Al-Mahdi (Muhammad al-Mahdi)

Al-Mahdi, in Islamic belief, is regarded as the prophesied redeemer who will return before the Day of Judgment to restore justice and truth. Muhammad al-Mahdi, specifically, is believed by many Muslims, particularly Shia, to be the 12th Imam who went into occultation, meaning he is hidden but alive. When the time is right, he will reappear to guide humanity, establish righteousness, and lead a global era of peace. His arrival signifies divine intervention to restore moral order and eliminate tyranny and injustice. The concept underscores hope and faith in ultimate divine justice.
