	Mahdi
		In Sunni Islam, the "Mahdi" is just one of several important figures, while the "Mahdi" of Shi'i Islam has a real eschatological importance, and is in the future the most important figure for Islam as well as the world.
		In the case of the Shi'i Mahdi many scholars have suggested that there is a clear inspiration coming from the Messiah-figure of Christianity and its ideas of a judgement day in the hands of a religious renewer.
		When "Mahdi" was used for the Abbasid Caliph an-Nasir, he was defined as the final Mahdi, and there were no need to expect any future Mahdis.

		Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed (Somali: Cabdulaahi Yuusuf Axmed) (born December 15, 1934 in Galkayo, Puntland, Somalia) is the transitional Kenya on October 10, 2004, and sworn in on October 14, 2004.

		Muhammad Ali's son Isma'iI began the Egyptian conquest of Sudan, and by the time the future Mahdi was born in the 1840s much of what is now Sudan had been recognized as de facto Egyptian territory by the Ottoman sultans in something of a fait accompli, since there was little they could have done otherwise.
		Muhammad Ahmad, the future Mahdi, was raised in a family of Nile boat-builders on the outskirts of Khartoum, modern Sudan's capital.

		Ali Mahdi Muhammad (Somali: Cali Mahdi Maxamed; born 1938) was president of Somalia from January (when Mohammed Farah Aidid removed the then president Mohamed Siad Barre) to November of 1991, but was not able in that time to exert control over the country.
		The shock of the news caused an irreparable sundering of the USC between those who followed Ali Mahdi ("USC Mahdi", mainly comprised of members of the Abgaal clan) and those who followed Aidid (who went on to create the Somali National Alliance, or "USC/SNA").
		On March 30, 1998, Ali Mahdi Mohamed and Hussein Aidid put together a peace plan which shared power over Mogadishu, ending a period of seven years of fighting since the ouster of Siad Barre.

	UNHCR - Chronology of Events: June 1994 - April 1995 (Supplement to Chronology of Events September 1992 - June 1994)
		Ali Mahdi's faction of the United Somali Congress (USC) holds Aidid's SNA responsible for the renewed fighting, contending that the SNA has broken a series of pacts, accords and cease fires signed since March 1992 (Voice of the Somali Republic 24 June 1994; Reuters 25 June 1994; Indian Ocean Newsletter 2 July 1994, 3).
		Spokespersons for Ali Mahdi's faction of the USC claim Aidid and the SNA are responsible for the renewal of violence, while officials with the SNA deny any responsibility (Voice of the Great Somali People 31 July 1994; Voice of the Somali Republic 26 July 1994).
		Ali Mahdi is quoted as saying that there have been "intermittent clashes" at the airport between his militiamen and forces loyal to General Aidid.

	Letter From Baghdad: The Growing Sectarian Divide
		Members of the Mahdi Army use the Shiite honorific "Sayyed Jaafari" in referring to him, though he does not wear cleric's garb (Jaafari is, like Sadr, technically a descendent of the Prophet Muhammad, according to Shiite tradition).
		He was also a student of Muhammad Bakr al-Sadr, Muqtada's uncle and the founder of the Dawa Party, who was assassinated by Saddam Hussein in 1980.
		Just as Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, Iraq's ranking Shiite cleric, could not immediately convince the Mahdi Army to end its rebellion in Najaf and Baghdad against the US military in 2004, killings of Sunnis in Sadr's name seem to be taking place regardless of whether Sistani approves.

	Mahdi [From: 'The Ahmadiyya Movement' by Maulana Muhammad Ali]
		If in reports relating to Mahdi different parties for their own ulterior motives have mixed up false reports, this is quite feasible, although this again proves that behind these reports there is something substantial which both the parties had wanted to seize upon to serve their own ends.
		In short, the real Mahdi of Islam is he who has clarified the real meaning of Mahdihood and has shown to the world that the Mahdi of Islam is a spiritual Mahdi and that Islam's success depends on its intrinsic spiritual values and not on outward force.
		The point that Mahdi is superior to Jesus, though Jesus was a prophet of God, only means that, as a Mahdi, he will manifest the truth of Muhammad and, as a Messiah, the truth of Jesus, the former being superior to the latter; it is because of this that Mahdi is superior to Jesus.

	Muhammad al Mahdi
		(868- ?) Muhammad al Mahdi (the guided) is the 12th and last Imam of the Twelver Shi'i, and is also known as Muhammad al Muntazar (the awaited).
		In brief, the Twelver Shi'i believe that he was born to a Byzantine slave named Narjis Khatun, and that his birth was kept quiet by his father, the Eleventh Imam, Hassan al Askari, because of the intense persecution of the Shi'is at that time.
		On his deathbed in 941 CE, the fourth Bab, as Samarri produced a letter from the Imam stating that there should be no successor to as Samarri and that from that time forward the Mahdi would not be seen until he reappeared as champion of the faithful in the events leading to the Judgement Day.
