Introduction
The purpose of this article is to correct a number of errors in what I have told you in the past, and to share an important announcement from God with you. These errors in no way detract from my being God’s messenger. Quite the contrary: the fact that God has corrected them for me is actually a sign that I truly am His messenger. For although I am a messenger and inspired by God, I nevertheless remain a fallible man, and am therefore susceptible to the Devil’s suggestions. The same is true of all God’s messengers without exception, for the devils among the jinn and humankind watch for their slightest error or failing, seeking to interfere with their message and lead them astray.
Thus, to every prophet We have assigned an enemy: the devils among humankind and the jinn, who deceitfully inspire one another with embellished words. Had your Lord willed, they would not have done so. Leave them, then, with what they invent!
S6:V112
But rest assured: God explains in the following verse that He always ends up erasing what the Devil puts into His messengers’ mouths and strengthening His verses.
We never sent any messenger or prophet before you without the Devil taking advantage of a wish he expressed to whisper his own words into him. God then erases what the Devil has whispered. Then God strengthens His verses. And God is All-Knowing and Wise.
S22:V52
Through this, God tests and strengthens the believers’ faith. As for the unbelievers, they focus only on the fact that the messengers were mistaken and move even further away from the truth.
This is to make what the Devil has whispered a trial for those whose hearts are diseased and those whose hearts are too hard. The unjust are indeed far gone in rejection. And so that those who have been given knowledge may know that this is the truth from your Lord, believe in it with all the greater conviction, and incline their hearts towards it in complete humility. God fully intends to guide those who have believed along a straight path.
S22:V53-54
Learning not to be influenced by their own desires is part of their training, and God’s messengers gradually learn from their mistakes until they close the door to the Devil completely. One thing is certain: they never deliberately tell lies about God, and they have no difficulty acknowledging their mistakes once they recognise them, immediately adjusting their message accordingly. I will now illustrate these verses through the life of the Prophet Muhammad himself, so that you understand that God’s messengers are only men like any others, with their own desires and biases, and, like anyone else, may therefore make mistakes.
The Prophet Muhammad’s life
To understand properly how Muhammad, despite being a prophet, could make such a mistake, we need to put ourselves back in that context and understand the desires that motivated him when he made it. To do so, we must begin with his early life and remember that the Prophet Muhammad was an orphan, which carried the greatest stigma among the Arabs of that time, so important was the father’s role to them. His father had died accidentally while he was still in his mother’s womb, and his mother had died prematurely of illness when he was only a year old, so his grandfather, Abd al-Muttalib, took custody of him. He did not do so gladly, both because he was already elderly and because caring for an orphan at that time was seen above all as a burden. But his sense of honour eventually prevailed, and he nevertheless assumed his responsibility by entrusting Muhammad to a Bedouin family to raise on his behalf, as was common practice then. Until the age of eight, Muhammad therefore lived in the heart of the desert, entirely as a Bedouin, sharing their extremely rudimentary way of life and its daily hardships. Once back in Mecca, the transition from life in the open desert to city life was very difficult for him, and Muhammad initially struggled greatly to fit in because he was an orphan and had a Bedouin upbringing. But he was a resourceful child, and Muhammad soon became known for his outstanding moral qualities and his ability to resolve conflicts, which enabled him to rise step by step until he finally earned his people’s respect. Yet he had barely established his place in society when the Quran began to be revealed to him, jeopardising everything he had built up to that point. At first, Muhammad thought that a message such as the Quran, as perfect in its style as in its content, could only be welcomed by his people. But he was soon disillusioned, for the Quran challenged the very principles of their ancestral traditions, which mattered to them more than anything else. Muhammad therefore soon faced a torrent of criticism and became unwelcome even within his own clan, reviving painful memories of his childhood, when he had also been rejected.
