Writings and philosophy

Origins of Kadin's political thought

Kadin was a proponent of a common religious doctrine in 4500s Wadiin called the Belief in the Ordinary Man, which asserts that the Prophet was not the sole receiver of Widya's vision, but rather he was the first man to properly adhere to the teachings of Widya. The thought that any man could serve Widya should he hear the call was an important belief to Kadin, and is thus what created one of the founding principles of Kadinism: democracy. Kadin was radical in his belief that being a descendant of the Prophet had no weight on your holiness, thus he viewed the royalty of Wadiin as wholly unnecessary and archaic. The Prophet was not unique because he was born royalty, he was unique because he was an ordinary man who chose to follow the light of Widya. Kadin believed in a system where the people and the Experts of Wadiin could vote for who they believed was most holy and ready, rather than adhere to the whims of a royalty that could be unholy and corrupt themselves.

Legacy

Kadin’s ideas would have lasting impacts on various Kunwidya communities across the world. His ideas and doctrine took hold largely in the overseas holdings of Wadiin, including the area of what is now the modern United Kadinist Provinces
