternal life. The “Seventh Covenant” is a fabricated concept, leading people away from the true gospel and the sufficiency of Christ’s work on the cross.

As Christians, we must hold fast to the truth that Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of God’s covenant promises. He is the King, the High Priest, and the eternal Mediator. There is no further revelation or mediator needed beyond Him.