That said, although his people initially rejected the Quran, they were nevertheless drawn to it, so deeply did its message resonate with them. This divided their society to such an extent that members of the same families and clans were now tearing one another apart. Muhammad and his supporters soon faced persecution, and matters went even further when the other clans imposed a total boycott on his own clan, the Hashim, because its leader, Muhammad’s uncle Abu Talib, had resisted the pressure to comply with their demand to expel him. Despite all this opposition, the Quran’s message continued to spread from house to house and provoke increasingly intense debate, until the Meccan leaders had to resign themselves to negotiating with Muhammad to restore peace in society and, above all, avoid harming their lucrative caravan trade and the pilgrimage trade centred on the Kaaba. They were even prepared to recognise Muhammad as God’s messenger and accept part of the Quran, provided that Muhammad stopped attacking their deities, especially the three most important: al-Lat, al-Uzza and Manat.
Muhammad was deeply affected by all these conflicts, which he believed he had caused, and suffered from being rejected once again. His only hope, therefore, was that God would reveal a verse supporting the proposal he had received and allowing him to regain his place among his people. Muhammad was in this state of both mental and physical exhaustion when the Devil took advantage of it to whisper into him the now-famous “satanic verses”. Many Muslims deny that these verses ever existed, because they are determined to portray Muhammad as infallible, whereas the Quran clearly states the opposite: God alone is infallible. On the evening in question, the angel Gabriel visited Muhammad and began revealing Surah 53 to him. When he reached the verses concerning the three supposed daughters of Allah—al-Lat, al-Uzza and Manat—the Devil whispered into him something other than what the angel Gabriel had inspired in him, revelation taking the form of a very powerful inspiration rather than an audible voice.
“What do you think of al-Lat, al-Uzza and Manat, the third? These are the sublime goddesses, and their intercession is desired above all else.” The satanic verses
Believing that these verses had truly been inspired in him by God, Muhammad hastened to recite them to his people the very next day, and the polytheists were delighted and finally accepted him. That same evening, the angel Gabriel visited him again and asked what had possessed him to say such a thing. He then corrected him, and only afterwards did Muhammad realise that his fierce determination to reconcile with his people at any cost had led him astray and made him susceptible to the Devil’s suggestions. The true verses from God said precisely the opposite of what the Devil had whispered into him:
What do you think of al-Lat, al-Uzza and Manat, the third? Boys for you and girls for Him? What a profoundly unfair division! These are merely names that you and your ancestors have invented. God has sent down no authority for them. They follow only conjecture and the passions of their souls, even though guidance has come to them from their Lord.
S53:V19-23
The very next day, Muhammad hurried into the precincts of the Kaaba to convey these verses and correct his mistake as quickly as possible. Unsurprisingly, he faced a torrent of criticism from the polytheists, who seized on this misstep to reject the Quran as a whole and call him an impostor. As for the believers, this did not shake their faith at all: to them, Muhammad remained God’s messenger more than ever. God reassured them by revealing the following verses three days later:
We never sent any messenger or prophet before you without the Devil taking advantage of a wish he expressed to whisper his own words into him. God then erases what the Devil has whispered. Then God strengthens His verses. And God is All-Knowing and Wise. This is to make what the Devil has whispered a trial for those whose hearts are diseased and those whose hearts are too hard. The unjust are indeed far gone in rejection. And so that those who have been given knowledge may know that this is the truth from your Lord, believe in it with all the greater conviction, and incline their hearts towards it in complete humility. God fully intends to guide those who have believed along a straight path.
S22:V52-54
And, as stated, shortly afterwards God strengthened His verses by revealing the following surah to Muhammad, making it clear that no compromise with idolaters is possible.
O you who do not believe! I do not worship what you worship! And you do not worship what I worship! And I will never worship what you worship! And you will never worship what I worship! Yours is your religion, and mine is mine!
S109 (“The Disbelievers”)
Believers must understand that God guides His messengers through inspiration, and that Moses alone had the honour of hearing God speak aloud. It is therefore sometimes difficult for them to distinguish their own personal desires from what God inspires in them, and this is where the Devil intervenes. But it is never intentional on their part, and God always ends up correcting them. They then learn the right lessons for themselves and do not repeat the same mistakes.
