Mahdi In The Quran
Muslim belief in the Mahdi is reflected in a vast and complex literature. While Shi‟ite Messianism and the myriad aspects of the Mahdi have been described and analysed in a number of works, the purpose of this particular study is to explore the Messianic ideas implicit in the Qur‟an in the light of both classical and contemporary Shi'ite commentaries on the Qur'an. According to Islamic belief, the Qur‟an has a universal character and its message is the continuation of that contained in the earlier Revelations made to Abraham, David, Moses and Jesus.
