The Bani Hashem Wish for a Homeland Like the Children of Israel

In this episode of The School for Divine Mysteries, Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq (fhip) meets with his disciple Caroline Hören to reflect on the trials of a forgotten people and the vision for their future. He draws a powerful parallel between the exile of the Children of Israel and the persecution and scattering of the Bani Hashem—the family of the Prophet Mohammed. Just as the Jewish people gave birth to the idea of Zionism to reclaim their homeland, the followers of the Mahdi now begin to awaken to a similar yearning. Is this the beginning of a new dream—a vision of return, unity, and divine purpose? A movement that may one day be known as Mahdiism?