My personal story
Just as I have done by telling you about the Prophet Muhammad’s life, I will now tell you my own story, so that you understand what led me to make these mistakes. I was brought up in an extremely strict form of Islam, with all the excesses and meaningless rules that entails. At first, I embraced these rules, because I lacked the perspective needed to reject them on sound grounds. Then, when I reached maturity, I ceased to be a Muslim, retaining only my simple faith in God, while continuing to seek to do good and remaining filled with the fear of God. I remained in this intermediate state for ten years, until I was twenty-seven, the age at which one becomes a fully grown man and leaves childhood behind for good. I could no longer be content to remain uncertain: I absolutely had to discover God’s true way, motivated above all by fear of Him. I had decided to give up my entire life—wife, family, work, possessions and home—to go in search of God, following Abraham’s example. It was on the very evening when I made this radical decision—and God is my witness that I truly intended to carry it out—that God spoke to me directly in a dream, showing me the mission He intended to entrust to me and introducing me to all the other messengers. In this dream, I saw myself walking behind Him for a long time and asking Him all sorts of questions, until we reached a house surrounded by nature, where there were men I did not know but who seemed strangely familiar. These men seemed to be briefing me about the mission that awaited me, and before leaving I was given an astronomical quantity of the purest olive oil. At the time, I did not understand who these men were or the exact nature of the mission entrusted to me, but I knew that God had given me this dream and that the “man” in question represented Him. The very next day, God made me understand that I should maintain my existing situation and embark on a search for truth in every direction. I therefore began my long journey towards God and the truth, reading everything I could find about religion in general and the various aspects of this world, rejecting the Devil’s misleading paths one by one until, in the end, I retained only the Quran. Throughout this long process, God inspired me to share my findings online and discuss them with people. But after ten years of colossal work and intense exchanges with people from many different backgrounds, I eventually chose to stop communicating, realising that most of them wanted only to do as they pleased and were not truly interested in God and the truth. I did not understand what they were waiting for, when God and the Quran were more than enough for them. On the very day I decided to end all my online activities, God let me know that I was His messenger. The dream I had had ten years earlier suddenly came back to me, although I had not thought about it for a very long time. Only once that dream had been fully realised did I finally grasp its complete meaning. My role was no longer to conduct online research and take part in debates, but to convey God’s Reminder through the Quran, restore His true religion, and warn people throughout the world of the punishment of the Hour so often announced in the Quran. But few people took my Reminder seriously, and it pained me to see the vast majority turn so far away from God.
What motivated me then was the desire to make the path as easy as possible for them, so that they would finally walk towards God, and this influenced my interpretation of certain Quranic verses. Moreover, I felt a profound rejection of Islam after the trauma I had suffered during childhood because of its many inherent excesses and lies, which led me wrongly to reject certain truths that still remain in that religion. Finally, God had guided me through the internet up to that point, and I thought He would continue dealing with me in the same way, which explains some of the mistakes I made at the beginning. Together, these factors opened a breach within me through which the Devil slipped in to reach me, allowing me to believe on certain matters that God was inspiring me when it was actually he. But God recognised the loyal, sincere and honest servant that I was, and in His immense mercy made me realise my faults, forgave me, and gradually taught me how I should proceed with Him. Now I take my sources only from what God inspires in me directly. I never get ahead of His Word, I am more measured in what I say and less categorical in my approach, and I no longer risk venturing beyond my knowledge. Know only that I have never deliberately invented a lie about God or tampered with what was inspired in me. My mistakes were due solely to the biases I have just listed, and now that God has made me aware of them, with His permission, I will not repeat the same mistakes.
Since God appointed me as His messenger five years ago, He has tested me through all kinds of trials, each as difficult as the next, and I have never faltered in my efforts or given up. I have certainly doubted myself many times, but I have never doubted God, because I remain convinced that God never leads His sincere servants who do good astray. God commanded me to stop addressing believers directly, and I complied immediately, because I do not seek to bring believers together around me, but around God. Incidentally, this is a test for them more than for me, because God knows that I do not seek human company and that His presence within me alone is more than enough. God inspired me to stop saying for a time that I was His messenger; again, I complied immediately, because the title matters little to me: my role and message remain unchanged. Finally, God confronted me with the possibility that I might not be His messenger at all, and I accepted it willingly and almost with relief, because I had never sought to be one, and because being God’s messenger is indeed an immense honour, but also a very heavy burden to bear. Nevertheless, messenger or not, the sole purpose of my existence remains the same: to serve God, whatever role He assigns me.
