Salah El Mahdi is a prominent figure in the context of Islamic eschatology, particularly within the Shia tradition. He is believed to be the twelfth and final Imam, who is expected to return as a messianic figure to bring justice and peace to the world. His disappearance, known as the Occultation, is a significant event in Shia beliefs, marking a period of waiting for his eventual reappearance.
The concept of Salah El Mahdi is also linked to the broader themes of Mahdism, which is the belief in a messiah who will emerge to restore righteousness. His anticipated return is often associated with the end times, where he will lead the faithful against oppression and establish a just society.
