What is Mahdi?
The '''Mahdi''' or '''Mehdi''' ('the rightly-guided one') is [[Islam]]'s messiah or savior. It is said that he and the [[Jesus in Islam|Prophet Jesus]] will change the [[earth|world]] for the better, bringing God in all hearts, before [[Yawm al-Qiyamah]] (''Day of the Resurrection''). In particular, the [[Sudan]]ese tribal leader [[Muhammed Ahmed]] proclaimed himself as the Mahdi, appointed by [[Allah]] to free his country. He defeated the forces of the [[Khedive]] of [[Egypt]] and the British, only to die suddenly six months later. == Other websites == * [http://www.mahdavia.com/Ihsan/Mahdavia.htm Who are Mahdavis?] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081201174253/http://www.mahdavia.com/Ihsan/Mahdavia.htm |date=2008-12-01 }} * [http://www.promisedmehdi.com The Promised Mehdi] * [http://mahdavia.info/promised_one/index.html Syed Mohammad AlMahdi AlMow'ood] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080927122944/http://mahdavia.info/promised_one/index.html |date=2008-09-27 }} {{religion-stub}} [[Category:Islamic theology]]