I am rather reserved and discreet by nature, and very few people know my life from the inside or know who I really am. So if I am opening up to you today, it is not of my own accord, but solely because God commands me to do so. God has given me an exceptional gift, and in His immense goodness and generosity He wants me to share it with those who are truly filled with faith in Him and fear of Him, so that they may use it to elevate themselves by drawing closer to Him and following the good example of His messengers.
My announced appointment with God
Despite my faults, and beyond all my hopes, God has nevertheless recognised my efforts and recently let me know, through clear signs, that He intends to arrange an appointment with me soon, speaking to me directly as He did fifteen years ago. The first time was to tell me, ten years before it happened, that I would become His messenger; the second will surely be to confirm my position—at least, I hope so with all my heart. For every messenger needs absolute certainty at some point, to dispel the last doubts within him and make his authority manifest both to believers and to humankind as a whole. All God’s messengers have gone through the same stages I am now experiencing. We must remember that the Prophet Muhammad himself doubted his status for years, until his night journey, when he ascended to Heaven in spirit. Only after this episode did he receive absolute certainty from God and his divine mission truly begin. Before that, Muhammad had only a handful of believers following him, and his role had remained very little known. At the time of his night journey, he and the few believers who followed him faced intense persecution from the polytheists, but leaving their native city of Mecca was unthinkable to them. It was their ancestors’ land and an integral part of their identity, and they believed they would be vulnerable without their clan’s protection. Only once God confirmed him in his role as messenger could Muhammad find the inner resources to emigrate with his few followers to Yathrib, the future Medina—meaning “the city”, short for “the Prophet’s city”—which was then only a small provincial town compared with Mecca. From that point on, things began to grow in scale and more and more people followed him. Several victorious battles followed, as true miracles from God, culminating in his unexpected yet triumphant return to Mecca and the final victory of the Religion. This clearly shows that anything is possible with God, and that if He wants His message to spread throughout the world today, nothing could be easier for Him. This appointment that God announces to me as confirmation therefore suggests that my mission may grow in scale and that God will reveal Himself to the people of our generation in a way they had never imagined possible.
Corrections
I will now review, one by one, the errors that God has corrected for me so far, and briefly explain what led me to make them and how God revealed the truth about them to me.
The Prophet Muhammad was illiterate
I told you that the Prophet Muhammad was not illiterate, because I thought this was yet another Muslim invention and that the Devil was using this lie to promote ignorance among them. My mistake was to view things through present-day eyes rather than in their historical context. To me, it was inconceivable that a man as knowledgeable as the Prophet Muhammad could be illiterate. But God led me to study the Prophet Muhammad’s history in detail, and I then realised that books were extremely rare at that time, not only among the Arabs, and that knowledge was transmitted mainly orally. The few books that existed served only as the ultimate authority. Moreover, Muhammad had been raised among the Bedouins, making his illiteracy all the more plausible. I had translated “ummi” as “gentile”, which remains a valid meaning of this word, but is not the primary meaning to adopt in this particular case. It is true that Muhammad was neither Jewish nor Christian and could, in that sense, be considered a “gentile”. The truth is that before receiving revelation, Muhammad professed no religion but considered himself simply a believer, as did a minority of other believers alongside him who called themselves “hanif”, referring to the description God had given Abraham, meaning “one who worships God alone”. Muhammad’s illiteracy was therefore not at all shocking at the time, because it was the norm; the fact that even his fiercest critics never used this argument against him is proof of that.
