Mahdist War
The '''Mahdist War''' ( ''ath-Thawra al-Mahdī''; 1881–99 ) was a British colonial war of the late 19th century, which was fought between the Mahdist Sudanese of the religious leader Muhammad Ahmad bin Abd Allah, who had proclaimed himself the Mahdi of Islam ( the Guided One ) , and the forces of the Khedivate of Egypt, initially, and later the forces of Britain. Eighteen years of war resulted in the joint-rule state of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan ( 1899–1956 ) , a condominium of the British Empire and the Kingdom of Egypt.

Muhammad Ahmad
Muhammad Ahmad bin Abd Allah was a religious leader of the Samaniyya order in Sudan who, on June 29, 1881, proclaimed himself the Mahdi, the messianic redeemer of the Islamic faith. His proclamation came during a period of widespread resentment among the Sudanese population of the oppressive policies of the Turco-Egyptian rulers, and capitalized on the messianic beliefs popular among the various Sudanese religious sects of the time. More broadly, the Mahdiyya, as Muhammad Ahmad's movement was called, was influenced by earlier Mahdist movements in West Africa, as well as Wahabism and other puritanical forms of Islamic revivalism that developed in reaction to the growing military and economic dominance of the European powers throughout the 19th century.
From his announcement of the Mahdiyya in June 1881 until the fall of Khartoum in January 1885, Muhammad Ahmad led a successful military campaign against the Turco-Egyptian government of the Sudan. During this period, many of the theological and political doctrines of the Mahdiyya were established and promulgated among the growing ranks of the Mahdi's supporters, the Ansars. After Muhammad Ahmad's unexpected death on 22 June 1885, a mere six months after the conquest of Khartoum, his chief deputy, Abdallahi ibn Muhammad took over the administration of the nascent Mahdist state.

As-Sayyids The (Silsilah) Bloodline Of The Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.)
Brought To You By: The Kingdom Of Peace Keepers
As-Sayyid Muhammad Ahmad Al Mahdi was born on 12 August 1845-1885 at Labab Island - Dongola in Northern Sudan to a humble family of boat-builders, from the Islamic Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) through the line of his grandson Hassan. When Muhammad Ahmad was still a child, the family moved to the town of Karari, north of Omdurman, where Muhammad Ahmad's father, Abdullah, could find a supply of timber for his boat-building business.
On 29 June 1881, Muhammad Ahmad was publicly announced and proclaimed to be the Mahdi so as to prepare the way for the second coming of the Prophet Isa (Jesus). In part, his claim was based on his status as a prominent Sufi sheikh with a large following in the Samaniyya order and among the tribes in the area around Aba Island and his bloodline which connected him to the Muslim Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.)(A.S.).
As Sayyid (also spelled Seyd, Syed, Sayed, Sayyed, Saiyid, Seyed and Seyyed) (pronounced [ˈsæjjɪd], or [ˈsæjjed], Arabic: سيد; meaning Mister) (plural Sadah Arabic: سادة, Sāda(h)) is an honorific title of Nobility denoting males accepted as descendants of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) through his grandsons, Hasan ibn Ali and Husayn ibn Ali, sons of Muhammad's daughter Fatimah and his son-in-law Ali (Ali ibn Abi Talib). Descent does not necessarily have to be patrilineal; a man's status as sayyid may be acquired through the female line.
Daughters of sayyids are given the titles Sayyida, Alawiyah, or Sharifa. Children of a Sayyida mother but a non-Sayyid father cannot be attributed the title of Sayyid. However, they may claim the title Mirza for males or Mirziya for females. In some regions of the Islamic world, e.g. India, the descendants of Muhammad are given the title Amir or Mir.
In the Arab world, it is the equivalent of the English word liege lord or master when referring to a descendant of Muhammad, as in Sayyid John Smith. This is the reason the word sidi (from the contracted form sayyidī, 'my liege') is used in the Arabic.
Born approximately in 570 CE in the Arabian city of Mecca, Muhammad was orphaned at an early age; he was raised under the care of his paternal uncle Abu Talib. After his childhood Muhammad primarily worked as a merchant. Occasionally he would retreat to a cave in the mountains for several nights of seclusion and prayer; later, at age 40, he reported at this spot, that he was visited by Gabriel and received his first revelation from God. Three years after this event Muhammad started preaching these revelations publicly, proclaiming that God is One, that complete surrender (lit. islām) to Him is the only way (deen of Abraham) acceptable to God, and that he was a prophet and messenger of God.

