Masafir (also known as the Traveler) is a messenger in Aintizar Islam. Born as the prince Abdallah ibn Amir, he became Caliph and reigned during the onset of the first Daedalus missions. Unusually involved in aspects of faith, even for a man of his position, he developed a strong cult of personality. The contentious revelation of a fragment of the Preserved Tablet, detailing divine preordained history, informed him that he must embark across the stars where a paradise will be revealed for his people. Masafir, as he came to be known, did embark on the 5th Daedalus voyage. Though embarking hundreds of years ago, this ship is still in flight as confirmed by Aintizar clerics. It supposedly travels at speeds in excess of the recommended safe limit at the time, making communication with the ship a very slow process due to the extreme time dilation experienced by the on board crew.
While not technically being a law-giving prophet (the last one being Muhammad) the creed of Masafir did include a canonized collection of the hadith, which became on of the main points of contention between other branches of Islam.