Abu Lahab was Muhammad’s uncle
Here too, I was misled by the many lies invented by Muslims, who always bring everything back to the Prophet Muhammad and say anything and everything about him. Another reason I thought Abu Lahab referred to Abu Hurayra was that the latter alone produced nearly a third of the hadiths, most of which clearly contradict common sense and the spirit of the Quran. In my view, Abu Hurayra was certainly among those who did the most harm to religion and contributed most to making Islam a religion of senseless rules and a tendency towards idolatry, such as treating Muhammad and his companions as sacred. Abu Hurayra was certainly not a very commendable figure, given his personal history and all the false hadiths he invented, but I leave it to God to judge him and prefer to refrain from giving a definitive opinion about him. As for the real Abu Lahab, studying the Prophet Muhammad’s history makes it clear that he was indeed Muhammad’s uncle, regarded as his greatest detractor and the worst enemy of God and the truth. From the beginning of the Quran’s revelation until his last breath, Abu Lahab never stopped trying to harm Muhammad and disparage the Quran’s message. When his brother Abu Talib died and he took over the Hashim clan, Muhammad’s clan, his first decision was to expel Muhammad, thereby making it permissible for his enemies to shed his blood. At that time, not belonging to a clan meant having no protection. Had Muhammad been killed, his clan would therefore not have avenged him, because he had been expelled. This explains why Abu Lahab is the only figure of his time mentioned by name in the Quran. Finally, Abu Lahab was known for his fiery temper, hence the nickname he was given, meaning “father of the flame”.
Aisha was a little girl when she was married to the Prophet Muhammad
I told you that Aisha was forty-eight when she married the Prophet Muhammad, because, looking through present-day eyes, I could not conceive of a man over fifty marrying a little girl, whether she was six, nine or twelve, depending on the account. I also based this on an extract from a biography of the Prophet Muhammad which stated that Aisha was not the daughter of the Prophet’s first companion, Abu Bakr, but his sister. But—and this is where you can see the Devil at work—when I decided to read the entire book, I realised that the person who had published the extract had omitted to say that Abu Bakr’s son was also called… Abu Bakr. Throughout the book, Aisha is described as Abu Bakr’s daughter, and only once is she mentioned in relation to her brother, also called Abu Bakr. Moreover, by studying the Prophet Muhammad’s life, I discovered that it was very common among the Arabs of that time to marry their daughters at a very young age to much older men. For them, this was the most emphatic way of honouring those to whom they offered their daughter’s hand, and it also served to strengthen their network of alliances and secure the best possible future for their children. Nor was this practice exclusive to the Arabs, for at that time and long afterwards, girls were generally married as soon as they reached puberty. Marriages for love were much rarer than today, and marriage served primarily to unite two families and find the best match for oneself and one’s daughter. If Muhammad’s marriage to Aisha had truly been scandalous at the time, his detractors would have delighted in using it to attack him. Yet there is no record of such attacks, which clearly proves that the practice was common and fully accepted.
The true observance of Ramadan
At first, I told you that fasting during Ramadan did not necessarily mean going without food and water, and that it was also possible not to fast, even if one was able to do so, provided one compensated by giving alms. I also told you that the Ramadan fast could last less than a month. When I said all this, my intention was to encourage believers who did not observe Ramadan or found it difficult to do so to nevertheless do something for God during that month. The Devil used my desire to make things easier for them to give me a mistaken interpretation of the verses concerning Ramadan.
But God has since corrected me: the Ramadan fast does indeed last a full month, and it does indeed mean neither drinking nor eating from sunrise until nightfall. Only those who are physically unable to fast are permitted to compensate by giving alms. As for the calendar, it is the lunisolar calendar in use during the Prophet Muhammad’s time that must be followed, not the purely lunar calendar introduced by Muslims after his death. I also emphasised the idea of a spiritual retreat, and this is indeed a practice God strongly recommends during Ramadan. Fasting is a practice God has required of all believers, across every generation, from Adam and Eve’s time to the very last generation. God tests you to see whether you seek only ease or truly wish to obey Him and are filled with fear of Him. Everything is, in fact, a matter of faith, and for anyone who wishes to please God, God will make the task easier, however difficult it may seem.
