Salaam.
I would like to add that I believe that Imam Mehdi is truly Riaz Ahmed Gohar Shahi, and I do not understand where the shirk is in that!
About Allah's name being on Gohar Shahi's left hand- many people may be offended by it, but they do admit that it is at least there. I mean, *the fact that ALLAH's name is on any part of someone is a very big thing...it is a sign and a blessing! ***
Beside this, it is important to note the significance of someone's true image being manifested on the moon.
Imam Ja'afar Sadiq said, "The face of Mehdi will appear on the Moon."
With this, it is important to understand the difference between the words MEHDI and Mahdi, which are often confused with each other. Mehdi means "The One of the Moon" (Fitting, is it not?) and Mahdi means "the Learned One (The one able to render guidance)."
**Also, one should remember that it is not possible for any human being to make any image on the physical Moon. Even with technology today, it would be impossible!
*So, if the image IS there (which is true), then it should be thoroughly investigated. This is what Syedna Riaz Ahmed Gohar Shahi was saying in that video, aqeel123. But from the above references and the fact that Gohar Shahi's image is on the Moon, it is already pointing to the fact that Imam Mehdi is Gohar Shahi.
*
On numerous occasions, this image on the Moon has granted Zikr-e-Qalb of ALLAH to aspirants and has even spoken with people in all languages. No ordinary picture could do that. **You could test this out yourself, on a day when the full Moon is in the East.
Besides this, the image of Imam Mehdi Gohar Shahi is on the Sun, Hajre Aswad, and many other places. *The fact that the image is on the sun fulfils one hadith which states that Imam Mehdi will not come until His image is manifested on the surface of the Sun. *Hajre Aswad, which has the image of Gohar Shahi inside of it, is between Rukhne Yumni and Moqaam-e-Ibrahim, fulfilling the hadith about it.
Many orthodox scholars, especially in Pakistan, do not agree with Syedna Riaz Ahmed Gohar Shahi and HIS TEACHINGS of Love of God because His teachings are universal- the teachings are meant to guide anyone and everyone from whatever religious background, not just Islam. He teaches PRACTICAL spiritual love of God, which was confined to the elite of the religions before. Abu Harera said: I obtained to types of knowledge from Prophet Mohammad. I already told you one of them, but if I told you the other one, you would kill me. This is the second knowledge that is being made available to all of us by Imam Mehdi. Those scholars and those biased people in the government have instigated false cases of BLASPHEMY against His Holiness because HIS TEACHINGS do NOT declare that Islam is the best religion, but rather that whosoever loves GOD is above all others. They did not like this, hence they tried to discredit His name so people who did not know about Him would have the wrong impression.
**
However, the one way to make sure somebody is truly from Allah is to test them. If they, through one simple glance of Nazar-e-Keemia, can connect you with GOD, then You would have to admit that HE is at least some sort of holy person. **

I urge You all to investigate the signs of Allah (as advised by Imam Mehdi Himself) as to not be deprived or end up rejecting someone from Allah because of lack of research.
