Abstract
This chapter discusses the figure of the Mahdi, who in Islamic eschatology is the prophesied redeemer of Islam, ridding the entire world of all evil as a kind of Messiah for Muslims. The chapter critically engages with this idea and ties it to Bedouin traditions and the role of hope versus reality.
