Mahdi

In Arabic Mahdi, literally means, 'one rightly guided', and is often interpreted as 'the guided one'.

In Islam, Imam Mahdi is an ordinary man who will one day seek balance and stability in his daily life by simply following the teachings of the Qur'an. He will interpret the Holy Book like no one ever had before, and reach a perfect level of certainty (full knowledge). His full understanding on the true and righteous meanings of Islam will lead him to guide the world into a period of fairness and justice on earth. He will be followed by Jesus (in the Qur'an mentioned as Isa), and; together they will lead the minds towards the Day of Judgement (mentioned as Qiyamat in the Qur'an) and raise the world into heaven.

In Christianity, the existence of Mahdi is unclear and often not a subject talked about. It is important to note that The New Testament is a book that has been created, altered and changed by many different human beings. Christianity is based on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth as presented in canonical gospels (Paul, Luke, Truth, Thomas, John, etc..) and other new testaments. It was never created by the force of a Divine power, unlike the Torah in Judaism (Old Testament) or the Qu'ran in Islam.
