Ahmed Al-Hassan — “The Mohammedan soul can replicate itself into another twin soul which is an identical copy of itself”
Biblical and Theological Rebuttal to the Doctrine of a ‘Replicating Soul’
1. The Soul Is Created Directly by God — Not Replicable
According to Scripture, every soul is a direct and unique creation of God. There is no indication anywhere in the Bible that souls can duplicate, replicate, or reproduce themselves into “twin souls.”
- Zechariah 12:1 – “The LORD, who stretches out the heavens, who lays the foundation of the earth, and who forms the spirit of man within him…”
God alone is the Creator of the human soul. Souls do not possess self-generative capacity. To suggest otherwise inserts a divine function into a creature, which borders on blasphemy and dangerously elevates the human soul to a status that belongs to God alone.
This position aligns with historic non-Calvinist evangelical and conservative theology, such as that found in the Anabaptist and early Baptist traditions, which affirm soul creationism — the belief that each soul is individually created by God and not transmitted or duplicated by other souls.
2. Each Human Being Is a Unique Individual — Not a Metaphysical Clone
The Bible upholds the irreducible individuality of every person. Every soul is distinct and accountable before God.
- Ezekiel 18:4 – “Behold, all souls are mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is mine: the soul who sins shall die.”
This clearly contradicts any notion that souls can be copied or shared. If souls could be cloned or twinned, the personal responsibility, guilt, or righteousness of a person would become entangled with their so-called “twin.” This would dismantle the very principle of individual moral accountability, which is foundational to God’s justice.
3. The Replication Concept Is Not Biblical — It Is Esoteric and Gnostic
The idea that a “Mohammedan soul can replicate itself” is not derived from the Bible, but rather reflects elements found in Gnostic and esoteric spirituality.
Gnosticism — an early heresy that the apostles and early church opposed — taught that spiritual beings could emanate or replicate other beings. It also taught about “divine twins” or “aeons” that came forth from higher spiritual beings. These beliefs were roundly rejected by biblical Christians because they:
- Denied the unique creation of human beings
- Undermined the doctrine of sin and personal responsibility
- Confused the Creator with the creature
Ahmed Al-Hassan’s teaching here resurrects this same heresy in modern form, claiming that souls can spawn spiritual copies — a spiritually dangerous and theologically incoherent claim.
4. Only God Can Make Beings in His Image — Not Souls Themselves
The Bible teaches that God alone is the Author of life, and only He creates in His image.
- Genesis 1:27 – “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.”
Nowhere does the Bible teach that the soul can make another soul, or that any part of creation can replicate itself metaphysically. Only God has this capacity. Suggesting that a soul can duplicate itself places divine creative power in the hands of a created being. That is idolatrous and echoes the serpent’s lie in Genesis 3:5 — “you shall be as gods.”
5. Biblical Anthropology Does Not Allow for Identical Twin Souls
The doctrine of the soul taught in Scripture is dualistic yet unified — a person is a body and a soul, uniquely formed by God. The idea of “identical twin souls” assumes that a spiritual essence can exist in multiple, identical instances, which violates both logic and biblical anthropology.
In the Bible, each person’s inner man (2 Corinthians 4:16) is distinct. Even when believers are being transformed into the image of Christ (Romans 8:29), they do not lose their individuality, nor become copies or spiritual clones. They are conformed in moral likeness, not metaphysical duplication.
6. This Doctrine Destroys the Gospel
If souls can be replicated or duplicated, how would the atonement of Christ apply?
- Did Christ die for one soul or for its copies?
- Can a “twin soul” sin apart from the original?
- Is salvation extended to duplicates?
This concept makes nonsense of the gospel. Christ came to redeem individuals — real, whole, unique persons (Hebrews 9:27). He did not die for metaphysical abstractions or copies. The doctrine of soul replication erodes personal salvation and turns biblical redemption into a metaphysical puzzle.
