The Mahdi (Arabic: ٱلْمَهْدِيّ‎, romanized: al-mahdiyy), meaning "the rightly guided one", is an eschatological Messianic figure who, according to Islamic belief, will appear at the end of times to rid the world of evil and injustice. In Islam, it is said that he will appear alongside Isa and establish the Divine kingdom of Allah.There is no direct reference to the Mahdi in the Quran, only in the hadith (the reports and traditions of Muhammad's teachings collected after his death). In most traditions, the Mahdi will arrive with 'Isa (Isa) to defeat Al-Masih ad-Dajjal ("the false Messiah"). Several canonical compilations of Hadith do include traditions concerning the Mahdi, although such traditions are notably absent from the two most-revered Sunni compilations, those of Bukhari and Muslim. Many orthodox Sunni theologians accordingly question Mahdist beliefs, but such beliefs form a necessary part of Muslim doctrine. Although the concept of a Mahdi is not an essential doctrine in Islam, it is popular among Muslims. It has been a part of the creed (aqida) of Muslims for 1400 years. Both Sunnis and Shia agree that the Mahdi will rule over the whole world and establish justice; however, they differ extensively on his attributes and status. Shi'ites have alternate views on which descendant of the Islamic Nabi (Prophet) Muhammad is the Mahdi. Twelvers, who form the majority of Shi'ites today, believe that Muhammad al-Mahdi, who is the son of the 11th Imam Al-Hasan al-Askari, is in occultation and is the awaited Mahdi. Tayyibi Isma'ili Shi'ites, including the Dawoodi Bohrah, believe that an Imam from the progeny of At-Tayyib Abu'l-Qasim is the current hidden Imam and Mahdi. The Baháʼí Faith believes that the Báb was the Mahdi, the spiritual return of the twelfth Shia Imam.
