Mahdi

In Islam, the title of a coming messiah who will establish a reign of justice on earth. The title has been assumed by many Muslim leaders, notably the Sudanese sheikh Muhammad Ahmed (1848–1885), who headed a revolt in 1881 against Egypt and in 1885 captured Khartoum.

His great-grandson Sadiq el Mahdi (1936– ), leader of the Umma party in Sudan, was prime minister 1966–67. He was imprisoned 1969–74 for attempting to overthrow the military regime.