Summary
Ahmed Al-Hassan’s statement — “The Mohammedan soul can replicate itself into another twin soul which is an identical copy of itself” — is:
- Unbiblical: No Scripture supports such an idea.
- Theologically corrupt: It places divine creative power in the soul.
- Philosophically incoherent: It breaks the logic of identity and individuality.
- Gnostic in origin: It mirrors heresies already condemned in the earliest centuries of Christianity.
- Destructive to the gospel: It undermines the doctrines of sin, salvation, and judgment.
This teaching is not merely wrong — it is spiritually dangerous and draws people away from the truth of God’s Word, replacing it with mystical speculation and occult philosophy masquerading as revelation.
Refuting the Soul-Based Inheritance Doctrine of the Seventh Covenant: A Biblical and Theological Critique
Refutation of the “Soul World” Doctrine and the Reinterpretation of Jesus’ Words
1. Misuse of Al-Haft Al-Shareef and the “Shadows” Doctrine
The quote attributed to Imam Ja’far Al-Sadiq in Al-Haft Al-Shareef refers to a speculative esoteric teaching about pre-existent souls in a “shadow world” who are then paired with bodies, and whose spiritual pairings override biological family ties. This Gnostic-style doctrine, however, has no foundation in the Bible, the Torah, or sound Islamic theology. It stems from a mystical metaphysical framework more in line with Neoplatonism and pre-Islamic Gnosticism, which were rejected by both biblical prophets and Quranic revelation.
- The idea of a “shadow realm” where souls were pre-matched is pagan in origin and parallels the teachings of Plato’s Theory of Forms and Gnostic cosmologies—not the monotheistic God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
- In biblical theology, souls do not exist eternally in a pre-incarnate realm. Rather, God creates each soul individually (Zechariah 12:1), and man becomes a living soul at conception, not before (Genesis 2:7).
2. Twisting Jesus’ Teaching in Matthew 12:46–50
The claim that Jesus promoted this “soul family” idea when He redefined His family in Matthew 12:46–50 is a misuse of Scripture. Let’s examine Jesus’ words in context:
“Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” Pointing to his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.” (Matthew 12:48–50)
Jesus’ statement:
- Does not deny biological family ties. He cared for His mother (John 19:26–27) and had brothers (e.g., James and Jude).
- Instead, He affirms that spiritual kinship is based on obedience to God, not mystical soul-pairings in an unseen realm.
- This is not a metaphysical claim about pre-existent soul families, but a moral and theological emphasis: doing God’s will unites believers as the family of God (cf. Galatians 3:26–28).
The Ahmadi reinterpretation falsely inserts their metaphysical doctrine into a moral teaching. This is eisegesis—reading their own views into the text.
3. Invention of “Seventh Covenant” Jurisprudence
Claiming that a new jurisprudence based on soul-pairings has replaced earthly laws, including inheritance, undermines both Mosaic and New Covenant revelation.
- In the Bible, inheritance laws are clearly defined (e.g., Numbers 27, Deuteronomy 21:17) and never spiritualised into soul pairings.
- Jesus never annulled inheritance law, and Paul affirms lawful handling of family matters in 1 Timothy 5:8 and Galatians 4:1–7, in the context of salvation—not secret soul destinies.
- The so-called “Seventh Covenant” is not found anywhere in Scripture. The Bible only affirms the covenants with:
- Adam (Genesis 3:15),
- Noah (Genesis 9),
- Abraham (Genesis 15, 17),
- Moses (Exodus 19),
- David (2 Samuel 7),
- and finally the New Covenant in Christ (Jeremiah 31:31, Luke 22:20, Hebrews 8–10).
There is no prophesied “Seventh Covenant” where a future “Qaim” overrides physical family laws with esoteric soul laws.
4. Rebuttal of Inheritance According to “Shadow Pairing”
The statement that the Qaim will cause a man to inherit not from his physical brother but from his “paired” soul brother is unscriptural and unjust.
- Biblical inheritance was always linked to legal, biological ties—not mystical relationships. Even adoption (Romans 8:15) is legal and covenantal, not based on Gnostic soul doctrine.
