Husam Al Al-Mahdi comes from the Hakim family, a prominent Iraqi family of Shiite religious scholars. He witnessed firsthand the disparity between religious scholars' words and actions until he left Islam altogether and became an atheist. Yet he found his way back to God when he heard the voice of Imam Ahmed al-Hassan (peace be from him) for the first time, and in his voice, he found all the truth he was looking for.