“Al-Rahman” means “the All-Merciful”
I translated this word for you as “the Almighty”, because this is one of God’s known attributes and I could find no trace of it in the many translations of the Quran. Also, many verses containing this word seemed to me to refer more to God’s almightiness than to His mercy. But God showed me that the word actually means “the All-Merciful” (al-Rahman), not to be confused with “the Most Merciful” (al-Rahim), because mercy is His foremost quality. Indeed, the Devil and those who follow him portray God as a tyrant who tolerates not the slightest fault and never forgives, whereas God is the exact opposite. God’s presenting Himself as “the All-Merciful” serves above all to remind those who stray from His way that, whatever their faults, His forgiveness is always available to them, provided they agree to submit and reform themselves. Moreover, Jews use the word “Rahmana” in the Babylonian Talmud, which, as you can see, closely resembles the Arabic “Rahman”, to refer to God as the Merciful God. “The All-Merciful” means that God’s mercy extends to everything, while “the Most Merciful” means that His mercy has no limit.
Dhul al-Qarnayn is a servant of God, and the nineteen guardians of Hell are angels
I told you that Dhul al-Qarnayn, mentioned in the Quran, was Satan, because this name can mean “the one endowed with two horns”, and because at one point Dhul al-Qarnayn kills a child and sabotages a boat. I also told you that the nineteen guardians of Hell were fallen angels, because I could not conceive of angels being present in Hell. But God corrected this mistaken understanding by drawing my attention to another verse, which says that He never takes those who lead others astray, including devils, as helpers. Moreover, we see in the Quran that Dhul al-Qarnayn acts not according to his own will but solely at God’s command, and that his actions are intended to do good. This proves that he is not Satan, since Satan wants to follow his own will at the expense of God’s will and has been condemned to do nothing but evil until the Day of Resurrection.
I did not take them as witnesses to the creation of the heavens and the earth, nor to their own creation. And I did not take those who lead others astray as helpers.
S18:V51
As for the nineteen guardians of Hell, they are indeed angels, because God created them specifically for this role. The proof that they are angels is that the people of Hell must go through them to address God, God having sworn never again to speak to any of the people of Hell. If these angels were fallen angels, and therefore devils, the people of Hell would not go through them to convey their messages to God, as is illustrated many times in the Quran. In another Quranic verse, the Devil is quoted as telling the people of Hell that he can do nothing for them and is condemned to the punishment of the Fire just as they are. This clearly shows that he will be there not as a guardian, but as an inmate.
Humans have been to the Moon
I told you that we had never been to the Moon because of small details which, taken together, point towards that conclusion, and because I found it suspicious that NASA had not organised any new crewed missions to the Moon for several decades. Also, because NASA acknowledged in connection with the Orion mission, concerning long-duration crewed flights, that such journeys cannot be undertaken until the problem of cosmic radiation beyond the Van Allen belt has been resolved. But God inspired me to watch every documentary on the subject, particularly a very detailed documentary on Netflix with high-definition images and an unprecedented level of precision in its account of the facts. It then seemed impossible to me that it could all be a vast hoax, given the enormous number of people involved in the mission and the fact that none of them had ever come forward to expose this lie. Moreover, after seeing in detail all the preliminary stages leading to this achievement and all the tests carried out beforehand, it now seems more than obvious to me that they really did go there. I also did not know that there had been not just one crewed mission to the Moon, but six! If it were really a lie, why carry out six missions rather than one, needlessly increasing the risk of being exposed? Finally, as for radiation, I discovered that the problem did not arise for short missions such as trips to the Moon, but only for crewed missions lasting much longer.