- The New Testament metaphor of being heirs with Christ (Romans 8:17) is spiritual in nature, but does not nullify earthly inheritance law, which remains under civil jurisdiction (Romans 13:1–7).
- Any doctrine that abolishes legal rights of physical family members and reallocates them based on secret soul destinies is both oppressive and cultic.
5. Danger of Gnostic and Occult Syncretism
This teaching echoes the same dangerous mystical frameworks found in:
- The Gospel of Thomas and Gospel of Judas, where hidden knowledge and pre-existence doctrines replace divine revelation.
- Islamic mysticism (Sufism) and Shia esotericism, which often borrow from Hellenistic and Zoroastrian cosmologies.
- The teachings of cults such as the Baháʼí Faith or Nation of Islam, which spiritualise laws and redefine Scripture allegorically.
The “Seventh Covenant” theology is part of a false gospel (Galatians 1:6–9), and its “Qaim” is a false messiah, leading souls away from the Gospel of Christ.
The Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light makes a bold claim that familial ties based on blood will be redefined by spiritual bonds in a future divine system governed by their Qaim and the so-called “Seventh Covenant.” Their argument attempts to blend Islamic texts, mystical interpretations, and an out-of-context citation of Jesus’ words in Matthew 12. Let us carefully analyse and biblically dismantle this claim.
The Argument Presented:
It was already revealed in the Holy Qur’an 1,400 years ago that true familial bonds are based on faith and not on biological relations, for God said: “Verily, the believers are siblings.”3 And Imam Ali (From Him is Peace) said: “Two true friends are a single soul in different bodies.”4 And Prophet Mohammed (PBUH & His Family) in the beginning of Islam set the basis for this new system of familial ties when he set up the brotherhood system between the companions. Prophet Mohammed (PBUH & His Family) paired between the Muhajireen and Ansar5 making it obligatory that each one help his brother, to the extent that the two new brothers could inherit from each other. But this condition was later abrogated with Allah’s saying: “But, according to the Book of Allah, the blood relations have a greater right on one another”6 and it was delayed to the time of the Qaim/Riser and the Seventh Covenant.
One day Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace) said to me, “Son, do you see these people here?”, pointing towards the buildings and people living in Badr, Egypt, across from home.
I said, “Yes.”
He (From Him is Peace) said, “Thirty years from now if there was to come someone and tell them that marrying your blood sibling is forbidden by God, they will stone him.”
Biblical Response: Spiritual Brotherhood Does Not Nullify Family Law
Firstly, the Bible does affirm spiritual brotherhood among believers, as Jesus taught:
“For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.” (Matthew 12:50)
However, this verse is not a declaration of metaphysical soul unions or a replacement of biological family ties, nor does it imply a future system where physical inheritance laws are nullified. It is a moral and covenantal statement, not a mystical redefinition of kinship. Nowhere in the New Testament do we see Jesus advocating for the abrogation of family-based inheritance in favour of spiritual pairings.
Moreover, Jesus affirmed God’s commandments, including those involving family order:
- “Honour your father and your mother” (Matthew 19:19)
- “What God has joined together, let no one separate” (Matthew 19:6)
- He rebuked the Pharisees for breaking the commandment of honouring parents under the guise of “spiritual offerings” (Matthew 15:3–6)
These teachings affirm the sanctity of biological family structures, not their dissolution under a new mystical covenant.
Inheritance in the Bible: Covenant and Justice, Not Esotericism
Biblical inheritance laws are clear, just, and grounded in God’s revealed covenant with His people. Consider:
- Numbers 27: The daughters of Zelophehad petition Moses for their father’s inheritance. The Lord affirms their right under His law.
- Deuteronomy 21:15–17: The law mandates just inheritance, even among polygamous families, prioritising the rights of the firstborn son.
- Romans 8:17: Christians are heirs of God through Christ, by faith—not because of mystical soul bonds.
