Ahmed al-Hasan (born 1968 in Basra, Iraq) is an ordinary individual from a non-Sayyid tribe in southern Iraq. According to Asharq Al-Awsat, Ahmed al-Hasan graduated in 1999 with a degree in civil engineering from the Najaf Faculty of Engineering, subsequently pursued religious studies at the Najaf Seminary, and publicly commenced his call after three years.[1] Ahmed al-Hasan makes numerous claims, including being the son, successor, and envoy of Imam al-Mahdi, as well as the thirteenth Imam and the Yamani. He is strongly opposed to the religious authority of scholars, the clergy, and the seminaries, and has even engaged in armed rebellion in pursuit of this stance. In the view of many of his critics, his claims are highly contradictory. He is currently at large due to actions against national security in Iraq, involvement in terrorist activities, and murder; however, his supporters claim that he has entered occultation![2]