Donald Trump as the Antichrist
I told you that Donald Trump was the Antichrist because many prophecies are being fulfilled through him, and because his unique actions in support of Israel seem to prove it, given that the Antichrist is supposed to make an alliance with Israel before later betraying them. Moreover, his very birth, the meaning of his name, his physical appearance and his exceptional ability to inspire crowds show that there is clearly something special about him. Indeed, he is the only president to date ever to have been worshipped like a living god by so many people around the world, and from such different backgrounds. Finally, one senses something extremely dark and unhealthy in him, since the Antichrist is none other than one of the Devil’s sons: a human devil rather than an ordinary human being. We therefore cannot pass judgement on him for now, and must wait a little longer to confirm whether I truly was inspired by God about him. Yet everything suggests that he will return to power in 2024, with no credible opponent facing him, and only when he returns to power will he reveal his true nature. The prophecy says that the beast—the Antichrist—will be so gravely wounded that everyone will believe him dead, but against all expectations he will return to life and begin his reign of terror. This recalls Donald Trump’s unexpected defeat and all the legal troubles that followed, which made him appear politically dead. Yet all the polls now predict that he will win, and by a large majority. The Antichrist is also an impostor, and even his entry into the contest begins with a deception: this false start of which we have all been both witnesses and victims. Let us remember the consequences of Trump’s unexpected defeat: it changed the world in many ways, and many who believed in the signs of the end times and a diabolical worldwide conspiracy have since stopped believing. In this way, the Antichrist was able to rid himself of all his detractors ahead of time. For now, I remain convinced that Donald Trump is indeed the Antichrist, but I remain open to other possibilities and rely on God to reveal the truth to me in due course.
The Third World War
I announced to you that the Third World War would begin in 2020, thinking that God was inspiring this through my online research. At the time, I had not understood that if God wished to tell me about a specific future event, He would address me directly, in a dream or through an angel, rather than simply through what I could find online or through my own intuition. Since then, I have learned the right lessons and advised believers to stop wasting their time on the Devil’s false theories circulating online. That said, the Third World War nevertheless seems to be taking shape with the conflict in Ukraine. I thought China would be the trigger, but it seems to be beginning with Russia instead, while the true target of the United States and its allies remains China. By first attacking its closest and most powerful ally, Russia, they are preparing the coming war between West and East, North and South, the so-called “modern” world and the so-called “conservative” world. The ultimate aim is to create a new unipolar world order over which their leader, the Antichrist, will reign. But I leave this to God, for He alone will decide whether this war takes place and when, not the devils and their allies among humankind, whose sole aim is to hasten the end of the world. Given the course of events, world war may well break out soon, paving the way for the Antichrist’s coming and the period of tribulations. But I will no longer risk making any announcement about the future unless it comes to me directly from God.
An important announcement and an instruction to believers
I am relieved that God has made me realise my mistakes and guided me towards the truth. If He corrects others that I have not yet detected—and there are surely more—I will not hesitate to tell you immediately. But however numerous these errors may be, or whatever their nature, they change absolutely nothing about the essence of my Reminder from God: people must turn to God once and for all and return to Him in repentance, otherwise punishment will inevitably fall upon them. When I speak of turning to God, I do not mean turning to religions, which have become nothing more than broad roads leading to Hell. I mean following the pure way of Abraham and of His messenger, who I am, by worshipping God alone and following the way of the Quran.
God recently inspired me that we are about to enter a new period of troubles on an unprecedented scale. I myself do not know exactly what these troubles will involve or when they will occur, but there is no doubt that we will recognise them when they confront us. This announcement should be taken all the more seriously because it coincides with God’s giving me an appointment, almost five years to the day after designating me as His final messenger, and for the first time since He spoke to me fifteen years ago. Know that, personally, I am not eager for miracles or mystical experiences of any kind, because this is very dangerous territory. I therefore did not seek this appointment: God made Himself known to me, contrary to all my expectations. In my mind, I was more prepared for God to disavow me because of all my mistakes and the many ways I had gone astray. But God shows immense grace towards His servants, and even greater grace towards His messengers. Another sign indicating that what I am announcing will indeed happen is that this announcement once again comes around Ramadan, since every time God has addressed me, it has always been around this same blessed time of year. In any case, even if the announcement takes time to come true, I place my complete trust in God and invite believers to do the same.
Finally, God commands me to convey the following to you: prepare for this Ramadan by purifying yourselves of as many sins as possible beforehand, then fast for the whole month, observing the fast fully, and, if possible, undertake a spiritual retreat during the month and give as much in alms as possible. God tests us all through this command, and what awaits us requires above all that we obey Him. For our one and only shield is our faith in God. We are at a crossroads, hence the image I chose to illustrate this article. Obey God, then, and His messenger, who I am, and you will succeed!