There is no biblical basis for inheritance based on soul pairing. All inheritance theology in Scripture revolves around legal covenant relationships, not speculative pre-existent “soul worlds.”
Refuting the “Seventh Covenant” and Its Claimed Delay of God’s Law
The argument that God temporarily allowed inheritance based on “spiritual brotherhood” (as allegedly practised between the Muhajireen and Ansar) but later abrogated it—only to revive it again in the time of the Qaim—is a convoluted, self-defeating doctrine.
- If God “abrogated” that system (as the Qur’an in Surah 33:6 supposedly indicates), then why would He reintroduce it later? This is doctrinal instability masquerading as esoteric wisdom.
- In the Bible, God’s law is consistent. While covenants progress (e.g., from the Mosaic to the New Covenant), God does not contradict Himself or regress into abolished systems (Psalm 19:7; Hebrews 13:8).
The Seventh Covenant claim, then, relies on the dangerous idea that divine law is fluid, manipulable by self-proclaimed “divine” figures like Ahmed Al-Hassan, who contradict both Scripture and reason.
Ahmed Al-Hassan’s Anecdote: Subjective Speculation, Not Divine Revelation
The story in which Ahmed Al-Hassan speculates that people will stone someone for forbidding incest in thirty years is a manipulative and chilling example of cultic mind-conditioning. It subtly implies that divine moral law (such as the prohibition of incest) is culturally relative and destined to be overturned.
However, incest is explicitly condemned by God in Scripture:
“None of you shall approach any one of his close relatives to uncover nakedness. I am the Lord.” (Leviticus 18:6)
This moral law precedes Moses, as seen in the condemnation of Lot’s daughters (Genesis 19), and it continues into the New Testament (1 Corinthians 5:1–5). Ahmed Al-Hassan’s speculative prophecy is not just unbiblical—it is dangerously antinomian.
False Authority and the Spirit of Antichrist
The Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light’s theology surrounding the Qaim and the Seventh Covenant is not simply mistaken; it is deeply heretical. It bears the hallmarks of Gnosticism, antinomianism, and a rejection of God’s revealed moral order.
“For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work…” (2 Thessalonians 2:7)
“They profess to know God, but by their deeds they deny Him, being detestable and disobedient…” (Titus 1:16)
Ahmed Al-Hassan’s teachings—undermining God’s moral law, redefining familial structures, and enthroning himself as a new covenant-giver—are clear signs of a false prophet promoting a man-centred gospel.
The Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light further compounds its theological error with a deeply Gnostic and blasphemous claim:
“So it will be allowed to marry your blood sibling as it was for Abraham and Sarah, Enoch and Isis, and the children of Adam?” The Imam said, “Yes, what is not allowed is to marry your sibling in the soul world… In the soul world there is a family tree… Imam Ali and Fatimah Al-Zahra are at the base of the tree… Mohammed has children in the soul world, including Michael and Mary… Jesus is the father of Eve… Mary Magdalene is the soulmate of Jesus… Moses is the father of Elias, whose soulmate is Nefertiti…”
This bizarre mythology is a composite of paganism, Gnostic fantasy, Islamic folklore, and reinvented biblical characters, utterly divorced from the Word of God.
1. The Soul-World and Pre-Existent Incestuous Genealogies
The claim that Jesus is the father of Eve, or that Jesus’ soulmate is Mary Magdalene, is a sacrilegious invention. Scripture clearly teaches:
- Jesus Christ is eternally pre-existent as God (John 1:1–3) but was born as a man in history (John 1:14; Matthew 1:18–25).
- He had no earthly children, nor romantic partners. Claims of soulmates such as Mary Magdalene stem from Gnostic heresies and later occult texts, not canonical Scripture.
The suggestion that marrying your blood sibling will be allowed in a future divine system is not just false—it is evil.
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil…” (Isaiah 5:20)
Even Abraham and Sarah, despite being half-siblings (Genesis 20:12), lived before the codified law given at Sinai. But Leviticus 18:9 explicitly forbids such relationships forever. To revive and promote incest as a divine ideal is to promote moral lawlessness.
