Muslims 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."
