Should believers pay taxes? Should they vote, work for the government, or obey modern laws? In this uncompromising episode of The Mahdi’s Manifesto, we address one of the most difficult and controversial questions believers face today — authority. From Moses versus Pharaoh, to Jesus and Caesar, to Muhammad and Quraysh, the message has always been the same: God alone appoints legitimate rulers. This episode exposes the forgotten truth that religion was never meant to be passive or purely spiritual. The prophets were not just preachers — they were kings, leaders, and heads of state. Their followers were not conformists — they were the resistance.