2. No ‘Soul Family Tree’ in Scripture—Only Earthly Genealogies with Purpose
Biblical genealogies are earthly and covenantal, not metaphysical. They are meant to:
- Trace the promised lineage of the Messiah (Matthew 1; Luke 3)
- Prove the legal and tribal authority of priests, kings, and prophets
- Uphold the honour and continuity of family and nation under God’s law
The supposed “soul family tree” with Fatimah Al-Zahra as the “mother of Mohammed” in the soul world, or Jesus as the father of Eve, is mythological speculation akin to Greek cosmology or Mandaean Gnosticism.
3. False Doctrine of Soul-World ‘Mehram’
The idea that only soul-world siblings are mehram (unmarriageable) is completely alien to biblical ethics. God’s moral law deals with real, earthly kinship—not mystical, unseen pairings.
“The secret things belong to the Lord… but the things revealed belong to us and our children forever.” (Deuteronomy 29:29)
To create marriage rules based on imagined pre-earthly soul relations is to descend into subjectivism, mysticism, and lawlessness.
4. Warning Against a Different Gospel
This system is another gospel altogether—blending fragments of Bible names with esoteric fables.
“But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed.” (Galatians 1:8)
The so-called “Qaim” (Ahmed Al-Hassan) is presenting himself as the revealer of an entirely new moral universe, discarding biblical creation, marriage, law, and redemption in favour of his own cultic cosmology.
The soul family tree doctrine and the allowance of incest in a future paradise are not only false—they are doctrines of demons (1 Timothy 4:1). The Bible warns against such myth-making:
“Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales; rather, train yourself to be godly.” (1 Timothy 4:7)
The true family of God is defined by faith in Jesus Christ, and it is marked by holiness, obedience, and truth (Hebrews 12:14; John 17:17). Let no Christian be seduced by the false revelations and occult genealogies of a self-appointed prophet whose doctrine is rooted in darkness, not light.
“For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace…” (1 Corinthians 14:33)
The concept of the “soul family” as presented by Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan introduces several theological ideas that deviate significantly from biblical doctrine. In this booklet, we will explore these ideas and offer a biblical critique of each claim, examining the theological errors and the reasons why they cannot be reconciled with Christian faith.
1. Reincarnation and Multiple Incarnations
Claim in the text: Souls come to this world “many times” in different incarnations, with different fathers, mothers, and siblings.
Biblical response:
The concept of reincarnation—the belief that souls are repeatedly reborn into different bodies—is foreign to the teachings of Scripture. Hebrews 9:27 is clear on this matter:
“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.”
This verse directly refutes the idea of reincarnation by affirming that each person lives once, dies, and then faces judgment. The Bible does not support the idea of a soul inhabiting multiple physical forms across different lives. The concept of reincarnation, as seen in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Gnostic mysticism, is not aligned with biblical teaching. Instead, the Bible emphasizes the finality of physical life and the certainty of judgment that follows.
2. The Idea of a “Soul Father” Different from One’s Earthly Father
Claim in the text: “Each soul has one father” in the soul world, which may not be the same as the earthly father.
Biblical response:
The claim that each soul has a “soul father” distinct from the earthly father has no biblical foundation. According to Scripture, the ultimate Father of all souls is God, who is the Creator of every person:
“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb” (Psalm 139:13).
While the Bible does acknowledge human fathers in the physical realm, it does not suggest the existence of a separate “soul father” in a pre-incarnate realm. Each soul originates from God, who forms the spirit within the body (Zechariah 12:1). The doctrine of a “soul father” independent of physical lineage is a Gnostic idea, not a biblical one.
3. Pre-Existence of Souls
Claim in the text: Souls exist in a “shadow” world before inhabiting physical bodies. These souls are chosen by God in a pre-earthly state.
Biblical response:
The Bible consistently teaches that souls do not pre-exist their earthly bodies. Souls are created by God at the time of conception, and they begin their existence within the creation of God’s design. Ecclesiastes 12:7 says:
“Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.”