Strength in Unity
As-Sayyid Al Imaam Isa Al Haadi Al Mahdi (Sunnis In Mainstream Islam)
The Ansaaru Allah Community (Nubian Islamic Hebrews) has been established since the year 1970 A.D., this was the victorious opening of the seventh seal. No one in the Islamic world has put forth as much doctrine as the AnsaaruAllah Community has in the short span of 40 years. The quote below speaks about the AnsaaruAllah Community and its millions of Ansaar (Aiders of Allah) worldwide.
Shaykh As-Sayyid Al Imaam Issa Al Haadi Al Mahdi formed a community called The AnsaaruAllah (Nubian Islaamic Hebrews), which identifies very closely with the original Muslim culture of the Nubian Sudan. This community, which originated in the turbulent years of the sixties, has tried to accommodate Black Nationalism, and Islam in one stroke. These facts are what attract African Americans, after they have been introduced to Islam, to this community. They want to live in a spiritual space free from the corruptions and difficulties of life in the general African American community. Their community life is very structured, unique and systematized. Women, married and unmarried, for example live communally separated from both their spouses and children. Their central mosque in New York is equipped with the most modern computer equipment, sewing machines, and tape reproduction and video equipment. They answer the worldwide call for True Light tapes, CDs, Islamic films, doctrine books, and Islamic garbs. Their research, graphics, mailroom and shipping departments were developed to continue the propagation of Al Islaam throughout the world. The Children of Light which were groomed within the AnsaaruAllah Community are highly educated in Arabic Fusha, Qur'aanic recitation, salaat, scriptural laws and the Da'wah of Al Mahdi of the Sudan.
Resembling the tribal histories that are all-important in the Islamic world, divergence is especially evident in this group. The Imam (Religious Leader) writes continuously asserting hypocrisy on the part of the Sunni Muslims and their efforts to further enslave African-American Muslims. Elaborating Elijah Muhammad's assertions of the primacy of African people and the special tasks of the African-American, Imam 'Issa has reconstructed the history of African people and a detail accounting of how African American Muslims have been duped by Sunni Muslims. Spelling out the deception, as he sees it practiced on the African-American Muslims, he notes certain injunctions and declares them false. Example are, the prohibition on drinking and/or domestic violence against women; if a man marries women who are not virgins, or widows or divorced, then they can only become concubines or right hand possessions in his family; that innovations are prohibited; and so on. Hadith literature, which is fundamental for most Islaamic sects, does not have legitimacy in this community.
As for being Muslims, Shaykh As-Sayyid Al Imaam Issa Al Haadi Al Mahdi (as they called him) repeatedly said, We are not like other Muslims. Our concept of Allah is not the same as yours....we do not believe in all of your Hadith, only if it matches the Qu'raan.....Sunnah is not something you read, it's something you live. When someone asked him if he was a Muslim, his reply was....Only by what the word Muslim means, that is one who is of peace. Not by religion. And not by their definition of submitter.
Brought To You By His Son: As-Sayyid Ali Abdullah Muhammed Bin Shaykh Al Hajj Al Imaam Isaa Al Haadi Al Mahdi
Al Mahdi Dynasty: The Royal Family :As Sayyid Abdur Rahmaan Al Mahdi (A.S.) (P.B.U.H.)
Son of the Sudanese leader Muhammad Ahmad ibn Abd Allah, “the Mahdi”. Regrouped his father's followers, the Mahdists, as a religious order in 1908 . Built the family's mosque in Omdurman and cultivated lands on Aba Island, where the Mahdi had announced his mission in 1881. These actions enabled Abd al-Rahman to proclaim the imamate of Ansar and create a spiritual, political, and economic center for the movement on Aba. He was the patron of nationalists advocating a separate independent Sudan not united with Egypt. He established the Ummah Party in 1945.
Sayyid Abd al-Rahman al-Mahdi, KBE (Arabic: عبد الرحمن المهدي) (15 July 1885 – 24 March 1959 was one of the leading religious and political figures during the colonial era in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan (1898–1955), and continued to exert great authority as leader of the Mahdists after Sudan became independent. The British tried to exploit his influence over the Sudanese people while at the same time profoundly distrusting his motives. Throughout most of the colonial era of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan the British saw Sayyid Abd al-Rahman al-Mahdi as important as a moderate leader of the Mahdists.
Abd al-Rahman was the posthumous son of Muhammad Ahmad bin Abd Allah, who was proclaimed to be the Mahdi or redeemer of the Islamic faith in 1881, and died in 1885 a few months after his forces had captured Khartoum. A joint British and Egyptian force recaptured Sudan in 1898. At first, the British severely restricted Abd al-Rahman's movement and activity. However, he soon emerged as the Imam (leader) of the Ansar religious sect, supporters of the Mahdi.

The Mahdi and a party of his followers, the Ansaār Helpers (known in the West as the Dervishes). Drawing from aspects of the Sufi tradition that were intimately familiar to both his followers and his opponents, Muhammad Ahmad had been appointed as the Mahdi by a prophetic assembly or hadra (Arabic: Al-Hadra Al-Nabawiyya, الحضرة النبوية). A hadra, in the Sufi tradition, is a gathering of all the prophets from the time of Adam to Muhammad, as well as many Sufi holy men who are believed to have reached the highest level of affinity with the divine during their lifetime. The hadra is chaired by the Prophet Muhammad, known as Sayyid Al-Wujud, and at his side are the seven Qutb, the most senior of whom is known as Ghawth az-Zaman.[8] In the belief system of the Mahdiyya, it was this divine assembly that bestowed upon Muhammad Ahmad the title of Al-Mahdi. The hadra was also the source of a number of central beliefs about the Mahdi, including that Muhammad Ahmad was created from the sacred light at the center of the Prophet's heart, that the Mahdiyya was eternal and the basic institution of the universe, and that all living creatures had acknowledged the Mahdi since his birth.
