and
Imam Madhi
Mahdi (Arabic mahdiy,
‘he who is guided aright’), the expected Muslim Messiah, whose coming
was prophesied in the 10th century. Some Muslims hold that the Mahdi is
yet to appear; others believe that he has already been on Earth but will
return. Throughout Muslim history, pretenders and fanatics have claimed
to be the Mahdi.
"It has been well
known, and generally accepted, by all Muslims in every epoch, that at
the end of time a man from the family of the Prophet -Mohammed- will without
fail make his appearance, one who will strengthen the religion and make
justice triumph. He will be called the Mahdi."