There is no biblical support for the idea of pre-existing souls inhabiting a “shadow” realm before being born into physical bodies. This is a Gnostic belief, influenced by ancient heresies, which taught that human souls existed before their earthly birth. The Bible, in contrast, teaches that God creates the spirit within the body, rather than reusing or redistributing pre-existing souls.
4. Soul Replication or “Twin Souls”
Claim in the text: The “Mohammedan soul” can replicate into another twin soul, an identical copy of itself, which is still inferior to the original.
Biblical response:
The idea of soul replication or the existence of “twin souls” is entirely foreign to biblical doctrine. The Bible speaks of the unique creation of each individual soul:
“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope” (Jeremiah 29:11).
Each person is uniquely created by God, and there is no biblical mention of souls replicating themselves or forming “twin copies.” The idea of a soul being replicated, especially in a lesser form, reflects occult ideas that diminish the sacred uniqueness of individual creation. Each soul is a special creation of God, not a mere copy or shadow of another.
5. The Identification of the “Qaim” Through Pre-Earthly Bonds
Claim in the text: The Qaim is identified by pre-incarnate spiritual relationships, such as the “brother” he inherits from the “Shadows.”
Biblical response:
The Bible teaches that Christ was identified through His earthly lineage and genealogy, fulfilling the promises made to the patriarchs. Matthew 1 and Luke 3 present the genealogies of Jesus, showing that His identity as the Messiah is rooted in the prophecies of the Old Testament.
In contrast, the idea of identifying the Qaim by pre-earthly spiritual bonds, such as inheriting from a “brother” in the “Shadows,” is foreign to the biblical understanding of prophecy. The Bible makes it clear that the Messiah would come through a physical, historical lineage (Isaiah 11:1), and there is no scriptural support for identifying individuals by non-physical or mystical criteria.
6. The Claim that a Modern Figure is the Reincarnation of a Past Imam
Claim in the text: Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan is implied to be the reincarnation or spiritual copy of Imam Al-Hussein.
Biblical response:
The claim that any modern individual can be a reincarnation of a past religious figure or divine being is blasphemous from a biblical perspective. Jesus Christ is the unique Son of God, and He alone is the fulfillment of all prophecies concerning the Messiah (Matthew 1:23, John 14:6). The Bible makes it clear that Jesus was and is the One and only Savior, with no room for reincarnation or the appearance of messianic figures in different forms over time.
In fact, Jesus warned against false messiahs:
“For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect” (Matthew 24:24).
To claim that a modern individual embodies the soul or spirit of a past religious figure, especially in a messianic or divine context, is a false prophecy and goes against the clear teachings of Scripture.
In the theological teachings of Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace) and his followers, there is a controversial doctrine that asserts the “incarnation” of certain holy figures, particularly from the family of the Prophet Muhammad. This belief proposes that several prominent Islamic and biblical figures are in fact incarnations or “copies” of others, often blending various personalities and souls into a unified narrative. These concepts are rooted in esoteric and Gnostic traditions rather than orthodox Islamic or Christian doctrine.
The Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light claims that Imam Ali, whom Shia Islam reveres as the first Imam, is also an incarnation of several other religious figures, including his descendants and other prominent figures. This claim goes against the Christian understanding of individual identity and divine calling.
Christianity teaches that each individual, including biblical figures, has a unique and divinely appointed role in God’s plan. The concept of “incarnation” as suggested by this movement undermines the biblical view that every person is distinct and has a specific purpose in God’s design. The Bible affirms that Jesus Christ alone is the incarnation of God, and no other figure can occupy this unique role (John 1:14; Colossians 2:9).
The Incarnations of Imam Hassan
Imam Hassan, the second Imam in Shia Islam, is also claimed by the Ahmadi Religion to have incarnations in figures such as Imam Ja’far Al-Sadiq (the Sixth Imam) and Imam Hassan Al-Askari (the Eleventh Imam). This claim is not supported by any biblical teachings or Christian traditions. Christianity maintains that each person is uniquely created by God with a specific role to fulfill, and the idea of “incarnating” in other individuals contradicts this principle.
