The Hujjatullah Formula
How To Recognize Hujjatullah
By Laila Ali and Saihat Jibreel
It is understandable that upon learning about the Will
of the Prophet and the news of 12 Mahdi's after the
12 Imams, that for some people confusion begins to
set in. Even after accepting the Blessed Will and News
of the Arrival of Yamani a.s, How do
we Recognize Ahmed al Hassan a.s is truly the Proof
of Allah swt? As human beings we are constantly
seeking meanings and connections with
our surroundings, so therefore when something so

And it was because of His kindness and wisdom
that he (the AllMighty) placed a law for all mankind,
that through it they are able to distinguish between

false and slander. The law that is referred to consists of
three major points:
1. Divine text or the will
2. The knowledge and wisdom
3. Third, the call to the governorship of Allah, or,
the banner of allegiance to Allah.
Perhaps this law is a very simple law to
understand for people with a sound mind and a sound
reasoning (for example, if a person owns a factory, a
farm or a ship, or anywhere where workers work, the
owner must, for sure, appoint so
