Mubashir (Gharbaic: مباشر, c. 698 CE - 4 June 770 CE) was a Gharib political, social, and religious leader and the founder of Azdarin. Mubashir recited the verses of Layansaa, which when compiled under the Caliph Abd al-Halim would become the holiest text in the Yen religion, under divine revelation and laid the foundations for the Caliphate that would one day encompass vast swathes of Eastern Scipia. He is referred to by many appellations including The Bright Singer, The Prophet Mubashir, The Shepherd, al-Mahdī, and Sayyid.

Born approximately 698 CE in the city of Sulh at the end of a long drought, Mubashir belonged to the House of Yuha'min, an important family of the Banu Sulaym, a sub-tribe of the Soureysh , who held a position of prominence and esteem, serving as judges and priests of al-Hamayin. He was raised in the household of his father Samah ibn Abd al-Malik and, upon his death in 705 E, was sent to live with his maternal uncle Ghalwan ibn Nasha. His uncle's family held grazing rights to extensive pastures and Mubashir became a wealthy shepherd and textile merchant. After a traumatic episode that involved getting lost in the desert and wandering for four days, all the while struggling with mirages and thirst, Mubashir experienced a divine revelation. He was then guided back to the walls of Sulh by the temenaa Sufra and commanded to remedy the discordant notes of past prophesies. A year later, in 733 CE, Mubashir began preaching these revelations publicly, proclaiming tawhid and wahid to be intrinsic aspects of Gedayo, imploring the people of Sulh to abandon immoral and callous practices, and decrying the worship of idols as apostasy and discordance.

The followers of Mubashir were initially few in number, and experienced mockery and persecution at the hands of polytheists, Christians, and Jews. After Mubashir orated his Sermon Between the Pillars, wherein he castigated Sulh's religious elites and tribal elders, including his paternal family within the House of Yuha'min, for their corruption, discordance, and materialism, in 735 CE, this culminated in his expulsion from the city together with his followers, who sought refuge with the Banu Azd in the Hasidhmawt.

89 BCE - Mubashir is separated from his caravan and has a vision of Ramalhadh - the hell of biting sands and blood-drinking ghouls - according to mystical sources. Several sermons about moderation, losing one’s way, and perseverance are delivered. Mubashir prophesies his triumphant return to Sulh.

87 BCE - Mubashir marries Alia bint Baroukkar, the daughter of one of the foremost princes among the Banu Azd, on a date that will become an important cultural holiday. This represents his full acceptance into the tribal caste system.

86 CE - The twins Arwa and Ummar are born to Alia bint Baroukkar. Arwa’s head emerges first, but Ummar is birthed grasping her heel fiercely and with hair already growing on his head. This is seen as a miracle because throughout his life all of Mubashir’s children had died and he was already in his old age.

83 BCE - The Banu Azd wholly embrace the teachings of Mubashir and, together with his followers within the city of Sulh, plan to return him to his prior position of authority. After seeing the Banu Azd arrayed against them, the elders of Sulh surrender immediately and fling open their gates. Mubashir makes a triumphant entrance on the back of his horse al-Kardal, who is described as being black and as sleek as night. He grants his persecutors mercy so long as they swear never to rise against him again. Idols are destroyed.