Jesus Christ is the only one in Christian theology who embodies both divine and human natures, making His incarnation a singular and unrepeatable event in history. No other person in biblical history, including any of the apostles, saints, or prophets, can claim to have had the same divine role as Jesus (Hebrews 10:12).
The Incarnations of Imam Hussein
The Ahmadi Religion further claims that Imam Hussein, the third Imam, has incarnations in figures like Imam Musa Al-Kadhim (the Seventh Imam) and Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan. Such claims diminish the unique significance of Hussein’s martyrdom, which is considered a pivotal event in both Islamic and Shia tradition.
Christianity teaches that Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross is the ultimate and final act of atonement for sin (Hebrews 10:10-14). The concept of reincarnation, as it is presented in the Ahmadi Religion, undermines the biblical doctrine that Jesus’ death was the one and only sacrifice for all sin. Each individual, according to Scripture, has a unique calling and destiny, and no one else can fulfill the role of Christ (Hebrews 9:28).
The Mahdi and the Concept of the Twelve Mahdis
A central element of the Ahmadi Religion is the concept of the Mahdi, a messianic figure who is said to be the fulfillment of various prophetic promises. In this movement, Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan is proclaimed to be the first Mahdi, with the existence of additional Mahdis coming from the same line of divine figures.
In Christian theology, however, the second coming of Christ is the pivotal and final event in the redemption of humanity (Matthew 24:30). The Bible is clear that there is only one Christ, and His return will bring an end to the age and the final judgment. There is no place for multiple Mahdis or incarnations of Christ-like figures in Christian eschatology (Revelation 22:20).
The Incarnations of Prophets and Other Figures
The Ahmadi Religion also claims that various biblical prophets, such as Joseph, Moses, and Abraham, are incarnations of other figures or are represented in the souls of future leaders. This view conflicts with the Christian doctrine that each prophet and individual has a unique and irreplaceable role in God’s redemptive plan.
Christianity teaches that Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of all prophetic promises, and He is the only one who embodies the fullness of God’s revelation (Hebrews 1:1-2). The claim that multiple individuals or souls could embody the roles of these figures distorts the uniqueness of God’s plan of salvation.
Spiritual Elevation and the Alienation from Family
Another teaching of the Ahmadi Religion is the idea that individuals who experience spiritual elevation may become alienated from their biological families, particularly if their families do not accept the teachings of Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan. This is a deviation from the biblical teaching on family life.
In Christianity, while it is true that following Christ may bring division, the Bible also teaches that believers should honor their parents and families (Ephesians 6:1-3). The Christian faith emphasizes reconciliation, love, and respect for family, even in the face of spiritual differences (Romans 12:18). The idea of alienation from one’s family for the sake of spiritual elevation is not a biblical concept and runs counter to the teachings of Christ, who calls His followers to love their neighbors, including family members.
Conclusion
The Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light’s doctrine of “incarnations” is not compatible with the Christian faith. The idea of reincarnation or “soul transference,” as applied to figures like Imam Ali, Imam Hassan, Imam Hussein, and others, undermines the distinctiveness of each person’s divine purpose as taught in the Bible.
Christian theology teaches that Jesus Christ is the unique and final incarnation of God, and no other figure in history can fulfill His divine role. The doctrines of the Ahmadi Religion, including the belief in multiple Mahdis and the notion of the “incarnation” of prophets, are not supported by Scripture and are contrary to the central message of the Christian gospel.
As Christians, we affirm that Jesus Christ is the only Savior, and He alone fulfills all prophetic promises. No person or movement can replace or re-interpret His role in God’s redemptive plan. The idea of multiple incarnations or messianic figures, as seen in the teachings of the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light, is a distortion of biblical truth and represents a deviation from the Christian understanding of salvation history.
