Mahdi First Name Meaning

The name Mahdi is of Arabic origin and is primarily used for males. It means "Rightly Guided." In Islamic eschatology, the Mahdi is believed to be a figure who will appear at the End of Times to rid the world of evil and injustice. He is expected to be a descendant of Muhammad and is said to appear shortly before Jesus. The concept of the Mahdi is popular among Muslims, although it is not an essential doctrine in Islam. The term Mahdi is derived from the Arabic root h-d-y, commonly used to mean "divine guidance." It has been suggested that the concept of the Mahdi may have been derived from earlier messianic Jewish and Christian beliefs. Throughout history, various individuals have claimed to be or were proclaimed to be the Mahdi, including Muhammad Ahmad, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, and others. The Mahdi is a significant figure in both Shia and Sunni branches of Islam, with differing interpretations of his attributes and status.
