The guided one
In Islamic tradition, Mahdi is a title referring to the 'Rightly Guided One' who is expected to appear before the Day of Judgment to bring justice to the world. It is a significant spiritual name across the Muslim world, symbolizing hope and divine guidance. While it functions as a title in theology, it has been used as a personal given name for centuries.
